Concerted Action Put Forth.
Tlie campaign methods of the Kev.
Mr. Lino and tin* Rev. Mr. Collins are
merely examples of what is going on
all over the city in the concerted ef-
iort to bring about a striking demon
stration of the strength of religion
and the church in Atlanta.
Pastors, have preached sermons on
the movement and what it means to
the growth of tlie church and a re
vived interest in religious things;
they have made repeated announce
ments of the date and extended re
peated and insistent invitations from
their pulpits, in addition, they have
appointed committees to issue j>er-
sonal invitations to every one on the
membership rolls and to others not
affiliated with any church.
Most of the ministers have devoted
a great deal of their time toward
making the day one of the greatest in
tin* life of the church here. Ho great
have been the indications of a mag
nificent success that they already are
contemplating the inauguration of a
State wide movement for next year.
Suggestions for Ministers.
Here are some suggestions to tlie
ministers, compliance with which will
facilitate the compilation of the fig
ures on the Go-to-Church l>ay at
tendance :
Have a thorough count made of
your congregations at morning and
evening service next Sunday.
Enter tiie total figures on one of
the return post cards that have been
sent all the churches in the city.
Mail immediately after evening ser
vices.

Lackaye Makes Best Showing of
All-Star Cast—Some Have
Superfluous Parts.
■ Fine Feathers,” tlie much her
alded, was wen fr the lirEt time in At
lanta Thursday night, and the pro
duction of the gloom-ridden play
lived up fully to the enthusiastic
trumpetingH which preceded it.
The acting is better than the play.
That’s not an original comment.
Nearly every member of the big audi
ence which filed out of the Atlanta
Theater Thursday night made the re
mark. in some form.
"Fine Feathers." like many another
play of recent years, deals with the
tragedy resultant upon mad efforts
of the salaried man and his wife to
catch stride with the rich.
Not a new theme, but handled with
a "punch."
Wilton Lac kayo’s work is a little
sermon In restraint, which is the
well-spring of taste Huw villain-
esaue he might have been, and how
convincing he was, giv<* rise to ad
miration. Mr. Lackaye gives easily
the most artistic performance of any
in an "all-star" cast.
To descend from art to frivolities,
Mr. Lackaye seems also to be in keen
rivalry for John Drew’s sartorial lau
rels.
Florence Rockwell, who alternates
with Lolita. Robertson in the role,
Thursday night appeared as Mrs.
Reynolds, th* wife whose perceptions
of right and wrong are beclouded by
her desire for wealth. She was a lit
tle nervous, but is a good actress.
1 nevertheless, an*
j qualification.
Lydia Dickson appeared
beautiful —without
Frieda,
| the maid. "Frieda" has been built up
I into a consideraoie role (goodness
| knows some comedy is welcome in
I this depressing play), and Miss Dick
son’s work was thoroughly appre
ciated, both for Itself and also be
cause the audience, its nerves taut,
welcomed the chance to laugh.
Rose Coghlan was splendid in a
role that does not do her Justice. Max
Figman, in the earlier scenes, was not
at his ease. The imaginative con
jectured some hitch in tilings "off
stage." which may huw* been, after
all. Just imagination. His was a su
perfluous role at best, having little
to do with the action «*f the play.
He made a breezy newspaper man,
but was never quite in the picture
Robert Edeson is very much the
same.
"I liked him so much in 'Strong-
heart,’” gushed one pretty young
thing as the curtain fell—and her
emphasis was on "Strongheart."

Emma Bunting Coming.
Ji is a positive pleasure to announce
the return engagement of little Emma
Bunting next week at the Lyric. In
the selection of next week’s play Miss
Bunting certainly has been most for
tunate, as in the title role of the
"Girl from Out Yonder," the part of
Flotsam must have been written es
pecially for Miss Bunting, so well
does she fit the role. In New Or
leans recently Miss Bunting scored an
immense success. The advance sale
for the week began Thursday after
noon with an immense rush.
Eleanor Montell Scores.

theatergoers, Eleanor Montell during

Rodgers tripled the longest continuous flight in the

by the trip, the actual flying time tor the
4,231 miles covered was 4,924 minutes. The
longest single flight was 133 miles through
