Foremost Enemy of Liquor in the
South Gives His General Views
on That Question.

Who is the greatest actor in Geor-
gia?
Not such an easy question to an
swer, at first blush, to be sure, for
Georgia is full of actors, good, bad,
and indifferent-they may be found
in politics, in the pulpits, in the law
yers' offices, in the hospitals, and
even in an occasional newspaper
sanctum.
The greatest actor in Georgia, how
ever, is Seaborn Wright, Of Floyd
county-noted prohibition leader, far
famed orator and lecturer and sworn
eternal enemy of Demon Rum!
Had Seaborn Wright elected to
carve out a career for himself behind
the footlights rather than in the
forums Of debate, politics and the
law, he long ago would have sur
passed Bob Mantell and Otis Skin
ner to the piker class.
To Mr., Wright. all the world is a
waiting and impatient audience. di-
vided into the snug ariStoCracy of
wealth in the boxes, the almost mid
die classes in the orchestra, the com
mon or garden variety of folks in the
balconies and the mob galleries.
He realizes the vital necessity of
interesting, entertaining, and thrill
ing as many observers and critics as
he canal the way from the boxes
to the peanut roost. He overlooks
no bets-he acts his best always for
the entire audience He undertakes
TO give It something, in every phase
of it, TO remember him by.
But what he knows, and knows
well, is that there are more people
in the balconies and the galleries
than there are in the boxes and the
orchestra
Wants Well Set Stage.
Because, therefore, Seaborn Wright
is a great actor. and strives TO reach
the hearts of his big audiences, and
to wiring from them applause. APP
prevail and admiration he believes
COusCientiously in "a well set stage
carefully worked out climaxes, and
enough red fire and rafting of the
thunder-sheets to keep things lively
and insure the full psychological ef-
feet of the tout ensemble.
Mr.. Wright never wastes his his
trioniC art. He is intense, earnest
vehement, He effects manuerisms,
rants, pleads, Weeps, laughs, sneers-
it's an I'm the game. and ever and al
ways he has a definite and fixed pur-
pose in mind, the which will be de-
veloped before the show is over. BE

"For a long time we have
thought it a most unfortunate
matter that selections from the old
classics are used so extensively in
our schools, while no similar head

the education of our youth.
"1t may we'll be considered as
serious question as to whether

his obligations to society, the
