Call us. CARROLL & HUNTER. 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 a first-class really enjoyable show. Here’s the whole lay-out: Stars in Every Act. Ellery’s Royal Italian Band, with Ohannlng 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 Wagn* ”’s “Tannhauser.” Clay’s “I’ll Bing Thee Songs of A ru by,” and “Dio Possinte,” from Gou nod's “Faust.” Australian Boy Scouts A uriema. Doll auction. Forrest Adair, auc tioneer. John Temple Graves, "in- troducer.” Dolls dressed by Mrs. Robert F. Maddox, Mrs. Josepn Rhodes, Mrs. William Speer, Mrs. George M McKenzie and Mrs. Wilmer L. M oore. House and Francis, tumbling team, from the Atlanta Athletic Club. Yvette, violiniste. Wilton Lackaye and Rose ’oghlan, of “Fine Feathers," in inimitable monologues. *'an you beat it? Why, of course you can't. It wouhl be hardly possible to select an equal number of acts that would be as pro ductive of as much solid enjoy men; as that bunch promises. And after you’ve given up trying to figure out a better combination--- ir ■ • - ■ t A* SEMI-ANNUAL SUIT-END SALE BEGINS think of what the show means; think of the spirit that prompts the stage folk and the local folk who are sa - rifleing their own personal interesis 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 take Yvette and Robert Edeson and Forrest Adair and all tm others put a vim and go into their work that will make it bet er than anything they’ve ever done And they've made a lot of aicriflc » to go to the Atlanta Theater either after or before their acts at the other playhouses anti to 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 to.d 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 Christmas Editor and a glow c $5 $6 $8 $10 TROUSERS on sale to-day. Ends left from 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 Chrisi- 1 mas Editor. i They knew that they would get something they could get in no other i wa> the knowledge that they had 1 done something to keep some I little boy or girl from facing the ter- j l ible tragedy of the empty stocking, | that they would awake Christmas 'morning with a warm glow in tlwir | hearts, and the happy thought that through tt^em some child clasped i : toy or doll to its breast and breathe*] I n praver of thanksgiving to old Sant i I Claus' i Vnd that knowledge and that fe^i- j 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 arc doing i something for Atlanta kiddles? i And even with that idea out of th* j way the show' is worth while. You : Know, without any unneccssarv elab oration. that It’s the best show taht’s j been in Atlanta in years. And now. supposing that for some ‘reason you did not get a ticket and j that you miss the show—you can still do something. Take the price of :no ticket you didn’t get and mail it tu the Christmas Editor of The Geor gian or Sunday American, and ask him to pul it in the Empty Stocking Fund. Then you’ll be dome" something, even though you’ll have missed the joy of the show.
