EJlHs, vrtio noted for the magnificence of [heir entertainments, were host and I hostess at a “cabaret evening;” Tues day which was one of the most bril liant affairs ewer -given In Atlanta. I Tht r mansion in Ansley Park is ad mirably adapted to entertaining, and nothing was spared to make the ev- | piling a true representation of a real •abaret in the French capital. Their | yrisitors, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick I Turning, of New York, were honor I quests. The programs were printed in French, and the group of artists con tributing, even though some were I r e ai Atlantans, could not have given i m(A"e elaborate and enjoyable per- f pma^Tce. The program was as fol- 1 lows: Milo. Louise et Monsier Jerre, In h :r nioderfi farrtasie of Plerro ©t Pierrette. Sjgnocita Helene et Don Eugeno, Spanish dancers, the crate of Ra- ville.

Mrs. John | Somerville, wearing the Pierrette foctirme of white, satin, with the wide I ruche, etc., and Dr. J. D. Osborne [?avft a splendid French dance. Miss I tfelen Dargaxi and Eugene Kelly fol- Ilowed in a most beautiful Spanish ] iancev, Miss Dlargan wearing the I jjreen and gold Spanish costume, with I Mack'bolero embroidered in gold, red -ash. Spanish headdress, etc. Eugene I Kelly wore a rad sash and red tur- Iban. and both were most graceful in : heir interpretation of a difficult | dance. The headliners followed and made great hit, whet* James Ragan, in a I gorgeous Rajfcah costume, with red | r »,be, heavily embroidered In gold, ■ gold waistcoat and the Rajah head- I dress, dar&ced the Salome dance with |Hunter Pugry, who made a most real- itic Salome. Miss D<\(nna Bavn. of New York, I who lias charmed Atlanta with her I exquisite d\ancing for the past ten I days, then tallowed in a dance of her . wn invention—“Mile. Modiste.” 'earing a tiiraple aostume and rep resenting a milliner’s errand girl, 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 th© 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 down the stairs, giv ing a most beautiful and difficult dance. The program was thoroughly en joyed by 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. Ellis 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 charmeuse satin and pearls.

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 moat 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” ail next week with matinees New Year's Day and Hat- urday. The positive announcement of the original New Theater production and the Century cant hus already assured the big success of “The Blue Bird” week. The running expenses of the at traction are nearly $8,900 a week, out side of the house expense. This gives sorry* 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 tra “Sergeant Bagby” at Forsyth. The sale for Christmas week is far in advance of anything the Forsyth box office anticipated, and capacity gather ings will mark every performance. The headliner, “Sergeant Bagby,” is a won derful playlet. It is a dramatization of the famous story published in th© Sat urday Evening Post. There are ©oven characters, aJl of whom are well cast. Surrounding this act are six other fea tures of splendid value. Anatol Fried- land and Olga Ulmever, the oomposer and the vocaliat. entertain in fine fash ion, while the trio, Burton, Hahn and Cantwell, with their ballads and rag have an act worth while.

I 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 Judge? are paid $17,500 per year, and It la not considered a bit too much. in Georgia excellent Judges may be had for a great deal less money, but they should not b© 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 preeent small pay of the Judiciary In Georgia Is growing stronger and stronger. There Is no doubt that a serious and concerted effort will be made when th© 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 Rtats is a unit in favor of it.
