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 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 long
darkened showhouse.
Everything considered, it was quite
an auspicious awakening. Miss Bunt
ing’s usual meed from the Atlanta
public, a crowded house, was there.
The theater itself was as gay of color
as ever. The orchestra was energetic
enough to set the whole house to pat
ting feet and to knowing that thi9
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 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
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 Bunting, as you naturally have
guessed from what you know of Miss
Bunting, was the tomboy American
girl, unaffected and unashamed of her
father, who made his start tending
bar, and who confessed that fact even
in the face of the shocked noblemai
who wanted 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.

■ITELLS IRISH
T! SHI IT HUE
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. Bi?*hop of Natchez,
former pastor of Sacred Heart
Catholic Church, Atlanta. In fact,
Bishop Gunn goes further, and stays
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 Fivemileton, 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
11 possess its soil. Now the Irish
; cople have fixity and ownership ano
instead of enjoying their own they
hurry to the steeraere 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 Ainnlng sore,
this natural dry rot, sapping, ruin
ing, destroying the brain and the
brawn of the country, be not
stopped?”

Judge Starts War on
Nashville's Saloons
NASHVILLE, Sept. 2.—Criminal
Judge Neil, an original appointee of
ex-Governor Patterson, has charg
ed the new Grand Jury to return in
dictments for violation of the four-
mile liquor law that has been disre
garded since the State-wide prohibi
tion statute was’enacted in 1909. The
order means the closing of the Nash
ville saloons.
The saloon men have lined up in the
city election for Mayor Howse, who,
it is charged, a few weeks ago caused
the arrest of Governor Patterson in a
house in the restricted district. Judge
Neil’s charge has stampeded the sa
loon men and gamblers.
Lies in Jail Rather
Than Put Up Bond
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—John D. Cam
eron, a wealthy official of the In
ternational Harvester Company, ap
peared In Municipal Court to-day to
answer a charge of not having a tail-
light on his automobile. Cameron
spent fourteen hours in jail, refusing
to sign a bail bond for himself.
“It was not that I was afraid the
bond would be forfeited and I would
lose some money, but it was on ac
count of the principle of the thing
that I remained in jail,” said Came
ron.

Lakewood bade farewell to Captain
Ben Schlomberg Tuesday. He will
spend Wednesday at his home in
Jonesboro. When the Lusitania sails
for New York at the end of the week,
he will be its passenger, bound for a
try at swimming the English Chan
nel—and Just one try, he says.
“ ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again.’ {hey used to tell me,” says
Captain Schlomberg. “but this is cm3
time it doesn’t apply. I shall pidk .%
day when things look good and when
feel just right, and dive into the
brine at Dover. I’ll use the last ounce
of my strength. If I succeed—fine!
If I do not—well, that ends It.”
Evrything, he believes, favors his
chances.
Swimmer Is Right Physically.
"I am in the best trim,” he de
clared Tuesday. “When the season
began here, I weighed 154 pounds and
measured 28 inches around the waist.
That’s too thin for a swimmer 5 feet
8 1-2 inches tall. 1 went on a milk
and cracker diet for nine weeks. It
put eight pounds on me and increased
my waist measure three inches. Now
I’m as near right as I ever wiP be,
physically.
“Scientists have proved that be
tween September 4 and September 28
the waters of the channel are warm
est. Captain Webb swam it on Sep
tember 9: Burgess made it September
6. I'll be there* a little later when
conditions are supposed to be at their
best.
"After all, it’s bound to be part
luck. The weather will make all the
difference in the world. I hope luck’s
with me.”
Interested in Brown’s Feat.
Captain Schlomberg was much In
terested in the achievement of Cap
tain Alfred Brown, who swam from
the Battery to Sandy Hook, New
York, August 29 a feat often at
tempted but never before accom
plished* The distance is 22 mile3,
about the same as across the chan
nel, and the tides are supposed to bs
as hard to combat.
"I wanted to try that,” said Cap
tain Schlomberg, “but he beat me M
it.”
“What if you fail .> cross the chan
nel?” he was asked
“There still are some swims thar
never have been made—Key West to
Havana, for instance. I’ll try that
next.”

Enthusiasm Is Running High
In Pedalmobile Contest
“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
•them! Howjnany are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, hut in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined ,to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All those cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of 0. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, he sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.

lars will be mailed you at once.
