Another epoch in the growth of Mont gomery Is soon to be Tinaugurated. anoth- CT step in extending tho city's usefulness Is to be taken, plan Is to be consum- mated which will add to Montgomery's wealth. new structure is to be erected and a new church dedicated to God. Af- ter occupying its present quarters for nearly three-Quarters of @ century the members of the First Baptist Church have adopted plans and specifications for & new church building and before long one of the most magnificent church edi- fices in the South will begin building.
 The new church will be located on the Hussev lot which Is bounded by South Perry South Lawrence. Alabama and Scott Streets. The top of its steeple at night will be illuminated with hundreds of incandescent globes and like beacon city.
 The members iof the First. Baptist Church are 10th to give up their present quarters on North Court Street. In this old church for nearly three-quarters of century. they and their fathers have worshipped. To them this church is sa- cred At it's altar their children have been welded, and the last requiem was sung there over their dead ones. Within it's walls the teachings of the Man of Galilee have been taught to their chill dren and their chilGren's children.
 This step on the part of the members of the congregation of the First Baptist Church is the result of long years of thought. study and prayer. For years it was evident that the church could he more useful if located in more suspicious quarters: The present building is inade- ouate.

MIR. CREsToN CLARKE
 IN COMEDY AND TRAGEDY.

Thursday Creston Clarke and his conn pany will appear at the Montgomery Theatre for q matinee and night per- formance. The matinee will be devoted to comedy. 0 double bill being annoilnced, consisting of David Garrici'' preceded K. Jerome. entitled "Barbara." At night shakespeare's Hamlet will be pro-. duced. sss; se Asz ~
 Those play-goers who have seen Cres- ton Clarke in any of the plays he has presented in seasons past need no lauda- ton of his abilities to convince them of his merit as an actor. To others who lowing from The Baltimore American will convey an impression as to what may be expected of his production of Ham let announced to be made at the Mont gomery Theatre Thursday night:
 "Creston Clarke is without doubt the best Hamlet" on the stage today, strongly recalling that of Edwin Booth. though by no means a subservient copy of that great actor, for MT. Ciarkes us original. He gives to the part the strong
 est element of intellectuality 1t IS scholarly well studied. and, in addition, it is full of poetry, passion and Ire Buf over and above all the other merits that care, thought and study can bring to the part. he possesses that which can never be acquired by the hardest work or determination-thes spark of genius. He goes deep down into the heart Of this human mystery and makes It clear 70 all; he is the Hamlet of Shakespeare, driven to the desperation of anger ana grief by the murder of a dearly loved father and the shame of still fond mother, but with his passion dominated by mind and soul affecting madness, to be sure of his point. and ever with the shadow of the spiritual thrown. across his human thirst for revenge In fact, complex and varying aspects, the depth of it's meaning cannot be studied: 1t must
 be inspired. and 1t is one of the great roles of the worlds drama in which not the greatest human art can conceal the line where study ends and genius begins:
 Mir Clarkes Hamlet is the Prince or Denmark himself no thought of good | acting, of fine bursts of passion, in terrupt the feeling of reality while he is upon the stage; for the time being 1t Is | the wrestling of a real soul with Hfes | of the life to come and not its mimic | reproductions"

A hunting lodge in the picturesque wilds of Colorado-that Is the nrst scene in tbe new play. Her Lord and Master which Herbert Kelcey and Enie shannon are to present at the Montgomery theatre Wednesday night.
 Although partridge hunting is now con sldered one of the up-to-date outdoor sports. this is the first time hunting lodge has ever been presented upon the stage. It introduces a party of titled Englishmen who are traveling through the Western country in search Of sport and adventure. They stay for time at the lodge and one of the party Lord can ming CMr KelceyJ loses his heart to the charms of the fair daughter of his host She is a spirited. independent, impetuous' high-spirited American girl, who has been spoiled by every one around her and who does not know what 1t means to suhdue her will to that of others.

MIR. MILAN AND MISS TYLER
 IN "ORIOLANUS" TUESDAY

MT. R. D. MacLean and Miss Odette Tyler who will appear in Shakespeare
 "Coriolanus' next Tuesday night at the Montgomery Theatre, may justly be con- graduated upon the result of their open ing performance. Judging from reliable accounts, Shakespeare's historical play was given with a. most careful regard to the requirements of environment and at- mosphere. The designs of the scenery were obtained from sketches made Tn | Italy by a member of the firm Of scenic artists who painted the scenery, and are' therefore, historically correct.
 The costumes are new and handsome- those of Miss Tyler having been made from designs partly her own. The act ing of the company is thoroughly in Keep ing with the production. Mir. MacLean makes an ideal Coriolanus by reason or his physical gifts and temperament His performance Is virile and impertous as the character requires, and yet delicateiy shaded The scene in which Virg1ha ap- peals to ner husband to spare Rome and her dcfenceless citizens Is exquisitely rendered by Miss Tyler who is capable supported by the other ladies of the company. It i3 satisfactory to note that a theatrical enterprise of this magnitude is meetiu1 with success from the start
 MT MacLean and Miss Tyler ought to meet with an enthusiastic reception In Montgomery, where they have long been held in the most favorable esteem oy theatre goers.

surate with the progress and signs of the times the church follows in It's wake.
 Zeal of Dr. Stakeiy.
 When Dr. c. A Stakely. the present pastor of the First Baptist Church, took charge of the pastoral duties in October 1900. he infused new life in the project. Dr, Stakely went into every detail. He took the matter up with the congregation. Various committees were appointed. ways and means were provided for clearing the titles of the church. funds were secured city was purchased by the church. Plans and specifications were adopted and gradually the ideas and energy of the pastor crystalized into the present status an assured new church.
 The building was won in competition by tails will be completed and the building erected by Sr1li in ( Hickman and Frank Lockwood, associate architect.
 Rev. Dr. c. A. Stakely. the pactor of the First Baptist Church, in speaking in connection with the designs said: architects, one from Indiana, one from Tennessee, one from Few Yorkk, and our own local firm of Lockwood Smith. The contest was very sharp, sprinGing on the incest points and in fair and open compe titlon the prize was won by splendid work for us has received the undivided vote of the committee and the church.

All goes well until one day heyscwn people arrive unexpectedly at the London mansion.

Goaded by tKe comIneGtS dfsfer people that she fs befnR used as Ia prisoner instead of as wife. she j6ins the party. Not returning at midnight, the doors of Lord Canning's houseoaAre barred against the Americap wifetn and when she is let in by the old servaHtoArd meeting her husband she storms in frep- zied rage at what she believes the tyfan- ny of her lord. but which Is in fac9 i6hfy his desire to make her respect hersslfoas we'll as the name of Canning.

 It is asserted that Mir Kelcey and Miss Shannon have never had play which so admirably fits their individualities' as does Her Lord and Master" ana snat 1t has proved a complete success the newspaper criticism have left no doubt Since Mr. hetcey ana MISS shannon nave 1QhnS0 forces five years ago, becoming co-stars. 1t has been their desire to enlist in their support a company that would equal in strength that of the old Lyceum Stock Company of New York. with which they were connected for so many years. From the names below it is apparent that this desire has been generously fulfilled as the cast includes Morton Selten. for many years leading man for p. H. Sotherns Percy Brooke of wm. H. Cranes corn-t pany; Charles Stokes who last year made the character of Canby in "Arizo- na'' famous; Miss Hattie Russell, sister of Ada Rehan Mrs. Isabel Waldron and Miss winona Shannon.
 The new play will doubtless prove ono of the dramatic events of the season here.

The Romanesque style was chosen as giving the widest latitude for ornamentation and also for the heavy grandeur and dignity of its lines which so well fit it for house of worship.

 The greatest feature of the structure Is the auditorium. From each of the corn CTS will spring four grand arches, grace ful and ornate.

FRIDAY NIGHT
 CHARLES B. HANFORD.

Charles B. Hanford in the scenic re- vival of "The Tanning of the Shrew. " will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre Friday night.
 This play is regarded by authorities as the most amusing of Shakespeare'S comedies. There is no modern farce which can equal 1t in respect to genuine fun. Nearly every line in the play con- ceals a laugh and every situation Is a mine of merriment. As the dashing, roys- tering Petruchio Mir. Hanford has scored. it is stated, the most conspicuous sue cess of his career.
