TELEPHONE COMPANY
TO ASSIST EMPLOYEES
IN BUYING BONDS

Colonel w. T. Gentry, President of
the Southern Bell Telephone and Tel
egaph Co., and the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co, announces
that the Bell System, comprising the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company and associate companis, has
subscribed for $5,O0O,00O of the sec
ond Liberty Loan Bonds on behalf of
themselves and their employees.
The subscription of the Southern
group, of which Colonel Gentry is
President, amounts to $35O,O0O. Of
this the Southrn Bell Company and
its employees subscribes $165,000, and
the Cumberland Company and its en-
ployes $185,O00.
1t is stated that the subscriptions
are to be allotted to the federal re-
serve districts in which the companies
operate, in proportion to the quotas
assigned by the Teasury Department
to the various federal reserve dis
tricts, so that each district will get
credit for its proportionate share of
the subscriptions
All of the Bell Companies have ar
ranged to advance the necessary
funds on liberal terms to their en-
ployes who wish to subscribe to the
second liberty loan. 1t is believed
that a large number of Bell employees
will make individual subscriptions
and that this plan will enable many
to buy bonds, who otherwise could
not participate in the loan.

KLAW & ERLANCER'S BEN
HUR" AT THE ATLANTA
THEATRE, ATLANTA. GA.

Spectacular magnificence, drama
tic splendor and religious ecstacy are
the most notable concomitants OF
Klaw G. Erlanger's massive produc-
tion of "Ben Hur", which will be the
offering for an entire weeks en-
| gagement at the Atlanta Theatre,
beginning Monday evening, Noyem-
Der 5th. During the seventeen years
which have passed since the original
production of this noble drama It's
owners have not only kept it up to
its original gradeur, but have elabor-
ated and developed the possibilities
of the production each season, un-
til today it stands unrivalled in beauty
of establishment, unsurpassed in dra-
matte magnificence and power.
Dealing with the earth life of
Jesus, the most important period in
history, "Ben Hur" shows She world
at it's most wonderful point IN mag
nificence and wealth, for Rome ruled
the world and Caesar Augustus was
emperor of the mightiest realm the
earth had known Into this time of
display and pomp came the lowly Ma
zarene, Christus for whom the nation
had longed, and it is this personality
of Jesus that, permeating the fabric
of the Wallace Young drama, makes
it a sermon as we'll as drama of
tremendous significance.
The chariot race will be the most
effective reality ever seen in a thea
ire, either in this country or abroad.
It's development into an actuality may
be considered the triumph of stage
craft. In this incident twenty horses
and five chariots will be shown ap-
parently racing at break-neck speed,
the animals galloping with all their
power. Every vital interest describ-
ed by General Wallace in his book
will be seen when the play is present
ed at the Atlanta Theatre.
This will be the greatest represen-
tation of "Ben Hur" ever given in At
lanta. To present the marvellous
spectacle no less than $50 people are
required.
Patrons of "Ben Hur" are earnest
ly requested by the management to
be in their seats promptly at eight
O'Clock in the evening and two o'clock
in the afternoon, as the curtain will
rise promptly at those hours on the
marvelously beautiful tableau, "The
Star of Bethlehem, which requires
the entire auditorium to be darkened,
and it will be inl possible to seat late
