The modem drama—a platitude
with a punch. Sometlnn^a that punch
Is delivered pacifically and the pa -
irons of the box office sniff,
time's it iomt*8 in a .nh>uting series
of ’‘big moments," and from orchee-
tia to gallery there is enthusiasm
crudities are forgotten* faults are
overlooked That punch has stag
gered popular criticism
So it huppenod in “Within the
Uw," which played txi crowded
houses at the Atlanta Christmas Day,
afternoon and evening. The punch
was there, written indeJfbly Into the
ines by the playwright so that the
veriest beginner of an actor could
voice it after a fashion. Outside the
big situation*, there are glaring
faults, crude contrast*, character de
lineation attempted In single brusque,
unsubtle strokes, and slang, slang,
slang, ephemera] charivari, every
where.
Audience Set Unblinking.
Rut 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 reaQy 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 aly 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 Law'.”
Probably with its most capable inter
pretation the keenest critic might sit
Through the four acta, actually and
undeniably thrilled, and unable or un
willing to point out a single fault.
However, the performance that At
lanta saw t’hristmas Day vena not by
far the most capable Interpretation.
And it was because tlie 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 Ls 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 t’lara Joel, the Mary Turner
of the play, was at times equal to the
demands of her exactingly heavy part.
But for ft figure of deep-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
name of Thomas Jefferson Evans
plaved Richard Gilder, and a very
palpable hero he was. In fact, being
too palpable was the one fault of the
i ompany. probably.
Frank Kilday and T. M Morris,
playing Edward Glider and Inspector
Burke, physically are able to Invest
their parts with an appearance of
realism Franklin George was pre
vented by a painful stage bearing
from being a pleasing Joe Garson,
the wielder of the silent revolver.
"The Haunting Melody" at Lyric.
When George (Johan wrote “The
Haunting Melody" he expressed ably
In a song the power of a little air to
linger In one s memory and haunt hla
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.
It is quite as pleasing to the ear as
the beautiful South American scenes
of the new play are to the eye. It is
celled “Ml Lolita,” and was written
‘specially for “A Double Deceiver"
by Otto Kruger, a talented member of
Mr Hocketts company, w’ho plays
the important part of Casr.-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 Ragby” 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
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 rresent
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
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
the unborn babies come; the soft
ly lighted I^and of Happiness, the weird
Palace of Night, and Tyltyl and Mytyl s
Cottage, which the fairy’s wand causes
to glow with precious stones On the
construction of these scenes a fortune
was spent by the director* of the New
Theater. New York. They will bo
brought here in their entirety, with all
the pantomime and “trick” Illusions for
which the play is famous.
“Happy Hooligan,”
To accommodate the many patrons
of the Lyric who were not fortunate
enough to secure seats for Christmas
matinee, the management of the I.vric
announces 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 w eek should prove one
V * '■^ost successful of the year.
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 la created.
Discussing the proposed new'Judge-
Some i 8 hlp. The Augusta Chronicle outlines
‘ its purposes thus;
The bill culls 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
tie! 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. Rome 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 investl-
gat ion
It is argised 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 Gongressman 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 ms*".
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 tw’elve
years, at a genuine financial sacrifice
as most Congressmen do, ns 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*
d rawul.
President Wilson, however, will
name Mr. Hardwick to practically
any post lie might ask. and it has
been stated, with some degree of au
thority, that the Congressman from
the Tenth would like to bo a Federal
Judge
It Is an open secret in Washing
ton that .Mr Hardwick may have
Judge Speer's position, when that
Judge retires, and now it is being ru
mored that lie may have the proposed
new Judgeship, if it is created and he
wishes It.
Mr. Hardwick is syi able lawyer and
is fully equal to the assignment. If
the President should make it.

Governor Slaton will name a judg.^
or the Court of Appeals from South
Georgia, to suc ceed 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 Iloke Smith, and the
appointment was made by the then
executive upon the theory that this
position belongs to South Georgia, as
n matter of fairnerss in the distribu

Judges Russell and Roan hail from

Governor thnks it nothing but right
that the other judgeship, at leas*,
should go to the lower end.

Bennett has ann< unced that be wi I

The Governor has not made up his
mind as to Judge Pottle’s successor,
and will not give the matter particu

resignation is in hand.
