most valuable assistance by Miss Jane wheatley, the handsome leading lady; Miss Marion Lorne and Frank Sylves- ter.
 The company will present tomorrow night The flaming of the Shrew" The role of Petruchio is favorite one with Mir Edwards. It has been most favor ably spoken of in the cities in which he has played 1t. The record of the company for the past week is assurance that the play will be handsomely staged and finely presented.
 "The Eternal City,"
 Liebler & Co.'S stupendous production 'The Eternal City," comes to the Mont gomery Theatre Friday night.
 Edward Morgan is starring in the play and bids fair to supplant the inn pression he made as John Storm in 'The Christian" with his work as Da- vid RossL, the young Roman political reformer, in the new play.
 He is assisted by a young Pittsburg woman Janet Waldorf, who has won enviable popularity in other sections but who has not had the opportunity of proving to this city just what she can do. This will be her first visit to Mont gomery in a leading role of great con- sequence and that of the fascinating Donna Roma should give her a splen- did chance.
 frederick de BellevIlle is a conspic- uous figure in the cast, playing the Prime Minister, Baron Bonelli. the guardian of Donna Roma, who is also in love with her and endeavors to thwart her passion for Rossl. MT. de Belleville, with his subtle and forceful methods made a powerful impression in this role.
 The character of the Pope will be impersonated by Frank Bangs.
 There are thirty speaking parts and the assertion is made by the manage ment that each is in thorough and satisfactory keeping.
 Pictorially the play should be oi great interest. The locale, Rome. gives ample room for lavish and imposing dis play, a chance which has not been per mitted to pass ungrasped. The eight tableauV represents among other famous places, such historic objects as the Coliseum. St. Peters the Castle St Angelo and the Gardens of the Vatican
 The Mascagni music includes a new intermezso which is said to be as beau. tiful as that in "Cavalleria Rusticana.' The other numbers are an overture, two marches, several entr'acts and a quan. tity of reinforcing incidental music which helps in the creation of mood and atmosphere.

Montgomery Theatre--sThe Eternal Night" Friday evening.
 Biiou Theatre--WaIter Edwards Company in Flaming of she Sbrew," three nights and matinee.
 The patrons of the Montgomery The- atre are fortunate in the class of at- fractions which is being presented at the old and popular playhouse In the early days of the new season. All star casts in successful plays appears to be the rule.
 The artistic triumph achieved by Amelia Bingham and her splendid com pany, embracing two such players as Charles Richman and Frank Worthing. ls still fresh in the minds of the local playgoers. A company of at least sim liar merit and standing, company headed by Edward Morgan will be at the Theatre Friday night, presenting the dramatization of Hall Gaines fa- nous novel, 'The Eternal City"
 If would be a notable performance if the name of Edward Morgan was the only name known to fame appearing in the cast but the company includes oth- CT actors of merit and reputation. MT. Morgan's name alone. in one of the great religious dramas would i'll the house. Local theatregoers are sufi- cfently familiar with his New York successes. He is perhaps the greatest exponent of such characters as John Storm, part which he created and made an enduring memory on the American stages
 fBut like Miss Bingham, Mfr. Morgan is most fortunate in his support. It may be said of "The Eternal City" that 1t will be produced by an all star cast. There is reason to believe that the per- formance of The Eternay City" will be one of the notable theatrical events of the local season. 1t would hardly be the part of wisdom for the patron of the theatre to wait for some other good attraction. It will be physical impossibility for companies like that of Mir Morgan and Miss Bingham to con- tinue to come to Montgomery. The visible supply of stars will be ex- hausted.
 Mir. Morgans leading woman is Miss Janet Waldorf who has made a most favorable impression. Miss Waldorf has starred and starred capably on the continent.
 The name of Frederick de BeIleville Is prominent in the cast. It is assur- ance of additional artistic attractions fin the performance. Another player of the same high rank Is Frank Bangs. All in all the like of the company may not be seen soon in Montgomery.
 At the Bijou the excellent stock com pany headed by Walter Edwards, will remain for three days in the first part of the week. The company in its first weeks engagement at the Bijou made a most favorable impression. It played So a continuously increasing patronage. The company last week presented In excellent style two we'll known legiti- mate plays, Sherlock Holmes" and David Garrick."

If producers and consumers have any doubts on this subject they must De convinced of the actual state Of af- fairs by the following reply of the na- tional Democrats organization to Sec. Shaw's statement above quoted:
 At a conservative estimate 20 times S4,000, ,O00 of manufactured goods can be found in the iron and steel schedules alone which are sold abroad at re- duced prices. Pres. Schawb of the steel trust told the industrial commits sion in 1901 that everything was sold cheaper abroad than at home. Our ex- ports of iron and steel goods for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. were valued at $111,94S,5s6. From these ex- ports a half dozen items, all larger than S4 000, 900, can easily be picked, about which there Is no doubt that all are sold cheaper to foreigners. One of these Is steel rails. the exports of which were valued at S4,253,876; wire valued at $5,S2t.921; builders hardware, val ued at $11,726,191; sewing machines and parts of, valued at $5625 423; pipes and fittings, valued at S6,S10,551; type writing machines, valued at $4,537 l25.

for hardly a performance passed that the popular playhouse was not packed. During the four weeks of Mr. Ed : wards's stay in New Orleans he has nut on four excellent shows. and while the amusement ic rather heavy for summer it has nevertheless pleased large audi ences at almost every performance.
 Miss Jane Wheatley in the character of Katharine this week appears to ex- ceIlent advantage and displays her tal- ents admirably. Her work as the un : tamable Katharine in the first act was all that could be desired. It Is possible Miss wheatley appeared to better ad- vantage as the untamed Katharine than she did as the amed Katherine. This is not intended as reflection on her efforts in the last act, when she be- comes thorouhgly tanned. for that would be doing the charming young actress an injustice. It Is doubtful very doubtful, whether any fault at all could be found with her work this week. Her portrayal of Katharine is excellent in every respect. Mir. Ed-
 wards. as Petruchio, the rich young, gentleman of Verona, gives more than cerditable interpretation of the character. His portrayal is based on the idea that ig Shakespeare's one and only real farce comedy. And he suc- ceeds in making it as farcical as the situations will admit. MT. Edwards work throughout the performance shows his talents to great advantage Frank Sylvester appeared in the dual role of the music master and Grumio. He was good in both characters, and was given hearty applause. Miss Louise Lander made an excellent Bion- dello. She was winsome in the part. She is captivating and clever and she disseminates enthusiasm and fills hev lines with the true life spirit. Mias Florence Noar, as Pedro and Crutis. does credit to her lines. and on tho whole her work can be chased as be- ing equal to the cast. Miss Marion. LoAne. Miss Virginia Kingsldk and the others in the case render fairly good support to Mir. Edwards asd MisA
