WINS APPLAUSE
Show Not As Bad AS Painted
Needs Orchestra And Chorus
With Voices

"Listen Lester" came to Americus
with a bad name given it by the
Macon Telegraph. It left Americus
with the verdict Of those who saw
it at the Rylander theater last night
that was far from as bad as it had
been represented; that while there
have been better shows on the road.
and probably will be others here that
are better, there have been worse
ores. The truth is, no musical show
can be put on satisfactorily without
and orchestra, and inasmuch as nc
musical company carries its own or
chestra, it seems to be a mistake to
book musical plays in Americus. Civ
en- an orchestra and chorus that
could sing, instead of merely wear
good clothes and dance some, the pro
duction would have been far different
The lines, although a bit risque al
times, are catchy and clever. There
is plenty Of lauging material in the
play, and the audience lasV night
was generous with its applause, indi-
eating that it found considerable en-.
tertainment.
"We haven't Broadway show,
said Fred v. Peterson, the manager
"but we are one of only 80 musica
companies out this year, against 90C
last year. If we had a little higher
priced company we could not stay
out, That is all there is to it. We
know we haven't a big show, but VT
have a fairly good show"
That about sizes up the truth OF

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Dec 9.-"Will

That's the question fired by nine
out of ten men in northern Alabama
and southwestern Tennessee today
No one asks Henry who?" or
"Get what?" There's only one Hen
ry and only one ''it"
Henry" is Henry Ford. 1T is
the Muscle Shoals water power and
nitrate development.
And on the question of whether
Henry gets it depends the whole fu-
ture industrial development and pros
perity Of the South, folks hereabouts
firmly believe.
It's not simply the prospect Of de-
velopment of immense water and
electrical power That's the smallest
part Of it.
It's the advent into the South of
Henry Ferd, master industrialist,
model employer, that has electrified
minds and hopes.
Ford's acquisition of Muslee
Shoals, folks here say, will mean new
conditions Of labor, of housing, OF
pay-a whole new standard of rela.
tionship between employer and EN-
ploye below the Mason-Dixon line.

Press) The ratification of the trea-
ty between Ireland and Great Brit

today
LONDON, Dee. (By Associated

De Valera of the agreement reached
between the British and the Irish
ple.lipotentiaries for the establish-
ment of am Irish Free State and the
resultant split in the Dali Eireann
cabinet oVershadowed all other devel-
crments in the Irish situation today.
The best opinion here is that the
split among the Dali leaders will not
affect the plans for the opening Of
the British Parliament.
De Valera last night issued state
inert saying that he could not recom-
mend the peace treaty with Great
Britain to the Dali Ereann or to the
country, and that in this attitude, he
is supported by the ministers of de-
Tense and of home affairs.
A public meeting of the Dali Ei-
|reann has been fixed for Wednesday.
The third session of the Dali Eli
reann cabinet ended few minutes
after 9 O'Clock. 1t is understood that
the opinions Of the members of the
cabinet regarding the peace agree
Hn1ent were divided and that the ques-
tion will be left to the decision of
