Miss Hatfield calls attention to the
movement of the Better Films people,
who have urged movie fans to see
book films. She sees an empty and
apparently deplorablc situation when
all the books which most people have
enjoyed reading have been screened
and viewed by habitues of the movies.
OF the six millions of people who see
a movie every week, Miss Hatfield
thinks, that in time, they will become
satiated and demand innovations.
Miss Hatfield sees hidden talent for
the Improvement Of the cinema drama
III the average school boy and girl. She
claims that IS per cent of the best pro-
auctions Of the screen have been writ
ten by people who had only common
school education. Here in Atlanta many
aspiring young authors are taking spe-
cal instruction from Miss Hatfield at
her studio at No. Carnegie Way. The

The residence is located about mile

lies outside of the city limits, fully a

Lions Club Minstrel
Brilliant Success

Counter attractions probably pre-
vented the usual large attendance at a
home talent entertainment OH last
Thursday night, given il the orera
house in good style by some of our
best talent under the skilled direct en-
OF Mr.. c. Geo Num-.
The opening scene afforded a rare
combination of the beauty and talent
OF Fitzgerald's young ladies and gen.
thFhen III the banquet setting, wl'ch
was also the opportunity of introduce
ing some diverting minstrel skits by
the walters. Mr. ]. E Turner, as the
official host announced the numbers
in his usual and best oratorical style.
The ensemble singing was very good
and well supported by the orchestra in
the wings. Some of the well-known
and iavorite soloists included Mrs.
Carl Fellars, Mr.. Will Mashburn. Abe
Krugerand Chas. Garwood, while Miss
Elizabeth McCarty surprised theaudi-
ence with her new role singing can
nabelle" in delightful style. Miss Viii
SON has a magnificent voice and the
audience gave hearty expression to
their appreciation. DR.. Turner has a
voice of such rare quality it is real
pity that he does not do more solo
work. Never has Three O'clock" been
so delightfully."- rendered for a Fitzger-
aid audience.
The negro songs and choruses went
well, the only drawback being that the
poor acoustics of the house prevented
the ready understanding OF the words,
and especially of the jokes, which takes
away not little of the enthusiasm
of the listeners. They seemed to carry
pretty we'll however, and the Jokes of
the premers, DR.. Newsome and Mr..
Red Williams, and the singing and
monologues of Mr.. Abe Kruger went
off with professional smoothness
Other of these black face parts were
well taken by Messrs C. F. Shewmable
L. Cowart, E. Kruger, Lacey Ennis
and w. B. Haines.
The scream of the evening was the
interlude in which twenty little girls
in the guise of pickaninnies, with their
rag babies, gave comic motion song
and antics in the mysterious rag effect
The audience grew quite hilarious ov-
er this
Other leading specialties were aes-
thetic dancing BY Miss Athleen Rhorer
and novelty dances by Messrs. D. B.
Bishop and J. A. Evans. The nondes-
cript quartet and dancing and contor
ton exercise by little Miss Bernice
Fitch were also hugely enjoyed.
\ delightful musical number that
was especially we'll received was the
song of the Lazy Mississippi a very
melodious and was we'll rendered in
turns by male quartet billed as the
Harmony Four and much better they
were than the male quartet of the Las
ses White company, and the verses
were then taken up by Mrs. Shannon
house and finally by quartet of girl
singers from the boxes and an ensem-
bic of them all in closing. The effect
was delightful
Professor Tinsley at the piano and
Mr.. Turner Browns orchestra gave
splendid support thruout the whole
entertainment
Tn all, II may be said that Fitzgerald
talent never fails to please and that
Fitzgerald audiences seldom ever
fail to support.
