Atlanta, Georgia Is Reused To Excitement
Old COnfederaes Are Polishing Up Their Uniforms to
 Attend Premiere of "OOne With The Wind"

| houses of Peachtree road, debs and sub-debs pulled at the laces of bone corsets in the hope of reducing their waists to the inch-inch of Scarlett O'Hara. Down from attics came old gowns worn by grandmothers and great-aunts. Out of trunks, reeking of moth balls, came IIats and gloves. Because tomorrow night, at the Junior League ball in the mammoth auditorium, the ball room of Tara Hall will come to life. The dresses that waltZed and polkaed once, will swing and sway to the hot music oi Kay Kyser.
 Tickets for this ball, the proceeds of which will go to the community chest as will the gate" of the pre- miere, are being peddled by scalpers for as high as $35 seat. The orig inal price was $3.35.
 In midtown waitresses in restaiir- ants fidgeted at the wigs given them to wear as part of the recreation of the old time scene.
 Cab drivers fused with sugar scoop coats and peg-top trousers they were assigned to wear during the Gone With the Wind festival.
 Tasseled surreys, with scrawny bays between the shafts, plodded- plodded along the pavement of the business streets.
 Proud mothers dragged panta- looned children down the sidewalks.
 In the Georgian Terrace Hotel, protected by armed guards who shooed away the curious, were Vivian Leigh. the English girl who gained the coveted role of Scarlett; Law renee Olivier, her flance; Olivia De Havilland. who plays Melanie; Ann Rutherford, Ona Munson, and lesser lights.
 Some time today--and he must dread the moment-Clark Gable will arrive by plane. All he mas to face, right off the bat, is parade through the heart of the city and a reception that is limited to half the voters of Georgia. If he doesn'. wear a suit of armor the chances are, as one cracker admirer expressed 1t, he will be torn limb to limb"

 Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 14.-(UP)-At- hnta Is ablaze again today. This time not from Sherman's torch, bull from the fires of tradition rekin- fied by the world premiere of Gone With the Wind.
 The new south is the old south even if just for day, and one can almost hear the wind rustling through the magnolia and the dog wood where the biggest buildings stand. Through the magic medium of heritage, Atlanta has been able to dwarf herself, her bustling, pro- gressive, goth Century self. into the slow and red-clay-streeted town of antebellum time.
 The fires are flaming in every heart. At the Confederate Soldiers Home, six old men, who faced the grapeshot in the siege of Atlanta, shined buttons on faded uniforms of gray. Four of them, none of whom is under 92, will march under the Bars and Stars to front row seats when the Hollywood version of Mar garet Mitchell's Gone With the Wind Is put on the screen tomorrow night.
 One of them, J. A. Skelton, who was at Big Shanty when Andrews Raiders stole railroad engine and attempted to cut the southern line of communication has never seen a moving picture. When asked how a tachnicolor, talking, moving picture was going to effect him, he an- swered:
 "Son, 1t won't mean nothing 10 me. I've seen plenty of lantern slides
 Another, J. R. Jones, who was with General Joseph E. Johnson when that commander surrendered to Sherman near Durham. N. C.. was humping his leaded cane. That was about all he could do, there in his little room in the soldiers home, but he promised that If there was any part of the movie that gave the Yankees the best of It. he would get right up there with his cane and beat on the screen.
 T was there" the old man said In a thin voice, when General John son and Sherman talked terms. Mir Sherman was might Gffable that day. Seemed to want to get the war over as soon as he could and get at that bottle of whiskey General John- tx .l Nal. window as they drew up the terms of surrender and they knocked of the quarte before they got through"
