THE SITE SELECTED
Washington Monument in Paris Will be
 Thorouahly American

Washington, January 27.--The Washing ton Statue association, of which Mrs. Jus tice Field is president, and the object of which is to present to France a statue of Washington. commemorative of the grati- tude of the women of America for the aid rendered to their country in its infancy and hour of need by France, has just received a concession from the municipality of Paris of site for the structure on the beautiful place D'Iena, at the intersection of the Avenue D'Iena and the Avenue Du- trocado.
 The monument will be thoroughly Ameri- can, as the statue was modelled in this country by American sculptors and has been cast in bronze by an American com pany. Moreover the pedestal was designed by an American and will be executed in American granite.
 The instance Is chosen when Washington took command of the army at Cambridge, and he is represented with uplifted sword, invoking divine aid
 The statue is equestrian, of bronze, and of heroic size, being about twenty-one feet in height to the point of the sword and Is to be erected on a classic pedestal of gran ite fourteen feet in height.
 It is designed to unycl the monument on the Sd of next July, the adversary of the day on which Washington assumed command of tn earmy. The statue has been fully paid for. But several thousand dollars are still needed for the completion of the pedestral and for the expenses in- cident to the unveiling, and the associa ton hopes for the prompt cooperation of all the patriotic women in the United States to raise the additional amount required.

Jack aad the BeanstalIk

The original production of that marvel ous extravaganza Jack and the Bean stalk" will be seen at O'Briens opera house in the near future, and will flood the stage of that house with waves of
 melody, beauty and briliancy. The com
 ing of this extraction has been looked for
 ward to with anticipation of pleasure and
 delight, and it's engagement will witness
 tine gathering of one of the most brilliant
 audiences in the annals of local thea tricals.
 As to the production of this extravaganza
 for the current season, its managers claim
 that it is in every particular equal. and in
 some superior to those of previous seasons.
 It Is not to be supposed that sane man.
 agement would permit so valuable piece
 of property to deteriorate. On the other
 hand, it Is the parr of the mana agerial tact
 to endeavor to enhance its beauty and
 merit with each succeeding season. And
 its projectors and manages are known to
 fbe progressive in their business methods,
 may be accepted as a statement of fact.
 The few changes in the cast are such as
 come with the natural relocation of artists
 from season to season. The appearance of
 Miss Edith Warrington in the titular part
 of Jack" will have special interest. Miss Warrington is known to possess the charms of face and figure that give picturesque
 quality to this central figure of the extrav- aganZa, and her vocal equipment will be a distinct addition to the part. Margaret Mills, whose vivacity and dash have been tested in many productions, and who is also an actress of decided personal magnet ism, will be the Mistress Mary" MT. Frank Deshon, the popular and well-known comedian of unique methods, will find a corgenial field of work in the part of
 'King Cole" and Lena Merville, one of the
 most elaborate burlesque actresses on the American stage, will be seen as Mother
 Hubbard" Dashing Cora Leslie, who played the part during the Boston engage
 ment and played it as it has never been played before will be seen as Miss Muf- fettn George Gorman will Illustrate the nautical swagger and abandon of "Sinbad." H. M. Morse will tower Tn the mighty pro- portions of the "Giant Ruse," and as to the rest, there are the eight pretty maids, each a paragon of personal comliness, the ten good fairies, the forty thieves and all the famous personages of fable song and legend so dear to the heart of children, both small and fully grown.

PadtreKSkl


 At last 1t Is definitely arranged that Pa derewski, the greatest of living pianis ts, is to visit Birmingham. Contracts have been signed and all preliminary arrangements have been made. Not only is this artist re- cognized at his true worth in this country, but he is equally popular abroad. as is evil denced by the following from tho London (England) Standard:
 Notwithstanding the plethora of music in London at present, M. Paderewski did not fail to draw a very large audience at his pianoforte recital in St. James's hall yes torday afternoon, for the host of amateurs who admire the Polish artist suffers no dimnution. Though only two composers were named, they were Beethoven and Cho- pin. so that probably one found any ground for complaint, for M. Paderewski is at his best in the works of both mas ters. Beethoven was represented by two of his mightiest creations for pianoforte solo, the so-called Sonata Appassionata" in F minor, Op. 57, and the final Sonata in minor, Op III, each of which was inter- preted with the fullest possible virility and intelligence, the rendering of the last movement of the work in F minor recall ing Madame Schumann in her best days It was truly grand performance, and the applause 1t received was more effusive tGran it deserved. The Chopin selections commenced with the Fantasia in F minor, and the Nocturne in D flat, Op. No. 2, the latter being exquisitely played. Following thes comparatively minor items came the great Soma in flat minor, Op. 35, In which M. Paderewsk took the first, second and fourth movements at a terrific pace, though not for instant did his fingers or his memory fail. The trio in the Marche Func'ore was expressed with a measure of tenderness that could not possibly be sur passed. Smaller pieces, including the Der ceuse, two of the Studies from the second set Op. 25; and the Waltz in A flat, Op. 42, brought most enjoyable recital to con clusion.

Augustin Daly's musical company in "A l Runaway Girl" which will be the attrac-
 ton at OBrcn's opera house on Monday
 February 5, has just completed highly successful engagement in Atlanta. In 1 speaking of the performance the Atlanta i Constitution of January 2i says:
 1 "In saying that "A Runaway Girl came 1 up to the highest anticipaions of what was 1 expected after reading the nattering mo- tices that preceded it. is expressing out in a modest degree the delightful effect pro- duccd of the largest audiences of the season. Of it's kind, the play is undoubt- edly the best that has visited Atlanta this season-prcbably the best on the road at the present time.
 "'A Runaway Girl is neither a comedy nor al opera, and yet 1t contains the quaH- ties of both. quantity of catchy, capti- vating music, delightful vein of humor, any lumber of stunning costumes and bewi!dering array of pretty girls-these are the attributes that make the comidetta the charming success it Is.
 "As for plot, the story of "A Runaway Girl is so dlphanous and inconsequential
 that it scarcely deserves the dignity of the 1 name plot. The story simply has sufficient | eoherency to hang upon it the attractive | features of the play and to show to advan- tage the full strength of the company at l frequent intervals.
