THE GIRL OF Iff
OHS'
i
■liibers of Company Capable
id Work Hard, but Vehicle
Has Flat Tire.
By TARLETON COLLIER.
You are informed ostentatiousl;*
it "The Girl of My Dreams” is the
•duct of eminent composers and'
brettists. These gentlemen must
ive been content to rest on laurels
• rherwise won—or maybe this was
a rush order. At any rate, it must
p said that "The Girl of My Dreams,”
pening at the Atlanta Theater
T irsday night, is not a- monumental
ige piece.
A musical comedy, which should be
nothing if not brightly effervescent,
•hat drags itself along with only one
or two songs receiving more than a
single lukewarm encore—well, not
much can be said for its appeal.
In the one song that received an ex
ceptionally warm greeting, "Dr. Tin-
le Tinkle,” advantage was taken of
this opportunity of manufacturing an
appeal. The chorus was displayed in
drills that were unique, and the mai
dens, besides, were gayly arrayed for
once. It would have been just as
easy to dress up the other ensem
bles, and thus to give more of a
punch to the whole show.
The company is not to be blamed
for the lack of cordiality displayed by
the Thursday night audience. There
were many in the cast who deserved
really brighter lines and better sit
uations. Eda Von Luke, as Daphne,
the’ sentimental milliner, was as good
at times as any funny woman who
has exploited her talents in these
parts recently. Hoy Purviance, in
leading role, has an excellent vofbe,
and the desirable savoir faire of the
hero. The singing of Countess Olga
Yon Hatzfeldt, in the heroine’s part,
was as good as the luster of her
name would lead you to expect. Ir
ving Brooks, as Count Von Schnig-
glefits, proved to be rather funny be
fore the final curtain fell. Neil Burns
and Adele Boulais, the juveniles,
made good.
The Girl of My Dreams” will be
at the Atlanta for performances Fri
day and Saturday evenings, and mat
inee Saturday.

Bunting Draws Big Houses.
There will be just three more op
portunities to see Miss Emma Bunt
ing in her splendid performance of
The Girl From Out Yonder"’ at the
Lyric. The attendance this week has
been exceptional. As Flotsam, Miss
Bunting appears to splendid advant
age, and the charming little manner
isms that have endeared her to every
theatergoer in Atlanta are evident in
her impersonation of the lighthouse
keeper’s little daughter.
Hooligan Coming to Lyric.
"Happy Hooligan” comes to the
Lyric for a week’« stay beginning
Monday. Fun is rampant from the

merry one and even the most cross-
grained misanthrope Is sure to be
amused.

The Jewell Kelley Company's “The

and patrons of the house are showing

eved to be incurable. Tests showed 4
per cent of sugar. A recent letter is as
follows:
"Hoquiam, \\\sh., April 5, 1913.

He informed Secretary of State Cook j and others were awarded that honor
of this desire, and further told him ! without protest or question,
that along with the request foi tag _ T , " „ "

writer got the tag Cook could keep
the cigars, but if he didn’t get the
tag the cigars must come back.
Investigation showed that tag No.
711 long ago went to somebody else
and can not now be duplicated. So
the Secretary had to pass up the ci
gars. He says if he had thought of It
he would have reserved tag No. 711
for some such emergency, as he might
have known it would arise sooner or
later.
Taking time by the forelock in an
other direction, however, Colonel
Cook ha« put aside tag No. 41144—and
he proposes to get a box of cigars for

Governor Slaton approves of the
Jim Price variety of Georgia dinner,
such as the one given recently by that
gentleman at the University Club in
Atlanta.
"Everything at Price’s dinner was
Georgia raised and Georgia bred. The
menu served was rather hearty, but
It was genuinely local. There were
are sorts of varieties of pork—back
bone, chitterlii..j, spareribs, sausage,
Jowl, and what not. It all came from
a good Georgia farm—and it was fine
eating,” said the Governor to-day.
“I enjoy a dinner of Georgia prod
ucts a little bit more than any other
kind. Price’s was a fine one—and I
hope he never will overlook me when
framing one up!”
South Georgia apparently has put in
something of a bid to fame as North
Georgia’s rival in the matter of
“moonshine” distilling.
.Deputy Collector of Internal Reve
nue Cooley, of the Southern District
of Georgia, recently nosed out an il
licit still about eight miles from
Thomasville, and pTorr^tly confis
cated the outfit. Mr. Cooley found
several barrels of beer and booze, an.l
everything showed that the still had
been in very recent operation.
There have been reports very fre
quently of stills around Thomas
County, especially in the lower part
of it, but they have been hard to lo
cate, as witnesses summoned always
fail to testify "satisfactorily,” or
something or other.
If they are going to manufacture it
in South Georgia by the wholesale,
they will have to quit calling it gen
erally "mountain dew.” anyway, as
there are no fountains in South
Georgia.
A rather sillv story—designed orig
inally as a joke, perhaps—has been
going the rounds of the press in
Georgia concerning Judge Samuel B.
Adams, of Savannah, and some re
cently expressed views of his In re
spect to woman's suffrage.
Judge Adams gave to the press a
few days ago a very scholarly and
dignified argument against woman
suffrage, which attracted great atten
tion throughout the State. A few
days later a story was sent out frfern
Savannah to the effect that the judge
had been swamped with protesting
letters from all quarters, and that
"sharp division actually had arisen In
his family” because of the views ex
pressed.
At first the judge looked upon the
matter as# joke, if a rather poor one,
but later it became more or less em
barrassing. and now it seems to re
quire a mild measure of polite denial.
As a matter of fact, the judge has
received only a few letters concerning
his article, all of them commending it.
Nobody has protested to him about
it, although many people doubtless
entertain views entirely different
from those expressed by the judge.
And as to division in his household—
that, of course, is absurd.
Judge Samuel B. Adams Is one of
Georgia’s most splendid men—an able
lawyer, a just judge, a student and a
scholar. His fear of woman suffrage
is that it might make woman less
womanly—and that is the one fear,
moreover, of many people who hon
estly and heartily enou~h believe oth
erwise in the righteousness of the
cause.
