11 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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.

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.

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 that some doy, or know why! 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.
