From Maine to Spain-from a fish
ing village on the coast of the Pine
Tree State to the castle of a proud
old Spanish don-is the play ex-
perience of Miss Hazel Place, popu-
lar Augusta soprano. who will enact
the leading role of Bonnie in the
Augusta Girls Club production
princess Bonnie" comic operetta
which will be seen November 2 and
3 at the Opera House.
In 1921 in Kathleen" 1922 in the
Augusta Revue" and 1923 in the
Egyptian Cabaret Miss Place ap-
peared before Augusta audiences in
various roles, but this year she is
the show itself-the pivot around
which the production is built, and
she makes a regal Bonnie"
Gifted with pleasing voice, so
essential to the part,'a charm of
manner and a natural stage pres
ence, Miss Place personifies the
character of Bonnie" with the true
ability of an artist. She is pecul-
iarly fitted to fill the role of leading
lady, for her experience dates back
some four years before her advent
to this city in 1921, where, in Cliff
tondale and Lynn, Mass, she was a
member of a dramatic club, and in
1920 personally directed a musical
operetta for an organization in
Saugus, Mass.

SERVICE
To RULE ON
ELDR|DGE
Commission Will Reach De-
cision Today on Status OF
New Traffic Chief

The legal department of the Civil
Service Commission is expected to
reach a decision on the status of
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
and his assistants late today.
The department has been called
upon to issue a ruling as to wheth-
er Eldridge's appointment by the
District Commissioners, without a
civil service examination, is legal.
Officials of the commission have
held that Eldridge is subject to
civil service regulations, and must
be examined and approved as are
all other District police officials.
The District Commissioners re-
fused to agree to this ruling, and
have insisted that Eldridge Is spe-
officially exempted by Congress in
the traffic law from the jurisdiction
of the Civil Service Commission.
Officials of the Commission de-
clare that the ruling to be reached
by the legal department is merely
a technical ruling, required by law.
They state that it will have no eff
feet on Eldridge's administration OF
his office, as both he and his as
sistant formerly were civil service
employees and unQuestionably can
qualify for the position.
