Al WILSON AND
GOLDEN VOICE
STILL PLEASE
German Comedian PIeaSes Admir-
ers in Made-to-0rder Play
at Atlanta Theater.
BY CARLETON COLLIER.

1t is great thing to be hero with
a golden voice and a magnificent
presence and an ingenious little
laugh, and to have an entire show
written so that you will have an OPP
portunity or two to MARBLE your love
to your lady, and to be master of the
situation generally. In such a cir
cumstance there are always scores of
ladies' to split their white gloves
a-clapping for you, and there is that
ubiquitous and unfailing adjective
"cute" as your reward, as in the case
of AL Wilson, at the Atlanta last
night
But here and there in your audience
Is always a person to wonder why one
man should be so infallible a hero,
and what the show is all about, and
why the situations are written so OBJ
viOusly and patiently to allow the
gentleman with, the golden voice and
the winsome laugh to be the Romeo
and the bouncer oy turns, even giving
him the opportunity to strum an air
or two on the piano.
But then. this agnostic- minded ele-
sons show last night, it seemed. A
most loyal assembly was gathered
there to greet the singer in his new
show, "a Rolling Stone" in which he
Is depicted as a rather fetching vaga-
bond who marries a great lady whom
he had known for less time than 1t
would take to wheedle drink out of
q male stranger.
Mr., Wilson is an excellent comedian
as well as a naive Romeo. He is aid
ed with the funmaking of Lizzie Will
son and Harry West, who, like him,
are adept manipulators of a German
dialect But Al Wilson's most effect
i've aid in the show is a kindergarten
chorus of six girls of years so tender
that were they off the stage they
would be just toddling out of the care
of nurses. They, too, were cute" the
audience said, quite openly.
Altogether, the show won a warm
hand. AL Wilson is the hero of con-
siderable following in Atlanta.

Character Sketch
Feature at Forsyth.

Two acts, one of them of really eX-
ceptional merit, save the weeks show
at the Forsyth from becoming hum
drum. The first is the sketch of Hugh
Herbert, Thomas Herbert and Mar
garet williams, called The Son of
Solomon" For clever character work
and for much fun intermingled with
heart throbs, the act is one of the
best of vaudeville performances. 1t Is
the story of an attractive, simple
minded old Jew, and his loyal daugh-
ter and his hayward son. Hugh Her
bert does great things with the char
acter of the old man.
The second act is that of an old IA
vorite, Eddie Girard. who, with Jessie
Gardner, have a sketch in two scenes
Girard finds opportunity to put on the
monkey characterization that made
him famous.
The remainder of the bill is made
up of conventional vaudeville acts.
Henrietta Wilson and company, in a
novelty shooting feature, open the
show The act is that of a young
woman who handles a rifle and re-
volver with a skill and accuracy that
a Buffalo Bill would envy. The au-
dience seemed to like the Five Melody
Boys very well, indeed Eddie Borden
and Irene Shannon. very energetic
young man and woman. are billed as
the acme of artistic versatility. James
Thornton, monologist, is an old &C
qUaintance Quite a loyal greeting
came for him when he appeared on
the stage yesterday, and in response
he talked agreeably for some time.
A hard working, capable circus
family Of tumblers, the Carl Dam.
mann troupe, have a gymnastic and
acrobatic act with which the bill ends.

GRAIN SHORTAGE
1880 MILLION
BUSHELS
Wheat, Oats, Rye and Barley De-
fciency Not Made Up by
Potato Crop.

Serious shortage exists in the
worlds crop of grain for 1918. The
supply is nearly 10 per cent less than
last year. The total deficiency ag-
gregates 1850, 900, 900 bushels of the
five grain staples. This shortage is
not made up by potatoes, the worlds
supply of which is not greater than
last year. and Soc. 900 900 bushels less
than the worlds normal potato crop
Of 1910.
These amazing conclusions are in
dicated by the preliminary report
upon worlds crops and the future of
prices, prepared by Orange Judd
Southern Farming of Atlanta. This
authority emphasizes that the four
eadstuffs-wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley-will probably be 500, 900, 900 BUSH
els less this year than in 1912. 100000
900 bushels less than two years ago
but 4 per cent more than in the 1910
crop.
Unless Russia and Argentina con-
clude the year with much greater
yields than now seems possible. She
worlds wheat production will be only
about 100,000,00 bushels more than
last year. This will be an Increase of
only per cent over the supply of
wheat produced throughout the world
In 1912.
OF grave importance also is the
European shortage in rye, because
even more than wheat, is rye the
breadstufr of the teeming millions Of
Europe. Europe may have only l.
100000 bushels of rye of the 1918
crop. or 13O,OOO,OOO bushels less than
last year.
With smaller crop In North Amer
lea than last year by more than 3OO.-
100000 bushels. and with another
100. 100000 deficit elsewhere. the
worlds crop OF oats may be 10 per
cent less than last year, a decrease OF
400, 900, 900 bushels, in spite of the
fact that Russia has the most prodig-
ious oats crop in its history, 00O,-
100000 bushels.
Barley is much less than usual in
Nortn america, out the worlds total
yield may come up to the normal
amount.
Great Britain and Europe east of
Russia, the wheat-importing regions
of the world, will need to import be-
tween 00.000,000 and 700. 900, 900 BUSH
els during the coming year, calling
for every bushel of surplus wheat.
In the case OF corn, only about ESQ.,
100000 out OF an average worlds sup
ply of 1850, 100000 bushels is con-
sumed in the corn-im importing coun-
tries. but the surplus this year is so
reduced that It is a question whether
any such quantity can be spared.
Southern Farming adds: THE area
Of fall-sown oats and other grains
will be greatly increased this month
throughout the South. as a result OF
the world wide shortage. Next year
will see more acres devoted to corn
and small grains in the South than
ever before"

ATLANTA GOES
RIGHT AFTER
BANKERS
Georgia Delegation at Boston in
Determined Fight to Get 1914
Convention.

BOSTON. Oct If the next con-
vention of the American Bankers
Association is not held in Atlanta it
Will not be due to the fact that he
Atlanta delegates to the convention
being held in this city failed to do
their duty.
The Atlanta men and also every
other Georgian delegate started a
vigorous campaign to-day toward
landing the convention for Atlanta
next year. Headed by w. P. Venable,
of Atlanta, and President L. B. Hill
yer, of the Georgia Bankers Assoc
citation, the Southerners went at their
task as though it was the biggest
thing on the program, which in IL
self is of fairly good dimensions.
So far. Atlanta is the only city
being doomed Several other cities
have been mentioned, but no or
ganized effort is being made other
than that waged bv the Georgians.
Active IN TINS work are w. V. Davis,
Savannah; Edwin Sterne, Albany; e.
ID.
McCord, Haines McFadden, John X
Ottley and Robert F. Maddox, of Al
lanta. Red lettered cards bearing
the legend, Atlanta 1914 and en-
amel buttons with the picture of big
watermelon are being circulated.
Toole Certain of Success.
John +. Toole, president of the
American Trust and Banking Com
pany of Albany, said to-day:
I'VE are going to win in this
campaign. Atlanta is the logical city
for the next convention. We have
every facility for holding big con-
vention."
And then Mr.. Toole gave these
chosen: Atlanta is the New York
of the South. 1t is the financial and
industrial center of our section Ot
the country. Atlanta is really grow
ing so fast that it is necessary that
these bankers should pay the city
a visit and see for themselves just
what we are doing, and again, these
boys must and will get a taste OF
real Southern cooking"
The Georgians are registered at the
Copley- Plaza Hotel.
Currency Bill Held Needless.
Edwin Sterne, of the Citizen First
National Bank of Albany, said:
ut is almost too early to say any,
thing because the general convention
will not be organized until Wednes-
day morning. There is a conference
this afternoon of the country bank
ers to discuss the currency question.
can tell you more after that meet
ing. $780,,
PERSONALLY, l am Of the opinion
that the pending currency legislation
is disadvantageous. We in Soutn-
ern Georgia do not feel the need of
it. There is plenty of money for
moving crops. Cotton has been NOV
ing for As days and the rush is over.
We can get along all right without
any government help. This whole
currency agitation is needless"
