Thus far their efforts have enabled them
to construct apparatus whereby they can
converse through telephone instruments
but without intervening wires, at dis

Their main station is located In the
basement of Kopf's home in Carpenter

which they set up at varying distances
from the main station when they make
their tests. Communication is had through
the ground. The wires from the main sta

phone direct are carried 20 poles set in
the ground at either side Of the main

TO get in communication with the main
station the young inventors take the

The coming attraction at the Bijou
theatre is one of conspicuous merit. 1t
is Forester & Mittenthals superb pro-
duction of "A Midnight Marriage" This
attraction will begin its engagement to-
morrow night and remain for one week.
The author, Hal Reid, has constructed
a drama of human emotions. In brief.
the play tells of the marriage at mid
night in a Bowery concert hall of a
young girl who is earning her livelihood,
and that of her mother, by singing, to the
son of a millionaire. The young wife
rescues the husband from his arch enc
mics, cousin and his paramour, who
consipre to poison him. The husband
takes his wife to his fathers home,
where both are disowned, the cousin
having poisoned the mind of the father
and mother against the son and his
young wife,
Cast Syom the parental home the young
man, aided by the brave and true hearted
wife, secures employment and starts
housekeeping. The hatred of the cousin
still pursues the young couple. he MAX

prove q. most welcome one to the patrons
of the Jefferson Theatre is to the effect
that Mason and Mason in their new mus
ical comedy success Fritz and Snitz,"
under the direction of Nfessrs. Broadhurst
& Currie. will be seen next Friday.
The production is entirely new, bright
ened and polished for this seasons cam
paign and will no doubt prove the 'piece
de resistance" in the line of musical COM
edy offerings this season. In fact the
farce really seems to grow in favor as
one sees it. The performance will be
found to equal, if not excel, even those
musical comedies now on the road, leav-
ing little or no room for Improvement
One of the features of the show which
will stand out prominently will be the
chorus of thirty singing beauties. These
indispensable adjuncts to the successful
twentieth century musical comedy have
been supplied with costumes which are
described as being revelations of the
modistes art. The new musical num-
bers and the list of entertaining melo-
dies will tickle the ear, several of which
are confidently predicted to become popu-
lar hits.
The entire show is up to date and is

Tomorrow night the winter theatrical
season in Birmingham will be fully in
augurated with both the Jefferson and
the Bijou doors thrown open to the pub
lie. Although three attractions have al
ready visited the Jefferson, they were
merely preliminary, as 1t were, and the
first theatrical event of the season will
be the engagement of Tim Murphy, the
fayorite comedian, who will be at the
Jefferson for two engagements. Monday
and Tuesday. Mr.. Murphy will present
two new comedies that are said to be
most entertaining and give ample scope
to his talents. AS Mr. Murphy is very
popular in Birmingham he will no doubt
be greeted by large houses on the occa-
sion o. his visit here.
Later in the week we are to have
Mason and Mason, the we'll known
Dutch comedians, in a new musical COM
edy that is said to be the best they have
yet attempted. By the way, their Fritz
and Snitz'' is the first musical comedy of
the season, but there will be scores more
to follow. Indeed, the crop of musical
comedies this winter promises to sur
pass all previous records.
Manager Semon has secured for the
opening week a. the Bijou a melodrama
of the style that has proved strong
drawing card at that playhouse in the
past. "A Midnight Marriage" promises
to prove popular Aere and will no doubt
be greeted by a large audience tomorrow
night.
The managers of both theatres state
that the prospects for the season are ex-
ceptionally bright just now and they have
many good things in store for their
patrons At the Jefferson it is probable
that all the favorites of last year will
return and there will be some new stars
whose faces are not quite so familiar
hers.

to be seen here with them both. On
Monday next he will give us Two Men
and a Girl" romantic comedy by Fred
erick Paulding, and on Tuesday even
ing the play will be When a Man Mar
ries," three-act, satiricaa comedy by A.
c. Bishop. In each Mr. Murphy shines
as brightly as ever in the star role, and
with the assistance of an exceptionally
strong supporting company will give two
evenings of the most refined merriment
Later in the season Mr.. Murphy is to go
into New York for a long run at one of
the leading Broadway theatres and is to
present one or the other, or possibly both,
of these plays With that intention be-
fore him he has given each a very elab-
crate scenic mounting and has costumed
them with a degree of lavishness not al
ways customary with travelling attrac-
lions.
As 1.-TWO Men and Girl and when
a Man Marries' have been tried and are
conceded to be genuine successes 1t seems
evident that Tim Murphy has won more
laurels.
