Mr.. Ffnlcy's death in Washington

Tuesday morning, just after he had
arisen for the day. lie felt i'll when
he arose, and while his wife was as
sisting him he fell unconscious, in

hours later without regaining con-

great city. The er-superlative nerve
Of Atlanta, for one thing-its unmiti-

For instance, suppose Atlanta should
be visited by a big fire to-night-a con-
fagraton that consumed the Piedmont
Hotel and all the adjacent property.
The Atlanta newspapers tomorrow all
would yell themselves hoarse oyer what
BIG fire 1t was, not what disastrous

They would assure the public, in
screaming headlines of black and red,
that never before, in the history OF the
entire world, had any city anywhere
at any time had such a magnificent fire.
The Chicago fire, the Baltimore fire, and
the Jacksonville fire, all would be small
potatoes beside the Atlanta specimen.
It's smoke would be played up as the
most dense and awe-ins piring; it's heat
would be designated the very hottest
this side of-well, you know. The
crowds attending the fire would be pho
tographed, and in the news story null
tiplled by five, or six, or fourteen.
Then, after the bgness of the fire

Where lately had stood the beautiful,
twelve-story Piedmont, a new forty or

MAY IRWIN : FUN
FIRST AID To
CYCLING
Ample Coincidence, in Farce
BrimfuI of Clever Lines, De-
lights Atlanta Patrons.
By TARLETON COLLIER.

While your are so much occupied
with laughing at May Irwin and with
May Irwin, you are likely TO overlook
The fact that some slight need Of
praise is due Catherine Chisholm
Gushing, who wrote widow by
Proxy" I'm which, at the Atlanta, May
Irwin appeared Tuesday night.
Unless, as some Of us suspect, Miss
Irwin improvises a big part OF the
lines out Of her store of natural hu-
NOR the playwright Is to be patted on
the back for having written some
very funny and very clever things,
OF course, Widow by Proxy" is not
by any means play that the teChni-
clans and the drama leagues would
acclaim gloriously
1t Is n farce comedy, and, as you
all know, in the canons Of art the
farce comedy is to be damned with
scant praise The parts other than
Miss Twins are obvious and a little
crude However, all that is strain
ing at a gnat, and nobody who saw
the show Tuesday was conscious Of
much but his wholesome enjoyment of
the work Of Miss Irwin.
The stalWart Coincidence Is on the
stage very nearly all Of the time, for
tunately. And she is after all, well
deserving OF her title as one Of the
best Of comedy actresses, The laugh
that went up for her Tuesday night
was prolonged howl, beginning
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
$50 O'Clock and lasting until nearly
H. Being so much in tho habit OF
laughing after a while, the audience
even forgot to leave Off their giggles
when the one near serious moment Of
the play came in the third act.
The story is that Of Gloria Grey
music teacher, who has spent all her
money, and who Is overwhelmed by
bills. and besieged by creditors Not
funny and rather heroic thing, as
Miss irwin. playing Gloria Grey,
demonstrates to you. However, in
her home, Is IA widowed friend, Do
iores Pennington, who Is not recog-
nized because OF her former stage
connections by the arlstocratic fam
ily Of her dead husband An inner
itance falls to the widow, through
the lamented husband. She refuses
to enter the house OF her snobbish
relatives by marriage. Gloria Grey,
very dynamic young woman, see
ing that her friend needs the money,
impersonates the widow, goes into
the ancestral halls. wins over the IL
tle-loving aunts, captivates the
brother OF her supposed husband and
all goes well Then the husband
turns up, not dead after all But
everything Is we'll at the end
Widow by Proxy" will be at the
