“Puss in Boots to Be
Presented at The Jefferson
At the meeting of the entertainment com
mittee of the Hillman Hospital entertaint
ment held yesterday morning in the parlors
| of the Morris Hotel arrangements were
made to produce “Puss In Boots,” a Lon
don extravaganza, at the Jefferson Theater
on Thursday evening, August 30. Mr. M.
J. Lee, the ow’ner and manager of the ex
travaganza, was present at the meeting.
He will begin work at once upon the re
hearsals. The cast will include nearly three
hundred persons. The play is in live acts
and there will be twenty-three scenes.
There will be drills, tableaux, beautiful
posing, a Liliputlan wedding and a num
ber of other attractive features. Birming
ham's prettiest children will take part in
the programmes, while the cast will also
include a number of the society girls, one
of whom will be the queen. She will se
lect her own court. The cast will be se
lected immeuntcly. The p'ac * f* i holding
the rehearsals will be announced through
t'-’e papers, together v/ifh the time. The **j
will be a matinee performance on Friday,
August 31.
"Puss In Boots” has been successfully
presented in many of the Eastern and
Southern cities. It has been given for the
beneiit of churches, charities and vari
out organizations and is pronounced by the
press throughout the country as one of
the prettiest and cleanest plays upon the
American stage. The clergymen in vari
ous cities have endorsed it, while the fact
that the leading society women in the
country appeared in the production indi
cates that it is in every way “just the
thing” that the entertainment committee
is after.
“Puss In Boots” was presented in At
lanta tho past week at the Grand. The
theater was packed, all the boxes being
taken; while in Lousivlle last spring it wTas
given for the benefit of the Confederate
reunion. At Rome the Daughters of the
Confederacy gave a notable production. In
Chicago Mrs. Potter Palmer was in the
cast.
Mrs. T. U. Walter was made chairman
of the ct ir» e in selecting-the numbers
of the cast. She will be assisted by Mrs.
William Mudd Jordan and Miss Withchen.
-o
The charity Sail.
The arrangements for the charity ball
to be given by the Young Ladies’ Auxil
iary to the United Workers of Hillman
Hospital, will not be definitely made until
later in the season. In August the season
for balls seems a long ways off, and any
work at present would necessarily be done
desultory. The date for the ball will be
a November one. It will precede the open
ing cotillons at any of the club houses,
which means that it will take place just
before Thanksgiving. It will probably be
held at the Auditorium. The committees
will be appointed before another meeting
of the Auxiliary, and the patronesses for
the ball will be announced later. The
tickets will be placed at five dollars.

The question of “where 1 shall educate

times in the past few weeks. That is a
very important question, and one that can
not be too closely considered. However,
if you are looking for a school that will
take care of your daughter in the proper
way and give her nice comfortable rooms
in a moderan building, w'here she will find
thoroughly educated and experienced
teachers, who will give to each student
individual, personal work, you will find it
at Brenau College, formerly Georgia Fe
male Seminary. For handsome catalogues

EMPRESS DOWAGER TO LEAVE
Will Transfer Her Court from Pekin
Be.ore Allies Arrive
Berlin, August 13.—At the Chinese lega
tion in Berlin the Associated Press corre
spondent was informed today that the Em
press Dowager had declared her intention
to lave Pekin and to transfer her court to
another city before the allied forces
reached the capital. Lu Hai Houan, the
Chinese minister here, on learning of this
intention, telegraphed to both the Em
press Dowager and the Emperor not to
leave Pekin, but quietly await the arrival
ot the international forces. The German
foreign office still believes that the allies
have not begun the advance on Pekin, the
rainy season being unfavorable.
The Chinese protest against the landing
of troops at Shanghai has been officially
received here. A foreign office official,
discussing it, said today:
“Tike protest Is here, but who pays any
attention to Chinese protests?”
Great Britain, according to the German
foreign office, has not given any further
declaration of purpose in landing troops at
Shanghai than the declaration made by
the British consul general to the other
foreign consuls tlvare, namely, the protec
tion of life and proi>erty.
... u. .t . mr
Bremen, August 13.—The North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse,
Captain Englehart, which sailed trom
New’ York on August 7 for Bremen, has
made the record passage of any steamer
sailing from Sandy Hook to Cherbourg,
covering 3,184 knots in five days, nineteen
hours and forty-four minutes. Her average
speed was 22.79 knots per hour.
ELITE OPERA COMPANY
BEGINS ITS LAST WEEK
Olivette Was the Attraction, and Was ftuuf
to a Typleal Lakeylew Audience
Large and Appreciative.
The Elite Opera Company began the
seventh and last week of their engagement
at Lakeview last night with a splendid
production of the sparkling opera, “Oli
vette." Of all the operas which the com
pany has put on this summer, none have
been such a happy combination of com
edy, bright sayings and good music as
"Olivette."
The audience last night was applauding
their favorite numbers from the opening
of the performance till the close.
It is hard to say which one of the prin
ciples is the favorite in this opera. Mr.
Lightwood as Coquilicot is fairly bubbling
over with fun, and possesses the come
dian's greatest gift, that of originality.
Miss Scruggs was Olivette, the saucy little
schemer, who has one of the most attrac
tive of parts. Her "Sobbing Song'' was
again a feature. Miss Vesey has a queenly,
stately beauty that just suits the role of
the Countess. In her velvet hunting cos
tume, particularly, she is pleasing. Her
song, “Nearest and Dearest,’’ is one of the
best rendered and most attractive of the
summer season.
Mr. Washburn is making quite an envia
ble reputation this summer in character
work, and his conception of the profane
old sea dog, Cap'll De Merrimac, is realis
tic and good. He and Dr. McKenney, who
was Valentine, in their “twin sea dog ’
scene have a delightful bit of comedy.
Valentine, by the way, does good work
botli in singing and acting. Mr. Luckie
was seen at Lakeview after a conspicuous
absence of two weeks. As the plotting
Duke he has a good opportunity for digni
fied comedy. Miss Gafford was Velotine,
Olivette's companion, who likes so to be
kissed. Mr. Hood was Olivette’ “papa,"
and Mr. Johnson was Mostlque, the sailor.
“Olivette'' will be played for the last time
tonight, and from a social standpoint, at
least, it will be a success.
Mr. and Mrs. Murdoch will give a theatre
I party to Miss Sandol Milliken, Mrs. Solon
I Jacobs’ beautiful guest.
The Temple Emanuel Chapter of the
Hillman Hospital movement will also give
a large theatre party, and will have a
dance afterward.
Tomorrow and Thursday nights “Mas
cot” will be presented, “Mikado” Friday
and the much-talked-of operatic concert
Saturday.
PNEUMATIC TUBES
Postmaster General Has Ordered an In*
vestifiation of Systems
Washington, August 13.—The Postmaster
General today issued an order directing a
general Investigation as to the cost of con
struction, operation and utility of all
pneumatic tube systems for transmission
of mails. This investigation is in accord
ance with the requirements of the last
postal appropriation act, and Is designed
to enable Congress to determine whether
the pneumatic tubs service should be
owned, leased, extended or discontinued
by the government, and also to determine
the cost at which the government may ac
quire existing plants or necessary patents.
There is an appropriation of $10,000 for the
investigation, which will be conducted in
a few' of the principal cities of the coun
try, including probably New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San
Francisco and New Orleans. The cities will
be decided later, as will the last of tho
committee which will direct the investi
; gation.
