full play. 1t treats a great and pow
erful subject graphically and in such
a way as to grip the attention every
minute of the performance.
The play is built upon a thorough
ly modern theme, viz: the influence
Of thought upon the lives and we'll
being Of the men and women of our
present day.
That thought, intangible and evan
escent as it is, is still Z force, q
power, a theory that has for some
time past engaged the serious at
tention of our foremost psycholo-
gists. but its portrayal upon the
stage has been neglected heretofore:
The play attacks the theme
boldly. 1t deals with the lives ana
fortunes of a little group of people
living in the beautiful West Chester
country near New York City. The
husband is a disbeliever in all re-

conviction regarding faith in the
things of life unseen. Strong in his
belief and thoroughly human, a
priest moves through the subtle
story of this play. When doubts
come and the man and woman's
lives are shattered, seemingly be-

priest analyses the situation and by
the power Of his faith brings both

BANKING BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE
Vote Was SOTO 3-Afternoon
Sessions Start Thursday to
End of Session

With only three dissenting votes the
Joint house and senate bank biIi approv-
ed BY the Georgia Bankers association.
was passed in the state senate Thurs
day morning.
The voluminous manuscript has occu-
pied the time Of the upper house since
Tuesday at noon. when the third read
ing was commenced. Despite the fact that
the amendments were allowed to be pro-
posed and tackled on as the reading pro-
crossed. instead OF waiting for the en-
tire bill to be read and then gone over
for such changes as were deemed neces-
sarys it was not possible to have the bill
ready for its passage Wednesday as was
expected. -
The mass OF amendments that were
offered by nearly every senator in the
chamber were as a general rule unani-
mously adopted with as little interrup-
ton to the reading as possible.
Among the leaders there seemed to be
a desire to get the thing over with.
thereby accomplishing a reform that has
been agitated for nearly four years with
little or no real progress until now, and
all minor changes in the bill were ac-
copied without argument. In only few
instances was there any fight on certain
phases of the bin, and the arguments
were friendly and in cooperation with
the authors Of enactment.
BY unanimous consent the bill was
transmitted Immediately to the house.
POWER OF SUPERINTENDENT.
What is considered the most important
phase OF the bill is the power vested In
the superintendent to order at any time
on examination OF any bank in the state
where he deems such examination nee
essary.
/ The authors OF the bfll have. IN this
section, provided for the protection Of
stockholders and depostiors alike in all
cases where a bank Is considered IN
safe.
