TULETIDE FETE
TO IE HEED ST
CITTHflLLTREE
Plaza Will Be the Scene of Great
Celebration Over the Empty
Stocking Fund.
If then? ;» any Scroopa or rhronlc
misanthrope amonj? you, let him come
to the Joyous Christmas festival on
the Pity Hall plaza Christmas Eve
and Christmas nlKltt. If that doesn’t
lirlntr home to him the beneflrent
spirit of the Yuletide and swell his
heart with ttood will toward his fel
low-man, then he is Just about hope
less
The festival—and there never has
been anythin)? exactly like it In At
lanta -will be in celebration of the
ttenerous wave of response that met
The Georgian and Sunday American
Empty Stocking Fund campaign,
which will reach its crest this Sun
day afternoon in the great free con
cert in the Forsyth -Theater
And It will be to flood Atlanta with
the holiday happiness, to kindle the
heart of the man of the street, of the
man away from home, witlt a feeling
of kindliness and generosity toward
those In less fortunate circumstances.
A Giant of a Tree!
That tree, the biggest and most
beautiful that eould be procured, will
be in a blaze of light from myriad !n-
*-a.ndescents and sttarkllng from iri
descent tinsel and other gayly-col-
ored decorations The men who have
had the laborious task of setilng it
up claim that It is undoubtedly the
largest that will be used In any
Christmas celebration this year.
The tree, of course, is only an in
cidental part of the festival.
GREAT CONCERT TO-DAY TO HELP GIVE WAIFS A CHRISTMAS
' ' . .. _ - - ‘ ‘ _ a— «... —-
HPi i The
Thristinan carols and happy holiday
f*or»KS from the young throat * of
scorfs of newsboys now being trained
by Gerard Thiers will be one of the
delightful features
The orphan boy choruses by chil
dren from the Oorsrin Baptist Or
phan Home nt Hapevllle and the or
phanage at Decatur will he another.
Then there will be music in plenty
by Wedemeyer’s well-known band.
\11 in all, it would be difficult to sur
pass the program in appropriateness
and merit.
All of the corn is being borne by
The Georgian and Sunday American.
Nothing will be taken from the Emp
ty Stocking Fund for the celebration.
That all will go to the needy children
of the city'.
Best Use for Plaza.
“It’s ns good a use as the City Hall
plaza ever has been put to,” com
mented Alderman A. H. VanDyke on
Saturday, while he and Mayor Wood
ward were looking over the big tree
“It's the best.” the Mayor replied,
and that settled It.
The tree was set up-by the Morrow
Transfer Company and It was r.o easy
task, becau«» of its Immense propor
tions.
The Russell Electric Company was
Mi.«*v Saturday stringing the tree with
hundreds of Incandescent lights.
Throughout the day the sidewalk was
crowded with people Inspecting the
gigantic Christmas tree and asking
t\hat it was all about.
Generally someone was at hand to
explain that It was The Georgian and
Sunday American's tree, and that
there were going to be some doings
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
when the big festival Is in progress.
The programs will begin about f»
o’clock and will last In the neighbor
hood of two hours.
Continued From Page 1.
te season, for its hearts to be stirred
r the most cordial Christmas spirit,
his Is an element of cold weather.
That Saturday cold spell, however,
had no effect on a wore of groups
that stood here and there before the
biggest, brightest windows downtown.
Tiny, Pinched Face*, They Are.
They usually were tiny groups, of
\ery tiny people. Oblivious to the
cold, unconscious of the wind or of
the crowds that eddied by, they stood
and stared raptly. They were rag
gedy little folks Their eyes, won
dering, were at the same time wistful.
They are old enough to be afraid that
this’ion’ ing and dreaming will be all
the «' *mns they'll have.
But i r l the efforts of the Christ
mas I; : :or, and all the significant
things the cold wind has to say, are
of any avail, then these same little
wistful people won’t go without their
('hrlstmas.
If the Empty Stocking Fund of The
Sunday American and Georgian holds
out and, to judge from the readiness
with which responses come, it will
surely go far enough—they will have
their taste of Christmas cheer and a*
the same time will have the warm
shoes and jackets and skirts of which
the worried mother is thinking.
There will be a concert at the For
syth Theater this afternoon t free
concert —for the benefit of the Empty
Stocking Fund. The best talent in
Atlanta, singers and musicians of
every degree, will be there exploited.
Wh«t a Fine Program!
It will be an occasion »»f genuine
pleasure and entertainment.
Such entertainment as you could
not obtain from the professional stage
except at considerable cost. Band
selections, directed by capable con
ductors; orchestral symphonies ir
which there will he really great mu
sic; popular ballads by professionals
Shubert)
and amateurs; Instrumental solos
artists—all this is offered.
The program in detail is as f>
lows:
CMerture. Bosom unde

ory and to Atlanta’s Christmas char
ity.
