Mir. Mansfield as Beaucaire.

Those who have enjoyed a perusal of Booth Tarlingtons clever little story, Monsieur Beaucaire,' will be interested in the announcement that MT. Richard Mansfelds impersonation of "Beaucaire" in the dramatized version is fully in keeping with MT. Mansfield's art. While there Is a slight diversion between the book and the play, MT. Tarkington, it is said, could not fall to be pleased with the reception and the interpretation of his play.
 A brief comment is to the effect that Monsieur Beaucaire" is in reality Phil days when the French monarchy was dy- ing. As a private gentleman he chooses to masquerade during trip of England. and as this same private gentleman spending few weeks at Bath he meets and loves Lady Mary Carlisle.
 So far the play follows the book as Booth Tarkington, author also of ''The Gentleman from Indiana" wrote it. Be- yond that there is divergence between the book and the play.

 Their Monsieur Beaucaire" ends pleas antly with their engagement, and the audience is left to take it for granted that they were married and lived hap oily ever after.

VOTES COMING IN
 BY EVERY MAIL
School Girls Are Interesting Their Friends Race
 Will Be Close

Packages of votes came by every mall yesterday and it Is evident that the con- testants for the Age-Heralfs piano are working not only seriously but syste- maticaliy to send in as many coupons as possible every day. The school girl who interests her friends in the contest for winning the piano and the girl who is ambitious to send in the greatest number of coupons daily cannot allow her own work in the contest to lag. In the schools where the Age-Hera1d's offer was read. the enthusiasm and interest was instan- taneous. It was unnecessary to diagram it for the hundreds of bright girls in the schools of Birmingham and vicinity ap- preciate how easy it would be to get a piano. They are very enthusiastic and she will be successful.
 The Age-Herald will, on Christmas day. give to the most popular school girl in the Birmingham District a handsome plano made by Guild & Co. of Boston. This piano cost The Age-Herald s350 and Is a valuable and welr-toned instrument.
 Every girl in every school in the Bir- mingham district which includes Besse- mer. Pratt City, Ensley, Woodlawn, Av- ondale. East Lake, West End, Elyton, Smithfield and all other towns in Jeffer- son county is entitled to enter the con- test. Coupons as given below will be printed in every issue of The Age-H Herald. These coupons will be dated and must be voted within forty-eight hours of date thereon or else they will not be counted in the contest. On each Sunday The Age Herald will print the standing of each contestant up to the preceding Friday.
 Votes not received within forty-eight hours after the date will positively not be counted. therefore all ballots must be sent in not later than the day following the publication of the paper in which the coupon appears.

Dining h Cafes.

It is believed that the coming winter will find the custom of dining in the fashionable cafes almost as much in vogue in Birmingham as 1t is in New York where one sees the fashionable set so much In evidence at Sherry's, Del monicos and at the waldorf-Astoria. Last winter frequently found congeniaI little parties dining in some of the popu- lous cafes, and on Sunday evenings par ticularly. many prominent society people enjoyed their dinners or the hot suppers served in the cafes. In many households the Sunday evening meal is not at all formal and frequently is a cold luncheon served at any time between and Il o'clock. The majority of people prefer dining in the evening and when the Sum day evening meal Is made little less than an informal luncheon party, they would gladly forego the meal at home and en- Joy a delicious dinner in the cafes. The question of dining in cafes does not of course refer to the advantages on Sunday evening alone. In New York one sees many fashionable people lunching and dining in the well known cafes every day in the week and it has so long been a popular custom there that it seems hardly necessary to refer to it. And in Birming- ham 1t is less unusual these days than formerly and the writer will probably find 1t more in vogue and the cafes will be the popular rendezous for little parties who now and then prefer to take their after dinner coffee in brilliantly lighted rooms.

Sterrett is a stage director who directs. Many a play has been snatched from failure by his clever handling of incidents and char acters
 Burton and Brookes kept both houses in a good humor yesterday. They spring some really new jokes, and their songs are clever and up to the times. Com- mencing next Tuesday three matinees will be given weekly, on Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday. Under Two Flags Is announced as the play for next week.

 Adelaide Thurston In Sweet Clover"
 The advance sale of seats for Adelaide Thurston in Sweet Clover" Friday and Saturday indicates large audiences. In- vitations were mailed yesterday to a large number of ladies to attend an informal reception to be given by Miss Thurston on the stage after the matinee perform ance. These impromptu affairs seem to have been carried on very successfully in other cities. The Chattanooga News, in speaking of Miss Thurston receiving there. said:
 Probably her chief charm is the ex- quisite sympathy which seems to make each person who looks into her beautiful soulful eyes her friend. She betrays none of the over-reaching for effects that cheapens an actress. but every word and action is artistic in its perfect simplicity. It Is this quality which has made her the idol of the public wherever she has ap- peared.i
 Miss Thurston has another quality which endears her to the women espe- cially-she wears her gowns with the grace of 8 queen. Nothing could be more beautiful than her appearance as Queen Guenivere in the tableau, unless 1t was her appearance in the exquisite gown in which she received after the play. The latter was g splendid real lace dress over pale blue. the lace embroidered in pink and white roses. Blue Paune velvet add ed Frenchy touch. Her delightful cor diality made the reception after the mat inee seem the most natural thing in the world"
