That effervescent Uispeller of the
blues, “Happy Hooligan." is scoring a
tremendous hit this week at the Lyric.
The scarcity of musical comedies this
season has whetted the appetites of
theatergoers and patrons of the Lyric
have been looking forward eagerlv to
this engagement. The result Is plainly
seen in the large audiences that are
patronizing the house. Harry Lamont
makes a capital “Hooligan.”
PRESIDENT'S STOP
IN ATLANTA Q0IET
President Woodrow' Wilson was in
Atlanta late Wednesday afternoon.
He tame in at 4:55 in a special train
of four cars, carrying his private
physician, Dr. Cary Ura>son. Mrs.
Wilson and Misses Eleanor and Mar
garet, and sundry secret service men,
newspaper correspondents and serv
ants. He left at 5:20 en route to the
Gulf Coast, where he will try to gei
some rest, after his strenuous work
on the ’eurrency bill.
In the 25 minutes the President was
here he walked up and down the plat
form ten times, pointed twice, once
north and once south; jwniled any
where from 10 to 20 times, bowed
twice, jerked his cap down over his
eyes once, and chatted volubly at all
times—with Dr. Grayson and the se
cret servi.-e men who hemmed him
in like a hedge fence.
His arrival was attended by no
ceremony, and his departure was the
same, unless the spectacle of police
men clinging to the steps of the train
could be called something in the na
ture of a ceremony. Some thought i
might be a ceremony; others couldn
figure out just what it was.
of the Gulf of Mexico at 6:30 o’clock
to-day and found "Merry Christmas”
emblazoned around him everywhere.
It was cold and damp and the skies
were lead* n. but the crowd of natives
shouted at the President:
‘Wait until to-morrow and we’ll
show you some v^al gulf weather.”
The President and his family lef-
their private car at 9 o’clock and w ent
immediately to the “Winter White
House,” one mile up the beach, chris
tened "Beaulieu.” The home is owned
by Miss M. A. Herndon, who \tiil
have charge of it during the Presi
dent’s stay here.
Joe Murphy, the President’s secret
service man. who was sent to Pass
Christian in advance, brought word
to the Presidential party of the quaint
I’hristmas celebration that awaited
them here. He said they observed
Christmas with fireworks Instead of
holly and mistletoe, and have many
delightful French traditions for the
entire Yuletide. The President’s
cheery “Good morning” and “Merry
Christmas” found responsive echoes
in the cheers that went up on his ar
rival.
Representative Harrison, of Missis
sippi, who accompanied the Presiden
tial party from Washington, probably
will remain in Pass Christian
throughout the Christmas season. He
will see to it that the President is not
bothered with any business or poli
ticians of any kind until he is entirely
/willing to see them.
Pindell’s Nomination
Held Up Indefinitely,
But Will Go Through
WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.—The
nomination of Henry M. Pindell, of
Peoria, HI., to be Ambassador to
Russia, is held up indefinitely. The
correspondence between Representa
tive Stone and Mr. Pindell has not
yet been disclosed to the members of
the Senate subcommittee having the
Pindell case in charge, although Mr.
Pindell wired a release to Mr. Stone.
Senators Shivley and Burton, of the
subcommittee of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, left Wash
ington last night and do not expect
to return to the Capital before the
reassembling of Con gross. Senator
Stone, the other member of the sub
committee, is ill.
Despite delay, it is expected that
the Pindell nomination will go
through, the Senate deferring to the
wishes of President Wilson, who re
nominated Mr. Pindell even after the
Lewis-Pindell letters were published.
