The story of the stampede over the
Arctic divide of the Seward peninsula
is one of the heroic pages of history
which will probably never be written
In detail. 1t abounds In instances of
reckless daring and optimistic philoso-
ply. Imagine, for instance, starving
man walking sixty miles with frozen
feet and then cheerfully sitting down
and amputaiing his own blackened
toes with his pocketknife. in order to
avert blood-poisoning. Such episodes
as that are mere trivial details in the
history of the Arctic Ocean or bust

There were no trails in those frozen
wilds. and each party had its own
ideas as to the best route. Half frozen
and on famine rations they struggled
nOrthward. Some of them came upon
lava beds that necessltated painful!
and difficult portage, and often, for
weeks at time. they had no shelter
but their sleeping bags.
1t was impossible to calculate def
niteiy OH the days travel, for fierce and
sudden blizznrds forced them to the
shelter of their sleeping bags for hours,
and even days. The spirit thermome-
ter often registered sixty degrees be-

,pediaeval singers as Chretien de Proves and Wolfram von Eschenbach. The Ar thurian legends are, of course aniliatea with "Parsifal" and in the tale or the Round Table. Sir Galahad may be some- what identified with Wagners hero
 The direct source of Wagner's inspira- tion was the splendid narrative Of Wolt- ram von Eschenbach, the celenratec minnesinger of the court or Heihrlch the First: with this for working basis Wagner proceeded to amplify, alter and revitalize the original legend until the libretto of eParsifal' possesses deep philosophical character.
 Wagner himself called it play for holy day. and in his mind its ethical significance gsas never lost sight of. For that reason, from its initial performance in Bayreuth until a year ago last Christ mas eve it was never given outside or the Festival theatre.
 Briefly sketched. the action of the opera concerns the adventures of guile less youth. Parsfal known as the Guile less Fool. who journeys into the country of the Grail Amfortas. King of the Grail. has succumbed to the temptations laid for him by I<lingsor. magician and enemy of the order of Grail Knights, and has thereby lost and been wounded by the sacred lance. and furthermore. can find no rest until healed, and is unable without great agony to preside at the love feast. which gives spiritual refresh ment to the Knights of the Grail.
 Parsifal. the incarnation of innocence, succeeds in vanquishing the powers of evil, in withstanding the blandishments of Kundry; Amfortas regeneration. physical and moral. is effected, and Par sifal is finally elevated to .se kingship of the Grail

Birmingham society is agog over Par sifal' Wagner's last and greatest opera will be presented at the Jefferson theatre by Conrieds company from the Metro politan opera house, April 27-a week from next Thursday. Already number of lecture recitals on Parsifal have been given here. and MT. Dahm-P Petersen, as- sisted by local musical talent, will give a "Parsifar' lecture at the Jefferson next Thursday afternoon
 The advance sale of seats began at the Cable company's store March 20, and every $5 ticket was sold within the first few days. The s7 and $10 seats have been selling steadily, but they are not yet all disposed of. The indications are. how ever. that on the day of the performance 1t will be impossible to find an unsold seat.
 The Conried company is the largest and most expensive that ever went en tour. It carries it's New York scenery and about 225 people. The Grau company that visited Birmingham three years ago was large but not as large as Conrieds by fifty people. Conried's chorus on this tour numbers nearly 150 voices, and the orchestra numbers 57 musicians, besides the director and the librarian.
 In Chicago, Denver and other cities where Conried's troupe has appeared this spring, "Parsifal' has drawn packed houses The audiences have been wild with delight and the critics unstinted in their praise.

 We had engaged for our minstrels Claimants orchestra, supposed to be one of the best and most reliable in the city, they had rehearsed all the music and knew exactly what was expected of them. They played the opening chorus. and then for some unknown reasons. deliberately walked out of their seats and left the building and up to this time have made the club no explanation whatever for their remarkable action. Being forced to continue the performance with only a piano accomplishment, cast gloom over those on the stage as well as the audience, to such an extent that the performance was almost ruined. The Athletic club feels that this explanation should be made to the public, to show that the trouble was one we could not possibly have anticipated Or prevented" :"

"Runnina for Office"

Every day we hear about great Broad way successes in New York and that thoroughfare has become the mecca of the theatrical business. If a play is success on Broadway 1t points to almost certain success on the road But there are points of New York, off Broadway, where occasionally big hit occurs, which Is a surprise to the profession. The F our Cohans hit, Running for Office" a year ago last spring, at the old reliable Four teenth street theatre. the home of many great successes in the past. was in the nature of a triumph and all New York fioclSed to the down town district to see and be witness of a success off Broad way. Running for Office" was the sec- ond setting which George NJ. Conan had given to himself and the members of his famous family, and for three months the play ran to the utmost capacity of the theatre, tremendous box office showing each night to attest it's popularity.
 Sam H. Harris and the author, George M. Conan. are presenting this clever play with a strong metropolitan cast, which easily surpasses the musical comedy com panies sent on tour. They use the orgi- nal production which was highly praised when seen in New York during it's long run there The costumes are all new ef fective and picturespe. The story of the play has a political campaign for it's cen tral motive. with it's attendant comedy and enlivening episodes. It will be seen here at the Bijou theatre Easter week

"A Fighting Chance"

It seems that this is the age of western plays, and that the pulse of the people will respond quicker to the action of such plays than anything else in the dramatic field. With this knowledge Wells, Dunne and Harlan cast about for such a play for Walter Edwards, and the star discovered just the thing himself, in the thrilling play "A Fighting Chance" a story of ranch life,
 A new company has been engaged, and a new scenic and mechnieal equipment added, thus making the attraction of more than unusual interest in every possible respect especially in equipment, for the mechanical and electrical offering will as tonish those who imagine they have seen the best
 "A Fighting Chance" is full of sur prises, with enough pathos to hold the ipterest of the spectator, and with quality of comedy that will entertain from the opening until the very close.
 The story is one of western life. It tells of the deep love of two men. They are brothers--twn brothers-and they have lived for each other. One is cowboy on Sunset Ranch, the other a miner in the Rockies The cowboy wins the love of a girl, and the miner comes to the ranch to witness the ceremony that will give him sister On the eve of this event, half breed mad with a jealous rage, kills an Indian squaw, and places the crime atS the door of the cowboy, who makes his escape just as the miner appears and is arrested The mistake is permitted to continue until the clouds are cleared away and then the world learns that the falsely accused man has died in the Rockies during a snow storm.
 Incidental to all this there are exciting happenings that will make one si- up and listen And the mechanical part of the offerings will be talked about continually
 There is every reason for the prediction that this will be the hit of Mir Edwards career in Birmingham.
 The Bijou will be closed on Good Friday.
