THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
"THE GIRL 1 ' SPLENDIDLY PLAYED.
With every part excellently oust. “The
Girl From Out Yondei ' was given the
initial performance of the week by Miss
Hilly Long and supporting company at
the Atlanta last night.
The big audience was in thorough
sympathy with tHe work of the players,
generous in appluuse and laughter.
The central characters in the story
are the daughter and father, played by
MNs Long and Joseph Klrkham, and
tli;:! I heir work was most excellent is
lust evidenced by the fact that toe big
scei < the parting in the third act was
met by a silence as breathless as it was
profound, and in which the female ele
ment of the audience were constantly
drying their eyas, more or less surrep
titiously.
The stor\ of the play briefly Is that
an old light house keeper lias reared
his daughter from infancy to young
womanhood as a rough little sea chap,
with ail the characteristics and manners
of ihe rough sea folks. When the story
opens she has met a young civil en
gineer in<| they love each other. The
old father believes that twenty years
earlier he has murdered the civil en
gineer's father in a drunken fit. That
his daughter may marry the young man,
lie tells her that she is not his daugh
ter, but a bit of human flotsam from a
wreck. That another killed the en
gineer's father is shown in rhe last act,
and all comes oul right.
Without exception, every part was
well played, ami besides those men
tioned above. Ralph Marthy as Joe>
handled a difficult character study well,
and Miss Kathryn Sheldon and A1 War
ren presented some effective and infec
tious comedy. In ihe part of Cousin
Simonson Miss Sheldon was particular
ly good, for the character is one which
could he so easily overdrawn.
Except Wednesday evening. “The Girl
from Out Yonder" will he played all
week every evening amt at Wednesday
and Saturday matinees.
SPLENDID BILL AT FORSYTH.
It’s a “summery” show they have at
the Forsyth this week—one of those
light, bright, refreshing hills that is
fully able to successfully combat hot
weather. There's a lot of singing and
dancing, pretty girls and laughs galore—
and that’s the season of summer vau
deville.
Atlanta always is partial to a (jus Ed
wards' production, more than likely lie-
cause they always are good. The Kid
Kabaret which heads this week’s hill at
the Forsyth is no exception. With a
dozen or more clever young folks and
the latest of Edwards’ catchy music*,
the act delights thoroughly. Some old
favorites are in the bunch—Eddie Can
tor. George Jessell, the funny little Yid
dish man; Betty Washington and Ruthie
Francis. Each of them scores the usual
hit. Little Miss Washington with her
violin—in the parlance of the footlights
—registers a “regular knockout."

Only Once a Year Do the Papers Carry Such News As This
THE SPRING SALE OF SUITS
The Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co.’s sale of suits for the Spring s ason of this good year of 1913!
Now all who have waited, stop waiting.
It is time to act quickly, surely.
To you who know the Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co.’s methods, the way things are done in such
sales, the simple announcement that to-morrow is the day would doubtless prove sufficient—but,never
theless, you who know us best can hardly appreciate the true significance of to-morrow’s event.
This outranks other spring sales!
There is a finality about it, from the price viewpoint, from the style viewpoint; the finality of the
price viewpoint you see below; that of the style viewpoint you shall see to-morrow—we can but hint
at it here.
The suits are fresh, bright, splendid styles, a great part of them just sent us by our buyer, now re
turning from New York. To say they are the latest styles is to tell an interesting fact, and one that is
full of meaning to women at this time, when stocks are supposed to be rather low and picked over.
So up to-morrow and to this sale—nothing that could be desired has been left undone, your suit,
in the material, shade ani fashion you want is here—at one of these prices:
$25.08 $29.75 $35.00 $37.50 Suits
Picture the charmingest suits that this gay sea
son has brought out at prices from$25to$37-5o, these
are what you are going to choose from to-morrow
at $14.75. Serges, corded and striped materials,
eponges in all colors—which, of course, means that
the staple navy and black suits are included—and
shepherd checks. We will not attempt the styles,
their name is legion, qualified by beautiful—cuta
ways, blouses, plain tailored.
$30.50, $45.00, $48.50 to $60.00 Suits
At $22.50
Here we get into the suits distinguished by
Paris style points—the “de luxe’ 1 suits; in fact, a
splendid little lot of silk suits in bright spring colors
has been included, too. Gracefully draped skirts
are prominent and little cutaway coats and odd
blouses and rich trimmings and again just simple
elegance. Many are of imported fabrics, serge,
eponge, diagonals, light, soft corded material? —
any color.
