Perhaps it Is necessary first to read Hall Gains novel, "The Eternal City" n order to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the play, or perhaps the audi ence at the Jefferson last night was in no mood for the tense action and high strung emotion of the Manxman, for 1t was cold and unresponsive to q degree. Yet Edward Morgan and his company succeeded in giving a vivid performance. Rome <vas real and the people who played seemed at times to feel the emotion which they acted so skillfully.
 Although at times MT. Morgan looked and acted the part of David Rossi with telling effect. he has a trick of enuncia- ton that handicaps him badly. If he would speak clearly and If his voice had greater volume no fault could be found with his interpretation of the role.
 The leading womans part was enacted by Miss Janet Waldorf. Considering the fact that she was on the stage nearly all the time and the burden of the acting fell upon her shoulders, she acquitted herself admirably. At times Miss Waldorf appeared trihe too stagy and unnatural. but few great stars can portray the most powerful of human emotions with out exaggeration. and as the action of the play progressed she improved won derfully. She was at all times effect

NO CIRCUS COMES
 HERE THIS SEASON Small Boy YearnS to See a
 Great Show THE HEAVY LICENSE TAX High License the Reason Why Circus Gives Birmingham the Go-5y. Aldermen May Adopt More
 Liberal Schedule.
THE HEAVY LICENSE TAX

Mister, can you tell me why de cir cuses don't come to Birmingham no more?" asked a newsboy whose eyes twinkled as his memory recalled the happy days when he stood on the corner and stopped selling papers long enough to see the elephants and the gilded chariots pass In review as the band played "a hot time in the old town tonight' and other stirring tunes
 To save his life the interrogated man could not answer the question. and to prevent further embarrassment he set himself about ascertaining the cause.
 In the Montgomery and Atlanta papers huge advertisements are appearing an nouncing the coming of the greatest circus on earth" Birmingham, in the meantime, has no such treat In store.
 Heavy License Tax.
 The reason as can best be learned comes from the heavy license tax In this city. Last year leading circus, pre- sumably to avoid the city license select ed show ground outside the city lim- It's. Considering this a plan to get even. with the city and get away from
 
 fees, the board of mayor and aldermen lost little time in returning the compli- ment. The circus was promptly taxed $500 for giving a free street parade. That day there wag no circus parade and for the first time In years hundreds of little boys and girls went home with tear stained faces after waiting hours for the blast of the band and the appearance of the decorated wagons
 The city tax on circus in Birming- ham is about $500 Formerly this was divided so as to charge s2OO for the parade and $500 for the show. The city has the right to levy license for each perform ance, but h. the past an agent of the circus has appeared before the board and a lump sum was agreed on which covered both performances in the "big tent'' and the parade. as well as the sldeshows.
 Aldermanic Effort.
 The circus license matter was brought before the board not long since, and Al derman Barbour introduced a resolution removing entirely the license for a parade. This was deemed inadvlsable, ns 1t was argued that 1t would give the circus the opportunity of showing outside the city and Birmingham would get no revenues whatever from the eventful oc- casion.
 It is understood that an effort is now being made to arrange a license schedule agreeable to both the city and the circus homogeneous. If this Is done persons in. terested in amusement enterprises say that the children of Birmingham may yet have an opportunity of following the big wagons to the tent and if the op. portunity offers, slip under the canvass.

At the Rilou.

Joe Welch drew a large crowd to the Bijou theatre last night by his clever performance in "The Peddler." The play will no doubt prove popular here. MT. Welch is himself an actor of marked abil- ity, while his supporting company is good. As a peddler he gives one of the best Hebrew Representations that has been seen her in long time. with the excep- ton of David Warfield, m ''The Auction eer." It can be said that The Peddler" is far above the usual melodrama that Is seen at the Bijou and Is a play that de- serves the liberal patronage of Birming- formance tonight and matinee tomor- row

i've especially in the climaxes, and when she confronted Bonelli. Although MT. Morgan Is proclaimed the star he was on the stage but a short time, while Miss Waldorf was prominent in every act.
 In addition to these two there were several others who distinguished them selves by their cleverness. W. E. Ben ney, as Bruno Rocco. was exceptionally good When he faced the military tribu- nal and remained true to Rossi, although he believed his leader had robbed him of his wife, he reached a superb climax and one of the few that stirred the audi ence to enthusiasm. His powerful voice is well suited to the role which he has to play.
 Frank c. Bangs, as the pope, gave striking portrayal of character that must perfofce be imbued with all the dignity and sanctity of real prelate. He was impressive in appearance and his stage presence magnificent. MT. Bangs achieved one of the greatest successes of the performance.
 Those who are familiar with the book need not De told the plot. The play has been here before and Is undoubtedly one of the most powerful thrat has been pre- scented in recent years.
