Viola Allen is to appear as Viola in Shakespeare's comedy. "Twelfth Night" at the Jefferson theater, next Thursday.
 Miss Allen has given the comedy a mag nificent setting, and il is one that lends itself capitally to scenic splendor. That Shakespeare intended this is beyond doubt, else he would not have laid the scenes in royal dukes palace, or in the splendid Italian garden of a princess. The best artists of America executed these scenes, and they had carte blanche to produce the most artistic and elegant settings possible.
 Twelfth Night is comedy. it has a romantic love story Indeed, there is q very varied interest in the captivating drama, that of love, intrigue sentiment, and registering fun. Twelfth Night. ' with Viola Allen and such a company as supports her with the added interest of a magnificent setting, could not fall to cap tivate and delight
 Twelfth Night was composed for some Twelfth Night celebration-probably for that immediately preceding the first recorded performance of the play in February. 1901.

HOLLY SHIPPING AN INDUSTRY
Tennessee Sends Big consignments to
 she Large Cities.

Nashville.-It is fact not generally known that considerable amount of money is made annually by the shipment of holly at Christmastide from Tennessee to the large cities of the east. the north and northwest. It has grown almost to be an industry in this state
 The shipments begin some time before the holiday season opens. and for a month or more past cars loaded with nothing but the bright red and green boughs have been going into these markets There is not such a great amount of profit to be made out of the holly on account of the high rate of freight, but as all that is made is practically profit. there are many who give part of their time to the ship ments. The holly Is stored away in the larger markets, and at Christmas season Is brought forth, and sprigs of 1t in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago or any of the other great centers will easily bring from 25 cents to $1.
