"THE FENCING MASTER. ,"

On Friday evening next, December 14, the theater- going public of Birmingh ham will witness DeKoven S Smiths most eel ebrated composition, "The Fencing Mas ter ,D by a compahy of wellknown oper- attic singers, headed by Miss Dorothy Morton.
 t.The Fencing Master' is above the com mon class Of opereita. It has many must cal merits, an interesting and masterly told story, legitimate merriment, rich hnaies, a romantic tendency, scenic splendors and a preponderance of superior artists.
 ''The Fencing Master' is an all round opera, and in the production of 1t no op- portunity has been overlooked by Manager Whitney.
 Each character has been carefully con- sidered and the costumes and situations man nufactured and thought out with re- markable intelligence. AS vision of beauty ''The Fencing Master' ecipses all that has goue before in operettas.
 Miss Dorothy Morton, who is noted for the excellence Tn all she undertakes, puts her best lyric and dramatic work into the character that she depicts 50 charmingly. As an accomplished and brilliant comedi- enne Miss Morton has no equal in this country. She is already a warm favorite in this city and leads superb troupe Of art ists, including Bertha Bayliss, Jenny Dick erson, Fife Kamman, Marion Langdon, David Terrence, Oscar Girard, A. M. Hol- brook, Harry Crockett, Arthur Leiblee, Walter West, L. j.. Alden, Sig. Modan esi and an ugmentedlorchestra of solo instru- mentalists under the baton of Sig. Tomasi.
 Thickly studded with beautiful airs and winning concerted pieces is the score of
