2 Atlanta Man Creates Sensation in Effort to Bring Cotton Men Here Next Year, Fred Houser, srecretary /of the At lanta Conveniiom Bureau, stirred them up with a will in New York, where .he went the other day to land the 18156 convention of the Ameriean Cotton Manufacturers’ Association.

The promenada before the boxes was not persistent, either, as those who left their seats in the intermis stons woreflannl_v concerned with the sensible and natural errand of finding thelr way out to the entrance lobby of the Auditorium, where the day was bright and the alr was fresh. Very hot it was within the house, so hot that the constant motion of the fans gerved little but to intensify the hu midity. It was tantallzing to know that there was breeze without, that kept tearing open the large curtained windows, and that had to be denied entrance. J That great entr'acte attraction of most afternoon operas, the presence of unoccupied singers among the hoxes and about the promenade alsles was missing. The only notable ap parent was the black-bearded, johLiy Alfred Hertz, the conductor of the German wing of the opera, who was escorted half unwillingly before the right stretch of boxes, and who was flustered as a schoolboy might have been at the friendly patter of ap plause that came with his appear ance. Until the epera was well on Its way, there were unfortunate acci dents with the lighting. Windows burst open under the breeze, allowing sudden bright shafts of light to pene trate the hig chamber, dimming the glory of the stage until the windows could be closed again. And through the most of one scene the large cen tral chandeller remained lighted, hurting somewhat the effect of the performance. Rut none of these things, heat nor iight, seemed to affect the enthusiasm of the audience nor the sympathetic art of the singers. At the very first, when (lulic Rossi sang ably the long recitative of Ferrando, the crowd sunk itself in the appealing romance of the beloved opera, and there re mained unti! the swift and tragic cii max Three Boy Scouts on .

The plot of “Der Rosenkava lier” {s laid in Vienna, during the earlfer vears of Maria Theresa's reign. Octavian, a young gentle man of noble family, is in love with Princess von Werdenberg, wife of the lield Marshal. The first scene finds Octavian in the chamber of the Princess, where an ardent profession of love is made while the Princess reclines on a coinch embraced by her lover. Prince von Werdenberg is away on a hunting trip, and during the fmpassioned love scene (innocent enough, though indiscreet) dis turbing sounds from the outside are taken to be the returning of the husband, and Octavian quick 1y hides himself and disguisgs in the garb of a lady's mald. How ever, the disturbance preves not to be the Prince's return, but a visit from the noisy, boastful and debauched Baron Ochs of Lerche nau, who rushes in, without cere mony, to ask help from the Prin cess, who is his cousin, in the ar rangements toward his coming marriage with Sophia Faninal, daughter of a rich merchant new lv ennobled by the office of chief provisioner of the army in the Netheriands The Raron, in his customary THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS '3 BEAUTIESOF OPERA ~ WHO SINGTO-NIGHT ! \\ g " 1 ) S S w 7 ] i i o\ 4 ol RO\ N i\l ' “‘\\ . ;fi'.‘\\ i 'fl 3%; ‘»’. : ! %o ¥ ) ; b { rakish character, begins Immedi ately to make love to Octavian, whose disguise he has not pene trated, and he invites her (7) to supper with him,promising amuse ment most startling. In the mean time the Princess has her cus tomary interviews with her law ver, cook, milliner, hairdresser, literary adviser, animal dealer and a flute player, as well as an Italian tenor, who help to fur nish amusement for her. The Baron has asked the Prin cess to choose the one to bear the gilver rose to his future bride, in accordance with the custom, and, after the departure of the Baron, the Princess asks Octavian to act in that capacity. A shadow iscast upon the usually bright disposi tion of the Princess by the pes sibility of her early loss of charm to attract her lover. Octavian delivers the silver rose to Sophia at her home, and now these two fall desperately In love with each other. While they are enjoving their new-found love the Baron, who has ecalled to be presented to his betrothed form ally, and to see that the contracts are properly signed, enters with such an impudent manner and VAT Ty ~ Margarete ' .

Octavian quarrels with the Baron, draws his sword and wounds him in the hand. Weep fngly, Sophia declares she will never marry such a brute, and her father, in a rage, is deter mined she shall, or go to a con vent. Faninal {s ambitious to link his wealth and standing as a merchant to a house of aristoc racy. Octavian's clever wits are set to work, and he plans a way to save Sophia from such a sacrifice. He disguises as formerly and meets, by appointment, the Baron at the inn, where a =eries of tricks, played upon the Baron, causes him to think he has lost hig wits, and is in an insane asy lum. Among the many tricks played upon him are the faces appearing in unexpected places; a widow rushing into claim him as her husband; chiidren coming to claim higm as their father, ete. The police arrest him on a white slave charge, and while at tempting to defend himself he he comes so cenfused that he ends in a muddle, and his disgrace is cer tain and justified. Sophia re nounces him, and Octavian, ap pearing in his male attire, disil lusions him of his love for the “Princess' maid.” MILLS ARRANGE FOR PICNIC. COLUMBUS, Apr!l 20.--Saturday, May 9, has been designated by the cotton mills of Columbus as annual picnic day, which is always a gala event with the thousands of people who are employed in the twelve cotton mills of this city. All the mills of the city will close for the day, Pan-Hellenic Girls to Call Up Atlanta Voters to Remind Them of Duty. ““Hello, Mr. Smith; don't forget to vote for the Grady bonds” Next Tuesday morning that mes gage i 3 going to drift in over the tele phone of every voter in Atlanta who possesses a telephone, It may come {n a soprano voice, it may come in a contralto; at any rate, it wfll be that kind of a voice to which the average voter listens much better than he NHs tens to campalgn speeches, Members of the Pan-Hellenle, an organization of young sorority girls, volunteered the.other day to do any thing in their power which would as sist in the passage of the Grady bonds. To-day arrangements were made by Henry Robinson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, for the instal. lation at bond headquarters of twenty telephones, The members of the Paa- Hellenic will probably sit at one end of those telephones. At the other will be the voters. Every voter who has his name in the book will get that message—" Hello, Mr. Smith; don't forget to vote for the Grady bonds"— in the most dulcet tones Atlanta can produce. After that, anyone who doesn’'t drop his ballot in the bond box can’'t plead forgetfulness as an excuse. City’s Leaders for Bonde. ‘ A canvass of the c¢ity's business and professional men is revealing that the gentiment among them stands almost unanimously in favor of a greater Grady. Some of the expressions se cured from them follow: | W. J. Blalock, President Fulton Na tlonal Bank—There can be no ques tion of the necessity for a new and larger city hospital. The present one is not in keeping with the growth of the ctly. It is astonish ing that Atlanta, which is so far ahead of other cftlgs of its size in many respects, should be so far be hind all of them in this important detail, P. 8. Arkwright, President of the Georgia Railway and Power Com ~ pany—Grady Hospital needs en ~ largement and improvement, and needs it badly, The city is now without any adequate means for ~ taking care of its sick and injured. The present hospital is thoroughly behind the times. 1 shall certainly cast my vote in favor of the bond 1 issue. 'W. L. Peel, President of the Amer fcan National Bank—l have been over the old hospital and 1 know it to be wholly inadequate to the demands which are made upon it every day. In my mind, one of its worst features is the absence of any proper provision for persons suffer ing from contagious diseases. I have heard that a few people com plain $750,000 is too large a bond jssue. My personal opinion is that $750,000 i{s a small sum compared with the amoiunt of work to be done and the benefits to be gainedl. Atlanta must have a new hospital— and it might as well have a’good one. An Absolute Necessity. Alderman James R. Nutting—A greater Grady Hospital {s an abso lute necessity. Atlanta can not do without it. The summer is coming on, and anything like an epldemic would find Atlanta wholly unpre pared. Grady Hosplital has been turning away patients all winter. When the hot months arrive, with the usual increase in sickness, the gituation will be dangerous. The present ocondition of Grady is a danger not only to those who need its services, but to every man, woman and child In the city. Ivan E. Allen, of Flelder & Allen— Can you imagine one of the big downtown stores trying to carry on its 1914 business® in the same quar terg it used in 18907 That {s pre cisely what the city is trying to do at Grady Hospital. Except for the building erected in 1810, which ac commodates little more than one third of the 200 patients who can be squeezed into the institution, Gra dv Hospital is precisely the same institution {t was when the popula tion of Atlanta numbered one fourth of what it does to-day. What business man would expect to eco nomically carry on his business in a structure which was 25 years be hind the times? Atlanta {8 throw ing away every day It tries to get along with this ancient makeshift. Plans for a greater Grady mass meeting, to be held Saturday night in the North Avenue School, have been made by the Grady committee of the Fourth Ward. BEfforts are being made by the general committee to have similar meetings the same night in every ward in the city.

Forsyth Street, ' ' Argument of Extraordinary Motion Will Be Resumed on Friday, as Scheduled. Solfeitor Dorsey announced Wed»! nesday that he would make no re quest of Judge HiNl to resume the hearing on the extraordinary motion for a new trial for Leo Frank before F'riday, the day to which adjourn ment was taken last week, when the defense closed its presentation of the motion with accompanying afMdavits. The Bollcitor said that he probably would have besn prepared to go ahead on Thursday morning, but that he saw no particular reasson to hasten the hearing, inasmuch as it waa to come on the next day. Bolicitor Dorsey, with the deteo tives who are working under his di rection, paid particular attention in their work of Wedneodtx to the story told by the negress, nnie Maude Carter, who swore m an affidavit presented before Judge Hill last week that Jim Conley confessed explicitly to her that he was the slayer of Mary Phagan and that Frank had nothing to do with it. Several negroes who know the Carter woman were called before the Solicitor and the detec tives and were questioned closely as to her record for truthfulness and as to statements she has made since her liberation from the county jail. Dorsey Is Confident. The prosecutor would make no comment Wednesday on the evidence he has procured to combat the de fense's motion for a new trial, but ap peared entirely confident that he would again succeed {in balking Frank’s lawyers in thelr latest move to save their client. In addition to their completion of . -y Tfl’m change may be eritical and cause untold Fro : suftering in after life.
