large audience seemed TO enjoy the

Girl in the Taxi" is farce, broad,
roaring impossible farce, and the
amusing situations succeed one an
Other SO fast that there is no time for
reelection on the promiscuous trihing
with marriage ties.
The Girl in the Taxi is Mignon,

OF his periodical visits TO New York,

the thing along. incidentally Percy
is married 10 an estimable young lady
with a lisp, who happens TO be Stew

sary to the complications are BERTHE
Stewart, the callow son of the presi-
dent of the society, who is quite
willing to learn high-life under COM
petent instruction, and his doting
mamma who is properly shocked at
the thought of her darling being in
love.
Although everybody had retired os-
tensibly for the night, all the male
inmates OF the Stewart household
turn up in popular cafe, and THE
Girl in the Taxi" is there, too, to as
sist in the instruction OF Berthe.
There are also some chorus girls and
great deal OF champagne. Also
Major Smith of the Thirty-seventh
New Jersey National Guard. With
these elements TO start with, some
lively scenes might be expected, and
there are plenty of them, enough to
keep the audience in a constant up
roar.
In the morning come the explana-
tions TO the doting mamma and the
trusting wife with the lisp and things
go along very we'll, even though the
heao waiter of the night before is
found to be the new butler in the
Stewart household, until Major Smith,
who has returned to his normal char

bursts in and lets some of the cats
out OF the bag and is followed by

ends with laugh.

Jules Ferrar, as the truculent major
and manufacturer of perfume, does
well in his part, and so do Walter
Morton as the dignified president,

and Ralph j. Herbert. as the husband
who is sick of Philadelphia. Margaret
Baxter is q good doting. mamma, and
Jules Cluzzettl. one OF the original

WOMAN MOOSEFR|
HERE To RALLY
CA. SISTERS
Mrs. NJ. E. Long, Special En-
voy of T. r., Is a Conserva-
tive Progressive.

In Mrs, NJ. f. Long, of New York,
who came to Atlanta as special envoy
of the Bull Moose national committee
to rally Georgia women, the Roosevelt
party has a conservative Progressive,
a believer in woman's suffrage, but not
suffragette VINO thinks that Woman's
influence should be educational first
and political last.
From this angle Mrs. Long will try
to convince Georgia women that the
Progressive party should have their
support, If not in open and unqualified
adherence at least in sympathy.
Can women forever stand in the
background and not realize the duty
that they owe to themselves and their
sisters?' she asked. Il had not been in
Atlanta 30 minutes before | read in
The Georgian a statement of your vice
commission that many young women
took to the streets because they were
not paid living wage.
can Atlanta women or any women
where this exists overlook their own
guilt in this? All the time they are
sitting calmly and letting this condition
go on they are sharing in the crime
for it is a crime. Women must first
rise to their duty as women.
Il am here not as a political dele
gate from the Progressive party
merely to rally the women of Georgia
to the party's cause, but to make them
feel that they are a part of great
movement that is bigger than a mere
party.
ut is like missionary work. this
campaign among women for the Pro-
gressive party. 1t is rousing women to
a responsibility which heretofore they
have evaded or did not know existed. -"
Mrs Long did not insist that the
Progressive party would sweep the
country. She said that she would be
content to know that the ideas of the
new party had taken root
I'VE can wait four years." she said.
1T isn't such long time"
Mrs Long expects to be in Georgia
until the state is organized in Pro-
gressive leagues, following a plan in
operation in other sections.
1t has been the plan of the women
high in the councils of the Progressive
party to insist upon one or more wom-
en-at least one Woman-on each state
or central committee and each county
committee attached to the state and
county headquarters.

burglars visit. But the butler did and
he armed himself with revolver.
The burglar called a day or two ago
and the first loot he gathered was the
buffers pistol, which had been left on
the dining room table. He picked up a
few other trifies, when the butler en-
