FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER g, 1922


A citizen who owns property on Peachtree Street. recently visited New York and was struck with what he regarded as the similarity of Fifth Avenue to his home thoroughfare. He is now urging Atlanta to change the name of it's principal street from Peachtree Street to Fifth Avenue. He complains that Peach tree Street is rural and small town and that Fifth Avenue connotes dignity, wealth and enterprise.
 The Georgia citizen seems to forget, says the Alaska Capital, that name takes on new meaning when something someone that bears it attains distinction and preeminence. Rainier originally was the name of an obscure junior lieutenant in the English Navy. Now it is preeminent as the name of one of Amer ica's most distinguished mountains. Chicago was a muddy and dirty little stream of water. Now it is one of the great cities of the world.
 There is only one Peachtree City in this country, and when it is mentioned one does not think of rural scenery or fruit trees, he thinks of one of the nations beautiful thor oughfares in the capital city of the great Southeast And there is only one Fifth Aven- ue, just as there is only one Broadway, though scores of cities have streets bearing one or both of those names.
 If Atlanta should change the name Of her prize street to Fifth Avenue it would be plac- ed in the shadow of the only real Fifth Ave- nue. and just as Brool1lyn's Albanv's and Los Aneeles's Broadwavs are known only locally, so wonld he Atanta's principle street.
 Today Peachtree, Broadway and Fifth Av- enue. Pennsvlvania Avenue, Euclid Avenue, Woodward Avenue. Market Street. Michigan Avnnno and several other thoroughfares re ouire no other designation in the public mind. They mean Atlanta New York, Washington, Cleveland, Detroit San Francisco and Chi caeo just as plainly as thouoh the names of the cities were mentioned Why omit Atlanta from the list?
 The name of Peachtree Street is one of At 7anta's most valuable assets Let it stand, and if the street shou]d become wholly business, keen it still for it's historical associations and its local color.
 If is absurd for a community to destroy valuable asset in nomenclature or anything else that is distinctive for the purpose of i'm itation. Fifth Avenue would be cheap m1- tation in Atlanta as compared with Peach tree Street. Suppose Lincoln had changed the name of his poverty stricken and ne're-do- we'll ancestors. after he had distinguished it, for that of Alexander the Great, or Caesar or CharIema@ne!
 Alaska enjoys a unique identity in her col orful names. Nenana. Panama. Ushagak, kus- kokwim, Tditarod, Sitka, Golkana Kotzebue, Tlliamna-to the ears of the traveller, the chee- chaco, the writer, they sing with romance. What calamity if some day the Bronx or Swedeville or Little Poland, New Norway or Trotskyville, should shriek out at us from the metes and bounds of the map of Alaska Tn that day would we be lost. Let us, in heavens name, keep our Peachtree Streets in tact!

TERRITORIAL TAXES

If the Territory recovered twentyf percent of the sales fur seals at the Pribiofs it would be on the way to independence These furs part of Alaskas resources and should belong to Alaska but are taken by the government They total about one million net a year. and of this money Alaska re- ceves not cent.
 The fur tax bringing in large revenue to the Ter ritory and will time on. This is the least popular of laws passed by the recent legislature but was deemed necessary account of essening receipts It is tax on industry and the cause of considerable bother to the fur buyers.
 TherG is some talk in the Territory of raising the taxes on the fishing industry but this would be nad vsabe as this industry is already the highest taxed in the Territory present time. The industry should pay it's share of the expenses running the territory but nc The fable of the that laid the golden egg could be applied here.-Seward Gateway.

PLENTY Of COMEDY
At ALD|NE THEATRE
Hello Wife" One Of Best Musi-
Gals Seen Here This
Season.

%Hello Wife" an amusing and well
constructed tabloid musical comedy
is the headline feature at the Aldine
Theatre for the first half Of the week
II is presented by Sanges Midgley and
Company who are. indeed, good actors
taking advantage, as they do. of
every comic situation that is afforded
them. The plot, if it may be called
such, concerns the amours of a hem
pecked husband who continually tries
to put one over on his better half. OF
course he is caught in several delicate
situations and this is the theme on
which the act is based. The book and
lyrics are especially good.
Pagana is a violinist of particular
talent. She reminds one very much
of the famous Nonette. the gypsy
violinist, and she is indeed a close
rival of the famous Nonette.
Rule and O'Brien present a number
of late songs in a pleasing manner.
Rule who is a composer of several
well-known popular songs sang one
of his new creations at yesterdays
matinee called THE Heart-ache That
Breaks Your Heart" which instantly
found favor with the audience.
Frederick and Devere have a rather
good song and dance act. The
PhondeIl Four close the bill with an
act composed of many novel features.

LITTLE SYMPHONY
IS WELL RECEIVED
1arsre Ensemble and Rosha-
nara's Dances Please at
The Playhouse.
BY Charles w. Canfield.

The first OF the programs ar
ranged by the Delaware Musical As
soclation for the 1929 season was
very successfully presented last night
at The Playhouse by the Little
Symphony" founded and conducted
by George Barrere. the flute virtuoso.
AS noted in connection with the
previous appearance of this orxaniza-
ton, some months since, it is a real
musical treat to have the component
parts of the harmony presented in
such essentially simple form that they
can be easily followed in their de-
v"lopment and as they are taken up
by one choir after another. 1t is far
easier to listen closely TO three first
violins than to thirty. and to one cello
than to several, and IL is correspond
:ngly stimulating to the student and
the adept in music to have the essen
tials thus<set before them.
While the first impression. Of such
an ensemble as the Barrere players
there are thirteen in all-especially
in a relatively large auditorium like
The Playhouse. IS that of miniature
orchestra, this soon disappears as the
ear becomes attuned to the lesser
volume, and the delicate beauties OF
blended tones make their appeal. This
stage was quickly reached by laet
nights audience, with the second Sc
lection the "passeped" from the
Gretry group of three numbers from
Cephale at Procris. in the pseudo
classic style Of the Gluck epoch. This
was bright and fresh in quality, and
evoked the applause which ii deserved
The second selection. likewise, of
the group of sketches by Florent
Schmitz, "Pupazzi," was heartily re-
ceived and in many respects may be
called the gem Of the evening. The
harmonies were pleasing and novel
without being fantastic.
The first group of Part III of the
program had a Spanish cast the more
or less familiar "Calesera" of Laparra
and "Seguedilla" of Albeniz being
separated by the Mexican "Lenten
Chant" of Curtis Burlin.
The descriptive White Peacock"
of Charles T. Critics proved to he
written with full knowledge of mu-
sicai effect, and in a way to sustain

The closing group of four numbers
by G. Pierne included the popular
March of the Tin Soldiers" as well
as a "Pastorale" for wind instruments
and The Vigil" for strings. both OF
which were in themselves charming
and were charmingly rendered.
Roshanara, interpreter of dances OF
India, gave as part two of the pro-
gram. the Kite Dance" "In the
