Something Worth While Offered.
The Georgian f*e!s that In giving
.-eats to the Atlanta Theater it is of
fering something worth while to every
theatergoer
The Atlanta Theater never presents
any but first-class attractions, and the |
Billy Long stock company '« no ex- j
ceptlon to its invariable rule.
Miss Billy Long, say those who al
ready have seen her play “Wildfire,”
which Lillian Russell made famous,
say she is more than a good actress:
that she is one of the beat. Lillian
Russell herself could give no more
satisfactory portrayal of the lending
role, and Miss Long in ably supported.
Good Company Playing.
The Atlanta Theater is anxious that
the Atlanta public shall not confound
this stock company with the ordinary
summer reperloiro aggregate ». This
ts an infinitely superior organization.
Tho Atlanta Theater feels that when
the as leaders of The Georgian
and Sunday American have passed
their discriminating verdict on the!
performances, and the merits of Miss
Billy Long and her supporting players
fhu? are advertised, u 11 Atlanta will
flock to the theater through the sum
mer. Insuring the success of the un
dertaking. That is why the Atlanta
Theater is co-operating c o heartily
with The Georgian in the distribution
of free seats.
But the boys and girls are more in
terested In the free ponies and carts,
Following the announcement in The
Sunday American that such pretty
and valuable prizes were to be award
ed to dorms of children in Atlanta, n
perfect flood of nominations poured
into our offices. Already ( uotigh chil
dren have indicated their willingness
to compete for the ponies and carta
that It Jr plain the contests will l»c
