The Aotl-Saloon League Is circulating pc.
titiona among the residents of Atlanta In
an effort to ascertain the sentiment of the
people In regard to the holding *of a pro
hibition election here.
But two questions are asked:
“Are you Jn favor of prohibition?"
“If so, when do yon waut a prohibition
election to be held?"
Tho result of this Investigation will be
announced at tho meeting of the Antl-S'n-
loon League at 4 o’clock I’iM.iy afternoon
In tho Y. M. C. A. hall. Upon tho result
of this Investigation depends largely what
action will be taken by tho league.

the mass meotlog at tho Wesley Memorial

_ At the meeting Friday tho report of pr.
John E. White, pastor of the Second Bap

letters to 250 lending church members of

Dr. White will show that a prohibition

that tho petition of the Anti-Saloon League
will be to tho contrary.
The meeting will be an Interesting one,
and the result will bo watched with great
interest. The league Is expected to de
clare for an election either now or In thi

The domestic pigeons were so friend

WALTER J. WOOD TURNS PROPHET;
PREDICTS WEDNESDAY’S SNOWFALL
Walter J. Wood Is a weather prophet
He may never take the place of the
late lamented Hicks. He Is not look
ing for a Job in the forecasting bureau.
He Is Just doing a little prophesying
on his own account.
Mr. Wood predicted the snowstorm
of Wednesday.
Honest, he did! Did It right off the
bat.
He was sitting out . in ths sunebln*
two weeks ago fanning himself with
his hat nnd wishing for winter. Then
he turned to a friend and said:
M U will snow In Atlanta on Novem-
b< Weli, you all know what happened
on the 14th. It snowed. But don t hold
Afr. Wood responsible. He dldn t make
It. He just predicted It.
Whether Walter Wood uses a goose-
bone, his rheumatism, or swears by a
faithful corn, he declines to say.
"! said It would snow, didn't l? Well,
It snowed, didn't It? There) now!”
That's nil lie has to say on the sub-
But he celebrated hts successful
prophecy Wednesday by giving a hot
biscuit and coffee luncheon to all
corners at bis store In Whitehall street
during the snow. Of course he used a
Buck's range for the cooking nnd the
coffee was Maxwell House Blend. L.
W. Rogers made the biscuit.
"Hot stuff, this," remarked the cus-
tamers who stopped to taste a biscuit.
“What's the occasion?”
"Why, didn't you hear about Walter
Wood's weather prophecy?” was the
answer. "We're just celebrating, that's
all.”

Otle Skinner in “The Duel."
On the painted walls in the first act
of Lavedan's drama, “Ths Duel,” hangs
a copy of the old painting, "The Class
In Anatomy.” Tho picture might be
taken os the theme of the play.
For "The Duel” Is a bit of merciless
dissection, the laying bare of hidden
thoughts and loves, deftly but mere?
lessly, as the old professor plies his
knife while the eager class looks on.
As an opportunity for powerful acting
it gives all that one might ask; os a
story It has tho morbid Interest of a
tale of Poe; but when one has seen and
heard, has watched the drama through,
he rises with a feeling of relief and
asks himself the old question, "What's
the use?”
The duel Is not a battle of sword
against sword. It Is the struggle be
tween a man and a priest for the pos
session of a woman. One fights for her
body, the other battles to save her soul,
while she. a weak, unsatisfying crea
ture, Is torn this way and that nnd
accepts every turn with relief. That
doctor and priest are brothers, that
one Is an nthsjst and the other a priest
of the church adds to the Intensity of
their struggle. It Is characteristic of
the French dramatist that he gives
neither the victory. He solves the ques
tion at the proper moment by killing
the husband who stands In tho way
and sending ths priest to Asia, white
the atheist wins the woman*.
As Abbe Daniel, the young priest. Air.
Skinner Is given some splendid oppor
tunities. In the second act, when he
confronts hla brother and battles with
him In the mental duel, his reading Is
superb. HIs lines pour from his lips In
a torrent of excitement, but the voice
never losee lte high, muelcal pitch, the
enunciation Is always clear. There are
few better actors today than Otis Skin
ner In parts that call for Intensity and
oratory. In "Francesca dl Rlmlnl,” his
Lanclotto waa a masterpiece; in "The
Duel” hie Abbe Daniel leaves an Im
pression which will be not easily for
gotten. Tho picture of the young
priest, his flashing eyes, his nervous
step, will be recalled by every lover of
tho best of the stage. It was like one of
the older tragedians returned to life.
In hie supporting company Mr. Skin
ner had not all he might ask. Walter
Hitchcock ss Dr. Aforey, the' elder
brother, was thoroughly at home In the
earlier passages of the play. His quiet
scenes were skillfully handled, his Im
passioned wooing was a splendid scene.
But In the great encounter with the
priest he lost control of hla voice under
the excitement of the scene and his
lines could be hardly distinguished.
Keith Wakcman, the woman In the
story, has a really wonderful volcg, all
the technique of experience, a full ap
preciation of her role. But her role Is
In itself so weak, so utterly Impossible,
that she cannot but be disappointing.
There are minor players whose work Is
fully satisfactory. But the play rests
with these three and the Interest cen
ters In Abbe Daniel.
Mr. Bklnner was called before tho
curtain and given round after round
of applause following his great second
act. But after all It fs doubtful wheth
er any one "enjoyed" the play. It Is
too strong, too Intense. It demands too
much from Its audience—and when It
Is over It has told npthlng, served no
purpose. It leaves one dissatisfied. Im
patient to get out under .the stars Into
the quiet night. . a. D. G.

There are many reasons that will ac
count for the success the “Isle of Spice”
has achieved. In the first place, the
story Is well told, full of comedy sit
uations and brilliant dialogue, while
the music Is tuneful, jlngly and origi

Many of the songs have become popu

Primrose’s Minstrels.
George Primrose and hls all-star
minstrel company will be the attrac
tion at the Grand Thursday at mati
nee and again at night with a program
that contains nothing but minstrel acts,
sketches and dances. The scenic In
vestiture has been elevated to a de
gree of artistic importance that has
been'wanting In the old traditional
shows. The singing of both the prln
cipals and chorus, as well as the p!ay<
Ing of the orchestra Is said to be far
superior to anything ever heard before
In minstrelsy. The solo vocalists not
alone display good voices, but sing with
finish and refinement. Among them
may be mentioned Charles Reinhart,
tenor; Kdgar Allyn, baritone; Clarence
Alarks, David Irwin, Walter S. Brewer,
William Oakland. Thomas Holmes and
a chorus of trained voices.
The fun will be supplied by the fol
lowing popular minstrel comedians:
Eddie Horan, the Gorman Brothers,
James Conners and George Primrose.
The second port contains a long list
of clever toft and wooden-shoe dancers
who will revive Afr. Primrose's “Silver
Shower" clog, which made ihe name
of Primrose famous, also a negro
sketch wherein all the comedians take
part. Air. Primrose will be seen In n

Importance to Atlanta theatergoers.
Some years ago. when “feapho” was
first brought out. It occasioned an
equal amount of praise and condemna
tion all over America. Sometimes it
was forbidden to play on account of Its
alleged Immoral scenes and suggestive
ness. The pulpit took the matter up
and was followed by the press. Afl
over the country the play was con
demned and praised until It finished Its
run. After this Afonager Baldwin, of
the Baldwin-Melville Stock Company,
obtained the right to produce the play
with the original scenes Intact Tjy the
payment of a large royalty whenever it
waa produced. He will exerctie this
right Thursday. Friday and Saturday
