HAS THE GREAT VAMPIRE
OF THE FILM CLAIMED
A VICTIM IN REAL LIFEs

ATLANTA, Ca, March 8.-Has the
great vampire of the films unwittingly
claimed a victim in real ife? A man
supposed to be w. E. Brown, of Indian
apolis, shot himself through the heart
here, with a picture of Theda Bara in
his pocket.
The analogy of the mans act with
that of many imaginary victims" on
the screen who Stay themselves be-
cause of the supposedly evil fascina-
ton of the vampire woman's" face,
has led even the police here to specu.
late on whether an unspoken love for a
woman he had never except on the
screen was the cause of Browns sui
eide.
The victim was well dressed, and ap-
parently refined and prosperous,
though only small amount of money
was found on his person when the po-
lice broke down the door of the room
after the pistol shot.
The only other thing they found in
his pocket. beside bunch OF keys and
a knife, was the picture Of "Theda
Bara" as "The Darling of Paris" and q
circular describing her deadly charms.
There is such thing as auto-sug-
gestion, and the police believe that
perhaps the man became first fascinat-
ed by Theda Bara's face, and that at
forwards seeing men STAY themselves
or die on the screen for love of her
may have suggested to him the idea Of
ending his own life.

MRS. FRANKLIN'S APPEAL
TO GEORGIA DAUGHTERS.

Mrs. Herbert M. Franklin, of Ten
mile, state president of the Georgia
division of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, makes an earnest appeal
to the Georgia Daughters to provide a
new banner for the veterans who Will
march this year at the reunion IN
Washington.
Each year the ranks of the comrades
in gray grow thinner and it behooVes
the South to pay all honor to her he
roes as they march past in their year
ly reunion.
"The Confederate veterans Of our
state would like very much to have a
new banner" said Mrs. Franklin, to
carry to the reunion in Washington
The old banner which they have used
for so many, many years is worn t.
shreds. Let us, then. present them
with a new banner which will do
credit to Georgia. This may be done
easily by each chapter sending con-
tribution of 81 or more to the statE
treasurer, Mrs. R. A. Grady, 40 Pars
avenue, East Savannah. If each con
tribution is marked for the U. G. V
banner the amount will be raised In
very short time"

is SHORT SKIRT CRAZE
BEING CARRIED TOO FAR?

ATLANTA. Ca, March S.-Reform
ers. club women and teachers in At
lanta are beginning to wonder If the
short skirt craze is not being carried
too far.
They declare you won't see any
more extremes of fashion on Broad
way than you will on Peachtree street
in Atlanta or Canal stree in New
Orleans or the principal thorough
fares of other up to date" southern
cities.
1t is nothing unusual to see full
grown girl or even a young married
woman of attractive figure, attired in
a skirt that comes up half way to her
knees and when the wind blows or
the lady mounts a street car, nothing
is left to the imagination of the pop
eyed beholder.
A iaded business man can stand on
Peachtree street on a windy day and
see a great deal more than he can in
musical comedy, with certainly an
excellence Of "class" that renders the
spectacles vastly more interesting.
And can you blame him for looking
when the ladies wear such pretty
shoes and attractive stockings?

DEVIL, SAINT AND WOMAN.

After her uncle's death, young
girl finds herself under the subtle
spell of the executor of the estate, an
uncanny Spaniard possessing a Me-
phistophelian nature and likeness.
Fresh from her sheltered life at con-
vent school, and inexperienced in the
ways of the world, she serves as plas-
tic material for the Spaniard to mold
to his hypnotic will, and to carry out
his dictates to further evil In the
world. Gradually the Saint becomes
the Devil, and aided by her great
wealth becomes a menace to human
ity.
But the perverted soul and clouded
life finally has an awakening. Through
the strong personality of young doc
tor engaged in lettering the deplorabls
conditions existing in the tenement
di,trictss, the dawn Of her salvation
begins. Brought in contact with him
by chance, he investigates her pecui-
lar case further and then begins a
battle of whistle doctors against
her devil self, and the hypnotic subtil-
itie sof the Spaniard.
The fight is finally won and from
cut of the vanquished evil self emery
es the true woman-the shackles OF
sin severed and replaced by the bonds
of love. At Opera House, Thursday,
