He Blames Stage
Door Johnnies.
Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
| have read with a great deal of
care all articles published i'll all At
lanta papers during the last few
days regarding the moral house
cleaning of Atlanta. In this move
the cheap theater is also included.
and along this line | would like to
offer suggestion to those inter-
ested in the work, and believe that
if they will follow my advice on
the matter, the cheap theater prob
lem will be solved in quick order
To begin with. | have been a the
atrical agent in Atlanta for twelve
years. and in close touch with the
theatrical situation here in all lines.
and have watched the cheap thea
ters and cheap shows and must ad-
init that it is serious.
The trouble with the cheap thea
ter does not lie with the employ
ment of these girls. but with the
stage Johnnies that hang around
the theater entrance and entice
these girls out to the clubs and
other resorts
There seems to be a fascination
for stage girls among a certain
class Of men. A girl may work in a
factory at three per and never be
molested, but let this same girl go
to work in chorus in one of the
local cheap theaters. and some one
of the Well known society Johnnies
will become attracted at once and,
with his automobile to back his
liashy dress, he does not find it
hard to tempt these girls after the
show for a JOY ride
Now, let the police and good
workers get after the Johnnies.
Let Judge Broyles send a few of
the would-b be sports to the stockade
for a long period and you will soon
find that if YOU take away this
nuisance from the stage door the
girls will soon learn that they must
look upon the show business as
they do any other line. and as a
means of making a good salary.

XXTHAT necrOmancy lies in little things!
w yellow rose, set yellow jar
Smiled through the window of a city shop
And 10! the hot street vanished, and the voice
OF blatant commerce suddenly was hlshed
| seemed to walk along cool corridors
Where fountains played and priceless statues gleamed
Out from an alcove tiptoed tender notes
Of harp strings, lightly touched; laughed,
And silken garments, kissing marble floors
EXhaled fragrance subtle their sound.
No discords married the harmony of life
Beauty and mrh, and music made the world.
What necromancy lies in little things!
What necromancy lies in yagrant airs
Idle and happy, basking in the sun
Where art with nature held high carnival
One summer day there fell upon mine ear
A half forgotten melody. It hayed
My heart out into strings wherein the hand
OF Pain thrummed misereres, and the light
Splitting upon the earth from fawless skies
Was changed and charged with darkness From deep graves
Dead Sorrows rose with mould upon their shrouds:
And in the eyeless sockets of their skulls
Burned old despars. The haggard Past stood forth
And hid the radiant Present from my sight
What necromancy lies in vagrant airs!

Teach Boy to Take

Any boy who has been given this

will never stand before the world

Do you have to pay your boy Tor

every courtesy he shows?
Then why have you not taught
him to so love and respect you,
and to take such pride in himself
that he could not be small

What Children Want.

Children want to go somewhere.
They want to see things, and this
constant desire for motion, move
ment, new scenery, new ideas. new
sensations, is all natural part of
the great evolution of the individ-
ual.
The child learns through his
senses. and should learn in joy.
The thing that interests him. that
holds his attention is the thing
that is educating him,
The use of moving pictures is
being advocated in g great number
of schools, from the grades up to
ost-graduate courses.
There was a time when piano
in Il private home was considered
the very height of luxury. Now the
most modest cottage contains a
serviceable instrument.
l can remember when the Reming-
ton typewriter was exhibited at
Philadelphia at the Centennial ex-
position. Operators were desired,
and an advertisement was placed in
the Philadelphia papers for men or
women to run these machines. A
postscript was added to the adj
vertisement thus: only those who
can play the piano need apply"
1t was supposed that the degree
Of digital skill acquired in playing
a piano was requisite in running
