East Lake Casino.

The wills Comedy company will begin weeks engagement to morrow nlght es the East Lake Casino, presenting Tn Atlantic City" sprightly musical farce. There will be the usual matinees.
 Press notices speak very highly or the Wills company and all indications point to a week of first class entertainment for Birmingham theatregoers. The company has recently been playing in a number of cities along the Wells circuit and has met wltn a cordial reception.
 The action of Tn Atlantic City takes place in the famous summer resort or New Jersey and is amusing in the ex- treme The presence of a pork packer from the west who is not conversant with the usages of polite society and his lively son creates much hearty laughter, while pretty girls and pleasing song numbers lend the piece attractiveness A feature will be the ever popular sextette song, and there will be a number of clever sparkling specialties introduced.
 The costumes and scenic accessories will be correct. The art of the scenery painter has been employed to portray life at Atlantic City and the Wills company adds the proper amount of animation
 Seats are on sale at Burnetts cigar store, corner First avenue and Twentieth street.

drilled wells for the Japanese government and has drilled wells for the Standard oil in Japan. He has been all over the world, this driller. He knows the size of pipe the size of the casing and the cost of the well in every oil field in the world.
 Then there is "Bill' Myers He is some times called Windy Bill" He has manu- factured powder for the United States fleet in the Mediterranean to salute Pres ident Loubet of France, and he has done other things of note. He has certificates of honor from the Khedive of Egypt-he drilled some oil wells for the Standard Oil company in that country and got into trouble thereby-and he is also officer of a lodge of honor of the Sultan of Morocco.
 Bill" Allen is another of the globe trotters. He has been in Mexico and in India. He can give you the formation of the wells in Upper Burma or the wells in Chelsea, O. T., with equal faciI- ity. And it is all one to him where he is so long as he is putting down the holes.
 Dick" Fowler is another He has been all through the Pennsylvania fields and the West Virginia fields and the Ohio and Indian fields and he can spin yarns by the hour. He knows how the glycerin man at Bradford was blown up and how the other glycerin man escaped, how the springs of one of the gycern wagons were located under the can and how the other fellow had his springs three inches to the right and thus saved his life
 Hugh Brawley has been with the oil companies in Pennsylvania. Texas and Kansas for more than ten years. Now he Is in the gas business, but he has been around the world in the oil business.
 John T. Gaffey is another one of the globe trotters In the oil business He has been in the kyack fields in Alaska, in the Beaumont fields, in the Louisiana fields, in the Mexican fields and now he has made fortune in California and re- tlred-temporarily. No man who has ever got the fever in his bones retires from the oil business permanently.
 There Is also M. l.. Lockwood--his real name Is Marquis Lafayette who has done all the oil fields and is now in Kan sas. He is an old man as years go, gray headed and with a son old enough to vote two or three times and yet he is still following the flag of adventure. still after the pot of gold which grows at the rainbows foot"
 It goes that way in the oil business.

Go to Penn sylvania, to Texas, to California, to Japan or to any other place where there are oil wells and you will find the same faces, you will hear the same talk of working barrels" pulling rods and all that sort of thing

He needs no more of this worlds goods, He has an independent fortune. Yet if an oil field should be discovered tomorrow in Ram chatka, off in the snow and ice John H. Galley would be one of the first men on hand, and he would have the second or third derrick erected in the field
 John Markham is another of the soldiers of fortune. He toiled and sweated in the swamps of Louisiana and Texas drilled unprofitable holes, spent his money and came to Kansas Then he went to the territory. Before that he had been all over the world And he knows things. He knows what the East Indians drink in Rangoon to quench their thirst. He knows how they live in the temperature of l2O degrees is the shade, and he knows other things which have helped him to success in this country.

 Disclaiming responsibility for the fu- ture of his irrepressible patient, the phy- sician left the house. Carle sent to the Chicago Athletic club for his masseur and took heroic treatment. The masseur, Jean Rogesi, who is a giant, threw the comedian Into q tub of hot water; then into cold. He beat the actor, immediately after. with the palms of his hands The masseur did not pat but swung on the fatigued man with the flats of his big hands and the weight of his heavy arms and shoulders.
 At o'clock a. m Carle was sleeping soundly, with color in his cheeks, albeit they were bit drawn Nine hours later he was on the stage of the Studebaker theatre doing a difficult dance.
 One night last week MT. and Mrs. Carle left a downtown restaurant with a party of friends after enjoying an after-theatre supper. There was every evidence of prosperity in the cut of the comedian s fashionable clothes as he and his guests entered an automobile and whirled up the street.
 "Carle's a lucky dog" remarked an idle actor who WAS standing near by. T knew him when he didn't have a dime"
 Lucky dog. There would be more lucky dogs on the stage-and more dimes-if all actors applied themselves with as much industrious sincerity as that Carle."

The Good Old Times.

Henry Watterson in the Louisville Cour-
 ier-Journal.
 I take no stock in the lamertation of the sentimentalists about what they call "the good old times" There is deal of stuff and nonsense trolled off on this text Every man over fifty who is not precisely a boor Is described as "a gentleman of the old school We need but turn to the English satirists from Fielding to Thackeray to learn that all the esential ingredients of Vantay Fair had their existence one or two hundreds years ago. In the proportion that there were more nature and coarser fibre there were livelier doings. In proportion that there were fewer dramatis personae upon the stage there was better play for the individual. I confess that I like little blood in mine. Sincerity even in wicked ness has a flavor quite its own. But he who fails to see the world as it is and re- fuses to take it as he finds it fails in- evtably betwixst the three-legged stool of very false philosophy and the high backed chair ofAa very ill-judged perver- sty, with consequences sometimes seri- ous and always hunailiating.

"The Woman In the Case"

One of the chief factors that contrib uted to the sensational success of ''The Woman in the Case" in New York and was largely responsible for it's four months run at the Herald Square theatre is the attraction it possesses for the wo- men playgoers. The story is that of a battle between two women for the life of an innocent man accused of murder. n story of womans love, loyalty and faith on the one side, and of woman's perfidy on the other The dramatic background of the play shows that the author, Clyde Fitch, must have got much of his inspi- ration from the sensational criminal trials of recent years in which women have been the central figure. The play is to be seen here early in the season and the fame which has preceded it will insure a crowded house

 w several al fresco performances of 'The sheperd King" This successful romantic Biblical drama Is of such char acter that it can be produced with sin Kulsr charm out of doors, although at a considerable expense. MT. borimer's manager. William A. Brady, has already entered into negotiations with parties in New York, Rochester, Buffalo and Toron- tc. looking toward the production of ''Fhe shsperd King on the grounds of some of the lsading citizens of those cities. In Rochester the play will probably be given or one of the lawns of MT. s. H.

 Seats for these performances will be so.d only by subscription and limited to five hundred in number. Some of the most prominent men and women in the country have requested MT.

STEELE SMITH, 1925 Second Ave.

You meet man at Nagasaki, you meet the same man at Half-Moon Bay, you meet the same man at Santa Maria, and then again you meet him on the road to Mandalay." Young and old, freshman and postgraduate, saint and sinner, all the oil men follow the same road and wind up at the same place at last.
 They all hope some time or other, some where in the game of life, to make a play against the Standard Most of them are to polite to admit it, but that is the hope which inspires them to climb the mountains and go down into the sea looking for oil, always looking for oil and always looking for oil where the Standard oil company can't get it. They think and dream of oil in places where the curb is on a monopoly. where they will get "a run for their money" It is the pathetic side of the oil business, this thing of men of years wandering over the earth searching for place where the mailed hand cannot reach. They have not found it yet.
