Victor Morley, However, Is En
tertaining and Saves, Single-
Handed. Diluted Production,
By TARLETON COLLIER.
It is considerably to the credit of
“The Quaker Girl," as presented at
the Atlanta Theater Monday night,
that it leaves a pleasant impression
in spite of several decided handicaps
How this is done It is hard to say,
except that Victor Morley is there to
accomplish a large bit of the salva
tion single-handed
Naturally enough, the first handi
cap you would think of is that ‘‘The
Quaker Girl” is here for ns second
season. However, that is not to bo
deplored altogether, for there is mu
sic 1n the show of quality sufficiently
robust to stand repetition
The real burden which "The Qua
ker Girl” must bear is a lamentable
lack of good voices. Except In the
one Instance of the “Come to the
Ball” song, there was no volume in
either the solo or the ensemble sing
ing
Altokgether, it is a rather diluted
production that is here this week. The
plaintive puerility of Miss Bernice
McCabe, the Quaker Girl, is one of
the first things that strikes you
However, since ingenuousness and
shrinking is an attribute of a maiden
of the Friends, this is not altogether
unfortunate, perhaps. And Miss Mc
Cabe is pretty and a fair dancer.
It stands without danger of con
tradiction that Victor Morley i* an
excellent comedian. Monday night he
was a joy even to those who saw him
and laughed with him last season. Mr.
Morley. being a versatile person, can
entertain and delight with his non
sense even while he plays the admir-
, able hero, in swagger hero clothes.
His dancing is excellent.
“The Quaker Girl” will be at the
Atlanta for performances Tuesday
j and Wednesday evening and Wednes-
’ day matinee.
Happy Hooligan
Runs True to Form.
‘‘Happy Hooligan.” invariable vic
tim in the myriad misadventures pic
tured by F. Opper in the Sunday com
ic sections, runs true to form as he
is transported into musical comedy at
the Lyric this week.
Manhandled, pummeled and black-
! jacked wtlh the prescribed regularity
by an obese policeman, "Happy's" 'of
is made the least bit tolerable only
from the fact that he Is surrounded by
a chorus unuaually good to look upon.
It follows that the sympathy for him
in his misfortunes is not at all times
unmixed with envy
Harry Lamont has the part of this
incarnation of Hard Luck. and. be
sides carrying it to the lively appro
bation of his audience, does some
rather clever specialties. Joe J. Sul
livan and Martin Guild—respectively
Irish and Dutch comedian—are well
adapted to the play’s type of fun. The
feminine principals—Celia Mavis and
Vera Franklin—are capable.
The singing is a little better than
the average for popular-priced musi
cal shows. The production has its
own style of comedy, which almost
might be described as simply ar. elab
oration of Opper’s brand of humor.
And, again, the maidens of the cho
rus are a few points above par.

Racers Are Blamed.
The young athlete* who shocked so
ciety women of the North Side by the
brevity of their running attire and
brought a vigorous protest from J. A.
Eggler, of No 262 West Fourteenth
street, were not Tech hoys, according
to K. G, Matheson president of Tech.
Not that the Tech boys’ costume.*#
might not be regarded aa aomewnit

not train on West Fourteenth street,
from whence the complaints ema
nated.
Hemphill avenue and the stretch of
woods between the Tech campus and
the waterworks station la the train
ing ground of the Yellow Jackets’
speed representatives. And during
the years In which Tech has been in
existence no complaint has ever been
made by the residents of this thor
oughfare as to the immodest appear
ance of the young men.
The runners who have so scan
dalized the Eggler neighborhood are
prep students. At least. Circumstan
tial evidence points that way
Declaring that he had nothing to
say about Mr Eggler’s visit to police
headquarters Monday and his threats
to "souse" the runners with a garden
hose. President Matheson yielded to
a smile.
"Why, let him duck them in the res
ervoir." said Dr. Matheson. "Befo e
they start the onslaught with water,
though. I would suggest that they ob
tain some husky men to assist them,
as the Tech runners are quite healthy
young men and might decide to re
verse conditions.”
Young men with speed ambition*
have never minded the weather in At-
lantand, and. no matter bow cold the
wind was. have faced it in nothing
blit the lightest of racing costumes
Evidently unaware of Mr. Eggler’s
threats, the Tech track squad held its
regular practice run Monday after
noon. The course taken, though, was
in the direction Dr Matheson had
stated, and east-northeast of Mr. Hig
gler's home.
