the argument that his experience is
greatly needed by the commission

resignation, have had their effect.

SLEUTh' PLAY
Support in 'Argyle Case' Is Splen
did, and Majority of Lines
Carry a ‘Punch.'
By TARLETON COLLIER
Hail the apotheosis of the detec
tive! Nowadays he becomes the
modem knight, rescuing the oppress
ed maiden, swatting the oppressor,
and then marrying the lady In ques
tion. all in true Ivanhoe style. And
being a detective would he rather de
sirable, if women were not so rasp-
inglv neurotic.
These are one or two of the Im
pressions that come to von as you
watch Robert Hilliard and the others
in "The Argyle I'Hse," which opened
at Hie Atlanta Monday night. There
are other impressions, too, but you!
received them so long ago from t he j
ten thousand detective stories that
they nui v be trite -that the police de
tective Is not only fallible, but bun-'
gling; that a true hero can face the
gun of an infuriated villain, and dare
him to shoot, and all those things
But the firmest Impression you re
ceive is that here is a play with ev
ery line written to convey a delib
erate punch. The general effect is
an up flagging interest that is at
times, and very often, thrilling. It
is melodrama, but a not unreason
able melodrama, even for a detective-
crook play.
And it must afford soul-satisfaction
to u bunch of actors to realize that
they have a part in a drama like "The
Argyle Case," in which everybody
has at least one great moment and
comes in for one hearty' hand of ap
plause. At least, it Is satisfying to
the audietue that they should see a
cast In which every individual de
serves the applause he gets. Robert
Hilliard and his supporting company
are a group w'oll balanced as to abil
ity and are uniformly as capable as
any actors that And their way into
these parts.
Robert Hilliard himself leaves little
to be desired In 1 * interpretation of
the not too fanciful part « t the ultra-
new detective, who out-Burr" Burns,
who hobnobs with those high in sta

ter of the situation. He is known to
Atlanta, having appeared in "A Fool
There Was” three seasons ago.
There was an uncomfortably large
amount of neurasthenia written in’o
the lines of the women in the play,
and they w ere called upon to shriek and
sol) and fidget. Hov/ev . superb our
masterful detectives might be, their
roles were no’ nearly so difficult as
those of the women. And, very hap-

derer in the case; Gustav Von Self-

good company'whose work pleased.
"The Argyle Case” will be at
Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Wednesday matinee.
Lyric Has Drama
With Strong Appeal.
Virtues persecution and vindica
tion forms the basis of the play of
fered at the Lyric fer the week, "The
Butterfly on the Wheel." The play
ia one with an essentially modern ap
peal. It hardly Is to be relegated t'»
the class of the problem play; nor is
it a melodrama. But there is a aolK.
Ity about It that is en‘ertaining, and
n number of situations that call * >:
capable acting.
Eleanor Montell, as Peggy Ad-
maston, the innocent young wife wh j
Is forced to a divorce trial by a sus
picious husband, met the demands of
a most exacting part. Charles Der-
rar, as Roderick Oolllngwood. th*
former lover who forced the ingenu
ous Mrs. Admaston into her marital
plight, was good, and Horae* Cooper,
in the comedy part Lord Eller-
dine. a typical, but not conventiona.
Englishman, was e .iily the best of
the male cast.
The play has for itsgrea scene the
divorce court In which Mrs. Admaston
is forced to defend herself, in her im
potent way. against the damning ev -
dence that has been brought in favor
of frer husband's suit. The plimax
is powerful, wh»re the butterfly wom

Good Melodrama
Offered Bijou Patrons.
A crowded house greeted the Jewell
Kelley Company In "Over the Sea" at
the Bijou Monday night. The play is
a lipping good melodrama, full of ac

was the signal for applause. The au

Miss Rose Morris, in the part of a
street urchin, was excellent. Earl

MAYQB OF
MACON, Dec. 9.—A majority of
the members of City Council propose
to-night to divest the Mayor of the
power the office has had for 75 years
to appoint the firemen and policemen.
The present Mayor, Bridges Smith,
represents one faction in local poli
tics and ten of the Aldermen repre
sent another faction. The flreroen
and policemen, now on the payrolls,
w ere put in office by the party' repre
sented by Mr. Smith, and the Aider-
men seek to remove them and give
the jobs to some of their own political
friends. It takes seven votes to pass
the ordinance v and eight to pass it
over the Mayor’s veto. Eight of the
Aldermen have declared in favor of It.
The ordinance provides that the
chiefs of the police and Are depart
ments, who are elected by' Council,
shall appoint the members of the two
forces, subject to the confirmation of
Council.
