A. Hassen Smith, whose uncle, Ca soldier of fortune) some twenty-five years before the opening of the play, emigrated to Turkey, and through valuable services rendered the sultan amassed an immense fortune. On his death ne left his for tune, amounting to five million pounds to his nephew A. Hassen Smith, upon the condition that he adopt the Moham- medan religion and marry the two daugh- ters of an old friend of his. In the mean time Smith has met and fallen in love with a young English lady of rank, whose father absolutely refuses to allow his daughter to have anything to do with the poor young American. However, when the father learns of the fortune that has been left Smith, he is more than anxious to have him for a son-in-law. Smiths en- deavors to secure the money without carrying out the obnoxious terms of the will furnishes some very clever comedy situations, some of which are said to be entirely new to the stage. The dialogue is said to be brilliant ana witty through- out.
 George Parsons, who portrays the part of A. Hassen Smith, is young and handsome actor, and is said to be one of the best light comedians now before the public. He has been MT. Golfers leading comedian for the past six seasons, and has established for himself large ellen tele of admirers all over the country by his past clever work.
 The supporting company contains twelve well known names of actors and actresses. The better known perhaps are Maude White, formerly leading lady with Stuart Robson; Isabelle Urquhart, late star of Augustin Daly's Great Ruoy com pany; Myrtle May, the well known in- genue; Clarence Handysde, last season leading man with Kyrle Bellew Tn "A Gentleman of France;" Morgan Conan of Mir Golfers ''The Diplomat company; Becton Radford, late leading man with Julia AIarlowe, and Charles Arthur, late of the Froham forces.
 The production is said 10 pe very beautiful and elaborate one, while the picturesque costumes of the Turkish characters are magnificent creations of l the costumers art. Judging from the amount of interest evidenced by Birming- ham theatre goers this engagement prom ises to be satisfactory one in every | way.

Birmingham play goers will this week see the most expensive and possibly the best company of vaudeville players ever sent south
 Manager Jake Wells of the Bijou thea Ire. has joined hands with Manager J. k. Burke of the eastern offices of the As sociation of Vaudeville managers, and these two experienced promoters of vaudeville have put together a company that is to play at all of the leading vaude- vile houses of the country. The com pany is to be known as the Hermann the Great Company" and will be head ed by Adelaide Herman, the beautiful Queen of Magic" who has just returned from abroad. This engagement will bs her second in America since 1899 for she has just completed a tour around the world collecting new and interesting fea- lures for her interesting contribution to vaudeville. Messrs. Wells and Burke signed contracts with Mme. Hermann, while the artist was in Paris, and the engagement is for thirty weeks more CT less. Mime. Hermann Is the widow of the late Alexander Herman, and from that great wizard of magic, she inherited a vast collection of tricks no other ar tist possesses and with modern ideas from her own mind, most interesting act IS assured Mime. Herman, carris a special scenic arrangement. and will be the special feature of a bill of features for both managers believe in getting the strongest talent at all times.
 Edwin Latell, the best single entertain CT in vaudeville Is another feature. La- tell is a gifted comedian and a musician of rare ability. For years he was a spec ial feature with the best minstrel orgar- izations, and three years ago when vaudeville managers looked around for real features, the comedian was induceS to become a vaudevilEan, by the offer of a salary that is next to the largest drawn by any single act in the profess sion. Hal Merritt, monologuist and car toonist, will be another interesting visi- tor. Merritt tells 6 running story full of laughing points and illustrates his re- marks with rapid crayon sketches. The artist is a feature in all of the best thea. tres and will contribute much to the success of the bill for this week. MT. and Mrs. Young will be seen in a comedy sketch that promises to be one of the best MT. Wells has brought here It is new and bright, and will no doubt score a good strong hit The Fitzgibbons-Mc- Coy trio, comedy act of the new cen tury idea, and Miss Sophie Burnham, a sweet singer comedienne have been en- gagged. Winona and Banks Winter will add to one of the most expensive and attractive vaudeville bills ever put to- gether in this country, and the Vitegraph which made such a good impression last week will be held over and will show new pictures.
 The bill will be presented at usual per- forinances all week. commencing tomor- row night. and including the special mat inees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The governor is a negro. and IL was
under his supervision that the work OF
distributing supplies was begun.
In Fort de France the white people in
line for distribution of food were made
to wait hours. while the blacks received
rations over and over. In many instances
the articles given to the white sufferers
were a superb irony of the distribu
tions. Shoes we're given where bread
Was asked, and The discretionary powers
of the distributing officers were utilized
for the Eumiliating of the whites and
the fattening Of the blacks.
The white planters and mill owners
Of the island protested to the governor.
They suggested that they were in need
of laborers and that, instead of feeding
the idle population, it might be better
to send the hungry to them to have
them earn the supplies given for their
relief. The distribution of supplies has
demoralized them all. In many instances
they have quit work, finding 1t easier
TO so to the distributing offices to be
fed. The negro distributors were so ar
