SOCIAL GOSSIP
Tuesday night will be a notable
one in the social annals of Grove
town, when the marriage of Miss
Isaetta Phinizy and Mr. Henry Gar
rett will be solemnized at “Villa
Marion,” the summer home of Mr.
and Mrs. Stewart Phinizy, the par
ents of the bride-to-be.
The out-of-town guests will ar
rive tomorrow and will be enter
tained Monday afternoon by Mr.
and Mrs. Phinizy, with a barbecue
in Grovetown. Last night there
was a beautiful supper-dance given
at the Country Club, the guests be
ing the bridal party and a few of
the relatives of the bride. The ta
ble was adorned with a profusion
of pink roses and after the serving
of a delightful supper dancing was
enjoyed till midnight. In the party
were Misses Laura Tohin, Georgia
Hull, Harriet Calaoun, Atlanta, Ga.;
Marion Goldsmith, Atlanta. Ga.;
Nellie Phinizy, Athens, Ga.; Marion
Phinizy, Mary Lou Phinizy, Eleanor
Teague, Elizabeth Cozart; Messrs.
Irvin Branch, A. T. Davidson ■ Hen
ry Raworth, Geddings Jowitt, W. T.
Gary, Pendleton King, Arthur
Clark, Atlanta, Ga.; Bernard Stulb,
Van Holt Garrett; Miss Isaetta
Phinizy and Henry Garrett. (Other

dy and Mr. John Tobin.
Augugsta ir vitally, interested in
the coming convention of the Kings
Daughters and Sons, not only be
cause of her many and splendid cir
cles, but by reason of the fact that
there is a great probability of the
new president who will be elected
at this convention being an Augus
ta woman, one of the foremost
Daughters of the state and one of
the first members of the first circle
ever established in Augusta—Miss
Mary R. Campbell. Should Miss
Campbell be elected it will be a
worthy honor worthily bestowed.
The Confederate Veteran in a re
cent issue pays the following trib
ute to one who has passed over the,
river and is resting in the shade of
the trees:
“The story is told that in a fierce
engagement on the high seas an
admiral,gashed to the mast, was
directing, be movements of his
fleet when killed. His government
decreed that thereafter in every
roll call of the navy his name
should be called and the response
given: ‘Absent, but accounted for.’
“So when the veterans assemble
in Jacksonville there will be one
missing who never before failed to
meet with them. When the name
of S. A. Cunningham, the late edi
tor of The Confederate' Veteran, is
called, the response of his com
rades will be:
“ ‘Absent, but accounted for.’ ”
Miss Helen Verderys many
friends are most regretful to see
her leave the library, where she has
served so efficiently for so long and
where she has made it so pleasant
for the patrons, and despite the
fact that they know Miss Pauline
Verdery will be eminently satisfac
tory to the position of librarian,
they are most loathe to have Miss
Verdery leave. Miss Verdery will
go to Fracksville, Pa., to attend the
marriage of Miss Minahan and Dr.
Lee Verdery on June tenth, and
later will visit for several weeks
with friends in Virginia.
Friends of Dr. Lee Verdery’ and Miss
Mary Minahan will extend to them
cordiai congratulations on the an
nouncement of their approaching
marriage which will *ake place on
Juns 10th in Fracksville, Pa., the
home town of the bride-to-be. anr.
are predicting a delightful future
as the result of a marriage founded
not only on love but on one of the
strongest of all attractions, a com
munity of tastes. Miss Minahan
has been in charge of the Wilhen
ford Hospital and has made splen
didly good. She is most experi
enced along things medical and is
an altogether charming young wo
man. Those who know her are de
lighted to feel that she will soon be
a genuine Augustan. Dr. Verdery
is one of the best known and most
promising of the younger physi
cians of the city, although he has
only been practicing a few years,
has built up a practice that is a
credit to his ability. His specialty
is the maladies of poung children
and already he has done much good
in this direction. Dr. Verdery is
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Ver
dery and is prominently connected
throughout the city.
Much pleasurable interest will be
felt in the formal announcement
today of the approaching marriage
of Miss lone Mosley, of North Au
gusta, to Mr. Olney McDaniel,
which will take place on the morn
ing of June ten'h at the North Au
gusta Baptist Church, cards to be
sent out later. This pretty bride
elect is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. .1. IT. Mosley and is a very
charming young girl, whose friends
are devoted to her. Mr. McDanield
although he has only been making
his home in Augusta for the past
few years has drawn about him a
circle of friends who have been
won by his fine qualities, his Integ
rity and his moral worth.
Miss Kate Mulkey is another at
tractive June bride-to-be, her en
gagement to Mr. Edward Bryson
being announced today. Miss Mul
key has a host of friends who have
been won by her sweet cordial
manners and her most attractive
personality. She has a beautiful
voice with which she has been most
generous and rarely is there given
in Augusta an entertainment that
her voice has not been a lead! g

attraction, thus literally singing
herself into the hearts of her hear
ers. Mr. Bryson is the youngest
son of Mr. c.nd Mrs. Harper Bry
son. He is an exceptionally fine
young man and holds a position of
trust with the Georgia and Florida
Railroad. The marriage will take
place on the seventeenth of June.
There is a delightful bit of gossip
going the rounds about the ap
proaching marriage of a charming
young widow to a prominent news
paper man of Washington City.
Nothing authentic has yet been as
certained, but those who know say
it will be one of the most ideal of
marriages. The young woman in
question is one of the most charm
ing young matrons in Augusta, a
woman of culture, refinement and
brains unlimited, while the fortun
ate man is equally as splendidly
equipped. It is said the marriage
will occur in June.
No announcement of an approach
ing marriage will/'cause more gen
eral and genuine pleasure than that
of Miss Alice Prior and Mr. Stuart
Harris.
THE WORST THEATRICAL
SEASON IN 17 YEARS.
In the American Magazine Walter
Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic of the
publication, writes an interesting ar
ticle entitled “The Slump in the Theat
rical Business.” He quotes an inter
view with Abraham Erlanger. head of
the so-called Theatrical Syndicate, re
cently, published in. the New York Her
ald, in which Mr. Erlanger said that
this is the worst theatrical season in
17 years. As to the causes Mr. Eaton
goes on in part as follows:
“Mr. Erlanger. in the interview al
ready .mentioned, stated several, and
stated them very shrewdly, ‘Until last
year,’ he said, ‘the easiest thing in
the world to organize in any small
town was a corporation to build a
theater.’ (And he might have added,
in any large town, also.) ‘The thea
ters,’ he said again, ‘have anticipated
the population in the large cities of
this country at least twenty years.’
"In other words, there has been an
absurd overproduction of playhouses
in America, and a consequent over
production of plays to fill them. Mr.
Erlanger dates this overproduction
from 1908—in other words from the
time when an opposition to the ty
rannical rule of this syndicate grew
strong enough to build houses for it
self. The overproduction, then, was
really caused by the inevitable human
demand for free competition in the
arts. As the syndicate controlled all
the necessary houses for profitable
operation, competitors had to build
their own theaters. In 1893 New York
had nineteen theaters, now it has two
hundred and fifty-one (including vau
deville houses). It also has nearly a
thousand small motion picture thea
ters. None of the other cities increas
ed its playhouses in such proportion,
because New York is the theatrical
center where every manager wishes to
get hie iday presented. But there was
a considerable increase everywhere—
in Chicago, in Boston (where the num
ber of theaters has doubled while the
population was increasing perhaps
20 per cent), and hosts of other places.
Of course the erection of one new thea
ter in a small town means a one hun
dred per cent increase, which is in
variably far ahead of the increase tn
population.”

est will be the election of a state

Baptist church and on Thursday af
ternoon the delegates will be compli
mented with an automobile ride and a
reception at the Mary Warren Home.
