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.

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 r THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN Many momfs. THE AUGUSTA HERALD 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.” D. A. R.

The eighteenth annual convention of the international order of King's Daughters and Sons will be held in Augusta this year, the dates being Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May 20, 21, 22. The meetings will be held at the First Baptist church. Delegates from all over the state will be present and much interest cen ters in the convention this year. Among other things of great inter est will be the election of a state president to succeed Miss Kats C. Hall, who now resides in Florida. Miss Hall has been state president for a number of years and she is given up with the greatest reluctance and only because of her removal from the state. The social side of the convention will be a pleasant feature of the oc casion. There will be a reception on Wednesday evening to the delegates in the Sunday school room of the First 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. Luncheon will be served each day dur ing the convention in the Sunday school room. Aside from business a splendid pro gram has been arranged for each day, in which several Augusta ministers will take part. A number of vocal se lections will add to the program.
