ted to them In the big hall.
Despite the capacity of the Audito
rium, It Is expected that there will be
an overflow audience. time ago,
when th? Interest In the movement
became general among the churches,
It was decided not to follow the tlm<*
honored custom in big mass meetings
-that of “going forward” as Individ
uals with the offering—on account of
the crowd that would surely make
such a plan impracticable.
The committee on ushers, there
fore, has taken up the matter and as
signed a capable force to pass among
the people and take the contributions
to the fund.
White Men Take Lead.
The work of preparation for thlsj
great meeting has been going for- ;

Interest has been displayed by \\\
Woods White, chairman of the State

Y. M. C. A., and John J. Eagan, one
of the trustees.
All three spoke at a meeting of ne
gro ministers Friday night, encour

either in the morning or In the aft
ernoon.
The undoubted need of the negro
Y. M. (*. A. has been placed before
the people fully, and the Interest In
obtaining it is taken as evidence that
the negro young men of Atlanta are
simply waiting for the chance to show
that they appreciate and will use to
the fullest the opportunity to show I
w’hat kind of platen they prefer to j
spend their spare time in.

HELEN KELLER
'SEES' WARFIELD
IN GREAT PLAY
Dialogue of “The Auctioneer” Is
Communicated to Finger Tips,
She Senses Every Emotion.
An absorbing story was published,
telling how Mias Helen Keller, who is
to appear here at the Auditorium-
Armory on tne evening of December
20, under the auspices and for the
benefit of the Atlanta Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, “saw’*
David Warfield In a performance of
“The Auctioneer.” *
Anyone inclined to believe that tills
blind and deaf girl did not actually
se*e and enjoy the performance would
be thoroughly convinceel after read
ing the story. Of course, It wan pos
sible only through the intercession
and remarkable ability to convey im
pressions of Miss Keller’s teacher and
companion for 26 years, Mrs. Macy.
The writer tells first how Miss Kel
ler sat In the foyer with Mrs Macy
and a friend, Miss Moore, and en
joyed the arrival of fashionable folks
She chatted in a lively manner over
each group of arrivals, and seemed to
know many of the celebrities.
Nothing can reveal how Miss Keller
“saw” the performance better than to
quote from the article.
“The process by which Mrs. Mary
and Miss Moore communicated the
details of what was going on on the
stage was as complicated as it was
lnteretslng. The major portion of
the labor, of course, fell upon Mrs
Macy. She it was who deftly and
swiftly communicated all the dia
logue, together with the attendant
“business,” provided-the latter did not
become too much involved, in which
case Miss Me ire came to the rescue
as a sort of auxiliary.
"That Helen Keller should respond
to the moving pathos of David War-
field’s acting is not so remarkable, In
view of the fact that she has, of ne
cessity, a highly spiritualized equip
ment for the sensing of emotion, and
that Warfield Is pre-eminently a mas
ter In the art o*f transmuting the
spiritual into tangible terms of drama.
What is more remarkable is the fact
that, deaf and blind, this girl should
respond so Instantaneously to all the
delicate Inflections of David War-
field’s comedy. She responded to every
nuance thereof with a promptness
that was positively uncanny.
“It was In the Belasco green room,
after the play, however, that Miss
Keller displayed her greatest virtu
osity. She had long wanted to meet
her favorite actor, she aid. and when
at last he stood bowing before her.
she grasped his outstretched hand
and, in her clear treble voice, said,
very distinctly;
“‘Oh. Mr. Warfield, this is certain
ly shaking hands with a ghost. Ah,
how I did love you in "The Return
of Peter Grimm.” I wish that I might
see you in that play once again. You
don’t know, you can not know, what
Peter Grimm meant to me, who have
striven all my life to hear and be
heard out of the darkness, just as
your feplrit did when it came back to
earth-’ ”
As Miss Keller left him the great
actor said: “She is greater than Na
poleon.”

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said J
my only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly antj
completely cured me. Years have passed
and the rupture has never returned, al
though I am doing hard work as a car-
f ienter. There was no operation, no
ost time, no trouble. I have nothing
to sell, but will give full information
about how you may find a complete
cure without operation, if you write to
me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 1229
Marcellus avenue, Manasquan, N. J.
Better cut out this notice and show it
to any others who are ruptured—you
may save a life or at least stop the
misery of rupture and the worry and
danger of an operation.
