THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FULL OF SLANG; Big Situations Save Play Replete With Glaring Faults—Play house Is Crowded. By TARLETON COLLIER. The modern drama —a platitude with a punch. Sometimes that punch is delivered pacifically and the pa-' trons of the box office sniff. Some times it comes in a shouting series of “big moments,” and from orches tra to gallery there is enthusiasm Crudities ire foremen, faults are overlooked. That punch has stag gered popular criticism So it happened in “Within the I jaw.” which played to crowded houses at the Atlanta Christmas Day, afternoon and evening. The punch was there, written indelibly into the lines by the playwright ho that tiie veriest beginner of an actor could voice it after a fashion. Outside the big situations, there are glaring faults, crude contrasts, character de lineation attempted in single brusque, unsubtle strokes, and slang, slang, slang, ephemeral charivari, every where. Audience S*t Unblinking. But so forcibly did the punch strike when It came that the big audience sat unblinking through the lesser moments, apparently convincing it self that its anticipation of the com ing climax was really interest, and that its delight in the picturesque vernacular of (rooks and policemen was really an appreciation of con temporary conditions. Everybody talks in platitudinous epigrams, and you are flattered into feeling that you are k sly dog. indeed, so easily you grasp the quick-flung shafts of wit. Behold the modern drama! But so much talk of shortcomings is hardly fair to “Within the I jaw.” Probably with Its most capable inter pretation the keenest critic might sit through the four acts, actually and undeniably thrilled, and unable or un willing to point out a single fault. However, the performance that At lanta saw Christmas Day was not by far the most capable interpretation. And it was because the actors fell ehort of developing full possibilities that the undesirable qualities of Bay- 1 nrd Yelller’s “play of American life” ere presented. And if carping criticism is unfair to the play, so is a mediocre < ompany unfair, because “Within the Law” is undoubtedly one of the best of the up-to-the-minute school of contemporary punch-filled drama. It is an excellent melodrama that would he entertaining, to say the least, even in the hands of a party of actors much less capable than those who are at the Atlanta this week. Miss Joel in Heavy Part. .Miss (Mara Joel, the Mary Turner of the play, was at times equal to the demands of her exactingly heavy part, f ut for z figure of deep-dyed tragedy > a was rather nonchalant and smil ing now and then, when it seemed she unconsciously relaxed the strain of being Mary Turner. Miss Helen Vallely, who played Ag nes Lynch, the "sweet girl” crook, has a wonderful opportunity for clev er work Her lines made a great hit with the generous Christmas audi ences. A young man bearing the imposing name of Thomas Jefferson Evans played Richard (Rider, and a very oalpable hero he was. In fact, being too palpable was the one fault of the company, probably. Frank Kilday and T. M. Morris, playing Edward Gilder and Inspector Burke, physically are able to invest their parts with an appearance of icalism. Franklin (ieorge was pre vented by a painful stage bearing front being n pleasing Joe Garson, the wlelder of the silent revolver. “The H*uniing Melody” at Lyric.

"A Double Deceiver,” at the Lyric The ater next week will find a fascinating Spanish tune running through the play, which illustrates Cohan's idea. It is quite as pleasing to the ear ns the beautiful South American scenes of the new play are to the eye. It is ailed ‘‘Mi Lolita," and was written ♦ specially for “A Double Deceiver" by Otto Kruger, a talented member of Mr. Hackett's company, who plays the important part of Casa-Reales in the production. "Neptune’s Garden” Coming. A powerful act is this week head lining the bill of selected acts at the busy Forsyth. "Sergeant Bagby" is a story of Civil War veterans on Re union Day. when sdme very interest ing and entertaining events take place. A runaway couple also make their way Into the place, creating a bit of exciting diversion. The re maining acts which surround this headliner serve to make up a very good holiday entertainment. Next week the management will present one of the largest acts in vaudeville and one of the most expensive also, "Neptune's Garden." Many Wonderful Scenes. Among the wonderful spectacular scenes in “The Blue Bird" production at the Atlanta next week are the Land <>f Memory, the Fairy Herylune s Palace, tlie old churchyard, showing the trans formation of gravestones into flowers; the Kingdom of the Future, with its dazzling blue radiance of heaven, whence the unborn babies come; the soft- 1> lighted Land of Happiness, the weird Palace of Night, and Tyityl and Mytyl’s %'Atagt wnlch the fairy’s wand causes to glow with precious stones.

Ad- Recent agitation of a movement in Congress looking to the establishing of a new Federal Judgeship in Geor gia, which is a serious proposition, lias renewed t i.k of Congressman Hardwick’s fitness and availability for the nfllre. if it is created. Discussing the proposed new judge- ship, The Augusta Chronicle outlines its purposes thus: The bill calls for a “floating" Federal Judge in Georgia, who shall reside in Savannah, it was introduced in me House Friday by Representative Edwards. The measure embodies the ideas of the Savannah committee which set forth the draft and arguments for it following a visit to the Capital last summer. Judge Siit- uel B. Adams was chairman of the ommittee, which consisted of leading members dt the Savan nah bar. * The bill has not been agreed upon by the members of the Georgia delegation. Some want to divide the district, others seem more or less apathetic and some reserve their opinion. Ac tion seems hardly likely until the disposition of the Speer investi gation It is argued by Savannah in terests that the Georgia judges have more than they can handle, and th&t Savannah In particular needs more attention on account of its admiralty business. The bill provides that the third Judge shall hold the district courts in the Eastern Division of the Southern District, but that in addition he may be assigned to preside in any other division in either district in Georgia when ever the public interests may re quire. It is very well known that Presi dent Wilson feels a deep interest in Mr. HardwlcWr the Congressman from the Tenth District, and has urged him not to retire from the House at the end of his present term, as it has been suggested he m»’. Mr. Hardwick has never said defi nitely that he will*retire from Cqn- gre»s at the expiration of his present term of service, but it is well known that he desires to do that, If he may In Justice to his constituents. He has served in Congress about twelve years, at a genulno financial sacrifice -as most Congressmen do, as a mat ter of fact. Hardwick knows lie can double his Income, or more, practicing law, and that is the moving circum stance behind his proposed with* dra wal. J*resident Wilson, howev-er, will name Mr. Hardwick to practically any post he might ask, and it has been stated, with some degree of au thority, that the Congressman from the Tenth would like to be a Federal judge.

Governor Slaton will name a judgj of the Court of Appeals from South Georgia, to succeed Judge Robert Pot tle. who halls from that section. Judge Pottle wan appointed to the bench by Governor Slaton during the seventy-five days term that Slaton served as Acting Governor In succes sion to Governor Hoke Smith, and t•*? appointment was made by the then executive upon the theory that this position belongs to South Georgia, as a matter of falrnerss In the distribu tion of Judeal appontmenta Judges Russell and Roan hail from the upper end of the State, and the Governor thnks it nothing but right that the other judgeship, at leas’, should go to the lower end. It was rumored that Judge Samii" 1 . Bennett, of Albany, was to succeed Judge Pottle, and he was heavily in dorsed to the Govern but Judge Bennett has announced that he wi.l not accept the appointment, even if It were tendered, tfhd so that removes him from the list of possibilities. The Governor has not made up his mind as to Judge Pottle's successor, and will not give the matter particu larly serious thought until after h's resignation is in hand.

Williams, a tailor, who charges the robbery of his poek- etbook containing $40 to the trio in the course of an extensive and some what adventurous motor car drive Christmas afternoon.

The drfve itself was a pleasant affair, Williams said, until, on the way back to the city, he missed his wallet and the $40 it contained. Williams w*as uncertain which one of his hosts to accuse, but finally de cided oh Mrs. Clarke, who promptly flapped Him. This method of reciprocity aroused Williams’ anger, and as soon as the car leached the business district of the city he got out and telephoned the oolice.

Two years ago he was invited to conduct a series of lent meetings at Buckhead, and out of these meetings giew the enthusiasm that resulted in the formation of the church and the erection of the build ing.
