Art lovers flock to Montgomery theater in Atlanta for English masterpieces
Skeptics who doubted art appeal in Atlanta filled the Montgomery theater as four full-capacity performances showcased great English masters. Dr Memminger guided the program with remarks while occasional heat damage and a tragic note disrupted a brother’s carbon monoxide incident. Despite delays, attendees remained for the subsequent films and lectures, amid praise for the Art association’s efforts to spark art interest and love. Next Friday will feature French masterpieces with Memminger’s explanations as the program grows.

He implicated Atlanta medical students Carl Roddy and George Wren, two women, a baggage driver, and a series of staged signals, with the loot divided at Decatur.
