BIRMINGHAM'S NEW
 HOTEL IS A BEAUTY
Metropolitan is Now Open for Business Equipments
 All Elegant

The New Metropolitan Hotel is completed and it is credit to Birmingham and the South. The St. Charles of New Orleans has long been the pride of the South. Later the Jefferson of Richmond, Va, sprung into the arena, bidding for patronage rob- ping the historic St. Charles of a great deal of its brillianey, but 1t is left to Messrs. Lesser and Gilardoni, proprietors of the New Metropolitan, to rob both the St. Charles and the Jefferson of some of their brilliancy in the hotel world of the Southland.
 The New Metropolitan is typical of Bir- mingham and a credit to any city in the South. An air of freshness and beauty permeates every one of the one hundred and sixty rooms in the splendid building.
 A minute description of the beauty and elegance combined in this modern palace which has just sprung into existence would be impossible. Birmingham should be pleased. Birmingham is pleased. Birming- ham will always be pleased with the New Metropolitan and will point to it with pride, no matter what should spring up in the future.
 The furnishings of the New Metropolitan
 
 of which must be seen to be appreciated. Each room is furnished with solid brass bedsteads, polished oak dressers and wash stands, and rich velvet carpet on the floors. Every bed in the building is supplied with the famous Perfection Mattresses, and the sleeping on rocks bugaboo of the travel ing man can be dispensed with when Bir- mingham is reached.
 Velvet carpets and leather-covered furni- ture adorn the halls and corridors, while the richest and most beautiful furnishings that money can buy predominate in the spacious parlor and private dining rooms. Chandeliers containing six lights. both gas and electric, have been placed in each room, and add greatly to the beauty of the surroundings. The electric and gas equip ments were installed in the New Metropoli- tan by the United Electric Company, and the work is a credit to this well-known Birmingham firm.
 But Birminghamers will have an oppor- tunity in the near future to visit and walk through the spacious apartments of Bir- mingham's new hotel, for a formal opening will soon be announced, and those who are fortunate enough to be present on that oc- casion can count on a treat of the rarest kind.
 Perhaps the most beautiful and attractive part of the new hotel is the cafe, which is in charge of that most famous of cater CTS, Paul Gilardoni, and the cafe proper will be managed by MT. Al Campbell whose executive ability and noted courtesy and effectiveness is a thorough guarantee of nerfect service The tS beautifully arranged, light airy and beautiful in every particular. Indeed, in beauty it rivals the famous palm room of the Imperial in New York.
 The kitchen is perhaps the best arranged in the South, and the famous Paul invites all visitors not to leave without a call upon him in the kitchen. It is indeed model of arrangement and neatness.

The Country Club was scene of unusual gaiety last evening upon the occasion of it's celebration of Halloween, which was observed with all the weirdness and with all the fatewel symbols that are associ- ated with It. For days a popular mem- Der of the house committee declared that he had been digging pumpkins for the poke o-moonshines that greeted the guests at the club last night, and planning for a great variety of ridiculous features than had ever been conceived of in such short time The prevalence of ghosts had been hinted at and the house committe had in- deed relieved itself of all responsibility by the fact hat 1t warned all club members who were nervous about ''hantS'' to stay at home. The clubhouse was most picturesque with the decorations suggestive of Hal loween, and with the games and many noval features that were introduced the evening was one of the happiest in the his- tory of the Country Club. The beautiful clubhouse was thronged with the gayest of gatherings, and All Halloween was charm ingly observed by society.
 The beauty and comfort of the Country Club on autumn evenings was emphasized last night by the glass doors that en- closed the ballroom, and which was made more picturesque by the wood fires that flashed a welcome from the Dutch fire places at either end of the ballroom. In- deed for the informal events of summer and the autumn as mid-winter functions the Country Club is perfectly adapted.
 Tt Is the most elegant Country Club house in the south," declared a guest at the club last night.

The Christian

The prediction of Liebler & Co. that "The Christian," as play, would eclipse "The Christian as a book in popularity and public interest has been realized, The consensus of opinion is that the drama js better than the story. A novel is one thing, and play founded on 1t Is quite another; and. for dramatic purposes, may
 very properly, be independent in its struct- ure, so long as the integrity of the char acters and the vital incidents of the story are maintained. MT. Hall Caine exercised the liberty of the dramatist with his own story only to the extent absolutely neces- sary, and while in some features the play

Klimt-Hearn Company

The Klimt-Hearn Company, the best popular-prce dramatic organization that visits Birmingham, continues to attract crowds to the Auditorium, which, however, is not large enough, despite the fact that it is the largest house in the south, to hold the crowds that the company deserves.
 At matinee yesterday, "The Power of Gold' was the bill, with "Trilby' the at- traction at the night performance, the pro- duction of which would have done credit to a high-priced company.
 The engagement will continue through the week, with Saturday matinee.
