TWO ATLANTA GIRLS TO
GIVE ENTERTAINMENT
Service Star Legion Ta Spaasar
leterpritive Doecieg Pregvaai
I. Early I
On December 2nd, Friday night
at the Georgia Military College Audi
torium, a most attractive entertain
ment will be staged by two of the
prettiest girls from the city of At
lanta. Misses Robert Jester Harbour,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Alfred
Harbour, and Martha Ridley, daugh
ter of Judge and Mrs. J. B. Ridley,
will put on a program which has nev
er been surpassed in this city. These
two young women are artists in their
line, have been students at the Poi-
ter-Spikrr school of Drumwtic Art
since their childhood.
Miss Harbour is now xieistant in
the school and Miss Ridley teaches
several days of each week in Rome.
To say that this will be a treat for
the people of Milledgeville will be
putting it mildly. Miss Harbour was
a visitor to Milledgeville during the
past summer, spending a week with
her cousin Mrs. E. R. Hines. While
here she gave an entertainment for
the summer school one evening, and
all who saw her pronounce her work
artistic to the nth degree.
Mrs. Charlie Moore, president of
the Service Star Legion, expresses
great pleasure in the enthusiasm
that has been arroused among those
who have heard that this entertain
ment is to be given, and that there
doubtless will be a packed audience
to greet the*** young artists. The pro
ceeds will go towakd piying the
pledge made by the Service Star Le
gion to the Community Center Mem
orial proposed by the American Le
gion.
The date is December 2nd., Friday
evening. Watch for more informa
tion.
