THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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 are forgotten, faults are overlooked. That punch has stag gered popular criticism. So it happened in "Within the Law,” 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 so that the 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 <harlvari, every where. Audience Sat Unblinking. But so forcibly did the punch strike when it came that tho 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 crooks and policemen /was really an appreciation of con temporary conditions. Everybody talks in platitudinous epigrams, and you are flattered into feeling that you are a sly dog. Indeed, so easily you grasp th** quick-flung shafts of wit. Behold the modern drama! But so much talk of shortcomings is hardly fair to “Within the Law/' 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 short of developing full possibilities that the undesirable qualities of Bay ard Veiller’s “play of American life' are presented. And if carping criticism is unfair to the play, so is a mediocre company unfair, because "Within the Law" is undoubtedly one of the best of the up-to-the-minute school of ■ on temporary punch-filled drama. It is an excellent melodrama that would i»e entertaining, to say the least, even in the hands of a party of actors much less capable than those who are •it the Atlanta tills week. M'ss Joel in Heavy Part. Miss t’lara Joel, the Mary Turner 'if the play, was at times equal to the demands of her exaotlnglv heavy part But for a figure of deop-dyed tragedy she was rather nonchalant and smil ing now and then, when It seemed she unconsciously relaxed the strain of being Mary Turner. Miss Helen Vallel.v. who played Ag nes Lynch, the “sweet girl" crook, has a wonderful opportunity for clev er work. Her lines made a groat hit with tjTc generous Christmas audi ences. A. young man bearing the imposing name of Thomas Jefferson Evans played Richard Gilder, and a very tillable hero he was. In fact, being too palpable was the one fault of the company, probably. Frank Hilday and T. M. Morris, playing Edward Gilder and Inspector Burke, physically are able to Invest their parts with an appearance of realism. Franklin George was pre vented by a painful stage hearing from being a pleasing Joe Garson, the wielder of the silent revolver. "TH© Haunting Melody” at Lyric. When George Cohan wrote “The Haunting Melody" he expressed ably in a song the power of a little air to linger In one’s memory and haunt his very soul. The audiences w'hioh wit ness Norman Hackett's great play, “A Double I>eceiver." at the Lyric The ater next week will find a fascinating Spanish tune running through the play, which illustrates Cohan’s idea. !» Is quite as pleasing to the ear as the beautiful South American scones of the new play are to the eye. It is ailed “Mi Lolita," and was written especially for “A Double Deceiver" b\ 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 some very interest ing and entertaining events take place. A runaway couple also make their wav Into the place, creating a l it 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 me 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 of Memory, the Fairy Berylune's Palace, the old churchyard, showing the trans formation of gravestones into flowers, the Kingdom of the Future, with its dazzling blue radiance of heaven, whence ♦ he unborn babies come; the soft ly lighted Land of Happiness, the weird Palace of Night, and Tyltyl and Mytyl s C Mage, which the fairy's wand causes to glow with precious stones On the construction of th: se scenes a fortune was* spent by the directors of the New heater, New fork. They will u brought h‘»re In their entirety, with all ihe pantomime and “trick'' illusions for which the play is famous “Happy Hooligan/’ To ac onunodate the many patrons of the Lyric who were not fortunate enough to secure seats for Christmas matinee, the management of the Lyric announce.** an extra matinee perform ance Friday afternoon at the usual house prices. “Happy Hooligan" and his splendid fun makers have scored heavily this week at the Carnegie way theater, and, judging from the advance sale for the remaining per formances, the week should prove one of tha most successful of the year. SIDELIGHTS GI0RG1A POLITICS iiY jamis b.nivim Recent agitation of a movement in Congress looking to the establishing of a new Federal judgeship in Geor gia, which is a serious proposition, has renewed ta'.k of Congressman Hardwick’s fitness and availability for the office, If it 1s 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 tne 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 Svn* tiei B Adams was chairman of the committee, which consisted of leading members of 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 that 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 Hardwick, 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 Con gress 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 genuine financial sacrifice —as most Congressmen do, as a mat ter of fact. Hardwick knows he can double his Income, or more, practicing law, and that Js the moving circum stance behind his proposed with drawal. President Wilson, however, will name Mr, Hardwick to practically any post he might ask, and it has hern stated, with some degree of au thority, that the Congressman from the Tenth would like to be a Federal judge. It is an open secret in Washing- ‘Newlyweds' Throng Atlanta Hostelries; 14 Pairs Here Xmas Away up on Mount Olympus Christmas night Dan Cupid must have grinned his pleasure and Hymen ordered up another bottle of Nectar to drink the health of Atlanta as "The Mecca of the Honeymooners." for the signatures of fourteen bridal couples from seven States graced the registers of the WinecotT and Ansley Hotels Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, more victims of the bow and ar row and the marriage license clerk than have ever before been registered at Atlanta hotels the same time.

If it is created and he wishes it. Mr. Hardwick is an able lawyer and Is fully equal to the assignment, If the President should make it. Congratulations and very best wishes will be extended from hun dreds of Georgians in public life to Jesse G.

Perry is genuinely popular—Is real ly a “good fellow,” and numbers his friends just inside the limit of hie aequo inta nee. Everybody will wish both Mr. and Mrs. Perry a large measure or happi ness all through life. Old Clayt Robson, of Milledgevilie. who knows more folks in Georgia than most, anybody, has temporarily quit his usual place of abode in At lanta, and has forsaken the wilds of the Kimball House for "the old folks at home" during the holidays. Clayt Robson is an institution around and about Atlanta, and Is never happier than when playing Santa Claus to somebody This year he has played the part of the whiskered and merry old saint to •ome.hing like five or six score of people and when he gets through with the Milledgevilie contingent he will have swelled the total several score more. Governor Slaton will name a judge of the Court of Appeals from South Georgia, to succeed Judge Robert Pot tle. who hails from that section. Judge Pottle was 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 the 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 Judcal appontments. Judges Russell and Roa* hall from the upper end of the State, and the Governor thnks It nothing but right that the other judgeship, at least, should go to the lower end. It was rumored that Judge Samuel Bennett, of Albany, was to succeed Judge Pottle, and he was heavily in dorsed to the Govern r, but Judge Bennett has announced that he wi 1 not accept the appointment, even if it were tendered, and 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 his resignation Is in hand.

Williams, a tailor, w ho charges the robbery of his pock- etbook containing $40 to the trio in the course of an extensive and some what adventurous motor car drive Christmas afternoon. Two of the women, Mrs. May Logan and Mrs. Carrie Clarke, of No. 402 Whitehall street, were arrested at th* 1 termination of the drive, when Wil liams ordered the chauffeur to hold the car while he telephoned to head quarters, lie having missed his pock- etbook on the return drive. The third woman, with whom Wil liams was waiking when the other two, in the machine, stopped and in vited them to join the party left the car and disappeared while Williams was telephoning the police.

The drive 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*was uncertain which one of his hosts to accuse,.but Anally de cided ori Mrs. Clarke, who promptly slapped him.

(’barges of disorderly conduct were made against the two women who re mained to be arrested. One of them had $50 in bills, but Williams’ pocket- book was not found. Dinner and Vaudeville Delight U. S, Prisoners—Three Are Rewarded With Parole. Boy Hunter Drowns As Leaky Boat Sinks FITZGERALD, Dec. 25.—Woodson Johnson, of this city, a youth about 15 years of age, was drowned In the Ocmulgoe River near Bow'ens Mill, where he had gone with companions to hunt squirrels. The information that has reached here is that the boys attempted to cross the river In a leaky boat and when about midstream the boat sank. Young Johnson was not able to swim out. However, his companions escaped. In the midst of the clanging of iron doors, the sharp commands of the guards and the multitudinous tasks with which they are confront ed. the sorrows of Friday are for gotten by the convicts of the Atlanta Federal prison in the thought of 'he joys of Thursday, the greatest day they have known since their impris onment. The humdrum, oppressive existence of the prison has been up lifted by the Christma* spirit. The 900 convicts had a real Christ mas celebration. For years Warden Moyer has exerted every effort to make Christmas the gala day of the prison year, and especial prepara- j tions were made that the men might know something of the joys of Yule- tide. The celebration continued from 9:30 in the morning until late in the afternoon, and the spirit of the day took wrinkles from the 900 faces and loads of sorrow from the 900 hearts, and made them forget they were con victs and remember only that it was Christmas Day. During the morning talent select- j ed from the convict rolls gave a vaudeville performance that was de cidedly clever, under the direction of Frederick Clayton, a prisoner. The show opened with a minstrel fir9t part, in which all the characters were convicts. Half a dozen soloists en livened the show, assisted by an en semble of voices. Charles Berger gave a Hebrew monologue, Frederick Clayton drew some clever cartoons and Mitchell Sampson was excellent in songs and dances. Howard Hobos delighted the music lovers with his cornet solo, the Toreador song from "Carmen." The show closed with a sketch hilled as “a routin’, tootin’, shoutin'” farce in one act and two scenes, entitled "In the Days of ’49,” a skirt based on the adventures of a stranded actor in the Far West. During the afternoon an elaborate feast was served, the menu including roast turkey, dressing and gravy, mashed potatoes and the other good things that grace a Christmas boar i. Three men were paroied during the day—two short-term men and a lifer. They were told of their freedom dur ing the performance in the morning, and left the hall forever, with the cheers of their fellow-prisoners ring ing in their ears.
