electric power at an early date for
Americas and Cordele and the same
power at some time in the future
for Triton, is contemplated in a
charter recently granted in the SUI

Georgia Public Service company.
So far, no definite plans have been
announced beyond those applying to
Cordele and Americas. Before this
company was organized and before
the Georgia-Alabama Power company
passed under it's new management, it
h adbeen planned to supply power to
Americus. After the change in man.

WORLDS LARGEST THEATER
TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT ONCE
AT BASE OF STONE MOUNTAIN

this spring by opera stars who will
appear here during Atlanta's week
of Metropolitan opera. News of the
amphitheater has spread throughout
the country, and offers have been
received from choruses at the Holly

First of all the platform will be
just beneath the memorial that Gut
zon Borglum intends to carve across
the face of the mountain, a memorial
monument in the history of the
world.
Next, the amphitheater will have
such sounding board as men could
never build, solid wall cf granite,
500 feet high and hundreds of feet
wide.

certs there the softness of music
heard over water.
Fourth, the perfect acoustics due
to the sounding board effect of the
mountain will make possible thea
ter of unlimited size.
The concert given Sunday after
noon was one of a series of tests to
prove that the bowl at the foot of
the mountain is an ideal place for
an open-air theater. Caruso and
Scott sang there. Marie Tiffany
proved recently that when she sang
with her back to the mountain her
voice could be heard a mile away,

proved that instrumental music can
be heard as well, or letter, there
