8 Big Situations Save Play Replete With Glaring Faults—Play house Is Crowded. By TARLETON COLLIER. The modern drama—a platitude with a punch. Sometime* 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 I aw,” 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, unsubtip strokes, and slang, slang, slang, ephemeral charivari, every where Audience S*t Unblinking. Rut so forcibly did the punch striks when It came thai 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 1n 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 ate a sly dog. Indeed, so easily you grasp the quick-flung shafts of wit. Behold the modern drama! Rut 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 faiMt. 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 Yeiller'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 be 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 Jo-1, the Mary Turner of the play, was at times actual to the demands of her exactingly heavy part. Hut for a figure ot doop-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 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 came of Thomas Jefferson Evans played Richard Gilder, and a very palpable hero h© 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 Hurke, physically are able to invest 1 heir parts with an appearance of realism. Franklin George was pre vented bv a painful stage bearing from being a pleasing Joe Garson, the wielder of the silent revolver. Simughts on GEORGIA POLITICS • JAMES B-NEYIH 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 talk of Congressman Hardw ick’s fitness and availability for the office. 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 rne 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 Iasi summer. Judge Sam uel 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 ihe members of the Georgia delegation. Some want to divide the district, others seem more or less apathetic and some reserve their opinion. Ac-, tlon seems hardly likely until the disposition of the Speer invest!- gat ion. It is argued by Savannah in terests that the Georgia Judges have more than they «an 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 front 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 is 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 been 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 1n Washing ton that Mr. Hardwick may have Judge Speer’s position, whftn that Judge retires, and now it is being ru mored that he may have the proposed new Judgeship, 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, the Governor's pri vate secretary, now that he has join ed the ranks of the Benedicts. Perry is genuinely popular—is real ly a “good fellow,” and numbers his friends Just inside the limit of his acquaintance. Everybody will wish both Mr. and Mrs. Perry a large measure ot happi ness all through life. Old Clayt Robson, of Milledgeville, 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 vear he has played the part of the whiskered and merry old saint to something like five or six score of people—and when he gets through with the Milledgeville 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 'he 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 fairnerss in the distribu tion of Judral appontments 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 Samuel Bennett, of Albany, was to succeed Judge Pottle, and he was heavily .\- dorsed to the Govern r, but Judge Bennett has announced that he wi l 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. ‘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 Winecoff 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.

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 which wit ness Norman Hackett’s great play, "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 1* is quite as pleasing to the ear as the beautiful South American scenes of the new play are to the eye.

CONVICTS CIST Dinner and Vaudeville Delight U. S. Prisoners—Three Are Rewarded With Parole, 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 the 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 Christmas 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 :.he prison year, and especial prepara 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 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 first 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 billed as “a routin’, tootin’, shoutin’” farce in one act and 1 wo 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 anu the other good things that grace a Christmas boar I. Three men were paroled 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 rins ing in their ears.
