Miss Shannon's Joke.

Miss Fife Shannon, who is appearing this season in conjunction with MT. Her bert Kelcey in Sherlock Holiness" tells q very good story at the expense of some English actors who were brought over to this country some years ago to support Miss Nethersole in Carmen.
 Miss Shannon was also in this company, in fact, she was the only American in the cast. The atmosphere of London was so relgiously kept that when she would write to her friends she would invariably start her letters, In London, en tour with Miss Nethersole" By the time Washington was reached, Miss Shannon began to think that it was about due for u lone American to have her inning. Just as the train was pulling into the Capital City, four of the young English actors approached her and exclaimed in chorus:
 "I say, Miss shannon, you being an American, ought to know all the ropes. Can't you recommend us to a ffrst-class cheap hotel?"
 Miss Shannon furrowed her brows for a moment. and then remarked: ''Well, on the whole, l should recommend you to go to the White House. Its run on the American plan, you know. but still it's a thoroughly first-cass institution in every way. The rooms, l am told, are

CHARITY WORKERS NEED
 DONATIONS FOR THE POOR

An appeal has been issued by the Unit ed Charities for donations with which to make the homes of many of Birming- hams poor people brighter on Thanksgiv- ing day. Annually the people who form the United Charities make up many bas- kets on Thanksgiving and send them to as many of the poor people as it is pos sible to reach.
 This year 1t is the desire of those in charge of the work to have even more and better baskets than ever before, and towards this end they are working. A number of personal appeals have been made to those who are regular in their charity work. and a number of responses have been received. It is hoped that through a public appeal that much valu- able stuff will be given.
 The United Charities does not need money as much as it does donations of

Louis James and Frederick Warde.

Alexander. the Great" in which Louis James and Frederick Warde will appear. here. is generally regarded as one of the big show pieces of the season, and in- terest in the performance is very keen. The opportunity, however of seeing MT. James and MT. Warde in entirely new roles will be welcome.
 Comments on the new play have been most enthusiastic, the verdict being gen. erally to the effect that it ranks among the great classic plays of modern author ship. MT. Warde Is cast for the role of Perdiccss, a man who was remarkable both as a statesman and a soldier. He was the favorite of Alexander, who sought his counsel in all his warlke pro- jects. In the play he is made to appear envious of Alexander's fame, and to use his office as means to accomplish Alex anders overthrow. MT. James will appear as Alexander role that has the sym pathy of the audience. Mr. Norman Hackett will be seen as Clitus. Margaret Bourne as Roxana; Engel Sumner, as Cleopatra and Wadsworth Harris. as Snefruchef.

At the Jefferson.

Unheralded and without even his pros verbal trumpet, Gabriel came last night and great was the rejoicing. He is small specimen of humanity scarcely. bigger than a minute, but for three hours yesterday afternoon and last night he proved the center of attraction at the Jefferson theatre when he was introduced as Nat Wills partner in "A Son of Rest
 The programme does not tell much about Gabriel except that he is Willie, CSrubb's friend, and Grubb is Nat Wills nom de plume on the stage. This little specimen is child scarcely more than seven or eight years old, seemingly at least, but he has all the attributes of great comedian and he ranks right along with MT Wills as a delineator of the tramp character. This child Is given lines and scenes which would stagger the ordi- nary actor on the stage and which few comedians could do. but he does them like q veteran and comes out with flying col ors His versatility is something remarka- ble First he is a tramp. then he initiates a cat for half an act Thirdly he takes the part of partner in a song and dance team with clever sidewalk conVersa- ton into which are thrown several nice
 
 People expected to see something very good when Nat Wills was booked to ap- pear at the Jefferson and they were not disappointed. Mr. Wills is matchless in his line of character acting that of tramp and he pleased here better yes Nterday than any comedian of this sea- son.
 Around Mir Wills is a very clever, handsomely costumed and really fine com pany. The music is good. and the cos tunes of the company are the most ele- gant of this season. There are two or three song hits which lived in the mem ories of those who heard them, and one which will be whistled on the streets.
 The chorus is pretty well drilled and shapely. MT. Wills has chosen many small women, and this is really a feature of his chorus It looses nothing by this. Miss Suzanne Rocamora, who has the leading female part, is an old favorite here, and was greeted with warm and hearty applause at both performances. She shows great improvement both in the quality of her voice and her looks.

"sIFF" FOR THE CONDUCTOR.
Will Say "Wait Until the Car stops' No Longer.

From the Washington Post.
 There are some women who have to
 be looked out for lest they run headlong into danger. There are others who are
 level-headed not only in times of great
 moment, but under ordinary circum-
 stances of life.
 There are some street car conductors who have sufficient penetration to know when to warn one against making too nasty descent from the car There are others too much puffed up by what they consider the importance of their calling who do not know when to keep still woman always hates to be judged as belonging to a class to which she does not in reality belong. This partieu- lar woman has been continually annoyed by being cautioned about getting off the cars before they stop because, as she claims. she knows perfectly well when and how to do it. Her friends have long feared that she would create scene she is known to have temper. And now she has done it.
 As the car neared Eleventh and F

The engagement at the Academy continued for three months. The present tour embraces the larger cities of the country and contemplates a return to New York. where the demand for the play has not subsded. The press of the country has been emphatic in declaring that the play has been given one of the most beautiful, impressive and realistic equipments of any of the latter-day dramas Miss Jane Remark, who appears as star in this produe- tion, has scored a success as Cigarette. the idol of the French army of occupa- ton in Africa, and her vivid character ization has stamped her genius.
