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.
