No. earthly Joys can last.

Savannah Line.

There is one curious thing about a
trip to the resort regions Of Georgia
and Florida. The first trip USUALLY
creates habit. Once a New Eng
lander has basked in the sunshine of
those glorious beaches, strolled in
light clothes over golf course or
vaulted across "a tennis court, driven
under magnificent trees through tenn
pered warmth past scenery of tropical
beauty, or to sbe more prosaic, merely
sat in rocking chair on a hotel or
boarding house ,veranda (he boarding
houses of the coast regions of Georgia
and Florida are Justly famous) he is
sure to want5toe1ne back again. Just
being alive is a pleasure in such
climate.
Another reason for the growth OF
this Southern travelling habit is the
unusual excellence of the transporta
tion facilities between New England
and the South The Savannah Line"
has long been subject of Favorable
comment among New Englanders. In
addition to being the only direct route
from New England to the South, this
Line maintains a service of unsur-
passed comfort, convenience and even
luxury. The Steamship City of At
lanta" is admittedly the finest coast
wise vessel leaving Boston Earbor; to
sail in her once is to become en-
thusiastic over her qualities. The
sleeping quarters are unusually spa
cious and the cuisine is especially good.

u HEA RICAI. BEHSNLISI ONSE
AGAIN COMES TO BAT
The theatrical blacklist which
works quietly among booking agen-
cies against any actor or actress who
may dare to oppose the whims of an
agent was bitterly criticized today by
Richard ]. knight, state factory in
spector. The case of Nicholas Gui-
stad aroused his ire.
Guistad with his wife and another
plays under the name ''The Guistad
Trio making the 100000" cir
cults. He has been out of a position
for sometime and went to see Claude
Doyle, booking agent at 166 w.
Washington st.
Although a law says that a book
ing agent may not collect registra-
ton fee of more than 81, Doyle took
$50 of the foreigners money, prom
Using him in return ten weeks on the
Sullivan-Considine circuit at $135
week. He was also to get 10 per cent
of the $135 after Guistad went out on
the road.
GuiStad waited for several weeks
for the contract with the S. and G.
circuit, and when he visited Doyle's
office he did not find him in. So he
went to see Knight.
Then comes the trouble. If Gui-
stad testifes against Doyle, a war
rant for whom is now out, booking
agents will blacklist him. His chances
of getting a position among these are
slim.
Every time 1 think 1 have the
goods on some crook run against
this theatrical blacklist" declared
Knight today. 'The poor actors, de-
frauded, are willing enough to tell
me of their troubles, but when they
have their money back and the power
of the booking agent has set wheels
to working the actor is afraid to ap-
pear in court against him. The only
hone of the actor is in organization.
