Posthumous Work of Massenet
Scores Pronounced Success
at Its Dress Rehearsal.
By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, April 25.—The dress re
hearsal of "Panurge," the first of
three of the posthumous works of
Massenet which may be heard here,
took place at the delete Lyrllque
■with pronounced auccasa. This
charming and effective little opera is
made In the very spirit of Rabelais,
•who inspired both the composer and
Ills librettist*.
Although from end to end the op
posite of serious. It Is marked by
Massenet's art and Ingenuity. Light
to a fault at times, often Indeed
closer In style to operetta than real
opera, it is melodious, piquant, gay
end full of grace.
Among the numbers In the score
•which Were most liked, and rightly
liked, to-day I may mention the in
troduction of the first act, an ex
quisite romance for Pannrge, of the
same family as the "Legend of the
Sagebrush,” in "Le Jongleur;” an
other song for Panurge in the second i
act; all the music of Prere Jean and j
Pantagruel; the chorusea of nuns and j
monks, and an Intermezzo for violin, j
solo and onrhestra, which may prove
as popular as the "Thais” medita
tion,
"Paijorge" was admirably lirter-
jreted by Mareoux In the title role,
>v Mart1nell! as Pantagurue and by
a tenor named Gllly as Frere Jean.
The scene in which Colombe, the
hero's wife, confesses her pretended
Infidelities to Panurge, who is dis
guised as a monk, made a great hit.
Limy Arbell was the wife Colombe.

OF THE
Highbrows Fail to
Uplift Shop Girls
Colfege Women Fail In Their Work
Because They Aren't Good
Mixers.
ALBANY, April 26—The Wagner
Factory Invastigating Committee has
withdrawn from department stores in
New York and several other large
cities its quota of college girls who
have been observing the manner In
which shop girls live with a view |
to determining whether low wages Is j
responsible for the moral downfall of
many.
. The experiment has not produced
very satisfactory results no far.
So far as can be learned here the
so-called "highbrow” college grad
uates who seem to have failed be-
< ause they aren’t "good mixers" are
to be supplanted by women of less
education hut more practical turn
of mind who will be better equipped
to meet the shop girls on equal terms
and more easily win their confidence.

•’V ■ lut and self-measuring
Funny things happen in the hear
ing of the theater box office man In
the course of a day’s labor.
And some are as pttiful as they are
humorous.
The other night an elderly woman
purchased a ticket at one of our
theaters. She went In and sat down
Ih the foyer.
An hour later, after the perform
ance had begun, she came out and
approaching the ticket window,
asked;
"Has the show started yet?" ’
"Sure. It’s been going on about
half an hour,” said the box office
man.
"Well, that’s queer; I’ve been sit
ting in there alone for quite a while
and I’ve seen no one act yet.”
She had mistaken the largs foyer
for the theater.
The following story 1s recalled by
a local theatrical man;
"Othello" was billed to play In an
Eastern city tn 1906, when consider
able of a fuss vras on over the piracy
of plays.
"You say you are the manager of
tills Othello company,” said the
house owner.
"Yes, 1 have authority to transact
all business for the firm,” replied the
showman.
"Well, I'll let you play my house
If you can give me a written per
mission from the author."
Hill Shakespeare having been dead
many, many years, the show official
was unable to comply with the re
quest He finally told the owner that
he had not heard from Bill In some
time, and after much argument suc
ceeded In convincing him that he was
not violating the copyright law. and
the play went on.
Only tlie other day one of our man
agers received the following letter:
"Manager:
"Please send me two seats.
"Very truly yours,
"Enclosed find *10; return change.”
The writer did not state what
| show he wanted the seats for, the
I date or the location desired.
Emphasizing the fact that a good
! box office man must be a mind read-
i er and have an unlimited Imagina
tion.
THE PLAY THIS WEEK.
"Wildfire” Continues to Please-
"Wildfire,” as presented by the Miss
Billy Long Stock Company, continues
to please patrons of the Atlanta The
ater where the company Is playing
the first week of the summer season
Miss I»ng has already become very
popular with the theatergoers and

dividual hits. The company is
well-balanced one and Its handling of

Sculptured “Bather"
Is Given Real Bath
Spectators In Museum Watch
Nymph's Ears Rubbed and Her
Face Sponged Clean.
NEW YORK. April 25.—"The
Bather” in the Metropolitan museum
of art has had a real bath, and
looked quite fresh and nice to-day.
There were no prudes present, at
least in the gallery, where this figure
of a nude woman, by the sculptor
Edmond Stewardson, is exhibited.
Instead of beating a retreat the spec
tators gathered closer.
A11 unconcerned, an employee work
ed away on the white marble statue
with a sponge from a stepladder. Even
a statue can get dusty now and then,
he explained, and therefore, the
need of* the polishing. There was
much laughter, however when he
gave the nymph’s ears a good rub-
ping and sponged her face.
It required half an hour for “The
Bather" to get her bath.

Plumeless Hats Win
Style Experts’ 0. K.
Tyrant Man Blamed for "Murderous
Millinery" by Speaker at London
Exhibit.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 25.—Fentherless
hats provided one of tlie features of
the exhibition and conference in Lon
don for the purpoes of bringing to
gether societies and individuals inter
ested in tlie sui nression of cruelty
to animalB.
The millinery exhibits are Intended
to prove that women’s hat - may be
both beautiful and fashionable with
out the aid of feathers and plumes,
the plucking of which, it is said,
causes unnecessary pain to the birds.
A hat with a large plume made of
grasses, stiffened and colored, won
general approval from fashion ex
perts. Ribbons played a great part
in the trimmings.
Mnie. Sarah Grand, first conference,
dealt with the question of "murder
ous millinery." Man, she said, was
at the bottom of the whole mischief.
Selina’s Samples
By MINNA IRVING.
S ELINA took a train to town
To buy herself a summer gown
She trudged along from store
to store,
Until her feet were hot and sore,
Collecting samples.
Her hands were full of silken snips,
Her pockets bulged with satin strips;
Her bag with lawn and cloth was
crammed,
Yet In the crowd she madly jammed,
Collecting samples,
P INK, blue, and purple, brown and
green
And all the varied shades be
tween,
Red, yellow, white, and black and
gray.
And still she traveled on her way.
Collecting samples.
Designs of rings, and checks and
dots,
Stripes, wreaths and silver dollar
spots.
Or plain with borders on the side;
But on she sped unsatisfied,
Collecting samples.

"Twice Giblets” New
Order at Quick Lunch.
In one of those lunch rooms where
you get a platter and order your
meal, acting as your own waiter, the
manager is a woman. She sits Just
inside the kitchen at a window from
which she relays the orders bawled
to her by two young men who stand
at the counter where they wait upon
customers.
A popular dish on the bill of fare
yesterday was chicken giblets and it
was directly responsible for a small
spat and the promulgation of a new
rule in the restaurant In question.
At noon there were four or five
persons at the counter clamoring to
be waited upon. The first order re
layed to the kitchen was “chicken
giblets.” The manager .(woman, you
understand) relayed it thus: "Chick
en giblets, one.” And the chef, who
ever it was, sung out, "Chicken gib
lets, one," just like an Alpine echo.
Two men who came in together
both wanted giblets, eo the young
man at the counter sung out "chick
en giblets,, two.” The manager and
chef both thought he meant "chick
en giblets, too,” and only one order
was prepared. When it came out,
of course, there was a protest from
tlie customers, backed up by the man
behind the counter.
"We wanted two orders," they said.
“That’s what I ordered,” said the
counter man.
And quite a wrangle ensued. The
upshot of the matter was that Miss
Manager for Mrs. as it happens to
be) issued an edtet that in future
when an order of chicken giblets for
two is wanted it shall be given thus-
ly: “Twice giblets.”
That’s plain engugh.
Country Folks Blockade
Sidewalk on Peachtree.
Curiosity on the part of a bunch
of country folks who were in town
yesterday caused a young- blockade
on Peachtree at Marietta and nearly
resulted in action on the part of the
traffic officer at Five Points. These
folks had come to town to see the
sights. That was evident, and they
did not purpose missing anything
that wus free.
One of them—a girl—spied a queer
sign in a window of a shop and she
must needs see it at closer range.
She informed her escort of her de
sire and he was perfectly willing to
gratify her curiosity—and his own.
The word was also communicated to
others of the party and in a few mo
ments hurrying pedestrians on the
street found themselves up against
a bulwark of gaping rusticity.
The stream of humanity whi?h
flows along this main artery of the
city eddied out into the street and
there was a great rubbering of necks
to see what was the cause for th<s
unusual crowding at the point.
“Aw. shucks,” said the girl who
was the cause of the blockade, aPer
she had read the sign, “hit ain't
nothin’ but er advertisement an’ I
didn’t believe a word of hit.”
“Me nuther,” echoed her swain,
and the whole party backed out into
the street and started off on another
tack.
