OLD AGE 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. -l i J .First! Pre>. iOp*n[ High [Low! Call! Cleoe TTOSTTOTIIOr - Figure Juggling Is Dec Mch. Feb Mch April May June July . Aug.

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.

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.
