Phone Ivy 2975. 410 Empire Life Building. Doll Auction, With Forrest Adair Swinging Hammer, Also Helps Fill Empty Stockings. 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.
