The audience thought so, and dis played Its feelings by demanding nu merous encores. Above all the spirit that was im pressed will cause other plans for. the Empty Stocking Fund to succeed, and Atlanta will have a happier Christmas. If all the people of means in At lanta had heard one feature on that bill there would be no want arid suf fering in the city this Christmas. Eloquent John Temple Graves struck the best note of the Atlanta spirit when he introduced Forrest Adair in a doll auction that proved to be inimitable.

The spirit with which the high- salaried artists entered into the af fair was inspiring. The bill opened with an overture by the Atlanta Theater Orchestra. Then followed Ellery’s Royal Italian Band that is playing at the Audito rium under the auspices of the Atlan ta Music Festival Association. That start assured the success of the show, and it was strengthened by solos by Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne Young, baritone. The band played the overture from Wagner's/‘Tannhauser” and the so!<« ■were Clay's "I’ll Sing Thee Songs >f Araby” and “Dio Possinte" from Gou nod’s “Faust.’' Boy Scouts Pleasing. Next came the Australian Roy Scouts from the bin at the Forsyth Theater. The act was signally appro priate for a Christmas benefit, for w il as they acted the boys were not much beyond the age of hanging up stock ings themselves. Auriema, the sensation of the “movie” theaters, came next. He did well, indeed, and in a letter to* The Georgian showed what a pleasure it was for him to appear at the matinee “I think tlie idea of a Christ mas- benefit for such a universal charity as that which will fill otherwise em j1 v FUND Dolls dressed by society women bring $37.
