Y.. was turned over to District Attor ney Whitman to-day. Typewriters rented 4 mos., i $5 up. Am. Wtg. Mach. Co. 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 spirit of DOING SOMETHING for those who can not do anything f >r themselves, and that is the spirit that is going to lake Yvette and Robert Edeson and Forrest Adair and all tne others put a vim and go into their work that will make it bet or than anything they’ve ever done. And they've made a lot of sacrific 3 to go to the Atlanta Theater either after or before their acts at the other playhouses -and « o 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 v ill 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 afternoon's work over again just because somebody wanted to put on a show that he would have done It? Not in a million years. Certain They Would Be Repaid. But when the Christmas Editor asked them to appear and toid them they wouldn't get a nickel of the box receipts not even cab fare; that all they would get would be the thanks of the ('hristrnas Editor and a glow around the heart—they 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 would get something they could get in no other • way—the knowledge that they had j 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 .1 toy or doll to Its breast and breathed n. 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 thj 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 sttil do something. Take the price of Cie 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. Wilton Jellico Coal $5.00 PER TON The Jellico Coal Co, 82 PEACHTREE ST. Atlanta Phone 3668 Bell Phone Ivy 1585 MR.
