To practically all theatre goers the
announcement that Mabel Paige Is
coming is a welcome one, as few &C
tresses anywhere enjoy such wide
acquaintance and marked popularity
among all classes as does this once
child actor, whose long career and
many triumphs in Dixie have made fit

bestowed upon her by the Atlanta
Constitution, THE Idol Of the South. .

ed and esteemed by the older folks
as she Is known and loved by the
younger has grown UP in and with the
evolution Of the theatre IN the South
ern states. She has played since a
child In the same cities and towns
where she plays today, and in many
Of them when the best theatres, and
but few cities boosted OF more than

from those who regularly patronize
the higher priced attractions, but ig

tried and proved successes, In man
