PHEf CALLED
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 tln-HH re-
hearaal of •‘Panurge," the first of
three of the posthumous works of
Massenet which may he heard here,
took place at the Gaiete Lyrlique
with pronounced success. This
charming and effective little opeia is
made in the very spirit of Rabelais,
who inspired both the composer and
his librettists.
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
and full of grace.
Among the numbers In the score
which were most liked, and rightly
liked, to-day 1 may mention the in-
troduction of the first act, an ex
quisite romance for Panurge, of the
same family as the “Legend of the
Sagebrush,” In "Le Jongleur;” an
other song for Tanurge in the second
act; all the music of I-re re Jean and
Pantagruel; the choruses of nuns and
monks, and an intermezzo for violin,
solo and orchestra, which may prove
as popular as the “Thais” medita
tion.
"Panurge" was admirably inter
preted by Marcoux in the title role,
by Martlnelll as Puntagurue and by
a tenor named (filly 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.
Lucy Arbell was the wife Colombe.
Highbrows Fail to
Uplift Shop Girls
College Women Fail in Their Work
Because They Aren’t Good
Mixers.
ALBANY, April 25.—The Wagner
Factory Investigating Committee has
withdrawn from department vtores In
New York and several other iarge
cities its quota of college girls who
have been observing tile manner in
which shop girls live with a view
to determining whether low wages is
responsible for,the moral downfall of
many.
The experiment has not produced
very satisfactory results so far.
So far as* can be learned here the
so-called “highbrow” college grad
uates who soem to have failed be
cause they aren’t “good mixers” are
to bo supplanted by women of less
education but more practical turn
of mind who will be better equipped
to meet the shop girls on equal terms
and more easily win their confidence.

OF THE
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 pitiful as they are
humorous.
The other night an elderly woman
purchased a ticket at one of our
theaters. She went in and sat down
in the foyer.
An hour later, after the perform
ance had begun, she came out and
approaching the ticket window,
asked:
“Has tin* 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 large foyer
for the theater.
The following story is recalled by
a local theatrical man:
“Othello” was hilled to play in an
Eastern city in 1906, when consider
able of a fuss was on over the piracy
of plays.

Sculptured “Bather"
Is Given Real Bath
Spectators in Museum Watch
Nymph’s Ears Rubbed and Her
Face Sponged Clean.
NEW YORK. April 26. 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.
All unconcerned, an employee work
ed away on the white marble statue
with a sponge from a stepladder. Even
i statue can get dusty now and then,
he explained, and therefore, the
need of the polishing. There was
much laughter, however when lie
gave the nymph’s ears a good rub
bing and sponged her face.
It required half an hour for “The
Rather” to get her bath.

ial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 26. Featherless
hats provided one of the features of
the exhibition and conference in Lon
don for the purports of bringing to
gether societies and Individuals Inter
ested in the suppression of cruelty
to animals.
The millinery exhibits are Intended
to prove that women’s hats 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.
.Mine. 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 sTtips.
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
grav.
And still she traveled on her way.

“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 tire 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 quesiion.
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, so the young
man at the counter sung out “chick
en giblets, two.” The manager and
chef both thought he meant “chick
en gfblets, too,” and only one order
was prepared. When it came out,
of course, there was a protest from
the 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 (or Mrs. as it happens to
be) issued an edict that in future
when an order of chicken giblets for
two is wanted it shall be given thus-
lv: “Twice giblets."
That's plain enough.
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 was 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 \Yhi i
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. af f er
she had read the sign, "hit ain't
nothin’ but er advertisement an’ 1
didn't believe a word of hit.”
"Me nuther,” echoed her swain,
and tiie whole party backed out into
the street and started off on another
tack.

TECH SCRUBS DO BATTLE
WITH GEORGIA TO-MORROW
The Tech scrub baseball team will
play the University of Georgia scrub
team in Athens to-morrow. This
should be a rattling good game, as
both teams are about up to varsity
standard and are hot rivals.
These two teams played at the Tech
fiats last Saturday, and the Red and
Black got the big end of the score,
defeating the Baby Jackets by a score
of 2 to 1. It was a good game, and
the winning run was made in the last
inning.
The Tech team will return Satur-
day afternoon.
