“The Blue Bird” at the Atlanta.
The Atlanta is offering the moat
beautiful and joyous play of the sea
son this week in "The Blue Bird,” the
famous Maeterlinck fantasy. The
original New Theater cast and pro
duction is appearing in the play, and
the reception accorded the opening
nights was such that it bids fair to
set a new record for attendance
crowds have been in line aimos'
every minute of the time the box of
fice has been open. Matinees will be
played New Year’s Day and Satur
day. Atlanta critics say, "See ‘The
Blue Bird,’ for k is by far the best
play of the season, and appeals more
to grown-ups than to youngsters, de
spite the fascination it has for the
latter,”
"Big Run'- on Forsyth.
Thousands of seats have been sold
for the remaining performances this
week at the Forsyth where the best of
all vaudeville shows ever presented to
a local audience is smashing every
patronage record the theater has regis
tered. It appears that standing room
will be at a premium at each of the
remaining matinee and evening per
formances. The regular patrons of the
Forsyth are being crowded by a mul
titude of people who are making their
first visit to the theater, attracted by
what they have heard about the won
derful performance. It starts with the
best comedy gymnastic act that the the
ater has offered; then comes an enter
taining singing trio, followed by the
Gliding O’Mearas, who do a waltz, a
prance and a trot.’ The "Dancing Duo”
show some new dancing stunts and win
bows. Then comes a black face com-
ery act. the offering of Willard and
Bond, followed by one of the hits of the
season the contribution of George Mc
Kay and Ottie Ardine. and then Kfop
tune's Gardens, the biggest hit of the
year.
O. Henry Story at Lyric.
Norman Hackett and his company
have been welcomed to Atlanta with
open arms, and the Lyric is becoming
a vastly popular place of amusement
The opening bill of the stock season is
"The Double Deceiver," a play taken
from O. Henry’s story of that title. It
was the piece used this season by Mr
Hackett on his tour of the high-priced
theaters and it has been indorsed by
all of the critics in the East and the
Southwest, while in Atlanta it lias been
given the indorsement of the local crit
ics and the hearty applause of three
large audiences.
Grana Attendance Small.
“The Volunteer Organist,” m eight
magnificent reels of motion pictures,
will be the attraction all this week at
the Grand The picture was shown for
the first time at the matinee and night
exhibitions on Monday to possibly the
smallest attendance that has ever been
noted in the Grand. On Tuesday the
attendance was nearly encouraging, and
for the rest of the week there should
be sufficient patronage to encourage the
management to continue the presenta
tion of worth-while pictures. In New
York and the other large cities "The
Volunteer Organist” has proven to he
one of the successful photo-plays of the
season, and for that reason was brought
to Atlanta to start its Southern tour.
“A Slave of the Mill.”
The Jewell Kelley Company is scor
ing another hit this week at the Bijou
with the sterling melodrama. “A Slave
• >f the Mill,” which tel s a story of la
bor and capital. The play is undoubt
edly one of the most interesting and
splendidly produced that has been of
fered by the stock company during its
nineteen weeks’ engagement, and goo.
judgment was exercised in the selec
tion of this play for the farewell week
of this company at the Bijou. For next
week the management of the Bijou an
nounces a new company headed by Ed
die Black, who returns to the city with
his own compan" and with a splendid
line of plays. His first offering wUl be
"Tb# Village (’arson.”
Bv JAMES B. NEVIN.
Augusta Is very happy over a pros
pective visit from former President
Taft, who expects to spend several
weeks during April at the Bon Air
Hotel, out in the Sandhills district.
Augusta is genuinely fond of the
former Chief Magistrate of the na
tion, and its affection Is abundantly
and enthusiastically returned.
Mr. Taft makes no bones of saying,
at any old time and in any old place,
that he had rather visit in Augusta
than anywhere he knows of on this
earth! He likes Augusta frankly be
cause Augusta makes “home folks” of
him, and always has, even when h?
was the President. He is treated with
all the dignity and consideration his
distinguished position before the na
tion entities hipi to, but there is
never anything strained or stilted
about the reception he gets in Au
gusta or the cordiality of his contin
uous welcome while there.
It is for that same reason that John
D. Rockefeller gets so much pleasure
from his annual visits to Augusta.
The Oil King has said that he likes
Augusta because the natives of that
burg never seem mindful of the fa.'t
that he Is Mr. Rockefeller. He is per
mitted to ramble around town as h*
likes, to drop in on a neighbor to pass
the time o’ day, or into a shop to buy
a necktie, and nobody pays any par
ticular attention to him, save by way
of courteous and not at all ostenta- j
tious salutation or reciprocal line of
talk.
Concerning Mr. Taft's forthcoming
visit The Augusta Chronicle says: “It
was understood some time ago that
Mr. Taft would spend his wMnter va
cation in Augusta, but. we believe,
prior to this It was not definitely
known just when he was to come, it
is needless to say that there will be in
Augusta, by all ^ugustans. for Mr.
Taft the warmest kind of a welcome.
In truth, as he would put it himself.
h*‘ is ‘coming hon e’ to spend n forl-
j night or so with the 'home folk.’”
Another test prohibition case is
coming to the .Supreme ,’ourt. from
Savannah, and upon Its disposition
will depend a very great deal of the
future of prohibition law enforcement
In Georgia.
Three licensed near-beer dealers in
Savannah, recently restrained fr mi
“selling intoxicating liquors, which is
prohibited by law" ha\e been held to
be In x ontemp* of court by Judge
Charleton, of the Juperior Court, f >r
violating that injunction, and flneu
$200 each.
These cases will now' come on to
the court of review, for that high
body to say whether a judge may pat*
finally upon matters of fact in this
manner, or whether it is necessary for
a Jury to say that the Injunction has
been violated.
If Judge Charleton is sustained by
t’.e court of review, it will mean a big
victory for the prohibitionists. If. *»’i
the contrary, he is reversed and 1 ''id
to be without authority to say when,
as a matter of fact, a defendant *s
i guilty of having violated the prohibi
tion law, unless a jury pass upon the
facts, it will be hailed as a big victory
for those persons mnosed to extreme
prohibition in Georgia.
In the light of some recent deci
sions. the impression among lawyers
generally is that the Savannah judge
likely will he reversed, but the ques
tion now coming up from his court is
shaped not exactly after a similar
fashion to (hose cases heretofore
ruled upon.
Representative J. O. Adams, of Hal',
Is in Atlanta for a few days.
Mr. Adams serving his second
term as a member of the Legislature
from Hall County, a ad likely will be
j returned to ‘he next House. He has
j been mentioned prominently for C »n-
: gress in his district, bi t. he declares
j his ambitions d > not run in that di-
i reetion. Indeed, he is more or ’ess
I reluctant to stand for the Horse
again, but his constituents seem to
| feel that his place would he hard to
! fill satisfactorily, and pressure has
I ben brought to bear upon him to the
lend that he mav be re-elected, an i
| probably without opposition.
Mr. Adams is a practicing attorney
I in Gainesville, and his services in th<
j Legislature annually involve a consid
erable financial sacrifice upon his part.
If Warren Grice, of HawKinsviiK*,
isn’t appointed judge of the Court of
Appeals to succeed Judge Pottle, it
will not be because he has not had
enthusiastic and influential friends
working for him in Atlanta. One of
the biggest delegations appearing in
any candidate’s interest went before
j the Governor in Mr. Grice's behalf
I Tuesday, headed by “Billie’’ Wooten.
‘ of Albany. The Governor gave this
| delegation a perfectly respectful hear
ing. but when last heard from still
i was saw r ing wood.
And. ihen, there is Candidate Wade,
of Dublin. The Governor Is oblig«.o
to have him very rnu~l» In mind, be
cause they are lifelong friends and
were roommates at college a mighty
strong tie, and particularly with a
man like the Governor.
And. then, once more, there is Judge
Sellers, of Baxley, and Judge
And, besides. Judge Pottle hasn't
yet sent in his resignation!
Judge Augustus W. Fite, militant and
aergressive as ever, has been taking a
hand In the row now on in Griffin look
ing to the enactment of a “blue sky”
near-beer license law in that metrop
olis.
The Judge made ’em a speech down
there Tuesday night that Is said to
have been the real thing. He Is a good
speaker and possesses In abundance
that quality of oratory the newspaper
boys call “the punch!” “The punch.”
nevertheless, is nothing that comes
within the proscription of the State
wide prohibition law his honor Is as
sured c? that.
Judge Fite hurried back to Carters-
viile to-day after hesitating temporarily
In the Kimball House lobby, where he
also has a few real nifty fights of one
sort and another on his hands.
There is one thing about Judge Fite

NEW YORK, Deo 31. A lively de
mand for December by shorts who had
to lake up their contracts to-day was
the chief feature at the opening of the
cotton market. As a result December
option after opening 10 points down,
advanced immediately after the call to
last night's close. First prices were
from 3 to 10 points lower on near
months and from unchanged to f» points
higher on distant positions. Wall street
and New Orleans bought.
Liverpool cables were better than
due.
On and after the call there whs no
significance to trading. transactions
were smau and the market looked to
be only an evening-up affair, pending
the holiday to-morrow. There was a
fair demand from spot houses, however,
though there was a disposition on the
part of ring speculators to sell on all
rallies and at the end of half an hour
the list stood 1 to 7polnts lower than
the opening quotations. Later active
buying by spot sources and scattered
covering by shorts caused prices to
rally 6 to 7 points above the previous
close.

000 bales.
"On the face of the returns spot
houses gave real evidence of business
acumen when they absorbed the hulk
of the New York stock yesterday. Much
of that stock is desirable cotton, and
the New York January contract has for
some time been recognised by the trade
as the cheapest cotton In the world.
“Holiday dullness. In conjunction with
apparently confident predictions of lower
values and the insistence with which the
hears claim there exists a long interest,
which will likely be liquidated prior to
Bureau Day, stands as a harrier to bull
ish enterprise. In the end. however, the
statistical position of cotton should dom
inate the markets.
“Estimates of the season's consump
tion are being Increased, but as yet
nothing has occurred to Induce the ma
jority of conservative men to increase
their commercial crop ideas above 14.-
250,000 bales.”

opening to-day, but at the end of half
an hour’s trading the important rail
roads and industrials were generally
higher Home of the specialties were
strong, notably American Ice. which ad
vanced 1% to 24 Reading was in good
demand, selling up to 169% for the gain
of 1 point. United States Steel common
gained % and a fractional gain was
made by Canadian Pacific, despite the
fact that this issue was hammered in
London.
All the early trading was done by
professionals. Some traders thought
that the department store failures yes
terday would affect the market, but any
effect felt from this quarter was negli
gible .
Among the other advances were New
Haven. %; Missouri Pacific, Norfolk
and Western,
The losses included United States
Rubber, % ; Southern Pacific, %: Union
Pacific, %; Chesapeake ami Ohio, %;
Northern Pacific. %.
Erie began unchanged, then gained %.

DECEMBER WHEAT
SHORTS SQUEEZED
Pit Thrown Into Panic When the
Expiring Month Jumps
2 1-2 Cents Bushel.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Wheat opened
strong, due more to lack of offerings
than to any general buying. There was
a fair trade in December corn, causing
an advance of % of a cent early. At this
level there ueerned to be plenty for sale
A reaction followed that carried values
under yesterday s finish.
Oats were a little tight, but the mar
ket acted in sympathy with other
grains
Provisions were steady.
