If you have been, are, or an
ticipate being a patron of the
Piedmont Theater, don’t miss the
show which is being offered the
last half of this week. It ig the
strongest, best bhalanced perfor
mance seen on that stage in its
young life.
Every act is worthy of sgpecial
mention. From the time the two
dainty Melroy sisters step before
the foctlights until the five Greg
oryvs gather up their hoops and
retire, there is something inter
esting, original and pleasing go
ing on all the time.
The Melroy Sisters are a palr
of very clever dancers and sing
ers who toward the end bring
down the house with some of the
best clogging seen in Atlanta in
many moons. Their songs also
are especially enjoyable
Gaffney and Dale open in a sur
prising fashion and keep inter
est aroused from the start. The
girl in the act is pleasing to look
upon, has an excellent voice, and
sings a 4 song in costume that is
one of the hits of the perform
ance, The man's instrumental
music 13 of the highest order,
The Fashion Shop contains |
much to hold the ladies spell- |
bound. A number of costumes are
designed and draped on living
models. Jack Halligan and Joe
Coombs are too well known in
Atlanta to need any recommen
dation. So far as applause was
concarned, they are the lions of
th 2 bill. The Five Gregorys dem
onstrate why they held the stage
at the Hippodrome all last win
ter with their hoop-rolling act.
It is a =ensation.
Nat Wills to Head
Program at Forsyth
Nat M. Wills, most celebrated of
‘“tramps,”” has been booked to head the

New York Hlippodrome is preparing for
its winter tour. He has just finished
his New York engagement as vrincipal
comedian of this production and will re
turn with it when the road trips begin.
Through his inimitable songs and
monologues and his tramp makeup, with
its famous medal-laden vest, Mr. Wills
has become one of the most famous and
best liked of comedians.
“The Five of Clubs,” in ‘A Plerrot's
Dream,” is an act on this week's bill
that is attracting unusual attention. It
is a beautifully staged production of fine
merit. George Ade's splendid comedy
sketch, “Speaking to Father,” is an
other feature of this week's bill, pre
sented in capital style by Milton Pol
lock and company. Five other acts on
the bill include such stars as Clara
Howard, singing comedienne; Willle So
lar, late star of the London Hippo
drome; Frank Morrell, Bertie Herron,
Milt Arnsrian and Frank Morrell,

Oof her acting. The President was at a

which a picture was shown containing
Miss Bondhill, and upon his return to
the White House after the performance
he was Impelled to write a note of ap

Three more performances will cloge

this historic triumph, she is support
by an all-star cast, among those ?lny
ing important parts being Stuars

i The Service Department of the Atlanta Branch of the Buick Motor
Company is in the immediate charge of Mr. N. F. Baxter, and under the
supervision of Mr. Givens H. McCutcheon, Sales-Service Director.
Here the owners of Buick cars, entitled to service, receive prompt and
efficient service—whether it be some slight adjustment, a small replace
ment, work for which there is to be a charge or gratuitous service as per
the weekly service coupon which is a feature of Buick retail sales.
The hours observed here, like those that obtain in all other departi..ents
of the Branch, are based on 8 hours; here we have the men speeded up
to do their work intelligently and efficiently, but the department closes
every day, except Saturday, at 5 p. m.; Saturday's closing time is |
p. m., sharp.
We find, and our customers generally agree “with us, that well rested,
mentally contented help gives far better and cheaper service than
where the hours are irregular, too long or the men generally over
worked.
‘ Some dissatisfaction at times has arisen in this department through
‘ owners desiring attention after hours; however, practically all of our
patrons are conversant with our hours, 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., and are dis
posed to co-operate with us in our desire to maintain our 8-hour
schedule—B hours for work, 8 hours for recreation and 8 hours for

eign football fields when “Harkey”
Revington and “Alf” Meclsaacs, of
Central, and Charley Hurt, of City
High, boarded an Alabama Great
Southern train for the Alabama Poly

Auburn. Hurt was a member of Mike

In Revington, Mclsaacs and Hurt,
Mike Donahue has obtained from
Chattanooga as choice a colleetion

Revington is probably the greatest

ranked second only to J. B. Carter as
an all-round ground gainer last fall.
Although handicapped by a lack of

Upon the tropic breeze.

And fell upon the’crew,
And smeared the deck with ruddy gore,
As pirates often do.
He tore their treasure chests apart
And made them walk the plank,
And yet he never had the heart
