ADJUSTMENTS
"sleepine Beauty and the Beast"


 Essentially a spectacle, 'The Sleep ing Beauty and the Beast is novel, superbly staged entertainment, part opera, part pantomine and part comedy, that whiles away an evening in very pleasant fashion. The production seen at the Jefferson theatre last night was in no way disappointing, although busy press agents had devoted much time and space to extolling its scenie and costumic beauty A fairy story of childhood is told in a succession of stage pictures that seem to increase in splendor as the slight plot progresses.
 There is moreover, in "ifhe Sleeping Beauty and the Beast plenty of tuneful music ballet we'll executed and super abundance of fun, some of 1t rather broad and some of 1t worthy of laugh. The comedy element is supplied by the queen--rather a buxom dame-the king, who Is under the thumb Of his vivacious eonsort the nurse of Princess Beauty and the court physician. Harry LeClair as Queen Spadia Is about the most ab- surd burlesque of fat woman that one would care to see, while Tim Cronin as Nurse Lena, Is very amusing at times. These three comedians were exceedingly active and much in evidence.
 The prince, who was Isabelle Under wood has a fine contralto voice and makes a very dashing youth. while Miss Sartella's songs were enjoyed.
 For the rest there Is a wealth of seen cry handsome costumes. and one of the largest companies that has been seen in Birmingham recently. There are some pretty girls scattered about here and there and the number of persons who participate lend life and color to each of the striking scenes. 1.-The Sleeping Beauty and the best" is a stage spec tacle that is worth seeing. There will be a performance tonight, matinee tomer- row night and the engagement will close with a performance tomorrow night.

With less disturbance of the wilder emotions, but with great interest and with entire approbation, we read:

 Joe Wheeler great in peace and war, Has plucked from out the Antilles For freedoms flag another star. We should consider it a gross neglect and a positive sin of omission not to re- produce here the first verse of the poem about Jefferson Davis (pagea 5D, and the last verse of the Admiral Semmes poem (page 2S0). The lines to the President of the Southern Confectionery have brisk ness of movement, a tripping quality, which is not without it's effect. We read; T have read on history's pages Penned by poets and by sages. Of the heroes of the ages,
 Names which all men revere But never yet have read
 Of the living or the dead,
 Of whom 1t could be said
 He was Jeff Davis's peer

 !" Another gallant chieftain
 Of the grand, heroic band
 Who, in the cause of freedom,
 For our blessed Southern land, Stemmed the tide of battle,
 And won a world S renown, Has doffed his earthly laurels
 For Heavens brighter crown. My pen is too unworthy
 To eulogize his name,
 For "earth's, remotest nations"
 Are familiar with his fame. His grand, heroic deeds
 Upon the rolling sea
 Have made his name immortal
 As that of Robert Lee.
 And the waves of old Atlantic
 As they break upon the shore, Will sing in loudos- praises
 His name forevermore;
 And the proud, unfettered winds
 As they sweep from pole to pole Will chant in mournful dirges
 requim to his soul.
 While his bright and faithful sword
 That could but brook defeat, Will shine beneath the deep
 Tn it's silent, safe retreat
 And there twill rest forever,
 Without a blot or stain,
 The peerless gem of gems
 That decks old oceans main eve wish that the admiral might have lived to enjoy this tribute. He led a strenuous life for a considerable period and was doubtless entitled to solace and refreshment. There are 304 pages of po- etry in Dr. Dozier's book-all good"
