1 fEATURE OF
OPi SEASON
Musi Lovers Await With Eager
Aticipation Presentation of
Tuneful Fantasy.
•Tales of Hoffrtan.” the Offenbach
fantastic opera t«r be presented to
night by the Metrcbolitan, will Intro
duce several star| of the company
who already have been heard this
week, and one or wo who have not
sung here this seaon.
Carl Jorn. the attnan tenor whose
work in "Lohenf in,” ."Koenigskln-
der" and “Cavallefia’’ has made him
popular in AtlantJ will sing: the fine
role of Hoffman 5-night, and three
equally promlnenj feminine roles will
be taken by HemM, Bori and Fornia.
Miss Hempel w|(he heard as Olym
pia, the meohanlal doll, the first
of Hoffman’s thrf loves. Rita For
nia. who has ne(r before been given
a good part In afAtlanta season, will
sing Gluletta, th beautiful Venetian
siren. Miss Bofwll! be the Antonia,
the Munich mai<n>, who sings herself
to death.
Segurola 1 Double Role.
The opera wl Introduce a number
of leading sing.’s in brief roles. Leon
Rothier, the bsso, will double in the
roles of Coppdus and Dr. Miracle,
the latter a wtrd evengali-Ilke char
acter who appvs ' n the Antonia tale.
Dinh Gilly, w° sang so well in “Gio-
conda” yes’tel&Y. will have the fine
role of Dap'tutto in the Venetian
scene, single the superb “Diamond
Segurola-'ill double the roles of
Spalanzani fid Schlemil. Reiss, the
tenor rnmfian. will have great op
portunity f Cochenille and L renz.
Jeanne Mabourg will sing the male
role of pilaus, the companion of
Hoffman rough all his wanderings.
Richard ageman, the Dutch con
ductor, vl direct the orchestra.
The opet is without a really great
leading ’ le * but it makes up for this
by givii fine parts to half a dozen
singers. The three roles of'Olympia,
Giulett^ficl Antonia are usually sung
by one i0 Prano, but the Metropolitan
has si a a wealth of singers that it
offers hree stars in the parts,
ramous Gondolier Song.
T/i “Tales” is famous especially
for/te “Barcarolle,” the famous Vene
tian gondoliers’ sing, sung in the sec-
oBiact and played as an intermezzo
\J he orchestra. It is led by two
ytaen’s voices, the chorus joining
j he refrain, and the swaying, som-
pient music depicts the rocking of
fie gondola in the Venetian lagoons
is the boatmen swing from side to
side in their rowing It is not un-
/usual for the whole audience to catch
Ithe movement of the air and sway in
their seats in time to the music.
The opera is not so somber as most
of the famous works, nor is it con
nected as to plot. Hoffman, a stu
dent, in a wine cellar with his com
panions, is teased about his arrlburs.
He replies: “I will tell you the story
of my three loves.” The curtain then
rises on “Olympia the Doll,” the first
of the love tales. It changes to the
story of Violetta and then to the tale
of Antonia. Sometimes the first and
third acts are transposed for great
effect. Hoffman and his companion,
Niclaus, are the only characters seen
in all of the acts.
At the end of the third tale the
■cene shifts back to the wine cellar,
where the epilogue is sung.

CHRISTMAS SMC
PLAN MAKES I HIT
Hundreds of Children Have Be
come Members of the “Club”
Formed by Jravelers' Bank,
A popular chord has been struck
with the youngsters of Atlanta by the
Christmas Savings Club plan recently
Inaugurated by the Travelers Bank
and Trust Company. A systematic
plan to help the kids save their pen
nies when they don't miss them, in
order that they may have a fat little
cheek to help sweeten the holidays,
is something new in Atlanta, and the
novelty, as well as the good sense of
it. has helped the plan to “take hold.”
Hundreds of children are going to
the bank every day, carrying with
them 1 cent or 2 cents or B cents for
their first deposit, according to which
class they want to Join, and are com
ing away with the proud feeling that
they have a bank account. Many par
ents are opening club accounts in the
names of their children, and then let
ting the little ones com© weekly to
make the deposits themselve*. J

Keeps His Pcsoners Good by
Refusing to Let Them See Ball
Game When Refractory.
"There will be no flogging either of
men or women in the Kentucky State
Reformatory while I am warden, un
less every other method of discipline
fails,” was the assertion to-day of A.
J. G. Wells, who was placed in charge
of the .Kentucky institution a few
months ago.
Warden Wells is In Atlanta to at
tend the sessions of the Southern So
ciological Congress, which began to
day.
His attention was called to the re
cent agitation by some of the Georgia
convict camp wardens who wish again
to b© given the privilege of whipping
their women prisoners. It was then
he made known his own policy in re
spect to corporal punishment.
Whfen he was told how county war
dens are chosen in Georgia, choice be
ing governed in many instances by
friendship or political considerations,
Warden Wells shook his head in dis
approbation and remarked that a
more destructive system and one
more demoralizing to effective penolo
gy could hardly be devised.
How does he discipline these hard
ened and vicious women and the near
ly 1,400 men without the use of the
lash?
Here is his answer:
By night classes attended by half
the prison population.
By a system of demerits imposed by
a prison court of the same style as an
ordinary police court—“except that we
treat them better,” says the warden.
By meetings for the guards and
other prison officials, in which all the
phases of criminal life and prison dis
cipline are considered and planned.
By deprivation of privileges for
minor infractions of prison discipline;
the solitary for more serious offenses.
Warden Wells was a judge in Cal
loway County during the night rider
outrages, and won considerable fa-
1 vorable notice because of his adjudi
cation of these troubles.

city witnessed such a crowd of wom

ticularly the former, in its hotels,
apartment houses and cottages, walk

places of entertainment, cafes and re
sorts.
Fully 700 of such temporary resi
dents are here for no other purpose
than securing a legal separation from
their husbands or wives. They are
spending an enforced seven to nine
months in any manner which will
most pleasantly “kill time” until they
are maritally freed.

Militant Dynamiters
Now Terrorize Wales
Attempt to Blow Up Bank Owned
by Lloyds' at Cardiff Foiled
by Police.
CARDIFF, WALES, April 25.—
Militant suffragettes are now spread
ing terror throughout Wales. Early
to-day the police found a bomb on
the doorstep of Lloyd’s Bank in Al
bany Road just in time to extinguish
the fuse and prevent the building
from being wrecked.
Upon the infernal machine were
printed “Votes for Women.” On the
other side were the letters “R. I. P.,”
supposed to represent the initials of
the Latin phrase, “Requiescat in
Pace.”
The bomb had been rudely con
structed of a large tin cannister,
three-quarters filled with gunpowder
and another explosive.
