THINGS DRAMATIC.

Birmingham theater- goers do not often have the opportunity of welcoming artists of the standing and ability of those com prising the Black Patti Concert company, which will appear at O'Brien's Tuesday night next. This company is composed of the Black Patti (Mme. Sissieretta Jones', Mathilde Walter (contraIto), Vincenzo Biel- letto (lenor), Orme Darvall (basso), Felix Heink (pianisL) and Little Ruby, the greatest child dancer in the world. Apart from the interest naturally attaching 10 these arcsts, Little Ruoy will be sure to come in for her full share of attention. This graceful little dancer is child of but 4 years, and yet the possessor or ablllty rarely found in those five times her age.
 phe appearance of the Black Patti Mme. SlssiereltaJ ones), the great colored prima donna soprano, will be event of tue musical season. This great singer vies with her white namesske in the latter's palmy days, and sings with grace of ex- pressiou and true artistic ability a reper- toire that made Adelina Patti famous. Her supporting company is of the best, and among them we n ote Felix Heink, pianist who has proved himself to be a master of his instrument. Mr. Heink is a conscien- tious performer, with refinement and deli cacy of expression and a finished technique. Little Ruby, the wonderful child dancer, is also member of this company.
 "FRIENDS."
 On Wednesday night, January 23, the comedy drama, ''Friends, - will be given for the first time here. More than usual jn- terest has been aroused over the coming production, first because so much has been said and written in praise of the play and company, and again because several of the players are pronounced favorites here. Selena Fetter Royle, the leading lady, ia well remembered here for her splendid work as Robson & Crane's leading lady. She shared their great joint success. As Selena Gray Fetter there was probably DO more charming lady in southern society than Mrs. Royle. During the present southern tour she was everywhere received with unusual social honors. We of the south make much of family, and the Fet- ters are of the oldest and purest colonial blood in America. On her maternal side Mrs. Royle is a lineal decendant of Lady Spottswood and Bishop John Thop pson of St. Marks parish, Culpeper county, Vir- ginia. Her hus band IS Edwin Milton Royle, the finished actor and scholarly playwright. "Friends" recently played one Of the most brilliant engagements known in the his tory of New Orleans theatricals, and it is expected to duplicate here the success made in Atlanta, Charleston and other cities.
