ROMANCE OF SOUTH
is FOLD IN PLAY
Under Southern Skies
Coming Here.
Under

Americas theatregoers will have
an opportunity tomorrow night of
witnessing for the first time one of the
most successful plays of recent years.
Under Southern Skies" Lottie Blair
Parker's delightful drama of Sou
thern life will be presented here
with a cast of twenty-three people
and a complete scenic production of
beautiful Southern scenes. While
Under Southern Skies, is new to our
city its reputation has preceded it
from the east where for five seasons
it has been played to crowded houses.
Under Southern Skies" has proved
to be by far the most popular play
of Southern life that has been writ
ten since the great war plays, "Shen-
andoah," Held by the Eenemy" and
Secret Service" Unlike these plays,
however, Under Southern Skies does
not deal with the war The period is
about 1875, and the people have re-
covered in a measure from the shock
and disaster of the great conflict.
To the young people an the play it is
only a dim memory. The author has
portrayed a story that could happen
no where but in the south and has
drawn life-like pictures of Southern
social life and hospitality. The play
has a delightful air of youthful ro-
nance, and gayety, that is its strong
est fascination.

FlGMAN PLEASED
THEATRE GOERS

Marriage is no longer a matter OF
love, but a bargain"
This is a sample Of the wisdom of
John Winston the leading man in the
delightful comedy of The Lightning
Conductor" which appeared at Glov-
er's Opera House yesterday, matinee
and night
A prologue and three acts abound
ing in happy dialogue and with a
piquant love story running through
the play well presented by Oscar
Figman and a company Of more than
usual merit, thoroughly pleased
cultivated audience at the two per-
f0rmances yesterday.
The play opens with an automobile
scene, the machine being in the cen
tire of the stage. 1t is broken down
and its two occupants, a girl and her
and having been deserted by their
rascally Chauffeur, are rescued by
John Winston, who passed himself off
as a driver, having been bewitched
by the maiden fair The disguise is
apparent to the audience but not to
the girl and her aunt.
Many humorous situations develop
and at one time the hero is accused
of numbering himself In the midst
of the tangle he is recognized and
the situation explained The maiden,
who has developed an admiration
which is nearly or quite love, for
her handsome employee, is delighted
to find that her affections were not
lost on an unworthy laborer.
Mr.. Figman as leading man did
excellent work and maintained his
record of the past two seasons as an
actor of very high rank. His handling
of the situations showed much artistic
ability. Miss Justina Wayne, as
Molly Randolph, the maiden, was
the modest girl whose liking for
her Chauffeur grew more as the plot
progressed, so that each stage seem
ed natural step from the other Miss
Edith Berwin, as Aunt Mary" did
her part we'll Other members of
the cast, which was composed of
eighteen characters, supported the
leaders in a satisfactory manner.

CONGRESSMAN WANT
THEIRS IN CASH

WASHINGTON d. c., Nov. g.
The sergeant-at-arms of the House
of Representatives has had the strin-
gency in the money market brought
forcibly to his attention. Members
of the House from many sections OF
the country, especially in the West
far West, and South, have written
that official asking him not to send
them their monthly salary in the
shape of a check, as the local banks
are so short of currency they will
not cash it.
This may sound strange here in
Washington, where it is known these
checks are issued against the Treas
ury of the United States, where there
are millions and millions of gold to
redeem them. But the fact is, the
country banks do not doubt the sol
vency of the government; what they
are aiming at is to prevent parting
with the amount of currency called
for by the check.
The sergeant-at-arms is complying
with the request of the members. He
is shipping currency to the members
requesting it by express, but the ex-
press charges are paid by the Con-
gresham who happens to be so hard
up for cash that he cannot afford to
carry around in his pocket a 1925
check

ANOTHER SHOCK

When, with one wave of his hand
Gov Smith answered the petition of
those Atlanta merchants who had the
temerHy to ask fer a raise in pas
senger rates, by saying that they
were either the tools of the railroads,
or else were ignorant souls, the states
Executive no doubt thought the ques-
ton was settled for all time and in
every city
1t must therefore have been some
thing of shock to his complacency
when forty Macon merchants took
exactly the same step Friday, almost
duplicating the Atlanta petition.
In the Macon petition the opinion
of the forty business men is express
ed that "it is of utmost importance
at this time to allay unfavorable crit
icism of corporations, in so far as it
may be done without injury to the
public good"
Can it not be possible that these
merchants of Atlanta and of Macon,
two of the largest cities in the
state, know little about their own
business interests? This is of course
only a suggestion, for has not Gov
ernor Smith already told the Atlanta
merchants that they were mere pawns
on the railroad side of the chess
board?
Notwithstanding this unansWerable
and absolutely convincing argument
the belief is growing among the
voters of the state that this logic is
faulty somewhere

plete record of the Bertolet family in
France and America for more than

its ownership during the settlement

brought to America more than 10
