"NANA,v A VISION OF BEAUTY.
Thousands of Birmlnghan's Most Gull tured People Have Blocked to See This Great Painting.

Great is "Nana," and by thousands are numbered her admirers in Birmingham. Nothing has ever captivated the city as the popular exhibition of the superb paint ing of the Russian artist, Suchorowsly now on view daily at 325 North Nineteenth street, city hall.
 Mana" will be long remembered here as one of the most strangely beautiful, most magnetic, most soul enthralling things ever put on canvas. During the past week hundreds of ladies aud gentle men have fiocked to see the famous pie tlre and spent considerable time in admir- ing the many beauties of this remarkable painting It is a picture which requires study. for it's virtues are so numerous that l a passing glance Is insufficient to reveal them all. The beholder is first bewildered by the dazzling beauty of the flesh tints. the splendor of the figure and grace of pose As the first comprehensive glances give way to a more critical scrutiny the glorious art with which the whole canvas is handled impresses the eye. The great est triumph is the modelling of the figure. There is none>of the waxen effects, so common in flesh tints The pose Is mod est, although the matchless figure is ab solutely undraped. The face is wonderful '1y expressive. The figure reelnes on couch and the draperies at the back of the lounge are mpressively handled, and the minor details are worked out with a con scientiousness of a work of love.
 There is no time like the present to pay this masterpiece visit. Mana Is on exhibition daily from 10 a. m. until 10 D. In

 The story is told in five acts, and the play will be presented by large and effi- cient cast, headed by Mir Higgins and Miss Grace Atwell. MT. Higgins will ap- pear as Joe Braxton, the westerner, and Miss Atwell as Eleanor Downs a Ken lucky girl, who has brought her horse east to race in the great Futurity. The incident of the horse race is used as an element to develop the story, and the TO- mantle interest involved is said to be of sufficient originality and strength to serve as the groundwork of strong and virile play.
 MT. Higgins Is we'll known to the pat rons of the theatre as a writer of good plays who also has tns ability to act them and 1t Is fair to expect something quite as meritorious as his past offerings The scenes are all laid in and near New York, and the characters are quite characteristic and, as is unual with MT. Higgins. of quite decided force and vigor. A fine sec nic production will be given. Mir. Higgins is supported by Grace Atwell. Winifred Grey. Olive Maude Davis, Walter Horton, Charles Fleming. Thomas Reynolds. Allen H. Bailey, W. F. Gladstone, William Bell fort and others.
 The production is pronounced by the Norfolk press as being one of the best comedy dramas seen in that city this sea- son. His Last Dollar will be the bill every night this week, with the usual matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day. Seats are now selling and the in dications are that the Bijou will enjoy another prosperous week.

Love is the underlying motif-the love or a true man for pure woman, and for that love Professor Goodwillie, the character assumed by MT. Beresiord, is willing to sacrifice his position in the scientific world even his friends and the sister to whom he owes so much. But through that sacrifice he gains the love of noble little body who ultimately becomes his partner for life. Of course this happy ending to the game of love comes about only after nu- merous heart aches and heart breaks.
