MCNTGOMERY'S
 SOCIAL SIDE.

Montgomery. June 14. - Especially - A change of great socia importance in Montgomery Is the emalgamation of the Joie de Vie and the Beauvoir | ubs. These clubs are the fashionable clubs of the city. The Joie de Vic Is twenty-five years old and among its members have been and are the society and dancing men of the city. For many years the begin ming of the social life of the debutantes has ben marke. by German at this par ticular club Mir. Edwin Howell Lewis has been the leader of the Joie de Vie for twenty years. The Beauvoir Club was organiz d In 1894 1t occupies one of the old southern mansions, and is pop ular club to which many of the promi- nent men of the state belong. The Joie de Vie having voted for the consolidation the members of the Beauvoir on Thurs day night at an enthusiastic meeting un- animously decided to endorse the scheme. The name under which the consolida ted club will be knol n has not been decided upon. but will be when the formal organi- zation has been effected.

morning of the production, MT. MOTIFS presented the situation to MT. Drenneh In a few hours the audience would be gathered at the Waldorf. Ellison van SC and Miss Pallser were prepared for their respective parts and the ann bilious and talented young American composer recognized that every thing reuted upon MT. Drennens consent.
 There was not a moments time for a rehearsal, and yet the success or MT
 Norriss most ambitious work lay In the hands of his pupil who had come to New York for the sole purpose of hearing the part sung by the great Bispham.
 It was a dramatic moment. and as with all supreme moments there was little time for making decision, and so the young Southerner and MT. Norris dis cussed it but a short time. MT. MOTHS had absolute confidence in his pupil. 1t was not the first time the two had dis cussed Walt Whitman But the time had come when Whitman was to be inter preted by the pupil and not by the mas ter, and not only Whitmans text but the thematic beauties in the composer S
 work. Whitman's disregard for form and rhythm and Norris effortss to meet him upon a plane of equality were all recognized by MT Drennen, as was
 the fame of Bispham. That in lieu of BlSpnam, ne nau been asked to SHE tne baritone part that the audience was
 critical that above everything 1t was | the first production of Norris great
 work; these were considerations of suf- | ficIent importance to have caused the l young singer to decline the honor. But 1 the moment had come. all unexpectedly, 1 for Walter Drennen to make his New York debut. His cordial reception was subsequently, told in the papers and the | musical journals the most competent of critics pronouncihg MT, Drenren's
 voice to be the richest of baritones, his style 70 be good and hls conception and presentation to be musicianly.
 Judging from the manner In which he treated the different works of MT. Nor ris MT. Drennen should certainly have a brilliant future after he has accom- plished the study which he has laid out for himself" wrote a wellknown musi- cal critic who witnessed Mir Drennen' s imrromptu debut in New York.

MIR. DRAWS STRIKING COMPARISONS.

A member of the musical set has just received from MT. Guckenberger who lately left Birmingham for his new home in Springfield. Mas, about the first news that we have been favored with since his departure.
 Shartly after his arrival in Springfield MT. Guckenberger had the pleasure of attending two festival concerts by a large local chorus and orchestra He claims that the work of this chorus Is no way measured up to the artistic stand ard of the chorus of the Birmingham festivals. He says the attacks and tone quantity and quality were far better than those of the Springfield chorus. MT. Guckenberger, when he resided in Bir- mingham. always gave the chorus all the praise for the good work done. and to show that he was not In this instance bragging. he states that in one of the concerts the chorus and orchestra got so badly mixed and at outs that they had to stop the performance at a convenient point and start all over again. This is one thing that in all the four festivals given in Birmingham the chorus never had to do. Mir. Guckenberger goes on to say that he is still as proud as Lu- cifer over the Birmingham chorus and never will nor can forget it, for 1t is certainly near my heart strings
 You may convey to the chorus mem bers my firm conviction that they can compare favorably with the best of cho- ruses."
 At MT. Guckenbergers debut concert he and Mrs. Guckenberger received a genuine ovation and the Springfield pa- pers were filled with very fiattering crit icisms. Birmingham will be highly pleased to hear this report of good for tune which is already coming to the Guckenbergers and will envy Springfield its good fortune in having these highly talented artists among them.

A movement now commanding much newspaper attention is that looking to keeping open through the summer the plots about school buildings and utilizing them for the plaggrounds of the children wfo have no other places to play in gum mer except upon the public streets. The originator of this plan Is Mrs. Walter S. Hawley Of New York, the charming and gifted wife of The brilliant journalist.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Hawley are widely known in Alabama and throughout the South. and have rnany friends in Bir- mil sham where MT. Iawley began his nowspapct career.
 Mrs. Hawley is a daughter of Captain A II. Mesos. who was head of the old time banking house or Moses Brothers of Montgomery. and who was the lead ing factor in the founding of Sheffield. She has 1ot lived in Alabama for some years, but she s charmngly remembered .n society.

MONA HARRINGTON
 WORKS WITH NEEDLE

Mona Darlington, the charming young leading lady of the Lakevicw stock com pany, carried me back to the days when l was in a boarding school. Every girl always remembers the busy Saturday mornings, when her wardrobe had to be looked over and when the little work basket on the table was actually brought into use and every woman always looks back to those Saturdays with fond re- gret l am not sure but that Miss Car rington had fitted a thimble to her be- jcweled finger. But the work basket was suspicious enough. to be sure. without Miss Carringtons confession that she had been sewing all the morning."
 NO, I did not attend rehearsal this morning." she said in answer to my in- quiry. Saturday, you know is my busy day and I must have some time to call my own, some moments when I can look over my wardrobe and fix little things and plan this costume and the other. There is so much to be done. and between rehearsals and the performance there Is so little time. Why, I hardly have time for my luncheon. and 1t Is hard to be at ones hotel in time for 6 clock dinner"
 She was chatting in her apartments at the Florence an apartment hung with blue and decorated with innumerable photographs of stage celebrities with several pictures of Miss Darlington her self, which, by the way, seemed very pale and in contrast to Miss Darlington and the sweet warmth of her mood.
 It would be difficult for a photographer to reproduce Miss Carringtons very ex- pressive eyes and her mouth with its deeply curved lips that seem to be always smiling. I do not know if 1t is her mouth or her big blue eyes that are constantly smiling. but Mona Darlington looks at life from a view point that reveals to her all. the joy rather than sorrow, the comedy, rather than tragedy. And yet on the stage she plays emotional roles, and Is best adapted to tragedy.

Mrs Hawley said concerning her project today
 "I shall ask the local school board oi inc Nin.teenth District to request the Board of Education to allow the bows and girls of that district to use all the schoolyaids Tn the district as play grounds during the summer vacation. The schoolhouSts are built for the bene- fit of the children, and to that end they should be fully utilized. There IS no good reat on why all school houses nav ing yards or large assembly rooms on th. grour6 floor should not be opened to the school children The Beard Of Edu- cation has ample power under the char ter to provide playgrounds. It Is slow and expensive process to procure Vocant lots and put them in proper conditUn TOT the use of children, as has bcth sug- gested.

WALTER DRENNEN'S DEBUT
 AT WALDORF ASTORIA
Sanu a Part Allotted to David Bispham Without Time for Preparation. 4 Triumph for the Young
 Artist.
BY ANNIE KENDRlcK WALKER.

With Miss Edna Gockel home from Berlin. and Miss Bridewell back from New York and the return of Miss Norma Schooler and Mir. Walter Dren- nen from Boston, the musical world of Birmingham has by no means suffered from the demorallzation of summer, al- though such notable departures have been chronicled as those of the Guckenbergers and the Washburns. Their absence will be more keenly felt later on when the season comes for the summer wanderers to fit homeward. and MT. Washburn's famous little studio will remain closed and the great organs in the city churches will not again know Mir. Guckenberger's touch. The musical set is welcoming one of its greatest favorites, MT. Wal ter Drennen, who returned this week from Boston, after a years absence MT. Drennen will spend his vacation with his family in this city and at some of the nearby country places. He wants a sum mer of absolute rest.

COURAGE.

(To One Who Will Understand) There must be depth of suffering That we may know
 The hither arched swing Of pure delight.
 For mark you how the pendulum Goes oftly to and fro: And see how day unto the night Gives way as shadows grow And lengthen OCT the land. An, yesi I know you dread the dark Of that abyss;
 The depth that yawns below. And you will miss
 The glamor of the suns gold light, And thro' the night
 The glimmer of thes oft starlight: But better you In darkness go That others light may know. For, look youi How do souls best grow Not in the soft
 Sweet benison of light Alternate oft
 With showers light as angels flight: But in the storm and stress Of human passions strength and might When beaten. bowed and borne Unto the earth and torn With fears within and foes without In dread and doubt,
 We faint and fall with fear, With no one near;
 When To! Within each strained nerve There leapeth swift to serve, vital force till then unknown And counted as our own, Sufficient to c:r need.
 I tell you, who have tried it all, Beneath the pail Of our dead hopes there lives The vital spark
 That growth of life immortal gives. As some fair body lent And In the earths embraces pent, That leaps to life and light In blessed blossom bright
 So with these sacrifices made, And softly laid Upon some altar hid From human eyes Their perfume will as incense rise And some sweet balm distil That will your souls hurts cure And render clean and pure, Beneficent and sure. JLLIA NEELY FINCH.

young artist like MT. Drennen who has been studying necessarily for months and who returns home after many tri- urrphs to such rest and quiet in some charming retreat in sunny Alabama
 Mr Drennen will return to Boston In the autumn He expects to go abroad in the early winter or in the spring Tor an indefinite absence, certainly rot less than thu ee years.
 To Study in Europe.
 It has always been his intention to study in Europe. but he wanted to take advantage of the best training that America offered He wanted to pe well prepared for the foreign education and his three CT four years in Boston have been so wisely directed that there Will be no young American better prepared to enjoy the advantages of study in Europe. The musical critics in Boston and New York predict career of great brllliancy for MT. Drennen, not only as a singer but as a composer. He has na- tuI ally accomplished comparatively little in the latter field as yet, but what he has done gives promise or dlstihctloh Nil. Drennen is following in the foot steps of his teacher, Homer Norris, the most eminent writer in America. MT Norris is lover of Walt Whitman, whose Flight of the Eagle" inspired the great composer to his most ambitious Work. Like MT. Norris, MT Drennen is great admirer of MT. Whitman's style. There Is a common bond between the soul of a poet and the musician and Walt Whit mans deep and analytical thoughts have inspired MT. Drennen Tn. so far, his finest musical composition. To give musical setting to Whitman's words has been the most ambitious work of the young artist, who adores Walt Whitman next to Homer Norris. That MT. Norris has repeat edly shown his appreciation of MT. Dreinens ability is evidenced in many ways. The most striking instance of MT. Norris confidence in his pupil was on the occasion of the first produc- tion in New York last winter of the com poser's musical setting of Whitmans 8 "The Flight of the Eagle" It was given at the Waldorf-Astoria before an ultra fashionable audience. David Bispham, of the Grau Opera Company recognized as the greatest of all American baritones was to present the composition with Ellison Vanhoose, the famous tenor, and Miss Esther Palliser. By strange CO., incidence, MT. Drennen, who studied the baritone part for its first production in Weltham, Mass, being deeply interested came from Boston to hear Bispham sing the part. But the latter was very i'll and | unable to appear. At nine o'clock on the

is always cast for tragic roles, when she prefers comedy, and grotesque comedy at that, She has so keen sense of hu- nor that she often wonders why she of all persons should be playing emotional roles. that she should have the power to make an audience almost sob, that she could Invest a tragic role with sufficient dignity and intensity to hold the sympa- thies of an audience night after night
 In "The Wife" Miss Darlington had role that played on the emotions. but 1t was not role that she liked although she was seen to such great advantage
 Emotional roles are the favoritc ones with the majority of women" said Miss Darlington. "They will go year after year to weep over Camille and did you ever hear of a woman who did not enjoy East Lynne? Now, men prefer comedy. Such morbid roles as Camille have no at fractions for them. They prefer to laugh, to be amused
 Miss Carrington's humor Is inherited from her mother, who was born in Ire land Miss Carrngtons father is an old New Yorker. and she has a sister who is on the stage.
 Miss Darlington thinks that Mir. Kendall Weston makes splendid leading man. and she Is delighted with all the members of the stock company. The only objec- tion she has made to Birmingham IS the weather. She is accustomed to lake shore breezes.
 Miss Reed. the pretty little soubrette of the stock company, dropped into Miss Carringtons apartments. The former Is a Nashville girl, and she is great little favorite with theatre-goers.
 Miss Darlington will be seen in new role this week, that of Susanne in "A Scrap of Paper" Even the most blase playgoer has been delighted with the plays so far presented by the Lakeview Stock Company.
 Vaudeville and summer opera are all very well in their way" said first nighter yesterday. but l prefer the play"
 Miss Darlington has already made countless friends in Birmingham and she Is pronounced to be the most capable leading lady that any of the stock com panies has yet engaged.
