The feeling i? further intensified by
the continued arrivals of strikebreak

Representative members of the cit

Mr. and Mrs. Emory Winship Give Maeterlinck's Worthy Fairy Tale
Most Lavish Entertainment Well Received by Atlanta
in City’s History. Theatergoers.
MACON. Dec. 30.—The most lavish
social affair j n the history of Macon
was the dance given at the Dempsey
Hotel last night and this morning by
.Mr. and Mrs Emory Winship, of San
Francisco and Macon. It cost just
$8,000.
Two entire floors of the hotel were
renteej for the use of th# guests, who
numbered between 3(\p and 400. The
two ballrooms were also required. One
•orchestra played from 7 to 12, when
the banquet was served, and then an
other played until o o’clock this morn
ing, .when the dancers partook of
breakfast. The ballrooms were ex
quisitely decorated. There were 7,000
American Beauty roses, coating $1,800,
and orchids and rare flowers brought
from the North. Favors costing about
$10 each Were given the guests.
Intimations of the unprecedented
elegance or the affair had been given,
and last night immense crowds gath
ered about the Dempsey, hoping to
see, first hand, if the reports were
true. Macon society was represented
in full, and there were also a number
of out-of-town guests, among them
Mr. and Mrs. John r >. Little, of At
lanta.
The tango, the turkey trot, the Bos
ton dip, the bunny hug and .even the
old-fashioned waltz and two-step
were on the program. A bewildering
variety of chatnpange and other int-ox -
icating beverages flowed freely all
night, and the guests departed with
the coming of dawn somewhat sleepy,
but in a jolly good humor.

Miss Macvane, Once Trailed as
Spy, Has Just One Adventure
After Another,
TARANTA. ITALY, Dec. 30.—Life
in sunny Italy is, to Miss Dorothy
Alastair Macvane, just one adveiiture
after another. She is to-day frying
to straighten out her difficulties with
a man whom she accuses of black
mail, as well as trying to recover her!
furs and jewels from a manager who |
has attached them.
This unpleasant experience closely j
follows the surveillance of the Italian '
authorities, who suspected Miss Mac- j
vane of being a spy, ancl that followed ;
other events with managers and oth
ers that stretch out ‘over the ten
years since Miss Macvane left the j
classic shades of Harvard to go in the j
chorus of comic opera, whence she 1
gravitated to the position of a star |
of real opera.
Miss Macvane is the daughter of i
Professor Silas M. Macvane, of liar- !
yard, who is in Europe on indefinite j
leave with his daughters—Edith, who
writes; Emily, who is the wife of
Baron DePlacy, a French army offi
cer, and Dorothea, who is occupying
much attention in Italy on account of j
her present and recent troubles.
Rose From the Chorus.
Dorothea Macvane went rapidly 1
from the chorus to the main dressing !
room and the leading role. She was I
a gay and light-hearted young re- ;
cruit when, in 1904, her chum, Lillian I
Carleton, cabled that she had mar
ried William P. Orr and got back the
message. “Lil, you're a fool.’’
Then she settled down and began to
study in Paris. She learned parts for j
’ Lucia.” “Traviata.” ‘Don PaSquale,”
“Rigoletto” and ‘‘Bpheme,’ and made (
her debut in Rome. As a singer she !
was well received, and w’hen an Ital- |
ian manager made some remark about
the inability of Americans to live up
to their contracts she got out of bed
and carried a case of typhoid fever, I
temperature 108. to the opera house, i
where she sang Mimi in “La Bo-
heme” under the intense strain of;
her illDess. That game bit of work
gave he% much notice.
A few weeks ago she went to Ta-
ranta to fill an engagement at an
opera house. Taranta does not boast
any metropolitan prices, and the na- I
vai officers wondered how a woman
singing in an opera that could not
possibly pay any large wages etfuld
afford diamonds, furs and other
things that a real French maid kept
in shape for Miss Macvane.
Charges Blackmail Plot.
So they concluded that she was a
spy. making photographs of the
masked fortifications at Taranta and
Brindisi for the Russian Government.
It took a protest from Thomas Nelson
Page. American Ambassador, to free
her from this annoyance, and then
came the troublp with her Taranta
manager. He claimed that she had
broken her contract with him, and at
tached her furs and jewels.
Miss Macvane charges that an Ital
ian journalist came to her and de
manded $2,000 for the suppression of
a defamatory article based upon this
new turn of affairs, and she asked for
his arrest.

The performance of "The Blue

even the dullest perception.
The story of "The Rlue Bird," how
Mityl and Tyltyl go forth in search
of the blue bird of happiness, accom
panied by the embodied spirits of the
household articles, is pretty well
known. Burford Hampden and Edi-
tha Kelly, as tile two children, are
ambitious youngsters, but fall a bit

They have fanciful adventure-.
Stars and fairies and the Hours and

turn. It is fitting that the women
of the company should be beautiful.
Everywhere there are children,
some of them very tiny tots. ,The
tiniest ones were the greatest favor

"The Blue Bird" will be at the At

Forsyth Bill of
Exceptional Merit.
“Neptune’s Garden.” the feature uf
the week's bill at the Forsyth Theater,
is all it was proclaimed—a speetae«i-
lar pantomimic illusion. Its story in
terpreted In dancing and lugubrious
music, with marble white staues that
come to life at every shriek of a har
assed maiden, and that dive with all
the precision of a Piedmont Park
champion into a pool yawning at cen
ter stage. And having dived, the
charming Galateas remain under the
water. Hence the illusion.
Of course, there is an answer, ur
what's the use of explaining a per-
fe< tly good mystery that otherwise
will mystify an entire week of audi
ences. It is enough to say that tills
top-notch act of the week’s show is
about the most elaborate feat tha
local vaudeville has known—elaborate
and pretty in every detail, particu
larly In the grace and intrepidity with
which the shapely Nereids dive!
The bill for New Year's week wel :
deserves the crowds that poured into
the theater at two performances Mon
day, rain Monday, jamming the foy
er until even standing room was at a
premium.
For one thing there is enough of
good dancing for once. Besides the
terpischorean element in the pool spec
tacle there are the Gliding O’Meara -,
whilqm instructors of society in

Hackett’s Troupe Gets
! Ovation at Lyric.
What is intended Shall be a sea
son of high-class stock, giving At
lanta Opportunity to see interpreted
by a splendid company the. best plags
obtainable, was opened auspiciously
at the Lyric Monday night when
Norman Hackett and his capable
players presented The Double De
ceiver." an entertaining comedy-dra
ma founded on O. Henry’s famous
^.fnrv A Double-Dyed Deceiver.”
Mr. Hackett was not greeted with
deserved attendance, by any means,
but many of his old friends were
present, and he was given a very cqt-
dial reception. The presence 9 the
cast of Mrs. Ransom Wright, the tal
ented society actress, and a leader in
Hie Atlanta Flayers’ t’lub, added to
the interest of the opening perform
ance. There were curtain calls, of
course, the usual boquets. and even
a little speech by Mr Hackett. air
of which helped make the occasion
more or less happy.
“The Double Deceiver” never was
destined to become a raging dramatic
lilt, but it is made fairly likeable by
the splendid work of .Mr Hackett and
his associates. Extremely pretty
stage settings also aid materially.
Mr. Hackett has a role that suits
him admirably. Miss Ilka-Marie
Diehl, a- the sweetheart, has much
talent. The others of the company
are capable, Herbert Fortier, not un
known ;o Atlanta theatergoers, being
especially good as an American Con
sul.
Mrs. 'lanaorn Wright, who appeal
only as a Spanish girl in the pro
logue. does a bit of dancing cleverly
and a small emotional part splen
didly.
’ The Double Deceiver" will be the
hill throughout the week, with the
usual Lyric matinees.
All Holiday Goods
Were Well Sold Out
Marshall Field & Co.. In their weekly
review ©f the dry good* trade, says:
“The volume of mail orders received
during the last few days preceding
Christinas was in excess of the totals
for the corresponding days a year ago.
This Is remaraable, considering the ex
tremely unseasonable weather during
that time.
“The numerous mail carders may be in
terpreted as an indication that the gen
era! distribution of holiday goods was
larger than a year ago, inasmuch as the
sales of heavy wearing apparel were be
low normal
“The increase of last minute orders
also seemed to indicate that holiday
stocks throughout the territory adjoin
ing Chloago were well sold opt.”
