telligent and who strive to get the best results. They certainly succeeded in winning the admiration of the two au- diences of yesterday.
 The two sons were played by John Abbott and Wedgewood Nowell, the good and the bad respectively. They were much more effective than one us- ually sees with companies of this char acter. Miss Layng was the blind moth CT and she brought to the part convic- tion and clever and capable under standing. Miss Lee was Dora Appleton | the pretty young woman in love with the good but misunderstood son. Hers was the emotional role and she sus- tained it well.
 Of the character parts John Cumber- land as Ed Whimple. New England chore boy was a trifle the best al- though he was closely followed by James Connors as an ungainly. stam- mering country youth. The country hit and Blanche Gibbs made a convinc- ing Liddy Ann Podge. the girl from the poor house who was admired by the gawky country boys.
 Phyllis Morton gave a reliable pie ture of Hilda Garth. the Gypsy girl, and Raymond Capp showed talent as her brother.
 The company IS a large one and the other members filled every require ment.
 The four scenes of the play are car ried by the company and 1t was admir- ably staged. The snow scenes were ex- ceptionally good bits of stagecraft and the toboggan slide on Cedar Hill, shown in the second act, caused the audience to gasp with astonishment
 So many applications were made for reservation>of seats that Manager Neal said he had arranged for the company to prolong it's engagement in Mont gomery until Thursday evening. The players go from here to Atlanta where they open Friday night and as Thurs day was an off day with them they will play at the Bijou that night. The per- formance will be repeated tonight.
 Manager Neal of the Bijou was also made happy yesterday by the receipt of a telegram from Jake Wells wishing him a happy holiday season and an- nouncing the successful opening of the new Bijou Theatre in Richmond, Va, yesterday. To this telegram MT. Neal replied in kind and congratulated Mir. Wells on the opening of his new theatre.

con Thanksgiving Day.r

Happiness had its home at the Bijou Theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. Manager o. A. Neal of the the atre was happy Manager E. Green burgs of the company presenting "On Thanksgiving Day." was happy, and two great audiences, whose patronage caused the happiness of the managers, were made happy by the excellent en- tertainment provided by the players.
 At matinee "On Thanksgiving Day. was presented to a fine audience, an audience that filled every bit of space in the theatre. At night a second large audience saw a fine entertain Each audience manifested its enthust- asm unmistakably. Undoubtedly the people, many of the best h Montgom- cry, were surprised completely by the character of the play and the general excellence of the company. They had gone to the theatre because 1t was hol iday. Soon after the curtain ascended they realized that they were witness ing a most extraordinary performance for the admission fee charged They applauded so often and so vociferously that the players were time and again brought before the curtain.
 "On Thanksgiving Day" is a rural drama. It is correctly described on the bills as "a play that tells good, strong story with plenty of heart in- terest in 1t, teeming with clever char acter sketches" It might have been added that Owen Davis has written a sane, coherent story that is not too melodramatic to appeal to sensible. thinking people. It Is a story of blind mother who has two young men sons. one good, the other bad. The mother gives her greatest love to the bad son who casts his guilt of sin upon the shoulders of his good brother. With this material a really strong, interest ing drama has been builded. It Is sus- tained throughout and the climaxes are reached naturally and without straining sensibilities Moreover the songs and speciality features are intro duced reasonably along with the play and not injected between the acts.

There is a fiat strip of land less than a mile long on the southwestern coast of Norway which has long been noto- rious for the number of shipwrecks which occur there each year. There seems to be nothing in the shape Of the coast, no dangerous rocks. no mys- terious currents-in short, nothing to account for the fatalities which occur there. Quite recently a scientist has found that the sand along this strip of land Is strongly magnetic owing to the admixture of magnetic iron ere. At a distance of three miles from the shore the ships compass showed a de- yiation of a whole degree from its true position. The cause for the fre- quency of shipwrecks is most obvious in the light of this discovery.

Many observers have rallied against the apartment house, declaring 1t to be destroying American home life In many ways. But that makes no diff ference to the public of Manhattan. The people have grown used to the apartment house and they prefer 1t to the modest little one family dwelling of yore, where you attend to your own furnace and carry out your own ashes
