GAMES B. NEVIN, in TOdays atlanta Ceorgon.)
TT HE Amercus TmesRecorder advocating the erection OF
auditorium for that city, with intelligent earnestness
In this connection, The Iimes-Recorder says:
IAN adequate auditorium structure costing $780,
900, and certainly not less than $l5O,OOO-would pay
Americu and every business in big. here ism the
slightest doubt about it 1t will pay good returns on the
and vaster returns increased trade to the
CITY, is the greatest lack in Amercus today And with
the flying field re-popuated this winter with soldiers as it
certain to be- Amercus must have zeabe playhouse
for them to the plays that want to come here.
If such an auditorium is erected, Americus will
get it; indeed ever thereafter the citizens who suggested it,
promoted it and carried it successful conummaon will be
called blessed and far-seeing by the community.
Atlanta knows from experience what such building most
surely may in the progressive history of city.
Atlanta would give up her big auditorium for ten
times the money cost if doing without auditorium
for few years.
And the Importance of adequate auditorium in Amerl-
Gus relatively the same as in Atlanta. a.s
Nothing serves so splendidly the purpose of getting
mmity and adjacent territory ACQUAINTED WITH
ITSELF.
The Atlanta Auditorium has ever been employed a
great place for gatherings of the clans.
We hold annual of grand opera there hold
our school there; hold big Shrine and
ana concayes there we hold our memorial exercises here
We have entertained for months soldiers there
Politicians and statesmen-rea and have out in
the Auditorium unimportant thing that!
Big little local. sectional NATIONAL what not Atlanta
nshnctvely the Auditorium THE place of
sembly
There is the place of MUTUAL ownership; every ci-
zen has Just as much right of way the Auditorium
other citizen
Itwoud not have been possible hold the late great inter
state peace gathering in Atlana-wlh aft, ane Addams,
Edward ene and others presenhad Atlanta not possessed
the Auditorium
Our present of grand brilliantly successfully
and thing of delight and JOY not only to Atlanta but to hous
ands fine and cultured people from all Georgia and the
South-would have been impossible without the Auditor
Looking at it both from the artistic and the material stand
point that sort of thing is worth great deal to Atlanta
It's splendid thing for Atlanta to be able give this
opportunity other Georgans furnishes wonderful
ion scores who otherwise know the satisfaction of
seeing and hearing the greatest musical artists earh the
wordamo stars of song makes possible the renewing and
ejuvenang of old friendships and acquaintance; brings
thousands of the flower of Georgas citizenship Atlanta and
sends them home happy and pleased.
Think what these things to Atlanta?
And then remember if Atlanta did NOT have that BIZ
Auditorium, NONE of this would be possible!
Now every use that Atlanta has put her big auditorium
can be duplicated, in relative Importance in Americu
Amercus can, if she will provide herself with great aud
orrm suited to her needs employ to exactly the
sucve advantages that Atlanta employs her big building
And so can Athens, and Waycross and Coumbus-and
every other city and the state large and SMALL that
ambitious and farseeng enough to note the opportunity and
seize upon it.
An auditorium provides vehicle through which community
interests may be stirred and people Of all and varieties of
opinions brought together auditorium is an asset of tre
mendous Importance to ANY locality.
We hope The Americus TmesKecorder may be success
full wedreced efforts to provide Amecus with such
bung-and hope the fine example may be followed by
other Ceoreia cities and towns.
