Pratt had one toe cut off and her foot
badly smashed this morning when the
cable of the freight elevator in the
Carter building, on which she was
standing. broke, allowing heavy weights
to fall from the top Of the shaft. For
tunately the elevator was within few
inches of the basement floor when the
accident happened, SO that the fall OF
the elevator was not great. Henry
Plat and two workmen were also In
the elevator at the time of the accident
but all occupants miraculously escaped
fatal injury. The falling weights,
which were Of great weight came down
with sufficient force to dig holes in thu
basement floor. Had they struck the
heads or other vital parts of any of
the people in the elevator fatalities un-
doubtedly would have resulted.
Mrs Platt was taken at once to
Mercy Hospital where she Is being OPP
Grated on this afternoon.
The Platts have Just returned from
Hugo. Colo. and are moving into the
Carter building. The elevator was load :
ed with their household goods.

PEG CHARMING
GIRL; At ONCE
WINS ATLANTA
BY CARLETON COLLIER.

Peg o My Heart" made known 10
fame and the thedtergoer by esery
form of publicity from bonoons TO
ballads, was all that fond fancy had
pictured it, and was unreservedly ap-
plauded at the Atlanta Monday night
by an eNtravagant audience that early
in the evening reached a stage of dot-
ing tenderness. The play undoubted-
~ is the treat of the season.
1t was just the sort of play TO
awaken pleasant emotion, being the
story Of wilful Irish girl possess
inc native wit in lieu Of education,
and an honest simplicity instead Of
culture. She Is flung suddenly into
the house of snobbish, superior rela-
tives, who are all that snobbish, su-
perior Britishers are expected to 1e.
Naturally, Peg has a hard time, from
the moment she is mistaken for
servant to the time she refuses the
hand of her superior Cousin Alaric.
Naturally. too, the folks in the
crowded Atlanta Theater Monday
night wondered how Laurette Taylor
might have done it. If Miss Blanche
Hall. who played the part made ia
nous by Miss Taylor, Is to be given
credit for any part of her interprefa-
ton of the role OF Peg, she must be
set down as an unusual actress. Even
-
of impersonation, and very desirable
naivete that is sustained SO thorough
ly that it appears her second nature.
Peg, Of course, is the play. There Is
a bit of love making, but the show Is
not one of erotiC sentiment. There IS
a bit-a very wee bit-of moraliZing,
but the play is delightfully."- without
problems or lessons. You are asked
altogether to watch red haired Irish
~irl, who wants to play and be happy
and natural, but into whose life-for
a little while, at least-is thrown OBJ
stacles to her desire.
The supporting company seemed all
that was necessary. 1t is rather
tiny group, containing only the moth
er, son and daughter who are Pegs
disdainful relatives, the likable young
Fnglishman who wins her at the last,
lordly butler. a lawyer who fits in
and out as the slender plot requires
him, an incidental maitland the
dogs Don't forget the dogs, who are
about the most desirable and self
possessed stage dogs ever seen in
these parts. There are two dogs, typ
flying the contending characters #

that might II anything" and The
fluffy poodle of the Chichesters.
Vivian Gilbert, playing Cousin
Alaric, was an excellent comedy
