 Forty-three years ago rnis winter Robson played five weeks in the Mont gomery Theatre-t-se same theatre that he played in last Monday night
 Why he should have played in Mont gomery forty-three years ago. and in that ancient theatre no one can readily explain, but still he did do so, and last night this same actor of 43 summers and winters ago played "Bertie the Lamb" in the Jefferson theatre. It IS a young mans part, and Stuart Robson looked ana acted a young man not over 23 years old. Mir. Robson plays all parts very much alike. The same simplicity and the same earnestness is always in evidence. He never cracks a smile. His humor comes straight from guileless heart
 The supporting company was small but choice. Roy Atwell was, however, wooden Watson Flint" and Charles Lane as "Dr Parke Wainwright" made
 love very much as a cigar-store h. dian would. But the rest of the company was excellent. Charles R. Gilbert as 'c1usgrove." the aged clerk added pathos to the comedy, and Russ Whytal as Nicholas Van Alslyne Jr.," lent 1t stroke of trageuy. Il was very forceful piece of acting, too.
 All the women of the company were beautifully gowned, and every one of them played well her part. Four bet ter women actors are rarely found in company in this secton of the country. There were but four of them, but each and every one did excellently well.
 The entire play as presented last night was one of l..e best of the season, and the audience went away greatly pleased with it. The manifold attraction at home on Christmas Eve kept many theatre lovers away from the play, and the house was not as full as 1t should have been.

Social Notes and Personals,

distinctive figure among the holiday things last night was MT. Stuart Rob son. who sauntered from his hotel to the the latter just before the overture was played. He walked leisurely along Nine teenth street, turned into Second avenue and paused as if debating in his mind whether he would drop in at the theater or his club. He wore a Tuxedo and a black overcoat thrown across his should CTS. His silk hat added somewhat to his height. There were many who recog nized MT. Robson, for even in a crowded avenue he could hardly hope to pass in- cognito. And those who saw him at the crossing of the street wished him many happy returns of the day, many future Christm as ones in Birmingham. MT. Rob- son appeared unconscious of it all.
 
 The marriage of Miss Louise Patton to Mir. Charles Thompson of England took place yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock at the residence of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. J. H.

"The Real Widow Brown"

''The Real Widow Brown" farce comedy in three acts, 1t Is said, was one of the pronounced hits of the past sea- son. It is claimed that while the piece would stand alone, specialties of the bet ter order are introduced to meet the de- mand for such form of entertainment
 The plot hinges on the well known theme of matrimony; the trobule all aris- ing from an innocent desire on the part of, Deacon Goodman, the father of two young women with lovers to match, to marry a second time. An opportunity Is offered when he inadvertently happens across a matrimonial paper which has found it's way into the house. His reply to the advertisement of Stella Brown, the real widow" leads to a secret corre- spondence and an agreement to join hearts and hands, but unfortunately one of the letters falls into the hands of the daughters. In 1t the widow acquieces to the proposition that the deacon has made that she come to his house as pre- ceptress to the daughters until their probable objections may be overcome, and sets the time for her arrival. With human inconsistency, the daughters are opposed to having their father take the steps which they themselves are contem- plating, and they separately plot with their respective fiances to frustrate the deacon's plans. One of the young men, to deceive the father, impersonates the Widow Brown by appropriating the gar ments of an elderly aunt; while the other, without consulting his friend. assumes the role of the deacon, for the purpose of breaking off the engagement with the widow when she appears Then the two young men meet, neither knowing the part the other is playing Complications naturally follow and follow fast. The Baron Von Holstein, an cratic German, Teddy and Jane, two lively servants, and other characters add to the m eriment of the performance. The successive mix ups which result from the general misun- derstanding, supply any quality of fun until the whole affair Is unraveled in the third act, to the satisfaction of all, in- cluding the much-abused eacon.
 ''The Real Widow Brown" will be at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight.

CLOCK REVEALS
 FRENCH HISTORY
MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN SECRET DRAWER IN DISCARDED TIME KEEPER TELLS ABOUT ADELE DE ALoNQUlN.

Cincinnati, December 24-A special to the Enquirer from Gallipolis says the dis covery of a manuscript in drawer of an old clock in that city reveals a secret of the French court and shows the reason for the visit to that city in 17S9 of the Duke of Orleans, afterwards Louis Phil- lipe of France.
 The discovery was made by MT. Claude M. Wall who, wishing to make a device to place in his window to attract Christ mas purchasers, went to the storage room where odds and ends are kept and found an old French clock that had been cast aside for many years. Taking 1t apart, he found a secret drawer, in which, to his amazement, he discovered an old parchment manuscript in French, wrapped with a portion of a flannel skirt of child. richly embroidered and bear ing a monogram. A piece of fine lace was also with the manuscript.
 Upon translation the manuscript pur- ported to be true history of Adele De Alonquin." It was signed by Louis De Alonquin, and dated October 15, 17S9. It was addressed to Adele, apparently to be given her when Sne grew to naturlly. The substance of 1t was that Adele was the daughter of the Duke of Orleans. The mother died at the child's birth, ignorant of the rank of it's father. The writer was then placed in charge of the child and sent with 1t to Gallipolis, where there was a French colony.
 The story ran that he became her pre- ceptor, and finally, after the visit of the Duke of Orleans to Gallipolis, it was de- termined to send Adele to a Catholic school in France. Adele's mother not be- ing of royal blood. the marriage was kept secret.
 MT. Wall has sent the papers to the French ambassador at Washington. Some portions of the papers, giving names and lineage, have not been made public.

"San Toy"

That brilliant musical comedy, San Toy'' which Is undoubtedly the big suc- cess of the present season, will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre on Tuesday, December 31st.
 It will be presented here in precisely the same manner as seen during its long run at Dalys Theatre with the same magnificent costumes and scenic environment, and with an exceptionally strong company, which includes the ex- ceedingly clever comedian. Samuel Col lins. The music of San Toy'' has been pronounced the most tuneful since the ''Mikado,'' and its story is highly in- teresting and entertaining.
