Thrilling Play at Riiou.

Few plays presented at the Bijou
have created the comment and at
tracted the crowds that Northern
Lights" has. This play, as Offered
by Eddie Black and his players this
week, is a thriller Well worth while
The plot is exceptionally strong The
action is quick, the lines snappy. The
representation of the aurora borealis
in the last act Is one Of the spec
tacular features, and never fails "a
win applause. Eddie Black Is cast
for a clever comedy role, and he does
full Justice to the part. Edwin Vail
and Miss Marie Claire also appear to
great advantage. The play Is given
under the personal supervision of
Walter NanDyke on an elaborat e
scale.

great city is at stake" said the
Mayor
With the postponement Of the cleo
ton from May to May 25 the Mayor
claimed there would be plenty of time
to conduct winning campaign, be-
cause the people now were fully &C
quainted with the necessity Of i'm
provements 10 their citys unsightly
"gulch."
II his proposition is met with favor
by the County Executive Committee
he will urge Council to authorize the
submission Of both bond issues to the
people at one time The bonds will
be voted on by separate ballot, and
it will be within the right of the
voter to support one issue and reject
the other, or TO vote for or against
both.
Newspapers to Aid.
James f. Gray, OF The journal, said
he would lend his best efforts to have
these two questions placed before the
people at one time-as soon as posi-
bile He will also assist in securing
the consent of the candidates for
county election for the pOstponement.
Clark Howell Of The Constitution,
agreed to do all in his power to put
through both projects. He did not
believe there would he any difficulty
in convincing the candidates in the
necessity of the ostponement-on the
contrary. he vas sure they would
readily agree.
Keats Speed of The Georgian and
American, urged that the question be
taken up editorially, as it meant so
much to the city MI Speed said The
Georgian was heartily in favor OF
both projects and would lend them its
support.
The conference. assuming that all
the candidates would willingly agree
to the putting over Of the election,
requested Mayor Woodward to draw
up resolution or prepare a message
to Council urging the members to
support the scheme and authorize a
1900 900 bond election for plaza i'm
provements.
Although there will be an adjourn
ed meeting Of Council Wednesday af-
ternoon to act on the Grady bonds, It
is not likely that the plaza PROPOSE
ton will be given consideration until
the Councils regular meeting next
Monday
Indications are that the plaza prof.
ect will meet with the unanimous APP
prevail of the Council. as q recent
canvass OF that body showed that
every member was in favor of the
scheme
1t also Is expected that the County
Executive Committee will readily
agree to the postponement OF the
election, and. as far as can be seen
now, there win be nothing to hinder
the submission of the issue at an
election which will be held on May %
1t is the desire of Mayor Wood
ward, the Plaza Committee and the
Cham Der of Commerce that the plaza
bonds and the Grady bonds he the
only issues placed before the people.
Objections to asking the people to
vote for the plaza bonds before the
meeting of the Legislature we're also
discussed at Tuesdays meeting. The
agreed that If the city
went before the Legislature with the
of the people 1t would be the
argument that could be pre-
sented for its consent.
