Rouers Brothers.

Klaw & Erlanger's Comedy Company and Gus and Max Rogers in John Me Nallys latest vaudeville farce, The Rogers Brothers in Washington" which comes to the Jefferson Theater next Thursday, does not confine itself to the District of Columbia, either with regard to it's scenic products or the popularity of its stars on a thoroughfare like Penn sylvania avenue.
 Reports of this play. which attained an immense success in New York, Phila- delphia, Chicago, Boston and other cities, say 1t Is not only a spectacular marves but has more varied comedy in music and stage business than anything the season has offered. There are eighty people in the Rogers Brothers Company and half of them are young women, who are the pick of the flock from the most famous theaters on Broadway. The story of the piece is broad and humorous in every line. Yet 1t has plot, at least as well defined as any of the catchy French farce comedies that have com e to these shores

STORIES OF MEN AND
 QUEER INCIDENTS
BY HOMER GEORGE.

The talk of the passing of old customs begins to grate on the nerves. Mark the latest. It was in a barber shop Saturday night. I wanted a shave and wanted it quick So when I walked into the place and saw an empty chair I made for it. The ten or fiften men sitting around I forgot to consider. But before I reached the chair I heard the barber call '16" At the same time man with six days beard scraggling over his face walked out from the rear. He passed up a card and took his seat.
 About the same time bootblack hand ed me a card on which the number 25 as printed.
 "I don't want hair cut-only shave" !" I said, as I pulled out a quarter and started to give to the boy.
 You take this card; you have to have it." chimed in the barber. while the boot black asked:
 What is this money for?" reaching for it.
 But I began to get wise at that and slipped the money into my pocket, at the same time quietly taking the ticket and hunting a chair. I had supposed at first that this was a new way of paying for work in advance.
 By quietly watching I found that thers was no more calling:
 Next"
 Instead the numbers of the cards were called consecutively.
 The inauguration of the card plan in Birmingham marks the passing of a cus-

French Opera company.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal has the following to say regarding the artist ability of Mime. Foedor. one of the most prominent artists of the French Opera Company:
 Last night Mime. Foedor made her ini- tial Memphis appearance as Gioconda. She is dramatic soprano of magnificent possibilities. She impressed at once. Her Interpretation of Ponchiellfs heroine is distinguished by deep artistic insight, by unfailing earnestness and a vigor of vocal style. All of her best qualities were ex- hibited last night and the audience was quick to recognize them She was in espe- cially good voice and her vocal method gave fine power and resonance to her tones.
 There Is wonderful volume in her voice. It is robust in it's strong persistent

Adelaide Thurston.

A large audience was at the Jefferson last night to greet Miss Adelaide Thurs ton in her return engagement in Sweet Clover" and went away as well pleased as on its presentation here earlier in the season.
 Sweet Clover is claimed to be a sim pie pastoral love play. It, however, has enough of the lovers complications to make it interesting and even exciting at times. Miss Thurston as Lois Holcombe was faultless and while her support was not at all times up to her standard, it was nevertheless good and at all times pleasing.

Vaudeville at Auditorium.

An exceptionally good bill is the verdict torium this week. and they are right.
 Master Jimmy Duffy alone is a star attraction, and he Is making a hit every time the curtain goes up. He will give a reception to the children of Birming- ham on Friday afternoon after the mati- nee. A sight almost as pleasing as the performance is the real pleasure and en- joyment the children get out of Master Duffy's act. His reception will probably be largely attended. as he appeals speci- ally to ladies and children. James Sulli- van and Carrie Weber also have an act which is abounding in real good comedy.
