could very well be extended in its

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
AND BE BETTER FOR IT
Atlaula is to have the first “Go-to-Church Day” in its his
tory next Sunday.
If you arc otic of those loyal people who attend Church' 1
services regularly rain or shine then you will be Ihere next
Sunday as usual
But this is addressed particularly to the irregular church- j
goers and to those who possibly haven 't heeri inside their church
for the last six months or a year.
Do yourself, your church and your city a benefit next Sun
day by celebrating “Go-to-Chureh Day."
The observance of the day is very simple. All one has to
do is to attend the morning and evening services, adding his
presence to the record-breaking throng that will he out.
You may get haek into the habit of attending church regu- <
larl.v if you go next Sunday and become infected with the joy
ousness and enthusiasm of the big congregations. You will feel '
better for it if you do.
I.eaving aside the personal feature, you will add to the
attendance of your church, and you will help swell the grand
total of the attendance for the whole city of Atlanta a total
that is expected 1o eclipse every other record ever set in a city
of this si/e.
The ministers and the laity are determined to make next
Sunday epochal. Help them do it.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
“Over the Sea” Winning.
The English melodrama "Over 111#*
Sea," this week's offering of the
Jewell Kelley company at the Bi
jou. is attracting large and enthusi
ast if* audiences. Differing in style
from most of the melodrama* thit
have been offered by the company,
the play 1* doubly interesting, and
the costumes, as well as the scenes
of the play, add to the interest • >f
tin* production. The company an
nounce* for next week one of the
strongest American melodrama \
“The Denver Express.” a play that
will doubtless prove one of the most
popular In the company’s repertoire.
“Butterfly on the Wheel.”
Few' plays that have been offered
at the Lyric this season are so in
tensely Interesting as "The Butter
fly on the Wheel” that is scoring a
well deserved hit this week at the
Carnegie way theater. The story .s
one that teaches a strong lesson,
and during its long run in New
York received the unqualified in
dorsement of press and public. The
company, headed by Miss Eleanor
Montell, Is a most capable one and
Mis* Montell herself is scoring t
splendid hit. The stage production
is complete and the performance is
really on** of the most entertaining
of the, season. “The Butterfly on th*
Wheel” should do excellent business
this we»*k.
Yvette, Whirlwind, at Forsyth.
Yvette, a second Eva Tanguay, ex
cept that this one is an adept artist
on tin* violin, is appearing at the
Forsyth this week. This young lady
of eccentric qualities in meeting with
one of the biggest successes that any
single artist has ever met with in
Atlanta. Her whirlwind dancing in
connection with her playing and a
wonderful voi6e also all help to make
this an act of worth-while merit. The
Australian Boy Scouts exhibit drills,
blanket throwing and the manipula
tion of rifles in a very clever fashion,
and there Is a great deal of interest
inasmuch as this is one of the Scout
organizations. The Nichols Sisters
entertain in a lively way, and the
other acts are meritorius

and flames were shooting out from
the walls.
Brown <dosed the door to prevent
ah getting to the fire, and imme
diately called the fire department.
When the firemen arrived the house
was full of smoke. Hose from the
chemical tanks was run into the
building, and the fire was extin
guished.
The fire attracted considerable at
tention among the morning throngs
on Peachtree street, and several hun

contents, and most of their work was
directed toward preventing the flames
from spreading to surrounding build
