CHRISTMAS FUND BENEFIT AT ATLANTA THEATER FRIDAY
[
Legislative Committee Investi
gates Chattanooga Terminals.
Southern Amflous to Lease.
Members of the Western and At
lantic Railroad Commission of the
State Legislature are in Chattanooga
Thursday investigating the Chatta
nooga terminals and other Tennes-
see property of the State road, fol-
owing a meeting held in the State
t’apitol Wednesday.
It virtuaJly was decided at Wed
nesday’s mooting that whatever road
is given the control of the Western
and Atlantic will be required to dou
ble track the lino from Atlanta to
Chattanooga, and that in order to se
cure this Improvement the lease will
have to run for a longer period than
heretofore.
Whether this arrangement will
meet with the approval of the Nash
ville. Chattanooga and St, Louis, the
present leasee of the road, and which,
it is understood, desires a renewal, is
not known.
Southern Anxious to Lease.
It is generally understood, however,
that the Southern is anxious to lease
the line and is willing to double track
the road on condition that the lease
run for a long term of years.
The commission has not yet been
able to obtain any definite figures on
the cost of double tracking the road.
Chairman Gun by Jordan presented a
letter from Vice President H. D
Spencer, of the Southern Railway,
who stated that the cost of the im
provement could hardly be estimated
successfully until a survey and report
had been made by a competent engi
neer. Mr. Spencer, however, stated
•wit the last double tracking the
Southern system did, from Chatta
nooga to Meridian. Miss., cost $30,000
a mile, while the cost of double track-
ine the line from Atlanta to Gaines
ville ran from $20,000 to $80,000 oer
mile.
Based on these figures, rhout $50,-
000 a mile is considered a fair aver
age for the cost of double tracking
the Western and Atlantic.
Possibility of Sale Suqqestion.
Mr. Jordan told the other members
of the commission that certain ques
tions should be asked any road that
applies for a lease of the State line,
which indicates the possibility of the
< ommission recommending the sale of
The property when it makes its report
lo the Legislature.
The roa<\s, he declared, should be
asked how much they are willing to
pay for the right of way, how much
they will pay for the road with the
properties not necessary for the op
eration of the road taken out. and also
how much they will be willing to oay
for the Atlanta terminals on the plaza
system proposed by the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
Only six members attended the
Wednesday meeting and made the
trip to Chattanooga. They were

CARROLL & HUNTER
call Ivy 595 and have them reserved
for you.
Of course, you're going. Never
miss such a chance as this.
Just look at the layout.
There’s Ellery’s Band. Couldn’t be
got into vaudeville for more thou
sands of dollars than the ordinary
high-priced acts get hundreds. And
Ellery’s Band at the Star Matinee
will be ALL of Ellery’s Band, with
ElJqy.v swinging the baton.
Band to Accompany Soloists.
Not only all the band will be there,
but the two soloists, Thomas Wai-
lace, the tenor, anu Bayne Young, the
baritone. The band will accompany
their numbers.
Then the Australian Boy Scouts,
champion boy woodsmen of the world,
from the country where the greatest
v oodsmen are reared. They’ll put on
a unts—but wait; you never have seen
anything like tha 4 . before.
And Auriema. the Impersonator;
f.nd Yvette, violiniste and headliner
fiom the Forsyth.
And then the dolls.
The idea is that John Temple
Graves, just back from the East, is
to introduce Forrest Adair, and Mr.
Aoair is to introduce the dolls. If
you’ve ever heard Mr, Graves talk, or
Mr. Adair auction, you know some
thing of what that means, though it’s
probable both of them will be a bit
above their regular speed Friday aft
ernoon.
And as to the dolls—well, their
coming-out gowns were made by Mrs.
Robert F. Maddox, Mrs. Joseph
Rhodes, Mrs William Speer, Mrs
George M. McKenzie and Mrs. Wilmer
L. Moore.
It would be superfluous to say any*
tj^fng more on that topic.
And “Fine Feathers?’’
That really deserves a chapter all
to itself; that great climax act, with
that wonderful cast, all inspired by
Georgia Railway
& Power Co.
the motive for which they are play
ing
Robert Edeson, Wilton Lackaye,
Max Figman, Lolita Robertson, Rose
Coghlan and Lydia Dickson in the
star roles of one of the greatest and
most gripping dramas of the century.
Take it all ’round, you know ail the
old stuff about the greatest show ever
g&thered under • one canvas bigger
and better than ever—all that sort of
thing?
Well, this is IT!
You won’t get another chance to
see a show like this; they don’t have
such shows ordinarily. But this isn’t
an ordinary occasion.
Don’t Miss It!
So, whatever you do, don’t miss
that show Friday afternoon.
There are several excellent reasons
v. hy you should see that show. First,
It will be a great show; second, you
arc bound to have a good time; third,
practically everybody you know will
be there, and will ask you about it
next day'.
And fourth, fifth, sixth—ad infini
tum—it’s for the Empty Stocking
Fund; for the kids; to prove that the
Atlanta spirit includes the Christmas
spirit, among a lot of other good
things.
It might be a good’ idea to try go
ing to a really good show once, and
enjoying it thoroughly against a com
fort ing background that you really
i'if DOING SOME GOOD by going.
For there is to be another show
Christmas morning, and it depends a
good deal on you whether it is to be a
l oppy, joyous comedy, or a heart
breaking tragedy.
That is to say, will those stocking*
bo full < ’hristmas morning -or emp
ty ?
