LYRIC

Romance and sentiment, heart
throbs and tears, sunshine and laugh
ter are the attributes of the new Jo-
seph Noel drama, pal O'Mine,"
which is to be next weeks attraction
by the Poll Players at the new Lyric
theatre. The sagacity of Manager
George Arvine in booking pal o.
Mine" is shown for he has always
demanded Punch" in his plays and
in pal o. Mine" he has this in
plenty. There are dramatic moments
that will startle and will make the
average patrons grasp their CHRIS and
sit spellbound as they wait for the
grand climax which comes like a
crash like the thunder of big guns.
With the deft touches that a mas
ter dramatist can conceive and mas
stage director visualize coupled with
the art OF such splendid players as
are in the cast of the resident COM
pany, the play will be carried on tt
a logical conclusion that tints the
shadows of life with the beautiful
colors Of love and happiness. The
story is built around the most grip
ping, powerful, pulsating theme tina
a comedy drama has been founded OIL
in some time and at the same TIM
gives ample opportunity for al
abundance of laughter.
The final performances of MARY

and tonight, to augment the serie
OF successes the players have beel
accorded this week.
Tomorrow night vivacious Mar

While many cities in Georgia cele-
brated, prematurely, the good tidings
that peace had been declared yester-
day afternoon Americus was not
caught mapping. Instead, people here,
guided by the reliable news service
of The Times-Recorder were kept
properly informed.
When the first news that peace had
been declared reached Americus, the
Times-R Recorders management au~
thorized the statement that a report
stated peace had been declared, the
qualification being added that this has
not, however been confirmed" From
noon until three o'clock when authen-
tic news that the armistice had not
been signed reached this office, the tel
ephone rang again and again, but The
Recorder would not be persuad-
ed to confirm the report ION chance"
and informed all callers that authen-
tic information was lacking.
When the paper was put upon the
streets shortly after four o'clock it
contained the authorized statement OF
the state department that no armestice
had been signed, and his at once qui-
eted the groundless rumors that had
disturbed the entire city during the
whole morning. The people Of Amer

will not print such important happen

American public was false report

United Press, Association that the
war as over, the armestic signed at
II a. m. at the battle front and nos

millions of persons throughout the
country who were longing for peace
but were not expecting it quite so
soon.
In Atlanta the "news" was pro-
claimed TO the world through an extra
edition of the Atlanta Journal, giving
the unqualified information that peace
had come. The announcement had a
tremendous effect. The papers were
sold on the streets by the thousands
to the noon-hour crowds. Quickly
the news spread. Business men and
employees left their accustomed places
and great throngs formed in the

these changes and realize how many
there have been. Only last week the
question was raised as to whether or
hot the campaign would have to be
