The Redfleld statement shows tha:
there has been a large increase m

increase in the amount of corn, flfib.

the general complaints of consumers

The Redfleld figures seem to raise

In considering these figures it
should be borne in mind that the
statistics for the yiontli of October
represent only twenty-eight days, the

It should be noted also that the
month of October can not be taken
as a frfir test of normal conditions
under the new law. for there was a
large amount of goods in bond in the

"On the whole." say# Secretary

Second Concert by Philharmonic
Orchestra Charms—Much
Improvement Shown.
The second concert by the Phil
harmonic Orchestra of/ the Atlanta
Musical Festival Association at the
Atlanta Theater Tuesday night was
easily one of the leading musical
events of the seasonj Since the last
concert more musicians and new in
struments hav-e been added to the or
chestra and the result was apparent
in a greatly improved balance of the
parts of the orchestra and a greater
variety of effect.
The program proved unusually
popular and th* 1 orchestra was forced
to respond to many encores. Two
movements from Beethoven’s first
symphony were given, also a group
of Norwegian dances by Grieg that
contrasted pleasantly with three Eng
lish dances by German. One of Con
ductor Wilson's compositions. "A
Country Dance and Romance," w-is
not the least beautiful of the num
bers. The overture to "Oberon" com
pleted the program.
The vocalists also excelled their
efforts in previous concerts. The sc.\-
tette from "Lucia di Lammermoor,"
by Mrs. Benjamin Elsas, Miss Sprits,
Mr. Warn well, Mr. Cundell, Mr. Wat
ters and Mr. Bates was encored re
peatedly, and although Mr. Watters
suffered from a cold, his arias from
"Figaro,” and "Falstaff” were among
the features of the concert.
THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
The Girl of My Dreams.
A pleasing comedy with music will
be given at the Atlanta for three
nights and Saturday matinee, open
ing Thursday night. This musical
comedy is "The Girl of My Dreams,”
which has scored a big success where
it has been presented. Only One com
pany is en tour this season and the
play is certain to please. The cast
: s well worth while with a number
of well-known players among ihe
s xty w ho appear on the stage. The
chorus contains many pretty girls. So
few musical comedies are on the road
this year that the managers had an
easy time picking over those w r ho ap
plied.

ta girl who lias returned to her na
tive city to teach Atlanta society
how to dance, after spending several
years in New York and Europe, will

necessary for the beginner for danc
ing the popular dances of the day.
She will write of the hesitation
waltz, the tango, the Maxixe. the one-
step. and all of the others with the
exception of the turkey trot. She
bars that strange freak from her
repertoire, characterizing it as out
landish and a product of the slums of
San Francisco.
Miss Bain’s articles will be illus
trated with poses by herself and Don
ald Crane, her dancing partner, in
the different positions of the dance.
Miss Bain’s ability to teach dancing
is unquestioned. She nas spent the
past six or eight years studying un-
tier the best dancing masters of
Europe and America, and has in her
repertoire a number ol beautiful clas
sical and interpretative dances as
well as the ballroom dances.
With Mr. Crane she :s demonstrat
ing her dances at the Piedmont Driv
ing Club, and her classes are largely
attended by society folk, who wel
come the opportunity to learn the
tango and the hesitation and the oth
ers from a real mistress of tlie dance.
