NEXT DOOR"
GOES WELL
A Very Fine Entertainment
For Benefit Of the LIST
Baptist Church.

Next Door," a comedy in three
acts by Eleanor Maude Crane, and
under the stage direction of Mr.
Stephen Harvey, was given last night
at the Pensacola Opera House for the
| benefit of the First Baptist church.
The play is bright, and has many
humorous situations, which were
brought out most cleverly by the
splendid cast, which lost no OppOrtun-
ity to bring out the best points.
The first act represented a lawn in
front of a cottage at Roselands. late
on an afternoon in spring. The cot
tage through some mistake in draw
ing up the lease, had been taken by
an elderly lady and her three young
lady neices, and also by a bachelor
with literary aspirations and three
young friends.
Each party refused to vacate for
the other, but finally a compromise
is reached and the entire party oc-
cupy the house. The usual love-mak-
ing and misunderstanding of the low
erS form a sweet part of the play,
which has happy ending.

A Weak Argument.

From these impregnabie positions
however, it is perilous sally to an
exposed point which the secretary

defense of the lavish use of money in
politics. Admitting that there have
been some ABUSES" in the raising OF
campaign funds, he contended that.
after all, there is no more useful ex-
penditure or money from the public
point OF view" The reason is. &C

applied to the political education of

In speaking of the passing away OF
Mr.. Joseph jefferson, a well known
editorial writer one one of our fam
GUS newspapers says: In all the
years he has been before the public,
Mr.. Jefferson has upheld the best
traditions of the stage. No breath OF
scandal has ever smirched his fair
name, no shaft of public criticism has
ever been leveled at his head, no
work of destruction ever whispered
against him. Throughout his entire
career he chung to the high ideals he
set for himself. Following the ex-
ample of four generations he dedi-
Gated his energies to the drama with
the high resolve to be worthy of a
place with the most exalted of those
who had preceded him. He demon
strated that a man may be scholar
a gentleman, and a successful bust
ness man, and still follow the stage
as a profession" These same worthy
principles have been instilled In the
minds of his sons, Joseph and vii

Admirers of the late Richard Mans
field will hear with satisfaction that
the eminent actor left substantial
fortune estimated at from 100000 to
100000. Too often the public has
been shocked to learn that a popular
stage favorite, who must have earn
ed far more than competence by
his art, has died in poverty; and
benefit performances for the Deepen
dents of actors who should have died
rich have been so common as to ex
cite little surprise.
Much may be conceded to the ar
tistic temperament, which finds at
tention to money matters irksome
| but with the rewards of moderate
dramatic ability SO great as they nov
are they can be no good reason, II

large incomes. 1t is time that "bene

OUR BEST PEOPLE SAY 1T
is THE BEST EVER

1.-THE Van Amburg show Is the Jest
ever seen in Atlanta" This is the
universal pronouncement of all our
best people interviewed on the sub
ject. This is not only for the price,
but at any price. There is not too
much of it, as is often the case with
so many of the big shows. The spec
tator does not get tired with be-
wildering array of acts, and lose in
terest. 1t is an all-feature show,
nothing tame or stale about it. The
side show is high class. The menag-
erie contains first-class animals, clean
healthy and large. The horses and
all the equipment are clean, well kept
and of the best. There is nothing
shoddy or shabby. In the arena the
seating is close to the performers,
giving an excellent view of ever act.
And every act is good. There are
several features of the old-fashioned
circus, dear to our boyhood days,
some that are too frequently left out
of the big shows in recent years.
These are the several kinds of bare
back riding.
The most agreeable part of the
Van Amburg experience is the polite
ness and accommodation of all OF the
employees. A sweating stake mauler
