HAMLET WILL Be

Avon Players at the Atlanta theatre

In the SO years since the Shakespeare
Memorial theatre was established the
Stratford players have had the advanJ-
age of acting with the foremost stars
Of the English stage during the annual
festivals held in Stanford. In every
production they have had the advice
of the leading Shakespearean author
tiles, so that the plays as they give
them are Illuminated with the imagin-
alton and thought of master minds.
The engagement will conclude Sat

American stage The Stratford Ham
let has an atmosphere all its own, ac-

MILLINERY AND MOVIES
TROUBLING MACON COPS

Macon, Ga, Feb 6.-(Special)-Be-
cause he did not comply with the law
which prohibits women from wearing
hats in theaters, L. A. Mitchell, mana
ger of a local picture theatre, was to-
day arraigned before Recorder Cocn-
ran and fined $15 Mitchell admitted
that he was technically guilty of vio-
lating the law, but that his attempts
to enforce it had been the hardest work
he had ever undertaken in his life.
This is a serious matter" said Re-
corder Cochran in fning Mitchell.
People pay to see the picture show
and not a millinery display. When a
man or woman had to occupy a seat
behind a woman wearing a large pi*-
ture hat, they are unable to get their
moneys worth, and it is nothing more
or less than cheating and swindling
or the part of the theater manag :
ment."
Mr.. Mitchell has appealed to Chief
of Police Riley for two of his men to
be detailed in the theater to compel
the women to remove their headgear.
He declares that if women persist in
wearing hats they will be summoned
before the recorder.

PRISON STRIPES
FOR CASHIER OF
STRANDED BANK
FIVE YEARS COMING TO HIN
Cashier CaSOR Convicted Of
EmbezzIemGnt

Atlanta, Feb. 6.-Although numer-
Gus issues were raised in the appea!
of the case of J. H. Carson, former
cashier of the Bank of Grassland, con-
victed of embezzlement and sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary the
court of appeals failed to find merit in
any of the contentious, and affirmed
the verdict of the lower court.
However, Judge Russell dissented
from the majority view of the court
and will file his dissenting opinion
later. Carson was cashier of the
Bank of Grassland and a shortage was
discovered Investigation traced it
to the cashier, and he was indicted on
six counts, the total shortage aggre-
eating $I644.
Cason never made any denial Of the
shortage or any attempt to get away.
For some time he was out and under
no bond, but he remained in Cross
land.
One of the issues raised in the ap-
peal was to the effect that they could
not prosecute Cason for embezzlement
since it was not a properly constituted
banking institution under the laws Of
the state. This was based on the
point that in the organization notes
were taken for some of the stock sub
scriptions. However, the court of ap-
peals did not sustain this point.
Another contention was that the in
dictment failed to set forth that Ca
son took the money with any intent to
steal it. 1t is held that the word
steal" implies q taking and carry
ing away and a criminal conversion.
Under this decision Cason will have
to serve out his fve-year sentence in
the penitentiary.
