SOLOISTS OF
REPUTATION
APPEAR IN SHOW

The troupe has five balladists of
reputation who will feature in the
performances-all of them have made
their mark as singers and possess
voices far out of the ordinary. The
men would compare very favorably
with professionals and will give the
audiences really delightful numbers
for Director Gaa has picked the Sc
lections with exceeding care and
every one Of them is artistic yet of
the catchy kind you want to hum.
Ernest A. Altree, a newcomer to
Augusta, will make a big hit with the
crowd. Mr.. Altree' has had extern
sive experience as a singer appear
ing with the Symphony Quartet OF
Lynn, Mass, and with the Paragon
Quartet which sang at Nantasket. He
was with Ward and Vokes. His work
receiving a great deal of favorable
comment.
Charles Bilodeau has a number
that is fine. 1t is just fitted to Mr.
Bilodeaus style of expression and
with the added novelties introduced
it will 60 over like a million dollars
Mr.. BiloGeau has been one Of Angus
ta's favorite singers for some sea-
sons and the mention of his name
on a program always draws forth the
| music lovers.
C. Bryce Little, one of the star bal
adists at the Legion Ministries this
season will sing Rose" beautiful
number Director Gaa has been try
| ing to get this song for several weeks
| and received it only yesterday by
special delivery. Mr.. Little knows
how to put across a number o6 this
sort, as it calls for a really artistic
vocalist. Mr.. Little studied solo
work here for several years and when
in CoblenZ, Germany, pursued more
advance work under the guidance OF
Prof. Hoffman, meister- singer at the
Cologne Opera.
Earl Hayes who has sung in vari-
Gus churches and who has appeared
in various productions will give a
number that is dandy. Mr.. Hayes
. knows music thoroughly and his rem
dition is equal to that of many pro-
fessionals.
Fred Lacombe has a song that Is
destined to make a big hit It's har-
mony is of the dreamy waltz variety

INTRODUCING THE
SHOW DIRECTOR,
CHARLES A. GAA

"Charlie" Gaa is not new to Angus
ia theatrical audiences, having sue
cessfully conducted the minstrel per-
formances for the two former sea-
sons. The genial director of the Elks'
minstrel show has the enthusiasm
and ability that insures first class
performance.
There is q zip and go to his re-
hearsals that seems to get under the
skin and drive out all the, latent tall
ent and pep" there is in you, for
practical purposes. He is a dynamo
of compelling and energetic force at
rehearsals-knows exactly what he
wants done, knows how it should be
done. and can show them how to do
it, and has that happy faculty of i'm
parting it Understandings to others.
His selection from an almost con-
crete mass of talent-with their vari-
our peculiarities. and idiosyncrasies
and whims and stellar aspirations-of
those suited to fill the various roles
bears a tinge of weirdness and almost
wizardry; and their perfect accord
with his Judgment emphasizes the
value of that delightful SAVIOR faire
and magnetism of his personality and
make-up-a divine gift, without which
no actor or director of theatrical en-
terprises can afford to be minus if he
expects success in a profession in
which the temperaments and foibles
of his pupils are as varied as the
weather.
Better than all else, like the great
proportion of the theatrical Iprofes-
sion, he is an Elk.
Director Gaa has been an Elk for IA
years. That is his age limit. He
was on the vaudeville stage for some
time before he became director on
amateur shows, and for the last mir
years he has been devoting his ener
gies to Transforming crowd of rank
amateurs, mostly Elks, into finished
performers. The members of the Au-
gusta Lodge are with him, heart and
soul in putting on real show, and
all this will be exemplified when the
curtain goes up on this memorable
event, Monday and Tuesday, May 2
and 3.

Capitol Tileater Observes
Second Anniversary With
A Gala Ballet Program

The Capitol Theater will celebrate
its second anniversary this week. by a.
gala program, on which one of the
outstanding features will be the pre-
sentation Of the ballet, "Scheherezade. !"
which has not been seen here since it
vas given by the Ballet Russo FIVE
years ago.
S. L. Rothafel, who has done much
60 introduce good music to the masses,
has also made the Capitol an inapor-
tant factor in the development Of
the ballet. Each week throughout the
year he has presented ballet elabo-
fately mounted and staged, introducing
to the public such gems Of color and
motion as Schumann's "Papillons, u
"Prirce Igor" and the Dance of the
Egyptians"
Alexander oumansky is the person
responsible for these ballets.. For more
than year he has been devising the
choreographic numbers on the program,
and has so simplified the technicalities
that the pantomime remains clear and
Understandable without any of the
color and charm being lost.

The Evolution of a Star

Ina Claire

Ina Claire, star of "Bluebeard's
Eighth Wife," was born in Washington.
When Miss Ciaire decided that she
wanted to get right out and act it
was necessary TO persuade her mother
first Her father had died when she
was very young. and, taking advantage
of the fact that there was only one
stage early. She picked out vaudeville
and she did IAN act In one" She was
successful at it, too. People began to
talk about her "aet," especially the
part where she did limitations, and
soon managers from the regular thea
tars dropped in to see her. In Chicago
one day George w, Lederer, then and
now one of the important musical
comedy producers, saw her in a vaude-
vile bill, and he promptly offered her
IN engagement rs ingenue in his show
Jumping Jupiter" which had Richard
Carle as star. Miss Claire took the
jump.
No, there isn't any truth In the
story that she was in the chorus. She
came into New York as one Of the
principals in this Lederer musical
comedy, and coon after that another
producer saw that she had even greater
possibilities. This ether producer was

soon as her engagement In Jumping

She landed In the Folies Bergere, which
he was just establishing in those days
in tho building which is now the Full
ton Theater. A few of US remember
that this was a good entertainment,
more or less along the lines of the
Midnight Frolics Of the present day.
but it was just that far ahead Of the
popular taste. The Folies Bergere
failed and Miss Claire stepped out into
another engagement. Mr.. Harris gave
her the title role in "The Quaker Girl" /"
and that was all he needed to do.
From that time on the public recog-
nized her as a personalitc. After a
season in vaudeville she went TO Lon
don to play the leading parts in two
musical comedy productions under the
management of the late George Ed
wardes. Flosenz Ziegfeid brought her
back to feature her IN the Fellies for
two seasons.
Next season she was starred in

She enjoyed years run in this comedy
and then toured in it for a year. After
