} TTTE ATLANTA OEOROTAN ANT) NEWS. “ CIRCUS GIRL H Little Actress Reaffirms Right to Title of “Dainty" — Her Gowns an Attraction. By TARLETON COLLIER. Emma Bunting—she of the well- deserved title "dainty”—at the Lyri • Theater Monday night aroused At lanta to a realization that another season of legitimate theatricals had dawned. In "The Circus Girl" she and her company opened the lorn; darkened show house. Everything considered, It was quite an auspicious awakening. Miss Hunt ing’s usual meed from the Atlanta public, a crowded house, was ther-5. The theater Itself was as gay of color as ever. The orchestra was energetic enough to aet the whole house to pat ting feet and to knowing that this was an unusual occasion. And then there were startling effects In clothes that Miss Bunting sprang on her au dience, causing everybody to stare and gasp. Springs Sartorial Sensations. The last word In fashion, even an unbreathed promise of sartorial won ders, was embodied in the raiment of the little actress. And hardly less than her own well-known nalvet*^ were her clothes an attraction. Miss Bunting’s company, particu larly her leading men, George E. Whitaker and Jack Ball. s:tisfled the demands of the Lyric audience, which at times was vociferous In its ap plause. The play itself was well cal culated to arouse applause, being >f the simple type in which crude, red- blooded American Westerners break into a snobbish English country homo to startle and dismay the occupants. Took Tomboy Role. Miss Runtlng, as you naturally have guessed from what you know of Miss Bunting, was the tomboy American girl, unaffected and unas’ med of her father, who made his start tending bar. and who confessed that fact even In the face of the shocked nobleman w’ho w r anted to marry his daughter for her millions. "The Circus Girl" will be the offer ing at the Lyric a’’ the week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday. Mann and Sims Run a Dead Heat at Forsyth. Old favorites are on the boards at the Forsyth this week. Sam Mann headlines a bill of snap and variety with Aaron Hoffman's playlet, "The New Leader," and gives a perform ance replete with funny situations and funnier dialogue. Mann and his com pany gallop through a perfect riot of fun and frollics for 40 minutes. The turn represents a Monday morning rehearsal at a vaudeville theater. William Simms is back, too, in* "Flinders’ Furnished Flat.” a sketch that has probably caused two-thirds of the United States to luugh. Simms has some new stuff In his act, and his attempt to paper a room is about the funniest thing Forsyth patrons have seen this year. Simms runs Mann a dead heat in the race for popular favor. Camille’s Dog Circus is an animal act out of the ordinary. Marie El more has some stunning gowns, but her songs and dances are not on a par with the clothes. Alexander and Scott have a good "cullud” act. They Introduce some good songs and a clever female impersonator. The Gasch Sisters close the bill wdth a re markable gyrm.i 3tio exhibition. Robert Emmet Kane did an "Eng lish” sketch and seemed to be more concerned about digging his Audience than getting his lines over. LAUGHING FOUNDLING SHUNS INVTERVIEWERS C ARE of the teeth is taught today in thousands of schools—the children are saved much misery from toothache and have better general health. In your home—as well as in the schools—the com mon sense of “Good Teeth —Good Health” is plain— for adults as well as for children. Twice-a-day care with a safe, antiseptic, p/eas- ant - tasting dentifrice does wonders for man, woman and child. Be sure the one used in your household answers these requirements—you are protected if each mem ber of the family has a tube of COLGATE’S RIBBON ~~ DENTAL CREAM Consult your dentist about it ask him to give you a copy of the booklet “Oral Hygiene” published by Colgate & Co. NEW CITY CHARTER Would Like to Elect Police Board, but Will Not Talk About Chief Beavers. The City Council, with one or two possible individual exceptions, will support the new charter which will make possible the wiping out of the Police Commission and the establish ment of a new board with a new policy. Following The Georgian’s explana tion of the political significance of the new charter, It Is the one topic dis cussed In political circles. "I don’t think there is any doubt that practically every member of Council Is anxious for this new char ter to be adopted,” said Councilman George H. Boynton, of the Sixth Ward, Tuesday. "That charter will be adopted by the voters of Atlanta,” said Council man C. D. Knight, of the Second Ward. There Is not a member of Council, though, who will yet give an Inter view on Chief Beavers and the police policy. Kven Mayor Woodward won't. Yet all state privately It is the vital Issue In the campaign. Many rumors are nfloat of new candidates for Council. Whoever comes out victorious, the old crowd or a new' one, there will be a real tight over the control of the police depart ment, if the new charter Is adopted. The members of ttie present Coun cil seem willing nnd anxious to elect a new police board. Whether they would eleet the members of the pres ent Police Commission or new mem- tars with a different policy Is hard to tell. But the present Police Commis sion would have a decided advantage in the tight to remain in poyrer if the old Councllmen were re-elected. RESINOL CURED AWFUL PIMPLES Philadelphia, Pa.-—"I had been' troubled for the past three years | with pimples which completely i covered my face and neck. The ] pimples would come out, fester up and cause me to pick at them. ] feeling very uncomfortable. I tried most all kinds of facial ('reams, but [ with no effect I tried a sample of Resinol Soap and Ointment uifd , noticed instant relief. 1 bought 1 Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint- ] nient, and began the treatment. After using two jars of Resinol, Ointment and Resinol Soap, thei was not a pimple to be seen, and now my fare is as smooth as if j there was never a pimple on it." < Signed) Albert Greenburg, 4167 Frankford Ave., Oct. 27. 1912.

At Home for Friendless. “He refuses to talk to the report ers." That was the answer given Tues day when an interview was sought with the newest arrival at the Homo for the Friendless, a mysterious young personage, who as y*»t has vouchsafed no explanation for hie presence at 10 o’clock Sunday night on the porch at No. 206 Woodward avenue, the home of James H. Me Nesser. The new Inmate not only declines to throw r any light on his movements Sunday night, but he as persistently refuses to disclose his name. He Is pleasant to everyone; greets all his visitors with a smile, but when *1 comes to talking there Is "nothing doing.” Failing to learn his Identity, the police named him "Joy,” and so he is known at the Home for the Friend less. where he has become the center of all attention. “Joy" Found on Porch. "Joy" was discovered and brought Into the limelight by Mr. McNesser, a real estate agent. "Joy” compla cently was ensconced on McNesser’s front porch when the real estate man returned home Saturday night. The young intruder alternately was en gaged In testing out his lungs, the use of w’hich, by the way, he had possessed for only about three weeks; and In Inventorying the number of toes on his two chubby feet. This latter occupation seemed to occasion him considerable worry. He was sure that there should be ten altogether. Finally he found that none was missing, and a baby laugh of satisfaction gurgled out on the night air. It startled the ears of Mc Nesser, who was just coming up the steps. He was not accustomed to tlnding babies on his porch when he came home o’ nights. He struck a match and peered down at the little bundle in front of his door. Clad in Fine Garments, "For the love of Mike, what are you doing here?” exclaimed McNesser. "Joy” laughed right in his face, but didn’t say a word. An hour later "Joy” was holding a levee at the police station, after which he was established at the Home for the Friendless, where he will stay until a permanent abiding place is found for him "Joy,’’ when he was discovered on the McNesser porch, was all decked out in dainty garments of excellent quality. The clothes were hemstitched and embroidered in attractive design. Daring Slit Bathing Suit Starts a Riot ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 2.—Two policemen rescued Mrs. Charles Len- ning, of Burlington. N.

GUI TELLS IRISH TO STAY AT HOWIE Bishop of Natchez Would Make It a Crime to Emigrate From the “Auld Sod.” Irishmen would do better to stay in Ireland and not come to the United States, in the opinion of the Rt. Rev. John E. Gunn. Bishop of Natchez, former pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Atlanta. In fact, Bishop Gunn goes further, and Bays that if It were in his power he would make emigration from Ireland a crime, so hurtful does he believe it to be to the best interests of his na tive land, according to Irish news paper accounts received by friends here. Bishop Gunn is now on his na tive soil, and while delivering a charity sermon at Flvemileton, Coun ty of Tyrone, took occasion to refer to the fact that on account of emi gration * Ireland was suffering. He said that America had been a fairy land to thousands of the Irish people, and they sought to explore it, but the time was past when such pros perity as once proved so alluring was In evidence. The Bishop feelingly told of the battle in Ireland for civil and re ligious rights, and exclaimed: “And now when our fathers have won the fight there is no reason to abandon the battlefield—to turn over Ireland to the outsiders to do its business, to develop its industries and to possess its soil. Now the Irish people have fixity and ownership and instead of enjoying their own they hurry to the steerage to begin an unequal struggle again as hewers of wood and drawers of water.” After telling of the successful re sult of the struggle to put the Irish In charge of their own domestic af fairs. and of emigration even after these great accomplishments, he asks: “How long can Ireland last if this daily depletion, this running sore, this natural dry rot, sapping, ruin ing, destroying the brain and the brawn of the country, be not stopped?” Cadet, Refusing to ‘Squeal,’ Waits Trial WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—On infor mation that Benjamin Sloan Beverly, a cadet from South Carolina, was under arrest in West Point awaiting court martial for refusal to "squeal” on hazers, Representative Asbury F.
