8 C fTKAHST'S srxi)A v AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA.. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21. 1913. 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.
