and added another $1,000 in order that
br. James I. Vance, a well-known
Presby terian, minister of Nashville,
might; be placed on the board of trus-
jeer. He \.vas in Birmingham when
lie read, of the great campaign in At

fer his services in raising the re

The ■‘luncheon meeting .Monday was
the largest the campaign ha^- pro- i
tluced thus far. Fifty workers were I
present, and additional tables had to
be brought in.

The Christmas Editor announces
two new features to-day for a bill
that has never been equalled in its

Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne
Young, baritone of the famous Ellery

the musical world over; Ellery being

of unusual quality and have won high
praise from the most discerning crit

vaudeville they would be a high-
priced feature, indeed.

And the other new feature is of the
kind no good vaudeville bill would be
complete without—an acrobatic stunt.
House and Francis, drack tumblers of
Atlanta Athletic Club, and as clever
as they make 'em. have kindly con

Well, the Cricket Club is just such
a jolly, happy, cheery little hunch of
Little Women.

they should decide to get into this
big, fine Christmas game and fill a

These are one or - two of the im-

watch Robert Hilliard and the others
in "The Argyle Case," which opened
at the Atlanta Monday night There
are other impressions, too. but you
received them so long ago from the
' ten thousand detective stories that
they mav he trite that the police de
tective is not only fallible, but bun
gling: that a true hero < an face tire
1 gun of an infuriated villain, and dare
him to shoot, and all those tilings
But the firmest impression you re
I oeive is that here is a play with' ev-
j cry line written to convey a delib-
| erate punch. The general effect is
an unflagging interest that is a;
| times and very often, thrilling. It
I is melodrama, but a not unreason
able melodrama, even for « detective-
j crook play.
And it must afford soul-satisfaction
j to a bunch of actors to realize that
| they have a part in a drama like "The
Argyle Case." in which everybody
l has at least one great moment and
| comes in for one hearty hand of ap
plause. At least, it is satisfying to
i the audience that they should see a
j cast in which every individual da
serves the applause he gets. Robert
i Hilliard and his supporting company
are a group well balanced as to abil
ity and are uniformly as < arable aa

Yvette Hit of
Forsyth’s Bill.
A young woman with a head of
paroxysmal red haid and a rubber
ball energy became the, sensation of
the week’s bill at the Forsyth, the
moment she stepped onto a darkened
stage and began to play a ghostly
white violin.
I must be admitted that Yvette's
methods could hardly fail of creating
the desired sensation. From a tanta-
lizingly remote position in the center
of the iheater you gained the sus
picion that her nether limbs. a goodly
portion of which protruded through
a slit skirt, were naively bate of
hosiery of any sort. And Yvette's
dancing—well, there were some of
the audience who were uneasily aware
that this was not the conventional
thing. The act scored a Uemendous
hit—the biggest of the season with
out a question
The young woman handles the
violin adeptly—rather than artistical-'
lv. however—and sings plaintively
w ith it. Her work carries a pec uliar-
ly effective appeal that won her a
genuine ovation.
