“THE CALL OF THE NORTH
"LITTLE BOY BLUE."
More than ordinary interest is being
manifested in the engagement soon of
the famous Viennese musical comedy,
"little Hoy Blue," produced by the

followed the American version with
even greater appreciation. The book
of Rudolph Hehunser and Carl Linduu
had been Americanized by the brilliant
A. K. Thomas and the talented iviwaid
A, Paul ton. The music of Henry Her

be the musical and fun of the season.

When "Peg o' My Heart" comes to

the Oort Theatre, New York, with I biu
ret te Taylor In the title role. 8o great
was the demand for Its continuance In
New York that Manager Morosco to
head the call from other cities for this
triumph, was forced to organize see.ral
special companies. When Mr. Morosco
orgunUeu the cast that is to appear
here, he inaugurated a new system in
management. "No companies of mine
will be hastily thrown together," he
declared "Beginning with this play my
travelling organ Ixh thins will first have
to satisfy New York audiences." Ho
he caused the members of the cist who
are associated with Miss Blanche Hall
In Mr. Manners play, to give several
performances nt the Port Theatre dur
ing Its unusual tun. "Theatre patrons
In other cities are entitled to perform
ances identical with those of the Me

this I am proud to say I luve ac
complished. In sending 'Peg' en-tour
again with a cast that has New York
players."
The play will he presented two days
with a special matinee.

White’s Fall-Winter
Opening Monday
An Authentic Fashion Exhibit
to Continue the Whole Week.
Music by Andonegui Or
chestra.
The 1914-1915 Fall and Winter open
ing of the J. B. White and Company
store will take place Monday.
There will be music by the Andone
gui Orchestra from 10:30 to 12:30 and I
from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock Monday. The
exhibit will continue all week.
The J. B. White Company has an
nounced thut great care has been tak
en to make this Fashion Exhibit one
that is comprehensive and authentic.
Looking to this, representatives of the
firm visited New York during the late
Summer and early early Fall.
More than gratifying is the result,
and shoppers, knowing that depend
ence can be put in what these repre
sentatives say concerning fashions,
patronize the store generously.
Certainly the styles are graceful and
pleasing. A generous'fulncss in skirts
of dresses and coats, frequently bolnq
gained by a circular effect lends a
freedom of movement which is im
possible wtth garments less full.
Waists are so large as to give the
effect of garments being suspended
from the ahoutders. Sleeves are long |
and tight, generally. Coats are mad"
to button close up or not. as the wear
er wishes. The high standing collar
prevalla. Rashes, soft and broad, are
used wtth particularly effective draped
designs.
On the other hand the dresses, while
fuller, do not show such change as
anils. Blouses In every instance have
changed, every variation from the
tailored blouse to the basque being
rung. Draped skirts and tunics vie
with full gathered skirts set plainly
into a wide belt.
Hat* show the Influence of the Eu
ropean war more than anything else.
Someone has said that any word-stir
ring event shapes itself into a million
ways, and pointed out that It might
even affect the styles of women’s wear.
Here this is true of hats. The Colo
nial design, showing a variety of mili
tary motifs, is by far the most popu •
lar. and the Napoleon and Admlml
hats, and headgear worn by French.
Belgian. Ruzelnn, German and British
soldiers, with their picturesque shapes,
are easily discernible. And the church
has given the provocation for the bir
rttn hat, the mitre hat and the car
dinal hat. Bright color*, and bright
trip wrings, even metallic ornaments,
arc used.

Speaking
... THE ...
Public Mind
GEN. MGR. SPOFFORD WRITES
CARD.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 3rd, 1914.
The Herald:
I have read with interest the article
which appeared in your October 2nd
issue in "Speaking the Public Mond”
column on the subject of Monte Sano
street car service, signed by "Another
Hill Resident,” and inviting a reply
from me on this subject.
When the schools opened we start
ed to check the morning cars both on
the Summerville side and the Monte
Sano side, with a view of determining
what the probable traffic conditions
would be, so that proper extra service,
if neded, could be determined.
We found on the Monte Sano side
that the cars leaving the pavilion at
8.07 and 8.22 were the two heaviest
trips, and also that the same number
of passengers did not ride the cars
every morning; for instance on Sept.
29th the car leaving the Pavilion at
8.07 had on board 52 passengers,
w T hile on October Ist this same car
carried 84 passengers, consequently
one day extra service would be need
ed, while on the next day it would not
be be needed.
On Friday, September 18th, an ex
tra car was put on to double-head
with trip leaving the Pavilion at 8.22
a. an., and my very good friend is
1 mistaken in thinking that this car
has ever been pulled off. It has run
every morning since except Saturday
and Sunday. He evidently received
his impression from the fact that on
one rainy day last week an extra car
was put on to double-head the 8.07
trip.
We are now double-heading both
the 8.07 and the 8.22 trips and will
continue to do so as long traffic de
mands it.
I wish to assure all of our patrons
that our one idea is “efficient service”
and that any suggestions for the bet
terment of our service are alw'ays
gladly received and adopted, when
feasible.
Trusting that the imlnd of "Another
Hill Resident” Is now clear on the
above matter, I beg to remain,
Verytruiy his, and yours
R. W. SPOFFORD,
General Manager,

To Revive Cotton Dresses.
To The Herald:
It may be that the exclusion of for
eign fashions by reason of the ob
structionc of export from Europe may
lead to the revival of the use of ma
terials and designs which will be rec
ognized as to the manner born and
carrying the approval of traditional
taste.
Fabrics of cotton formed the mate
rial of the garments of our grand
mothers and of their mothers in an
cestral sequence. These were woven,
dyed and fashioned here at home.
Silks were worn for ceremonious dis
plays. But today cotton goods of even
more artistic worth and decoration
are produced by our great factories,
and, for that matter, American silks,
in American designs, can be had equal
to the goods imported from the French
producers.
A movement Is now taking shape
for our rehabilitation of the cotton
dress for our women. A “fashion
show” is projected at Washington in
which society women are to take the
leading part. And the idea is receiv
ing wide approval elsewhere.
In its way, this is a practical dec
laration of independence parellel to, if
not surpassing in its significance, the
suffrage convention.
Let Augusta enter vigorously into
the movement. Every Augusta wo
man can buy more cotton and less
silks, if she'll only try.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4.
The Week at Modjeska
The Mutual Movies, the kind that
make time fly—will now be shown at
the new Modjeska (as the Bonita will
aot show them).
The Mutual program is Incomparable
and certainly do what they say they do
—make time fly.
The famous Keystone oomedies will be
shown every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday,
“The Million Dollar Mystery” also is
here every Friday.
Every day's program is excellent and
every reel worthy of special mention,
but space prohibits so a leader for each
day is given herewith.
For Monday:
“The Varsity Race,” (two parts.)
Frank Irving, bow-oarsman of the Gar
ford University .wight, is depended upon
to win the annual Vowing contest for his
alma-mater. Irving is in love with Mu
riel, but the professor doesn't look upon
the athletec with much favor, particularly
as he has fallen behind in his studies.
The professor speaks to him about his
shortcomings and the oarsman endeav
ors to make up for his past remissness.
Another student, who has also been be
hind in his studies, is Ralph Davis, a
young man of father dissipated habits,
who is an unsuccessful suitor for Mu
riel's hand. Realizing that Irving has
won her affections, he hates him ac
cordingly.
Just before an important examination
is to be held, it is discovereu that some
one has tampered with the professor's
papers. Circumstantial evidence points
