Atlanta's Leading Musicians Will
Play—Tech Show and Dance
Fill Many Empty Stockings.
The Empty Stocking fund is larger
by a substantial sum Saturday as
the result of the dance at Segafllos
Hall on East Pine, street and the an
nual play of the Tech Dramatic So
ciety at the Grand Theater. Friday
night.
All of the proceeds of the dance
went to the fund, and one-fourth of
the money taken in at the theater.
Exact figures are not yet- available,
but the Christmas Editor has done
enough figuring to be assured that
there will be enough money added to
the fund through these events to take
care of many of Atlanta's poor chil
dren.
Both events rank with the most
enjoyable of the season. The Tech
boys never have presented a better
performance titan “Tile Magistrate.”
and Atlantans have rarely patronized
a. Tech show in larger numbers than
they did at the Grand Friday night.
And the boys had worked hard to
get the people interested in their
show, for they were working tor the
little boys and girls as well as. for
the glorv of Tech. And the knowl
edge that some of the proceeds of the
©how would show Santa Claus the
wav to many Atlanta homes which
otherwise would be dark and cheer
less Christmas morning, gave their
acting a swing and dash that raised
the' performance high above the aver
age amateur production.
Miss Moseley Directs Dance.
, And then after the show there as
the dance at Segadlo's. under ths per
sonal direction of \Jiss Moseley The
affair began at 8:30, and several hun
dred people were on the floor before
the doors had been open half an hour.
The' great rush, however, came af
ter the show, when scores of parties
that had seen the Tech performance,
and incidentally aided the Empty
Stocking fund, came to the dunce hall
for another hour or two of pleasure.
It was a fine night for everybody
—those who like to dance, ttmse who
like a good show,-and the children.
And now there Is just one more
thing that the Christmas Editor has
planned for the benefit of the Empty
Stocking futyl.
It’s that free concert at tile For
syth Theater Sunday afternoon,
which is going to be one of the most
elaborate musical events of the sea
son.
An amalganfstion of the musical
talent of Atlanta into a carefully ar
ranged program promises on 1 his oc
casion a veritable feast of entertain
ment. -Vot alone has the event been
planned to please lovers of good mu
sic, but novelties have been inter
jected wliijh are calculated to lend
variety and dispense w-ith the monot
ony usually attendant upon musicals.
Good Program Arranged.
Here is the program. Look it over

the South. At the age of 12 years he
has accomplished a marvelous degree
of proficiency.
And Lee’s Hawaiian Trio will throw
its Oriental musical charm about
you.
And last, but not least. REMEM
BER: This conoei is for the benefit of
the Empty Stocking Fund. To anyone
who has visited the poorer districts of
Atlanta and has seen the thousands of
poor children the appeal of this char
ity will surely ring clear.

It is for their sakes that this request
is made of you. It is for their sakes
that you should go to this perform
ance.

Stocking Fund. Make it payable to
the Christmas Editor, and mail it to
him at Xo. 20 East Alabama street.
Or, if you are in that vicinity of
town, drop in and leave it for him.
It doesn’t matter how much you
give. If everybody in Atlanta gives
something, the amounts will neft mat
ter.
This is a duty you should not neg
lect. Do it now.
