Little Actress Reaffirms Right to
Title of "Dainty” — Her
Gowns an Attraction.
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Emma Bunting—she of the well-
deeerved title “dainty**—at the Lyric
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 Ion'?
darkened show house.
Everything considered, It was quite
an auspicious awakening. Miss Bunt
ing's usual meed from the Atlanta
public, a crowded house, was ther?.
The theater itself was as gay of color
as ever. The orchestra was energeMc
enough to set the whole house to pat
ting feet and to knowing that this
was an unusual occasion. And then
there w'ere 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 naivete
were her clothes an attraction.
Miss Bunting’s company, particu
larly her leading men. George E.
Whitaker and Jack Ball, satisfied 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 jf
the simple type In which crude, red-
blooded American Westerners break
into a snobbish English country hom«j
to startle and dismay the occupants.
Took Tomboy Role.
Miss Bunting, as you naturally have
guessed from what you know of Miss
Bunting, was the tomboy American
girl, unaffected and unash med of her
father, who made his start tending
bar. and who confessed that fact even
In the fac" of the shocked nobleman
who wanted to marry his daughter
for her millions.
"The Circus Girl” will be the offer
ing at the Lyric a M 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 laugh. 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 with a re
markable gymnastic exhibition.
Robert Emmet Kane did an “Eng
lish” sketch and seemed to be more
concerned about digging his audience
than getting his lines over.
C ARE of the

for adults as well as for
children.

Throws Self Into Aged Parent’s
Arms—Parted Since Leaving
United States.
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 2.—Jackies of
the U. S. S. Utah, which has ju«t
returned from target practice, gath
ered round the for’ard 12-inch tur
rets and loudly praised their ship
mate, Vincent Astor.
“At first the boys were a bit shay,”
said Quartermaster Barnett, “but they
found Mr. Astor was more of a man
than a millionaire. When the meal
was over one of the boys went up
and said, "Say, Vin, how’d you like
to have your picture took under one
of the big pop-gun,s?”

At Home for Friendless.
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. Even Mayor Woodward
won’t. Yet all state privately it is
the vital issue in the campaign.
Many rumors are ailoat of new
I candidates for Council. Whoever
| comes out victorious, the old crowd
j or a new one. there will be a real fight
over the control of the police depart-
j ment, if the new charter is adopted.
| The piemhers of the present Coun-
! cil seem willing and anxious to elect
| a new police board. Whether they
| would elect the members of the pres-
| ent Police Commission or new metn-
I bers with a different policy is hard to
! tell. But the present Police Commls-
, slon would have a decided advantage
j in the tight to remain in power if
the old Coundlmen were re-elected.
RESINOL CURED
AWFUL PIMPLES
Philadelphia. Pa.—“I had been
troubled for the past three years
with pimples which completely
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 creams, but
with no effect. I tried a sample of 1
Resinol Soap and Ointment and
noticed instant relief. I bought
Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint
ment. and began the treatment.
After using two jars of Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap, there
was not a pimple to be seen, and
now my face is as smooth as if
there was never a pimple on it.
'Signed) Albert Greenburg, 4167

tion and household remedy for;

"He refuses to talk to the report
ers.”
That was the answer given Tues
day when an interview was sough*
with the newest arrival at the Home
for the Friendless, a mysterious
young personage, who as yet has
vouchsafed no explanation foi^ his
presence at 10 o’clock Sunday night
on the porch at No. 205 Woodward
avenue, the home of James H. Mc-
Nesser.
The new inmate not only declines
to throw any light on his movements
Sunday night, but he as persistently
refuses to disclose his name, lie 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'hlch, 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
finding 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.

GUNN TELLS IRISH
TO STAY III HOI
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
Cathojic Church, Atlanta. In fact,
Bishop Gunn goes further, and stays
that if it w’ere 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 Fivemileton, Coun
ty of Tyrone, took occasion to refer
to the fact that on account of emi
gration Ireland was suffering. He
3aid 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 ^ w r hen our fathers have
w’on 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 ?’’
