New Actors for Bijou.
Few stock companies have had the
temerity to present such un elabor
ate scenic melodrama as "Nobody’s
Claim,” the play that is being so suc
cessfully presented by the Jewell Kel
ley Company this week at the Bijou.
The company has been materially
strengthened of late by the addition
of several splendid actors, and the
Jewell Kelley Company starts out on
Its fifteenth week with an excellent
cast.
Dixie Melodrama Popular.
Many years ago Bartley Campbell
gave the stage a real melodrama, with
its scenes laid in the Southland. The
play was named "The White Slave."
Year after year this attraction, has
visited Atlanta, and has always drawn j
large and appreciative audiences. This
season s production is probably one
of the best that has ever been given
and the play and the company with
out exception have been well select
ed As in years past "The White
Slave" will probably do capacity
business the entire week at the Lyric.
Good Bill at Forsyth.
The best vaudeville bill of the sea
son is this week being presented at
the Forsyth Theater Every act on

Weber show some novelty dance, and
Klein, Abe and Nicholson have a good
act In the music line. Charles and
Fannie Van have a new sketch "From
Stage Carpenter to Ackter," which
contains a lot of comedy. Miss Nor
ton and Paul Nicholson in a sketch
written by Miss Norton and what she
terms a dramatic cartoon, have a
scream of an act. The last act, which
is the headliner is Miss Orford and
her Wonderful Elephants. This is the
greatest novelty of its sort in vaude
ville Miss Orford. herself a very
fascinating little dancer, has three
elephants, who have been wonderful
ly trained, doing all manner of stunts
thought impossible for these huge
beasts.

Oglethorpe Campaign Committee
Largely Devoting Work to Re
newing Old Subscriptions.
The Oglethorpe campaign commit
tee started work Wednesday morning
with the knowledge that more than
10 per rent of the total requisite
amount has been raised $26,177,
which mark was reached by the time
for the regular noonday luncheon
Tuesday at the Piedmont Hotel, where
the various committees reported
$7,277 as their mornings work.
The largest individual subscriptions
were made by John W. Grant and
John F. Kiser, who each gave $1,000
The work of the committees at
present is being done principally on
the list of former subscriptions made
years ago to an old university proj
ect that was not carried out. Reports
on these former subscribers varied
widely . Some workers said they were-
finding a good deal of trouble in
clearing up misconceptions among the
former subscribers as to the present
plan, while others found them ready
and eager to give to the cause. Sev
eral committees reported that they
had not met with a single refusal,
and that many’ subscribers were in
creasing, and in some cases doubling
their first subscription.
After the old list has been thor
oughly canvassed the city is to be
divided Into territorial sections, one
of which will he assigned to each
committee, so that practically every
one in Atlanta may be given an op
portunity to subscribe to the Ogle
thorpe fund.
"A widespread and really public in
terest in this great plan is what we
are seeking." said Ivan E. Allen,
chairman of the campaign committee,
"and the subscriptions of $10, $lf>,
$25 and upwards are tributes to the
way in which the proposition is tak
ing hold of the whole city.”
It was repeated at the luncheon
meeting Tuesday that Atlanta was,
ip a measure, on parade in the matter
of the campaign.
"Houston and Memphis are watch
ing this campaign with interest." one
worker stated, "and if Atlanta doesn’t
take advantage of this chance one of
them will—and there are other cities,
too, that are awaiting with Interest
the outcome of this matter."
Whole South Watches
Oglethorpe Campaign.
Rev. Dr. Walter L Ungle. former
pastor of the First Fresbyterian
Church of Atlanta, and now of me
Union Theological Seminary of Rich
mond. Va.. writes that he is tremen
dously interested in the establishment
of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta,
and has every faith in Atlanta doing
her full share nobly.
"I hope that you are going to have
a great campaign. I am deeply in
terested and want to see you win in
record time. God bless you in this
wonderful undertaking. We must not
and can not fail.”
David Hannah, a capitalist and
large realty operator of Houston.
Texas, subscribed $1,000 gladly, and
he writes Dr. Jacobs:
"I have been watching with muon
interest the steady advance toward
success of the re-establishment of
Oglethorpe University in your city.
It seems to me. however, that you
have been too modest in asking your
city to subscribe the amount of only
$250,000. As a pure business prop
osition the establishment of such .in
Institution would be worth many
times this amount to the merchants
alone, from the very date it Is opened.
1 feel that the task of raising su h
a small amount should be an easy
one in a city so public spirited as
yours.”

CLEVELAND, T>ec. 3.— "Perpetual

his departure to bask in the bright
sunlight
"If scientists could solve the prob

it would raise ihe moral standard of
men." he explained. "Dull days breed

Atlanta Schools for Little Ones
Display Methods — Moving
Pictures Given.
An exhibit of kindergarten work as
it is handled in Atlanta is proving
a leading feature of the Child Wel
fare exhibit at the Leyden House. Ev
ery kindergarten in Atlanta has been
assigned a certain time in which to
give an illustration of Its work.
One kindergarten will make its il
lustration in the morning and the
other in the afternoon each day of
the exhibit until the public has had
the opportunity of observing the
work of all.
At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
there was an exhibition by the Mary
Raoul Kindergarten with Miss Mabel
Lovelace in charge, while the Cornelia
Moore Cay Nursery Kindergarten,
with Miss Parks in charge, gives an
exhibition in the afternoon.
Great interest was taken Tuesday
in the display of the work of the
Ashby Street School, where Atlanta’s
deaf children receive their training.
Children Revel in Library.
After the exhibition the children
were accorded the privilege of the
model child’s library. which Miss
Wooten, of the Carnegie Library, ar
ranged for the exhibit.
The Georgia Children's Home So

is attracting unusual attention. The
work of this society has increased
greatly during the last year.

children and containing instructions
relative to the proper care of them

which demonstrated the work of the
Antt-Tuberculosis Association.
"The Real and Right Way to Wash
Baby” is the Interesting exhibit of the
Octagon Club, which is in charge
of the Atlanta Registered Nurses.
This exhibit probably aroused as
much interest as any other feature of
the work, a large number of mothers
proving great questioners.
The "Old-Fashioned Women” show,
which is also an illustration of how
baby should be w’ashed, proved equal
ly interesting.
The kindergarten program for
Thursday is the Fortress Avenue Kin
dergarten in the morning and Miss
Bingham's Kindergarten in the after
noon.
Friday morning the Nellie Peters
Black Kindergarten, Friday afternoon
Miss Jennie Dargan’s Private Kin
dergarten. Saturday the First Pres
