TALENTED MUSICIAN
Lady Constance Richardson, Ger
trude Hoffman and Polaire Are
Booked to Perform Here,
Gertrude Hoffman, who has never
appeared in Atlanta since becoming
a star, will be seen at the Atlanta
Theater this season with one of the
greatest combinations of stars ever on
tour in the history of theatricals.
With Miss Hoffman will appear Lady
Constance Richardson of London, and
Mme. Polaire. of Paris, the three
being assisted by a company of 100.
The contract for this notable tri)
was received by Manager Homer
George Friday morning. It provides
for the appearance of the stars n
four performances shortly after the
Christmas holidays. Their coming
will prove an event whi'h will at
tract hundreds from all parts of the
State, as this will be the only city
in Georgia in which they will appear,
according to the present route.
Early in the season, when Morris
• lest announced that he had contract
ed for these three international stars
in one combination, the theatrical
world gasped in astonishment, as
each is a star in herself. The com
bination is expected to prove the sen
sation of the year.
Gertrude Hoffman is especially well
known in Atlanta. She was'here with
the old Wells-Dunne-Harlan troupe
during the summer when the Grand
was given over to musical comedies.
Shortly afterward she became famous
for her impersonations and since her
reputation has become international.
Lady Constance Richardson is the
beautiful English society woman who
has been dancing for a few years.
This month's Cosmopolitan Magazine
has many photo» of her, with an In
terview regarding her entrance upon
the stage. Her beauty articles are a
feature of The Georgian magazine
pages Mme. Polaire i-» the distin
guished French artiste who has been
boosted as the ugliest woman in the
world and at the same time the clev
erest in her specialties.

Gospel, Less Oratory

a religious teacher and an instructor
in the work of the Lord."

brush them twice every day.”
