Leonore Jackson

One has heard little else discussed this week except the appearance Of Leonora Jackson, who will arrive in Birmingham today at noon and whose concert at the Auditorium this evening will bring together one of the largest audiences of the winter. Her own appearance, and indeed, the en- tire programme for the evening will mako the event distinctly notable in the world of music. The occasion will be one of unusual social brilliancy, as immediately after the concert Miss Jackson will be the guest of honor at reception at the Auditoriuni, the details of which are being arranged by Mrs. Peyton G. Bowman, president Of the Women's Auxiliary of St. Vincents Hos pital. and the members of the Auxiliary. Each member of the Auxiliary is requested to receive with Miss Jackson, and the en- tire audience will be invited to meet this world-famed young violinist. She is very young woman, and judging from photo graph in one of the musical studios that a group of musical artists was admiring yesterday, she must be remarkably grace fuI and well-poised. This photograph shows her simply gowned in white with her violin at her side She might have moment
 
 titude of listening to what probably Is unheard by the audience, the aftermath of a melody, and which is only perceptible to her artist soul. It is very charming picture and was being quite raved over by several musical persons, and made them and others all the more anxious to hear her tonight.
 But aside from the artistic success Of the performance tonight, and the privilege or hearing this famous violinist there is more importance attached to the financial sue cess than is probably known The success of tonight's concert assures musical fes- tival for Birminghamthis year. If the Leonora Jackson concert is not a success financially, in other words if Birmingham does not support an artist of such distinc- ton, then the director of the May Musical Festival Association will not feel justified in attempting a festival for this year.
 Birmingham position in the musical world will be influenced by its support of
 such artists as Leonora Jackson, and the Auditorium presenting a brilliant scene to- night would not alone be deserved tribute to the young violinist, but will give assu- rance of succession of superb musical events.

CO-RAClAL EDUCATION
Bitter Fight on in MaryvilIe College at
 Knoxville.

Knoxville, Tenn, January 16.-At a meet ing of the trustees of Maryville College Q bitter fight against co-racial education in the institution began. Since 1868 the insti- tuition has permitted the admission of col ored students by reason of the requirements made in the bequests accepted by the col lege, but since that time only nine negroes have graduated, and during the last term only one colored student attended the in- stitution. The white students have petl- tioned the synod of the Presbyterian Church, by which the college is controlled, to discontinue co-racial education. The matter was referred by the synod to the trustees, and among the trustees there was developed strong opposition against the past policy of the school. The trustees did not finally dispose of the question, but put the matter in the hands of committee to see if the special funds received for CO., education of the races could be so divided as to provide for separate education.
 Through the instigation of the white stu FApts a bill has been introduced in IL. State legislature against co-educatic:l )f the racesA

"A Hot Old Time."

The attraction at the Jefferson Theatre tonight will be that success in the farce comedy field, "A Hot Old Time" with Johnny and Emma Ray in the stellar roles. which is this season more than duplicating it's hit of last year, when it won recogni- tion as one of the most prosperous organi- cations of its kind on the road Not only has "A Hot Old Time" plot, fund of humor that is contagious and a liveliness of action that, while escaping actual vio- lence is both constant and comic but it is entirely free from vulgarity and suggestive ness. Not a line or situation that can of fend is to be found in the play, and it is as clean as it is funny, which is saying a good deal The policy of the Rays has been that of progression, and at every op- portunity Improvements have been made in both company and material, until this sea- son finds the attraction even better and stronger than on the occasion of the orig inal production when it achieved success. Nearly all of the music introduced in the piece is written especially for it, and it was in this production that the popular senre made song, Lady was first heard

THE POET.
By William Cullen Bryan

By William Cullen Bryant Thou, who wouldst wear the name Of poet mid thy brethren of mankind, And clothe in words of flame Thoughts that shall live within the gen.
 eral mind! Deem not the framing of deathless lay The pastime of a drowsy summer day. But gather all thy powers, And wreak on the verse that thou dos,
 weave And in thy lonely hours, At silent morning or at wakeful eve, While the warn current tingles through thy
 veins, Set forth the burning words in fifteen
 strains. The secret wouldst thou know To touch the heart or fire the blood at will Let thine own eyes o'erfiow; Let thy lips quiyer with the passionate thrill; Seize the great thought, ere yet it's powe,
 be past And bind, in words, the fleet emotion fast Then, should thy verse appear Halting and harsh ,and all unaptly
 wrought, Touch the crude line with fear, Save in the moment of impassioned
 thought; Then summon back the original glow, and
 mend The strain with rapture that with fire was
 penned. Seek'st thou, in living lays,
 To linn the beauty of the earth and sky Before thine inner gaze
 Let all that beauty in clear vision lie; Look on with exceeding love, and write The words inspired by wonder and delight Of tempests wouldst thou sing, Or tell of battles-make myself part Of the great tumut; sling
 To the tossed wreck with terror in thy
 heart; Scale with the assaulting host, the rampart's height, And strike and struggle in the thiches fight. So shalt thou frame lay That haply may endure from age to age And they who read shall say: What wttchery hangs upon this paet'i page! What art is his the written spells to find That sway from mood to mood the willing mind"

Sousa.

As Strauss uckled the ears of Vienna with his valses in the old days, and as Offenbach set the volatile Parisians mad with the witchery of his whirlwind-dance motives, so has Sousa won the hearts of the world with his marches. He has pleaded with the stir ring voice of the military band and his sounding melodies have proved irresistible. During the recent foreign tour of Sousa' s band the American musician's positive ge- nius as march writer, the striking origi- nality of his melodic themes, and the skill and power of his orchestra tions were freely acknowledged by all the European critics. That tour was a succession of splendid tri- umphs for Sousa, and the pre-eminence of his band in the field of military music met universal acknowedgeme nt. The great band is now embarked on a long tour of this country, being booked to give concerts in no less than 40 cities in IA weeks. They will be the feature of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo next summer, and in October will play four weeks engagement at the Exposition at Glasgow, Scotland. Sousa brings his forces here for two grand concerts on Tuesday at the Jefferson The ater with Blanche Duffield, soprano, and Bertha Bucklin, violiniste, as soloist

ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the largest audiences of the sea son greeted Denman Thompson in his eel ebrated play "The Old Homestead' at the Jefferson Theatre last night. The play, which is the pioneer of the rural drama, has been improved upon by latter day dranatists, who have used "The Old Homestead" as a basis. But with Denman Thompson in the cast there was no cause for complaint and the performance was thoroughly enjoyed. The play is clean and wholesome and is to be commended The stage manager might, however get a more artistic statue than the one used in the second act In fact the statue joke is rather old and-the play would be improved if it were left out entirely.

What Happened to Jones.

The conspicuous hit of Geo. H. Broad hurst's farce, What Happened to Jones', dn New York, where it had such long run of four months at the Bijou theatre, at tracted widespread attention and comment and made the author the man of the hour as far as theatricals are concerned. The play will be presented at the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday, and the follow ing, by ore of the most prominent critics In the country Is a good example of what is generally said: MT. Broadhursts suc- cess with What Happened to Jones' re- gently threw a half score of adapters, translaters and general monkeyers, from the French, into indignant mysteries. This modest and very unassuming young man has simply succeeded by dint of persever- ance and ability, which should inspire the vast army of aspirants with hope. He was absolutely unknown a couple of years ago; he was the despised of managers and out side of the ring. Yet he has come to the front unaided Rominent managers had nothing to do with the success of MT. Broadhurst and I want that fact to be digested.''
