In outlining his plans for next season.
William A. Brady states that he has
arranged with Mrs Humphrey Ward for
the American dramatic rights of the
Marriage of William Ashe,'' which has
proved the best selling book of the year.
The heroine of the novel, Kitty Ashe, will
be created by Grace George, and the
character is said to be one peculiarly
adapted to her personality. Miss George
will open her season early in October,
however, presenting new play by a
young American author who has never
had hearing up to this time. The title
and nature of the drama are being kept
secret, as the character and locale are
novel in the extreme Miss George Is
to create a character entirely unlike any
in which she or any of the other female
stars have appeared
The Marriage of William Ashe" will be
produced about Christmas and an occa-
sional performance of Abigail will be
given from time to time during the sea-
son.
Way Down East will enjoy its fifth
long engagement in New York City, OPEN
ing the season in the Academy of Music
about August 10. The play will have a
run of ten weeks. at the end of which
this play will have been given nearly 500
performances in Greater New York.
Wilton Lackaye will make a tour of
the Pacific coast and the south for the
early part of his season, opening In Duluth
August IL, and stopping only twice be-
tween that city and Portland. Ore. Mr..
LaclSaye will appear in 1.-THE Pit
"Trilby" and 1.-THE Pillars of Society,"
He will present these plays through the
west until February. when he will return
to New York. opening his engagement in
his own dramatization of Les Miser-
ab1es," which will be followed by three
important revivals with all star casts.
Wright Lorimer will continue in 1.-The
Shepherd King presenting 1t in the cities
OF the middle west for the first time.
Mr.. Lorimer's tours includes a four
months run in Chicago, and it is likely
that he will accept an offer that has been
made for a spring production of the Bib
lical play In London, England.
For Robert Mantell, Mr.. Brady has am
bilious projects looking forward to an
immense classic repertoire lie has al
ready provided Mr.. Mantell with costly
productions Of Richard H." "Richa1eu,"
Hamlet" and "Othello" Early in Oc-
tober Mr.. Mantell will essay Macbeth. fol-
lowing It. a month later, with an elabor-
ate production of king Lear" Mr.. Man
tell will be seen for long run at one Of
the larger Broadway houses. Besides his
Shakespearean productions he will put
on play new to this city, entitled 'The
Dagger and the Cross" Negotiations are
In progress with George Musgrove where
by Mr.. Mantell will make an Australian
tour. opening in Sydney early in April

HERE is SO much interest in the re-
vival of things vaudeville, that 1t Is
i quite probable that Mr. Wells will
continue to serve that class of entertain-
ment at the Casino for the remainder Oh
the summer season, provided he can op-
tain the sort of talent that has made
up the bills already presented during the
season of vaudeville.
Commencing tomorrow night, at the
East Lake Casino a bill of vaudeville
and Ministries will be the attraction for
the week, There is good talent in the
make up Of the bill, and there is at least
one novelty that will hold up the drawing
power of the resort, even before the quail
ity of the entertainment is known And
the other acts are of high degree Of ex-
ce1lence.
Diana, the Mirror Queen, will be the
novelty feature of the bill. Diana Is
wonderfully clever novelty dancer. She
is a decidedly pretty woman gifted with
grace and charm that has won her po-
sition thoroughly envied by her immediate
rivals. She is native Of France, and her
Paris successes made her much desired
in the eastern vaudeville houses. The
prime novelty of her act, however, is the
fact that the stage Of her act Is set with
polished mirrors, In front of which she
dances. producing an effects that is quite
astonishing. In fact some people have de-
clared that Diana carries chorus to
produce the effect. The novelty OF this
act will prove as great drawing card as
the feature of the bill last week.
The Pan-American Minstrels will con-
tribute the other numbers on the bill
which means there will be rare entertain
ment. Jack Lyle, the monologuist; the
famous Savoy quartet Lambert ano
Pierce, the dancing comedians; Swift ana
Buckley, the musical comedians, and Max
and Duncan, comedy acrobats, are In the
olio and the first part will be good
session of comedy and music.
The musical numbers to be introduced
in the first part have been carefully Sc
lected and will serve to introduce num-
Der of the newest successes now popular
in the larger cities.
This attraction has been thoroughly
well tested, and 1t comes to Birmingham
well staged and with the promise OF scor-

Louis James.

Louis James announces his plans for the
coming season. He will appear under
the management Of J. ]. Coleman In sump-
tuous revivals OF "Virginius," "Ingomar,"
and "hlchelieu," complete in every detail,
scenery costumes and accessories, and
supported by a company the equal of
which, we are assured. has not been seen
since the palmy days of the SOS.
He will commence these REVEALS at
Ford's Opera House, Baltimore. Labor
Day, September 4, then will make an ex-
tensive tour OF the principal cities, re-
turning to the Broadway theare after
the holidays. This will be the first time
'Virginius' has been played as pro-
duction on Broadway in almost de-
cade, and 10 the present generation
should be a classic novelty and treat.

KyrIe BelIew.

The plans of Liebler & CO. for Kyrle Bel
lew next season include very thorough
and complete tour of the south, tour
which will take in practically all the
larger cities, and consume fully three
months of the season. The medium will
be the Hornung-Presbrey dramatisatlon
of the famous Hornung stories. 'The
Amateur Craftsman" and "Raffles''-the
title of the play uniting the two, viz,
"Raffles. the Amateur Cracksman prob
ably the most pronounced success of the
past two seasons, and altogether too good
a play to withdraw Mr.. Bellew from
while one-half of the country has not
yet seen either, Mr.. Bellew or Raffles-
for since he has been under Liebler &
Co. s management-now nearly five years
--Kyrle Bellew has never appeared in the
south, nor has Raffles ever been on the
other side of the Ohio or Potomac rivers.
There Is very loud call from London for
Mr. Bellew and "Raffles," and there is
also natural anxiety ON the part of
Lieb1er & Co. to give Mr.. Bellew new
play, for he has now played "Raffles''
for two seasons. Either policy would
seem very foolish SO long as one Sec
ton Of the country remains virgin ter
ritory'-and that is the present situation
as regards the entire south, from the At
lantic seaboard to the Southwestern Tex

cluded upon:
Opening at the Majestic theatre Mon
treal, September rs, the company goes
into the Hollis street theatre, Boston, the

week Of October will make a brief tour
of cities in the eastern circuit that will
include, in the order here named, Bangor.
Portland and Lewiston, Me-, Manches-
ter New Hampshire; Salem, Mass, and
Newport, r. l., then FAN River Worces-
ter and Springfield, Mass. and Hartford.
Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport

exception Of Providence. for which Oc-
tober %, "a and % are booked. After
completing the eastern circuit "Raffles"
will go into the Garrick theare. Philadel-

Tim Murphy's New Play.


Ought story to be told before one
goes to see play? AS a matter of fact
1t ought not One does not tell the point
of joke in advance and women consider
| 1t libel that they are reputed to read
| the last chapter of a book before the
first. There are, however, two facts with
regard to a play Authors have discov-
cred that an audience must be let into
the secrets which the characters are sup
posed to be concealing from each other
and people certainly do relish a foreknowl-
edge of what they are going to see
It's a grave injustice to the author. He
finds two hours and a half an all too
brief time in which to tell his story
clearly and completely. He always shud-
ders when asked to give synopsis Of
his play. Yet fools rush in,' and what
authors shrink from others are perfectly
willing to attempt.
Mr.. Tim Murphy is to produce his new
comedy, "A Corner in Coffee" at the JEFF
ferson. 1t was dramatized by Owen Davis
from the Rev DR.. Cyrus Townsend
Brady's novel which appeared in Smart
Set and has since been published in
book form. II is regarded as one of the
foremost dramatic successes of the season,
a happy state of affairs due in no small
measure to Mr.. Murphy's whimsical yet
forceful Characterization of Elijah ID. Til
lottson.
The story Of "A Corner in Coffee" to
be told well and adequately requires two
hours and half, four acts, several mas
slve sets of scenery. large company
and star comedian of sterling qualities
However, what it's all about may be
gathered in vague way from this brief
sketch.
elijah d. Tilottson, an easterner re-
turns from the west and South America
where he became tenderfoot naturalized,
arrives in New York and In love with a
millionaire beauty. Constance Livingstone,
at the same time Their marriage is OPP
posed by Constances brother Berthe, for
the snobbish reason that though Tillott-
osn is rich he isn't as rich as the Liv-
ingstones and doesn't belong to their
class
Elijah Tillottson accepts this challenge
for he loves Constance and, though he
hasn't any sympathy with her brothers
point of view he doesn't want her mar
riage to him to reflect on her or embar-
rass her.
He sets out to make fortune that will
stagger the multi millionaires of Wall
street and upper Fifth avenue. The one
thing he knows is coffee. He starts out
to corner coffee. A friend of his, who
would come from hell If I wired him."
brings his millions and the frenzied fnan-
cial game begins. He makes his corner
all right but when he gets 1t he discovers
that BERTHE Livingstone has been playing
the other side and has got cornered
and Is carrying to smash with him his
sisters fortune which he has stolen.
Exciting and realistic as are the scenes
attending the making of the corner, 1t
Is when Tillottson realizes the wreck no
has unconsciously made of his sweet
hearts fortune and decides to sacrifice
everything to save her, when he whips
out his guns and holds them to the head

WHAT MEN WANT TO KNOW
Resented by Woman Who Pro-
pounds a Few Questions
for Her Sex.

Men" she said, according to an ex-
change, ARE continually asking in the
newspapers the questions:
Why does a woman always want
to know if her hat is on straight?
Why does she sharpen pencils
with her husbands razor?'
Why will she ruin a $50 gown IN
a struggle to save two cents at a bar
gain counter?
Il think it is about time we women
should retaliate on the men with
some questions like these:
Why does a man when he finishes
with newspaper always throw it in
a heap on the floor, instead of folding
il up neatly?'
Why, when sent to look for some
thing in the bureau or closet, does he
always return and say 1t isn't there?'
Why. when a pretty girl praises
another mans looks. does he sneer
and say the girl is soft?'
Why is his Sunday morning head
ache always due to what he ate,
not to what he drank, on Saturday
night?'
Why, as he laughs at women. does
he fail to perceive that women find
much of the ludicrous in him?'"

KEOKUK BANK RUN STOPPED

Louis Inspired DepositOrs
With Confidence.

Ksokuk, "a, Nov. 26.-The run on
the State Central Savings bank stopped
almost entirely after arriva. of four
wagon loads of silver dollars from Chi
cago and ST. Louis. The wagons
backed up tc the door of the bank. A
half million dollars were carried into
the bank and LIED up in sight of the
people. The run was probably caused
by the report that the health of the
president of the bank was failing, the
report being spread among the depos-
itors.
