THK ATLANTA (JLOKUIAN A XT) XETVS.
ELLIS CABARET PORTRAYS
BRILLIANT FRENCH SCENES
NEW WEAPON USED
IN EGG-PRICE FIGHT
Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Ellis, who
are noted for the magnificence of
their entertainments, were host and
hostess at a “cabaret evening” Tues
day which was one of the most bril
liant. affairs ever given in Atlanta.
Their mansion in Ansley Park is ad
mirably adapted to entertaining, and
nothing was spared to make the ev
ening a true representation of a real
cabaret in the French capital. Their
visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Corning, of New York, were honor
guests.
The programs were printed in
French, and the group of artists con
tributing, even though some were
real Atlantans, could not have given
a more elaborate and enjoyable per
formance. The program was as fol
lows: /
Mile. Louise et Monsier Jerre. in
their modern fantasie of Pierro et
Pierrette.
Signorita Helene et Don Eugene,
Spanish dancers, the craze of Sa-
ville.
Mile. Modiste, from the Palais de
Dance.
Headliners, the famous Russian
dancers in their marvelous perver
sion of Salome.
Mile. Petite Bebe des Folies Ber-
gere. the wonder of all Europe.
Mile. Donna et Monsieur Donald
Danse de Escalier, the sensation of
Paris and Vienna.
Tn the first number. Mrs. John
Somerville, wearing the Pierrette
costume of white satin, with the wide
ruche, etc., and Dr. J. D. Osborne
gave a splendid French dance. Miss
Helen Dargan and Eugene Kelly fol
lowed In a most beautiful Spanish
dance. Miss Dargan wearing the
green and gold Spanish costume, with
black bolero embroidered in gold, red
sash. Spanish headdress, etc. Eugene
Kelly wore a red sash and red tur
ban, and both were most graceful in
their interpretation of a difficult
dance.
The headliners followed and made
a great hit. when James Ragan, in a
gorgeous Rajah costume, with red
robe, heavily embroidered in gold,
gold waistcoat and the Rajah head
dress, danced the Salome dance with
Hunter Perry, who made a most real
istic Salome.
Miss Donna Bain, of New York,
who has charmed Atlanta with her
exquisite dancing for the past ten
days, then followed in a dance of her
own invention—“Mile. Modiste.”
Wearing a simple costume and rep
resenting a milliner’s errand girl.
Miss Bain carried a large pink band-
box. tied with pink ribbon bows and
containing an exquisite hat. Unable
to resist peeping in. the little girl
opened the box and put on the hat,
dancing all the time and telling a
story without words. Her pleasure is
further exhanced upon finding in the
box a beautiful white muff which
she also appropriates temporarily, all
the while giving a series of exquisite
poses. Finally these things are put
back in the box and the little mes
senger girl bows her head on the box,
as she realizes that after all she is
only a milliner’s messenger. An
other difficult dance was given by
Miss Bain when she appeared as
“Petite Bebe.’’
The final number was another orig
inal dance, by Miss Bain and Donald
Crane, of New York, in which the
Merry Widow waltz was suggested by
the costume of black embroidered in
silver, and the black aigrettes ” ad
justed to a rhinestone bandeau, worn
by Miss Bain. Her assistant wore a
Spanish costume, and, beginning at
the top of the staircase, they danced
the tango up and dow n the stairs, giv
ing a most beautiful and difficult
dance.
The program was thoroughly en
joyed bv the -guests, and besides the
care and thought which Mrs. Ellis had
bestowed upon it. she had arranged
other original and clever features.
Upon entering, the guests were greet
ed by two men wearing court livery
of black satin, with knee breeches,
white stockings, yellow satin waist
coats, and powdered hair. At the
foot of the stairs stood two Nubian
slaves, wearing Oriental robes and
turbans, who displayed each number
of the program. The waiters in the
dining room represented East In
dians, wearing white suits with red
sashes and turbans. Every detail of
the affair was most elaborate and
beautiful, and the entire house was
decorated throughout with holiday
decorations, in which the Christmas
colors prevailed. In the drawing
room and living room the mantels
were banked with Liberty roses and
narcissi and Christmas trees, and the
guests were seated for supper at small
tables, as in a real cabaret show. A
long buffet table held a delicious sup
per, and eggnog was served from a
beautifully decorated table.
Mrs. Eilis was a queenly figure in
white satin, with overdress of black
lace and an embroidery of rhine
stones. Mrs. Corning was handsome
ly gowned in white satin with a gar
niture of pearls and brilliants. Miss
Katherine Ellis wore white oharmeuse
satin and pearls.
WASHINGTON. Dee. 24.—With the
new currency bill made into law as
a Christmas- present to the nation, a
remarkable reaction of good feeling
in business and financial circles was
reported from all over the country
to-day.
The new law, which, according to
the President, is but the first of a se
ries of constructive measures, was
signed by the Executive last night in
the presence of a notable company.
The President made a remarkable
impromptu tal?v reflecting the admin
istration attitude toward business.
The task of putting the new law
into effect was taken up to-day. The

The announced resignation of
Judge Robert Pottle from the bench
of the State Court of Appeals, for the
very sufficient reason that the judge
has found it impossible to live, in
justice to himself and those depend
ent upon him, upon the small salary
paid, has aroused the State press
anew to the crying injustice of an
underpaid judiciary in Georgia, and
prompts The Macon News to protest
vigorously against the same.
In Tuesday’s News appears the
following editorial:

cigars, and the employees of the Con
struction Department presented Al
derman J. H. Harwell, chairman of
the Council Sewer Committee, with a
handsome walking stick and Coun
cilman Orville H. Hall, chairman of
the Streets Committee, with a fine
umbrella.
Chief of Construction R. M. Clay
ton was so moved by the spirit of the
occasion that he penned the follow
ing little “pome,” which brought
many a piece of change to the ele
vator boy:
Don’t forget the elevator boy—
Grover is his name.
He's pulled the cord all the year,
And hauled you all the same.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
“Within the Law" Follows “The Qua'
ker Girl.”
“The Quaker Girl" will say good-bye
to Atlanta to-night when the final per
formance of that musical comedy will
be given. To-morrow “Within the
Law" comes as the special Christmas
offering. A matinee will be given at 3
o'clock and on {Saturday a regular mati
nee will be played at 2:30 o'clock. Seats
are now on sale for all the perform
ances of the big hit, for "Within the
Law" is assuredly the greatest hit in
the last 20 years. It is vivid and full
of life from curtain rise to fall and
will be given here by a most excellent
company.
The seat sale opens at the Atlanta
Theater to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock
for the notable engagement of Maeter
linck’s “The Blue Bird" all next week
with matinees New Year's Day and Sat
urday. The positive announcement of
the original New Theater production and
the Century cast has already assured
the big success of “The Blue Bird"
week. The running expenses of the at
traction are nearly $8,000 a week, out
side of the house expense. This gives
some faint idea of the magnitude of the
job in taking the New Theater's chef
d'ouvre from its original home and tour
ing it about the country. Among the
extraordinary features are a cast of
more than 100 persons, scenic effects
that cost $150,000. novel symbolic dances
and special music by enlarged orches

“Sergeant Bagby” at Forsyth.
The sale for Christmas week is far in

derful playlet. It is a dramatization of
the famous story published in the Sat
urday Evening Post. There are seven
characters, all of whom are well cast.
Surrounding this act are six other fea
tures of splendid value. Anatof Fried -
land and Olga Unnever. the composer
and the vocalist, entertain in fine fash
ion. while the trio. Burton. Hahn and
Cantwell, with their ballads and rag
have an act worth while. Jo Boganny’#

Preparations were made to-day for
hearings by the committee, which,
under the law. includes the Secretary
of the Treasury, Comptroller of the
Currency and Secretary of Agricul
ture.
President Wilson has not yet ap
pointed a comptroller, but as two
members constitute a majority of the
committee. Secretaries McAdoo and
Houston can conduct the hearings. Il
is probable that no comptroller will
be named until after the holidays.
John Skelton Williams, of Virginia,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
is the leading candidate for the place,
which, under the new law, is worfh
$12,000 a year.
Sharp inquiry into Williams’ career
will he made before the Senate con
firms his nomination to ascertain if
he has any affiliations that would
make him favor the “money trust.”
Atlanta for Reserve Bank.
New York, Chicago, St. Louis and
San Francisco are certain to be re
serve cities under the new act. Bos
ton. Washington, Atlanta, Cincinnati,
Minneapolis, Omaha and Denver ap
pear to be the most likely locations
for other banks. Until the hearings
have been completed it will be un
certain whether twelve banker will bo
designated at once, but it is probable
that the maximum number will be
selected.
More than 600 national banks al
ready have indicated that they will
join the new system. Primarily, *ti-
trance into the system means the
subscription of 6 per cent of capital
and surplus to the capital stock of
the regional banks, submission to ex
amination requirements, the transfer
of reserves from present reserve
agents to the Federal hanks and a re
duction of exchange charges to a ba
sis of actual cost. Until the system
i.«r completely organized, none of these
requirements will be enforceable ex
cept the subscription for stock, only
half of which is made payable within
90 days.

A message from p resTdent Wilson

felicitating him on the passage of
the currency bill was given out at
the White House this afternoon, it
reads:
“My Dear McAdoo—We ail unite

courts of Georgia must be paid
more money.
It is a disgrace to the State that
the justices of the Court of Ap
peals and the Supreme Court are
not given salaries commensurate
with their services and their
ability.
The Court of Appeals judges are
paid less than the Superior Court
judges of Atlanta, Macon and
Augusta.
No wonder they resign to re
enter the practice of law. Able
lawyers can not be expected to
sacrifice themselves and their
families merely for the honor of
occupying the bench.
Invariably the men who are
elected, or appointed, to the Ap
pellate Courts are lawyers of dis
tinction and large practice. They
are at least lawyers of undoubted
ability. Such men should not be
asked to serve as the highest
* judges of the State for such in
adequate compensation.
In the end this system will op
erate to put judges of mediocre
caliber on the bench.
In New York State some judges
are paid $17,500 per year,, and it
is not considered a bit too much.
In Georgia excellent judges
may be had for a great deal less
money, but they should not be
expected for the salaries now
paid.
The next session of the Georgia
Legislature should result in the
raising of the judges’ pay.
The protest against the present
small pay of the judiciary in Georgia
js growing stronger and stronger.
There is no doubt that a serious
and concerted effort will be made
when the Legislature meets next sum
mer to have the pay of the judges
raised substantially, and it looks now
as if success will crown the same.
The Governor is said to favor such
action, and# the bar of the State is a
unit in favor of it.

Congress as a whole realized the
