Winthrop Ames Offers to Send
His Successes to Aid Stage
Uplift Move.
Continued From*Paqe 1.
cn of Atlanta who possess dramatic
talent There are many such, said
Mrs. Spiker. She named Miss Frances
Clarke, whom Percy Mackaye com
mended for her work n a production
of hi«r “Jeanne D'Arc;" Miss Dorothy
High, Miss Tinsley Harrison. Miss
Sarah Uovyles and others.
Besides this, a definite offer has
been made by Winthrop Ames, of the
Lit le Theater, to bring his company
in “Prunella" to Atlanta for one or
two weeks' performance, and Clinton
H. nil ton, prod net or of Mrs. Burnett’s
"Racketiv Pack** tty House." has an
nounced that he will bring the lead
ing juveniles of his company to At
lanta for a performance, their work
to be supplemented by that of pupils
in the private schools of Atlanta
All this certainly will be effected,
Mrs. Spiker said, if the league enlists
I, 00) members. She is hopeful that
this number will be secured. The
membership is 600. havrhg grown rap
idly during the last year.
The first activity of the new year !
will be the conference on Maurice I
Maeterlinck and “The Blue Bird." to
be held at the Atlanta Theater Tues
day afternoon, when Charles Hamp
den. stage director of the play, and
Miss Alice Butler, a member of the
cast, will be the principal lecturers.
Next week will begin a series of lec
ture readings by Benedict Papot. a
distinguished French student of the
drama, who will analyze and rea\3 the
contemporary French dramatists. The
league is endeavoring also to bring
George Pierce Baker, of Harvard
University, to Atlanta for a lecture
series.
Prevented by action of the Board of
Induration from working in co-opera
tion with the public schools, the
Drama League has enlisted the pri
vate schools, and in each institution
will produce a play this year, thinking
thus to develop the dramatic instinct
of the pupils. In all Its activities the
league will endeavor, as Mrs. Spiker
explained, to exploit the work of
Southern dramatists, whether prom
ising beginners or established suc
cesses.
A step toward attaining recogni
tion for Atlanta as the Southern
drama center will be a request to the
National Drama League that the At
lanta league be not forced to accept
the verdict of the national league on
theatrical productions, but that it be
authorized to issue its own bulletins
on plays that come this way.
"We are working in every way, you
see,” said Mrs. Spiker. "for the de
velopment of Southern initiative and
a Southern dramatic art.’'
The Atlanta league will continue
its series of readings^and analyses of
standard dramas, which last year at
tracted considerable interest, and
which did more than any other one
thing to swell the membership. The
league has three working depart
ments, governed by the junior, educa ;
tional and playgoing committees. Its
officers are .Mrs. W. C. Spiker. presi
dent; the Rev. W. W. Memminger,
Mrs Edward T. Brown, Mrs. R ohv .

“Gentlemen: In the winter of 1903 I had an
attack of Grippe, followed by Pneumonia, and
later by Lung Trouble. In the winter of 1904 I
had cough, night sweats, fever and raised quan-
, Lities of awful-looking stuff and later I had
many hemorrhages: at one time thrpe in three
successive days. Milk and eggs became so dis
tasteful I could keep nothing down. Three phy
sicians 'rested me. I was ordered to the moun
tains, hut did not go. Eckmau's Alterative was
recommended by a friend. After taking a small
quantity I had the first quiet night's sleep for
e* ks. M> improvement was marked from the
first. I gained strength and weight and appe
tite. 1 never had another hemorrhage anil my
cough gradually lessened until entirely gone. 1
am perfectly well.’*
