“Happy Hooligan.”
That effervescent dlspeller 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
have te bf£n rS i a , n , d P a,r °ns of "the "Lyric
thii b looking forward eagerly to

President Woodrow Wilson was in
Atlanta late Wednesday afternoon.
He came In at 4:55 In a special train
of four cars, carrying his private
physician, Dr. Cary Grayson. 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 gel
some rest, after his strenuous work
on the currency 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; smiled 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 aud the se
cret service men who hemmed him
in like a hedge fence.
His arrival was attended by no
ceremony, and his departure wan 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 11
might be a ceremony; others couldn’t
figure out just what It was.
Pass Christian G-reets
President Wilson.
PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS., Dec. 25.
President Wilson arrived in this
quaint French hamlet on the shores
I to-day and ’’Merry Chrlsinm." Pilldell’S NomiliatiOIl
I emblazoned around him everywhere.
It was cold and damp and the skies
i were leaden, but the crowd of natives
J shouted at the President:
“Wait until to-morrow and we’ll
show' you some real gulf weather.’’
The President and his family left
their private err at 9 o'clock and went
Immediately to the "Winter White
House,” one mile up the beach, chris
tened “Beaulieu.” The home ls owned
Miss M. A. Herndon, who will
have charge of it during the Presl
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
Christmas 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 Ilarrlson, of Missis
sippi, who accompanied’the Presiden
tial party from Washington, probably
will remain in Pass Christian
throughout the Christmas season. He
w ill see to it that the President Is not
bothered with any business or poli
ticians of any kind until he ls entirely
willing to see them.
