Swinging Hammer, Also Helps

And now we are in the midst of the
crowning feature of the campaign
for the Empty Stocking Fund.
It’s that great show at the Atlanta
Theater this afternoon, of course.
The curtain was raised promptly at
2:30 o'clock on what is undoubtedly
one of the most entertaining bills
ever staged in Atlanta.
One look at the program will prove
to you that there could be no combi
nation that would give more defi
nite promise of u first-class really
enjoyable show.
Here's the whole lay-out:
Stars in Every Act.
Ellery’s Hoval Italian Band, with
Ohanning Ellery himself, and led by
Taddo Di Girolamo, with solo num
bers by Thomas Wallace, tenor, and
Bayne Young, baritone, in the over
ture from Wagm-’s “Tannhauser.”
Clay’s “I’ll Sing Thee Songs of Ari-
by,” and “Dio Fossilise,” from Gou-
.nod’s “Faust.”
Australian Boy Scouts
Aurlemn.
Doll- auction, Forrest Adair, auc
tioneer; John Temple Graves, “in
troducer.” Dolls dressed by Mrs.
Robert F. Maddox, Joseph
Rhodes, Mrs. William Speer, Mn.
George M. McKenzie and Mrs. Wilmer
L. Moore.
House and Francis, tumbling team,
from the Atlanta Athletic Club.
Yvette, violiniste.
Wilton Lackaye and Rose 'oghlam
of “Fine Feathers." in inimitable
monologues.
Can you beat It?
Why. of course you > un'i. It wouM
be hardly possible to select an equal
• number of acts that would be as pro
ductive of as much solid enjoyment
as that bunch promises.
And after you’ve given up trying
to figure out a better combination —
SALE BEGINS
SEMI-ANNUAL SUIT-END
think of what the show means; think
of the spirit that prompts the stage
folk and the local folk who are sac
rificing their own personal interests
to appear.
That's the big thing, after all—that
of DOING SOMETHING for
spirit
those who can not do anything fir
themselves, and that is the spirit that
is going to \ake Yvette and Robert
Edeson and Forrest Adair and all the
others put a vim and go into their
work that will make it better than
anything they’ve ever done.
And they've made a lot of sacrifices
to go to the Atlanta Theater either
after or before their acts at the other
playhouses anti Go their afternoon’s
work all over again—just because
there are a lot of little kiddies in
Atlanta who want old Santa Claus to
visit them. If the Christmas Editor
had to pay these people their salaries
they'd ordinarily get for the after-*
noon’s work, he’ throw up his hands
and quit it would take more than the
entire fund ever will amount to.
But they're doing it all for noth
ing!
Do you think for a moment that if
anyone had walked up to Mr Ellery,
or Mr. Lackaye. and asked him to
do his afternoons work over again
just because somebody wanted to put
on a show that he would have done
around the heart—{hey volunteered,
so quickly and enthusiastically that
the show was planned in about fif
teen minutes.
For they knew that they would get
more than the thanks of the Christ
mas Editor.
They knew that they wbuld get
something they could get in no other
way—the knowledge that they had
DONE SOMETHING to keep some
little boy or girl from facing the ter
rible tragedy of the empty stocking."
that they would awake Christmas
morning with a warm glow in their
hearts, and the happy thought that
through them some child clasped a
toy or doll to its breast and breathed
a prayer of thanksgiving to old Santa
Claus.
And that knowledge and that feel
ing are worth more than all the
money in the world!
So is it not decidedly up» to YOU to
get your ticket and take your place
in the ranks of those who are doing
something for Atlanta kiddies?
And even with that idea out of th*
way the show is worth while. You
know, without any unnecessary elab
oration. that it’s the best show taht’s
been in Atlanta in years.
And now. supposing that for some
reason you did not get a ticket and
[that you miss the show—you can stiil
Ido something. Take the price of the
ticket you didn’t get and mail it to
the Christmas Editor of The Geor
gian or Sunday American, and ask
him to put. it in the Empty Stocking
Fund.
Then you’ll be doing something,
even though you’ll have missed the
joy of the show.
