THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Concerning our suggestion OF
the organization Of a middle Ten.
nessee Press Association, the es.
teemed Columbia Herald says;
THE Record suggests the or.
ganization of a Middle Tennessee
Newspaper Association, and adj.
vances some good reasons for the
suggestion. However, if such an
organization interfereS with the
State Press Association it would
be of doubtful benefit. The press
oil Tennessee should have a state
organization, We agree with
the Record that the state asso
citation should have larger
m embership. It would be better
to devote our energies toward
that end rather than to form ad-
diIional organizations
We unheSitstirgly agree that
any movement which Injuries the
State Association is not desirable.
bur we are very sure that the sub.
sidiary associa ions which we
su !geSt will not only not harm.
but will strengthen and build up
the state organization as no
other agent or agencies can do.
The state government is builded
upon and made stronger by the
existence and support of county
governments. The national gov
eminent is not weakened by rea.
sou of its forty-siX component
sovereigntieS. Every organized
entity which may hope to lor Q
endure must be builded on this
plan. We do not doubt that the
very reason our State Press AS
ISOLATION is so weak, and of so
little value to the great majority
of papers in the state, is because
OF this very fact, that it is top
heavy; that it has no sectional
or district subsidiary orgamza-
tious to develope an interest and
encourage an attendance on the
part of the absent brethren. The
State organization meets once a
year, is delightfully."- entertained

three sticks of wood once in two
in consideration of a bountiful Din

MAY IRWIN 8 FUN
FIRST AID To
G|GGL|NC
Ample Coincidence, in Farce
BrimfuI of Clever Lines, De-
lights Atlanta Patrons,
BY TARLETON COLLIER.

While you are so much occupied
with laughing at May Irwin and with
May Irwin YOU are likely to overlook
the fact that some slight need oi
praise is due Catherine Chisholm
Gushing. who wrote Widow by
PROXY" i'm which, at She Atlanta May
Irwin appeared Tuesday night
Unless. as some Of US suspect, Miss
Irwin imprOviSes y 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.
or course Widow by Proxy" is not
by any means a play that the techni-
clans and tho drama leagues won d
acclaim Glorlously.
1t is 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 Endt and nobody who saw
the show Tuesday was conscious OF
much but his wholesome enjoyment of
the worl, of Miss Irwin.
Tho stalwart Coincidence Is on the
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 IF
4: 30 o'clock and lasting until nearly
II. Being so much in the habit OF
laughing after a while, the audience
even forgot to leave off their giggles
when the one serious moment 81
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
paying your bills becomes a very
funny and rather heroic thing, as
Miss Irwin. playing Gloria Grey,
demonstrates to you. However, In
her home, is a widowed friend, Do
iOres Pennington, who Is not recog-
nized because of her former stage
connections by the aristocratic fam
lily 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,
a very dynamic young woman, see
ing that her friend needs the money,
impersonates the widow, goes into
the ancestral halls. wins over the I'll
tle-lovlng aunts, captivates the
brother. of her supposed husband and
all goes well Then the husband
turns up, not dead after all. But
everything is well at the end.
Widow by Proxy will be at the
Atlanta for a matinee Wednesday,
and performance Wednesday night.
