The Christmas Editor announces two new features to-day for a bill that has never been equalled in its entertaining qualities and that money couldn't get together Here they are; Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne Young, baritone of the famous Ellery j Band. ao"<unpaniej by Leader Ellery himself. These three men are known the musical world over; Ellery being famous as the leader of a band that is acclaimed the most artistically fin ished in its work of any in the coun try Wallace and Young have voices of unusual quality and have won high praise from the most discerning crit ics. and if this trio ever entered vaudeville they would be a high- priced feature, indeed. Crack Tumblers Volunteer. And the other new feature is of the kind no good vaudeville bill would be complete without—an acrobatic stunt.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Miss Jessie May O’Neal. She is 11 years old and president of the Cricket Club, the most youthful feminine organiza tion in all the Georgia Federation. The Cricket t’lub does not play cricket The cricket Club is a cheery little dub of Little Women. You know how cheery a cricket can be when he gets himself properly wound up and singing in a key that would make the top notes of Signor Caruso sound bull froggy by contrast. Well, the Cricket Club is just such a jolly, happy, cheery little hunch of Little Women. So what is more natural than thai they should decide to get into this big, fine Christmas game and fill a lot of empty stockings for some other Little Women, and some Little Men. too, that have neither had their streak of luck in this world. nor learned the hard old • philosophy of grin and bear it” Well, glory be! they won't HAVE to learn anything like that this Christmas. The Tattle Women of the Cricket Club, and their fathers, and their mothers, and their sisters, and their cousins, and their aunts—and a whole lo» of bachelor uncles, too— are going to tend to that Empty Stocking thing And THAT’S a comfort. All right.

Nowadays he becomes the modern knight, rescuing the oppress ed maiden, swatting the oppressor, land then marrying the lady in vines lion, all in true Ivanhoe stvie. And being a detective would be rather de sirable, if women were not so rnsp- ! ingly neurotic. These are one or - two of the im- ! pressions that come to you ■>.«• »oil 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 any actors that find their way into these parts Robert Hilliard himself leaves little to be desir?d in ! is interpretation of the not too fanciful part of the ultra- new defective, who out-Burr* Burn.-, who hobnobs with those high in sta tion and who is at all limes the mas ter of the situation He is known to Atlanta, having appeared in "A Fool There Was” three seasons ago There w as an uncomfortably 'are;- amount cf neurasthenia written in’ > the lines of the women in the p:.i and they w ere called upon to shriek and sob and fidget.

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. The house laughed at the Nichols I Sisters Monday, with their act 'I Kentucky Belles."
