CENTRAL TO PUT ON LOW
WEEKEND RESORT RATES

For the first time since 1917, the
residents of Americas will have an
opportunity to visit Tybee and othe1
seashore mountain resorts at the low
weekend rates" which prevailed
prio rto the war. These rates are
based on sixty per cent of twice the
one-way fare, and after May 10, ac-
Cording to announcement of the Cen
trail of Georgia railway, will be on
sale each Friday and Saturday, with
return to starting point at any time
before midnight of the following
Tuesday.
The restoration of the weekend
privilege at low fares is in keeping
with decreased rate on summer tour
list tickets, which the Central is also
offering. These tickets are on sale
from the middle of May until Sep
TENDER 80, and their return limit is
October 81 The rate is 80 per cent
Of double the one-way fare, which
is a reduction of 10 per cent from
last year, concession that will, it
is believed, largely stimulate summer
tourist travel.
The weekend fare from Americas
to Tybee and return is $685., to
Atlantic Beach 1886. The summer
tourist rate for tickets good all sum-
mer is $500 to Tybee, $3.50 to
Atlantic Beach.

Vivian Martin comes into her own
in her first production to be present
ed by Messmore Kendall and Robert
w. Chambers, "The Song of the
Soul" The photoplay, which is re-
leased by the Goldwyn Distributing
corporation is based upon a story
by William j. Locke and furnishes
, Miss Martin with a genuinely dra-
matte role which gives her a greater
opportunity to act than her previous
screen roles.
Miss Martin portrays Barbara Sea-
forth, blind girl. The role is an
exceptionally difficult one. 1t is nee
essary, naturally, to interpret the
part without the aid Of the eye except
insofar as to denote blindness. But
so charmingly and intelligently does
she use her features that she sue
ceeds admirably in her unusual part.

seen at the Opera House tomorrow,

skit that is entirely original and the
showing will present some real dra-

The two stars who present this
snappy act are none other than

so-called college half-wits.

put another word in his dictionary to
