Ward and XOkes

Part number two of the big travesty en-
 tertainment produced by Ward Vokes during the summer in. Chicago was called
 ''The Floor Walkers" This part has since been rewritten. added to and vaudeville ized until it is now the new, two-act re- view employed by Ward & Vokes for their sixth year as farce comedy stars. ''The Floor Walkers will be seen at the Jeffer- son theater next Saturday afternoon and night Seats will be reserved for the mat inee. -a.r -..s4.s
 I Of course these favorite comedians are surrounded by big company of capable people, and the entertainment Is the best foot forward of the entire company. Ward & Vokes have the faculty of knowing just how to stage their goods and blend their material into fun show, which has ever given full value for money received. Their success Is merited by their sincerity. The organization this year Is numerically larger than ever. The new vehicle has been given the benefit of a sumptuous scenic dress, while the costumes are fully up to the pre- vious standard of the organization. All this, of course, is provided for the eye. The individual members of the company are all specialists in some line, and their talents form large part of the program. There is large chorus of pretty girls who are able to sing, and who do sing. In short, "The Floor Walkers promises to be the annual Ward & Vokes treat.

A Texas Steer"


 Although American audiences like notfl- ing better for amusement purposes than satirical skits or travesties on their coun- try's political machinery, it is almost com- plimentary to Charles H. Hoyl's ability as a farce comedy writer to witness the enjoy ment with which "A Texas Steer" is re- ceived by the audiences throughout the country. Almost constant service as an entertainer for several years past has not diminished the laugh-provoking qualities of "A Texas Steer,'' and 1t is as amusing now as when first produced. "A Texas Steer" is unique and original in plot and construc- tion, and there are many of MT. Hoyt's friends who still consider 1t his best produc- tion. The cast this season is said to be all that could be desired, and new scenic equipment has been furnished by Arthur Voegtlin, of Hoyt's Madison Square thea ter. This comedy will be presented at the Jefferson theater next Friday night.

~THE PLAY~

A large and fashionable audience greeted the Dan Packard Opera Company and Or chestra at the Auditorium last night. It was indeed one of the largest audiences assembled in Birmingham this season. The bill was Said Pasha.
 There have been several good comic op- era troupes here within the past few months, but it is no exaggeration to say that the Dan Packard company is the best. It is a clean, strong company-not large, but well balanced and strong in ar tistic5 makeup.
 All of the principals are fine, there being not single weak voice amongst them.
 Said Pasha' is a bright, tuneful opera, and 1t was given last night in its integrity from Stahls original score It abounds in fun and burlesque, but from beginning to end the fun is free from coarseness. Car lotta Gilman, the prima donna, made a most charming impression. She has both a beautiful soprano voice and a graceful stage presence.
 Charles N. Holmes as Terano was warm Fly received. He has a tenor of exception ally fine quality, and had to respond to an encore after nearly every song he sang. Miss Kirkwood, in the role of the queen, was remarkable for her beauty, while Car srie Godfrey, the comedienne. with her rich alto voice and her excellent acting, made "a decided hit Gilbert Clayton and Mountjoy Walker. ethe two comedians of the company, were sinimitabie. They work better together than sany comedians seen here this season, and Hast night. were recalled many times. The audience was demonstrative, but dis such an audience as a le- Sgitimate company especially likes The bin at the matinee this afternoon will be ''The Bohemian Girl" instead of ''Pinafore.' Tonight "Mikado' will be the 'attraetion. The Packard - company has demonstrated the fact that it is equal to any standard work.

Richard Mansfield

The coming of Richard Mansfield is looked
 forward to with increasing interest as the approach of hds appearance comes nearer
 and nearer. On next Thursday he will pre-
 sent. his latest success ''Cyrano de Der
 garac" for which the advance sale of seats and boxes begins this morning at 8 o'clock promptly at the box office of sO' Brien's opera house. The play 1t may be well to recall, at this time, is an heroic comedy In five acts, which calls for five
 enormous settings, speaking cast of about seventy and over one hundred su-
 pernumeraries. It made distinct sensa- ,tion in the original French both as piece of literature and as drama. The
 translation into English has been accom- plished with such skill and poetic appre- sciation that, together with MT. Mansfield's ssupeIo acting and the magnificent ensem- ible which he has so generously and artist ically furnished, ."Cyrano Is, under his .patronage, much of an artistic and pop auiar sensation in English as in French.
 The personality and the munificent liber- ality of a Mansfield are what the play seems mostly to demand. These are what
 have given it its great vogue. But Mr.
 Mansfield Is always scholarly and suffi-
 cient in his personal creations and in the
 manner of presenting the plays in his rep
 ertoire, which have been uniformly of fine literary and popular character The great
 star and his company travel by special
 itradn. Some Idea of the magnitude of this
 famous actor's eEstcprdse may be gathered
 from the fact that his company numbers
 over 125, and there are for "Cyrano de
 Bergerac' alone four carloads of scenery
