AT THE RYLANDER


One of the most important book
ings at the Rylander for the coming
season is ''The Cat and the Canary"
the famous mysteryplay now in its
second season at the National the
alter, New York city and which will
be seen her on Thursday, November
10Th.
Paul Stevenson, in the Atlanta
Constitution, has the following eric,
cism of the play which appeared at
the Atlanta theater last week.
Some enterprisng Atianat patent
medicine manufacturer will have 20
put a new cold shiver remedy on the
market if the suffcrings Of those who
so to see The Cat and the Canary"
at the Atlanta theater this week are
to be relieved. Likewise there should
be a heavy demand for knee braces
after each performance. A new
tangled Mysteries destroyer for the
women viii be big seller. In some
respects it out-bats ''The Bat"
All of which indicates that The
Cat and the Canary fuIfills all fore
running promises, and then some,
and succeeded Monday night almost
in assassinating its audience with It's
alternate shocks and thrills.
There is a murder, jewel theft,
half dozen near assaults and
score or more of astounding situa-
tions that round out one Of the best
plays Of the year, The show is really
d melodrama in some respects, anu
as such the lack of FEASIBILITY in
some Of the scenes does not mar it in
the least.
IN conceiving The Cat and the
Canary" Mr.. Willard has created
two most likeabIe characters. For
one he has taken a horse doctor and
made of him a loveable hard-fsted
chap who measures up to every call
and test. And in the other he has
taken a sweet young girl and made
Of her a woman with a courageous
fighting spirit which is nothing sho>t
Of adorable.
Robert Toms, as the horse doctor,
and Emily Taft, as the girl, easily
won the highest honors at the At
lanta Monday night. MIR. Toms re
lieves the tension by his decidedly
original humor and at the same time
wins complete admiration because Of
his artistic acting. Miss Taft is al
together appealing and charming and
besides is just about the most capable
young actress seen in this kind Of q
show here in some time.
In addition to these characters the
author has created a strange and
weird stage parsonage in the shape
Of an old West Indian servant who
provides an occult atmosphere Of
spirits and superstitious vood3oism
which is background for the mystic
rious chain Of circumstances arising
in the play. Miss Harriet Sterling
in this role kept the audience in a
state of almost shrieking suspense.
The Cat and hte Canary provides
a lot of fun along with the mystery
and the thrills. 1t will appear at the
Atlanta all the rest of the week and
beyond question will hold its audi
ence in state of tense excitement

Senator Smith has made it clear
IA. the holders of spot cotton this.

for the supply is a million and

|The opinion of the former senator,

shared by many of the leading cot

tons Of the state.
It may be recalled that several
months ago a number of Georgia

a crop, ventured the opinion that

In this connection, many cotton

GREB WILL WIN
Tunney, Light Heavyweight
Contender, Seems Due
for the Discard
KNOCKOUT TO
BE ONLY WINNER
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 23.-Wise
money which has ridden anything
worse than a draw in a long while.
is all down on Harry Greb. the
"hying Dutchman" of Pittsburgh to
| beat Gene Tunney tonight for the
American light heavyweight crown.
Greb is a mighty good boy to ride
anybody's money.
Reasoning that Tom Gibbons,
possessed of as much punch as one
could want in that class couldn't hit
Greb in their last fight, it isn't on
the cards that Tunney. the same
kind of a fighter, can get over the
left hand which he has predicted
will win the fight
Greb can go fifteen rounds faster
than any man in the ring and un-
less Tunney has copied the style OF
Johnny Dundee he probably will see
more gloves whirling around his
head tonight than he ever saw be-
fore.
Tunney is the light heavyweight
champion but that doesn't mean any
thing. He won a decision from Bal
former title-holder, be.
cause the Battler would not agree to
a knockout and the other contend
ers of the weight saw no glory in
winning a prescribed decision from
a champion that had been ready for
a knockout for several years.
Mike Gibbons, one of the smart
est boxers in the game who has
fought Greb several times, said re-
Gently that no one laying back to
put over one punch will ever beat
Greb "He will not let any man In
the ring get set for a punch" he
said.
Willie Lewis. another wise old ring
man. says that Greb can go is
rounds with Dempsey and that
nothing but freak can beat him.
Tom Gibbons saw an opening IN
his recent fight with Greb and ne
let go a right-hander that landed
on Grebs elbow and dislocated his
thumb. with his fragile hands,
may be careful about taking
a chance on hitting the Pittsburgher
in anything but a soft place and
that will be hard TO find.
Tunney has never impressed any
one by his activity in the ring ana
he has shown himself puzzled several
times by the sort OF an errauc at
rack that Greb advances. He viii
have to be a much changed fighter
TO get over a knockout, as his
chances Of winning a decision are
slim.

UNION ALL HET UP
OVER SAINTS GAME

At o'clock tomorrow Union
will be the host OF the st.

Field in a City League game.
The victory OF Union on Sat-
urday over Edge Moor has put new
life in the team and they will be out
tomorrow to make it two straight at
the expense of the Browntowners.
So far this season the Linden
streeters have thrown defeat into the
camps of such teams as Parkside,
Seventh Ward. etc. But this record
means little or nothing to the Out
laws and snappy, well-played game
should result.
"Ot' Anderson, who on Saturday
set Edge Moor down with lonely
single. will no doubt take up the
