STELLA MAYHEM is
STAR OF NEXT WEEKS
BILL AT THE FORSYTH

il is not often that Atlanta theatergoers
are fortunate enough to see an act as
high class as that presented by William
Rock and Maud Fulton at the Forsyth
this week For IL is seldom that such an
act leaves New York. Mr. Rock and Miss
Fulton are conceded to be two Of the best
dancers on the stage today and their act
alone would fully compensate for visit
to the Forsyth.
But there are other acts to entertain
the Forsyth patrons this week, too. And
every one OF them is an act well worth
seeing One is that of Catherine Hayes
and Sabel Johnson in "A Dream of Baby
Days There are five other splendid
acts on the bill this week.
After all the good things which Man
ager Cardoza has given to the Forsyth
patrons this summer, 1t hardly seems pos
sible for the bills to be improved upon.
But there is every indication that next
weeks bill will eclipse anything yet Of
fered to those who have been filling the
busy theater at every performance.
The star Of next weeks bill is Stella
Mayhem. famous musical comedy star.
of the year is unusual and will be treat
for those who appreciate vaudeville of
the highest class.
With her viii be several other noted
acts on the bill and the advance sale of
seats indicates a record breaking week.
And notwithstanding the fact that 1t is
hot weather, the Forsyth is cool and kept
cool by a system of perfect ventilation,
electric fans and iced air.
