Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, pastor of <‘en- [Work will be conducted here this
tral Baptist Church, arrived Wednes- | week in an effort to get many ha-
dav from Athens, where for the last j bitual non-churchgoers out
ten days he has been engaged In a
great revival in the Tabernacle Bap
tist Church. He will speak at the
mid-week prayer service Wednesday
night and at both services Sunday.
The people of Athens urged Dr.
Ridley to continue the revival
throughout the week, hut he declined,
stating that ite felt it his duty to oc
cupy his own pulpit on next Sunday,
which has been set aside by all the
churches of Atlanta as “Go-to-Church
Day/*
Every possible effort has been put
forth by the Central Church to make
the occasion a great success, and 1t
is expected that the building will be |
taxed to its utmost capacity at both
to re
liglous services next Sunday.
"Rev. F. K. Sims, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, speak** of tin*
movement as an ideal one. He says:
'if we can get those who have not
been attending church services to be
present next Sunday, wo can show
them how easy it 1h to attend. Then,
by making the services specially in
teresting, we can get them to attend
regularly.' "
“Rev. W. R. Foote, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, and Rev. i;
B. Farrar, pastor of the Second Bap
tist Church, are others who are heart

The English melodrama “Over the
Sea," this week’s offering of the
Jewell Kelley company at the Bi
jou, is attracting large and enthusi
astic audiences. Differing in style |
from most of Hie melodramas that
have been offered by the company,
the play Is doubly interesting, and
the costumes, as well as the scenes
of the play, add to the interest of
the production. The company an
nounces 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 i?
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
Miss Montell herself Is scoring .«
splendid hit. The stage production
is complete and the performance \£
really one of the most entertaining
of the season. “The Butterfly on th*
Wheel” should do excellent business

Atlanta. ller whirlwind dancing in
connection with her playing ami a
wonderful voice 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 merltorlus.
