specis to Alda and then all left for
the club, except Madame and SBeot
th, who sat and waited and walied.
When finally Mr. and Mps. Caruso
came down, their sartorial elegance
was worth waiting for, especially
his. 1t is sald that Caruso's clothes
have been toned down a bit by his
wife, but they are still the acme of
corrastnese if not odd. in any way.
Hix best effect, | think, is the brown
beited cloth ecoat which he wears
most jauntily, with cream trousers
and a 4 white hat
But to cut a long story short and
to prove my point, the opera stars
did Bnally get together on this one
oceasion. At any rate, they were
under the same roof and four of
them-—~the (‘arusos, Alda and Scott]
~-were of the same party ‘

Points of Difference—
B UT 1 started out to speak of the
difference in (his season and
others, soclally speaxing, and here
I am on the differences between the
opera stars-——almost. But |am go
ing to stop right in time and re
sume my original subject.
After referring to the opera guest
par excellence who does not sing, |
pass on to a second difference
which lay in the more formal as
te(-t of the social funetions and the
#¢ formal aspect of the “between
times.” For the first, there was
an absence of the old-time “toasts”
- and speeches and songs by the stars
around the festive board. | suppose
this can be accounted for by the
Absence of anything to drink the
toasts in, Quite probably. And
then, Caruso, as well as others of
the company, have been lifting their
volees in trivial song for the sake
of the war, during the past year,
they are probably tired of wasting |
the sweetness of their ' notes on
dreary airs Hke Swanee Ribber and |
Annie Laurie, 8o there was lftle |
impromptu singing at the various ‘
banquet boards,

Where Informality Reigned—
: Ai for the playtime between 1
z “parties” there has naturally
been more of it, because of the ‘
" scarcity of the formal »fairs.
Instead of the usual Druid Hills
‘barbecue and picnic of other years,
. there was the small and altogether
~ informal luncheon given for Mr. and
Mrs, Caruso by Mr. and Mrs, James
T. Williams. Everybody did just as
they pleased out there that day, and
-the entire club grounds, golf links
~and all contributed to the amuse
ment of the party, especially the
* honor guests. They sat under the
dogwood trees and played cards.
Seott! winning all the spare change
_ his friend Enrico carried in his

. "Unluecky in love, as always'
-~ was the way Scottl chose to look at
it. 'They played golf a little and
- "Old Bill” has already set forth
with striking emphasis the fact
that Caruso & not a good golf
L player. In fact, 1 believe Old Bill
.fiyl. with the straightforward can
dor fer which he is noted (at
times) that Caruso Is a “dub” at
the great old écotoh game. | think
Heottl is a ph;or, but certain it ix

Why They Like Atlanta—
lN Just such fun and frolic do the
® opera wtars regale themselves
”!';.T}BLHLT:_‘S__S“NI?AY AMEI_UCAN neit I Newgnaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1919,
while spending a very happy week
In Atlanta. The fine weather which
is about the first of spring seen by
the visitors, the flowers blooming
everywhere, the warm welcome ac
corded them, the great audiences
full of enthusiasm, the “open-house”
aspect of the entire ¢lty, furnishes a
diversion to the singers, as well as
to Atlantans and visitors. As for
the musical aspect of our grand
opera week, 1 have sald little, be-
Ing “assigned to do the social,” as 1
am. Yet certain it is, and so evi
dent that all can see, the musleal
side of the opera woek has counted
more than ever before, this year.
People went to hear the opera in so
many instance--not to see from
curlosity, not to be seen. The great
body of the house was not so gayly
costumed as formerly, but, oh, what
a wonderful attention did they give
to the performance! And thys s
the best thing-—the main thing —
after all,
Qoo 0
The Great Thing—
WITH the coming of opera here,
year after year, with the
stimulation given to it by the news
paper publicity and the aunual
visit fostered by the excellent mu
sical entertainment of other kinds
held here from time to time, Atlanta
and the neighbors are learning to
know and love the Lest in musie.
Now one may not. know music,
which is a misfortune, or love
musie, which is a greater. But
the most unpardonable exhibi
tion of boorishness is to boast of
not knowing or not loying music.
There are many persons who are
entirely unconscious of all the finer
thrills that play across the souls
of men, But guch unconsclousness
I 8 not to be valued as an asset.
Of these finer thrills, 1 take it that
music leads the human personality
nearer to an understanding of that
which we call divinity than any
other art. “Away with thee," apos
trophizes Jean Paul Richter to
music. “Thou speakest to me of
things T know not and never shall
know'!" But on the strains of such
tones as float away toward® the
stars from such golden voices as
Caruso’s, or such silver notes as
Barrientos’, we come: nearer to the
Great Secret than by any other art,
soon
Some of the Visitors—
GE'PTIN(‘I back to earth and
mine own subject¥, 1 must
say something about the visitors
who hel‘md Atlanta to make the
soclal side of the opera the success
it was. There were many of these
charming visitors in our midst,
shedding glory on the opera audi
ences, the Jdinner and supper
dances, and so forth,
Among the many attractive visi
tors in the young set one of the
daintiest was little Miss Betty Ane
drews, of Chattanooga. Betty fs
‘somewhat like Nellie Dodd in her
style and in her dancing manner

a frock of oversens blue Georgette
and a hat of the same color. I
think Betty danced away with the
hearts of several young men that
afternoon; and 1 am expecting her
to make a return visit here some
day. Miss Ann Bucher, from way
off New Mexico, has been a feteda
visitor of the weeck. Miss Bucher
is rather on the breesy outdoor
style, a tall and wholesome looking
girl, always wearing good-looking
clothes. At the same tea-dance she
was stunning in blue flowered
Qeorgette.
Farther away still is the home of
Kitty Brack, who' lives in San
Francisco. Miss Brack is blonde
and pretty and very popuiar with
Atlantans. Miss Bland Williams,
of Houth Carolina, was an inter
asting visitor of the week. Miss
Williams hails from "Mulborr{
Plantations,” near Camden, whic
is a unigue mail address, to say
the least of it. 0
One can tell that Miss Bland Wit
llams has ancestry, not only bl; her
aristocratic looks and her “Plan
tations” address, but by the great
diamond which she wears on her
Jittle finger and which it is ex
plained t 0 curious friends is a
seven-stone carat (whatever that
may be) and was the engagement
ring of her grandmother,
* Virginia Sawyer, of Mobile, was
in Mrs, Mitehell King's party at
the tea-dance, though Virginia is
one of the 'ymm‘ girls who enjoys
opera better than the parties, She
has a fine contralto voice and 1s
studying with a view to a pos
sible career for her own self. Miss
Major Miller, of Richmond, is an
other visitor with a musieal gift
Miss Miller, however, Is a planist,
She is a striking lon‘ung girl with
Titlan hair and violet eyes and all
that. She dances well, too, even if
she is a planist.
cooQ
In the Pioture—
THWRE may be some doubt in
the minds of Atlantans ag to
who is the handsomets young ma
tron in the city. But there scems
to be no doubt in the minds of the
opers phowgugihon. One and all,
they selected Mrs, Forrest Adair,
Jr, to pose for their cholcest pic
tures, Wag there a photo of Scottl,
Immaculate In brown coat and
cream trousers and straw hat at
the tea-dance, with Scott! would be
Mrs. Forrest Adailr, Jr.
Was there a table selected amidst
the gay throng on the terrace for
-goolnl publicity purposes, one of
the guests at least way sure to be
Mrs. Forrest Adair, Jr.
Was there a stream of automo
biles passing before the cameran as
the handsomely gowned women
emerged at the door of the Audi
torium, Mrs. Forrest Adair, Jr,
stepping out of her car, was the
first one the movie men elected to
snap.
In consequence of the photogra
phers’ “flair” for Mrs. Adair's type
of good looks, her picture got fnto
the fltmw week almost as
many as did Caruso's., And
raska; Miss KEthel Tye and
Miss Carolyne Tye, of Atlan
ta; sitting, Miss Frances
Barnes, of Riderhead, Long
Island. The two visitors were
guests of the Misses Tye at
their home here and were
pleasantly entertained during
their stay.
perhaps she would have equaled
Caruso except for her unwilling
ness to change the character of the
plctures after the regular ones grew
stale, by making faces, as did
Caruso,
Sooo
Intoxicating Plans—
THIS issue of the paper being
the opera number, I have not
paused to look ahead for anything
interesting in a social way this
week. And I do not think I weuld
find much if T did. Only one ex
citing event ahead for members of
the younger set I have been asked
to note, And I uppose, for the sake
of advertising this event, 1 should
not write it out, but should call up
over the phone and tell you about
it, in the manner of one of the
- seminary girls in charge. You see
the affair is to be a lawn party for
a special eharity in which the sem
inary girls arve interested. It is to
take place next' Friday afternoon on
the lawn in front of the seminary,
and the pretty girls are to be
dressed up in fancy costume. Yes,
and some of those wiho aren't pret
ty, too. The girls have planned a
very ambitious program, with Cath
erine Hook to be crowned Queen of
the May, or something, and they
have been calling up their friends to
tell them about it.
One special girl who has a little
twist in her tongue made the big
gest hit of all, and as soon as she
gave some of the boys a few de
taills about the affair the news
spread like wildfire and ticket sell
ing became brisk—or would have
had the tickets been ready--or
something, 3
Anywuy, the girl, speaking with
~her sweet little lisp, undertook to
say this over the phone:
“All of you boys muth be sure
and come to our lawn party. We're
going to wear pretty costumes'and
have boothes on the lawn*
“Hey, fellers,” Interrupted the
- man to whom she was talking, “get
busy with plans for this Washing
ton Seminary party, They're go
ing to have ‘booze' all over the
lawn,”

Suspicious Looking Persons—
P ERHAPS the photo men took
Mrs. Adair for an opera star,
Just as several of the more strk
ing looklnl Atlanta women posed
involuntarily at times for famous
singers,
One of the biggest hits of this
Kind was made by Miss Sallie Maud

Nothing New to Stars—
lnvwmmAßD a remark to this
effect, after one of the opera per
formances last week:
“I'll bet they never get this much
applause in New York, nor have
as much made of them as in At
lanta!”
1 arise to say most emphatically
that the speaker loses his bet.
There was never an ovation in
the great crowd of people at the
Auditorium, two or three times as
large a crowd as can get into the
Metropolitan Opera House, anything
like equal in veolume and enthu
siasm to some of the ovations ac
corded the singers in their own bal
lHwick.
It was quite noticeable to visitors
~~this lack of demonstrativeness—
and some of them confessed to an
effort in keeping back the “bravos”
from their own lips because of the
conservativeness of the big South
ern audiences.
For instance, of the “good-bye
for-this-year" agpunnre of Ca
ruso in New York, Thursday a
week ago, just before he came down
to Atlanta, an Atlanta enthusiast
who was present writes:
“After the final curtain, the crowd
brought him out, smiling, bowing,
saying good-bye, sixteen times.
Then the asbestos curtain was low
ered and the lights turned off till
the house was in semidarkness.
“Btill six or seven hundred of the
faii o' #*oad and applauded, call
ing ‘brave,’ and making all sorts
of noises, For fully twenty minutes
this kept up, till the lights were
turned on and Caruso stepped out
in correct street attire. He again
waved and bowed and sang ‘good-

Why Opera Attendance
Breaks All Records
Atlanta appreciates more each year the
quality of song and music rendered by Met
ropolitan Opera,
Atlanta admires everything whish ap
proaches perfection, whether noticed by
sight, taste or sound. And, the more she
sees, the more she is impressed with and
enjoys these beautiful qualities. That is why
Grand Opera cultivates increasing enthusi
asm each season in Atlanta and why each
individual shows to the best of her ability
what she can offer in harmony with the rich- :
ness of the world’s best voices.
Flowers, shrubs and clinging vines, green
grass, trees and beds and borders, blending
colorful homes and well-kept gardens, are
likewise admired by Atlanta and appre
ciated by inereasing numbers of Atlanta
families every year,
