 This week is to be made notable in the musical annals of Montgomery by a splendid production of Wasner's masterpiece ''Tannhauser.' sung by Henry w. savages company of 110 singers accompanied by an orchestra of 40 pieces.
 The engagement of this great coni- pany to sing in Montgomery Friday evening Is an achievement of which Sam and Arthur Hirscher, co-managers of the Montgomery Theatre are proud. The company is so large and the ex- pense is so great that few of the small CT cities are visited by MT. Savages Company. The fact that Montgomery is included in the itinerary and that the prices of seats here will be the same here as in the large cities shows that the Savage syndicate regards Mont gomery as a city that appreciates a meritorious musical organization.
 From the repertoire of the company 'sTannhauser was selected to be pro- 'eTannhauser" was selected to be pro- duced In Montgomery after a confer ence with local musicians and press notices received by the company in oth- Atk taAt hof ha al was fortunate.
 Inquiries are being received daily from wetumpka, Greenville, Union Springs, Prattville and other nearby cities concerning seats for the Tam hauser" engagement and the indica- tions are that the entertainment will be one of the most successful in the history of the theatre.
 In other respects the week will be notable. Two other splendid musical attractions are to play at the Mont gomery fheatre-"Glittering Gloria" and the Girl from Kay's." The fact that Dorothy Morton is the leading woman in "Giittering Gloria" makes its presentation of more than passing interest. She is dainty wo- man with a. voice that once charmed in grand opera. The production Is owned by Fisher and Ryley who gave us "Floradora." This ought to be sufficient recommendation. One cannot say too much for The Girl from Kay's' which was one of the big New York successes. It is one of the few musical comedies owned by Charles Frohman. Manager Neal of the Bijou theatre | will offer 'The Midnight Express ear ly in the week and Billy Krusands minstrel late in the week. This melodrama has caught on at the Bijou and The Midnight Express" claims to be about the best of tho highly seasoned variety. | If Kersands has as good a show as he delivered last year no one may com- plain. It was as good as the best last year.

everybody seems to have different theory about the singing voice. Most persons claim that 1t Is due to an acci- dental formation of the larnyx, but l assert that 1t Is & supreme thing given by a Supreme Being.
 Singing as an art is both easy and difficult It Is easy because you at- ways have but one tone at time. But 1t Is difficult because absolute purity of that tone Is required. The singer cannot hear herself. She can judge of her ability only by the effect she produces upon her hearers. The sculp- tor has his statues by which he can judge of his work; the musician hears his own playing; but the voice Is the most psychic and spiritual of things 1t is only sounds, and then 1t Is gone
 "A voice Is God-given; a singer is heaven-born. if the mentality is not there, no movement of throat muscles could ever make a real musical sound. If a singer were to lose her mind the tones of the voice would still be there, but there would be no rhyme or rythm in what she sings. Next to the natural voice, to be successful as a singer one must have brains. Without them, though the voice possesses every quail fication absolutely necessary to achieve success, the singer will reach only Q certain point and can go no further. To be truly great requires more than a beautiful voice. The singer must be so filled with the thoughts and the moods of the master that the voice receives a soul, and that soul penetrates into the hearts of her hearers and rouses their enthusiasm.
 ' After all. art is only interpretation, but one cannot interpret the great har- monies and melodies of the great com posers unless one Is master of the nat ural instrument That is why 1 insist that proper training Is of so great im- portance. The trouble with many sing CTS of the present day Is that they seek after effects. and endeavor to perform feats of technique and tempo, regard less of interpretation. The voice is not an orchestra and should not be strained to do impossible things. Each note, as 1t drops from the singers throat. should be a fine, as round and as fault less as a pearl"

World. TypewrItlnx Record.

Twenty thousand four hundred words in six hours is the worlds typewriting record. If this number of words were dictated it would be a remarkable feat to write them down with a typewriter in anything like six hours. Yet this record was made by an operator who read copy from closely written manu- script. and the operator was only twenty-one years old.
 The young woman who gained inter- national fame by this remarkable per- formance is Mary E. Pretty, a native of Philadelphia employed in the patent of- flee at Washington. It is said that her looks do not belle her name.

titudes of the unemployed. Nor has the question here to do with ultimate re- lief, such as Congress can provide by restricting immigration and scattering immigrants.
 The immediate question, then, is: What can be done with the great army of unemployed at once? This question eliminates the unwilling and unable whom we always have with us. giv ing only the able and willing-the hon. est idle-mostly unsk1lled labor, of course. How are we to give practical relief to these2"

Fifty Thousand Children Go Breakfast- Special to New Orleans Times-Demo-
 crat.
 New York-Commissioner General Sargent of the Bureau of Immigration has received at Washington letter from a prominent New York Philan- thropist, whose name he can not dis close. in which a startling portrait of the poverty in the metropolis is giv- en. The letter says New Yorks DOT tIon of the unemployed is the largest in the country: that 100000 idle men are in the city now. or 40 per cent more than last year.
 Fifty thousand children go to school breakfastless, which means idle fath- era" the letter declares. So over whelmed is the Department of Chari- ties that tens of thousands of applica- tions from men out of work, that 1t finds itself unable to cope with the situation. In short. the metropolis this winter is facing a problem with regard to the unemployed such as has never been known in past years.

"The Girl from Kar,a.

The musical play is apparently the dominant feature of the hour If the dramatist has brilliant idea, if the musician has a portfolio bursting with catchy tunes. if the writer of lyrics is overburdened with rhymes and novel meters, if the manager has visions of a speedily made future, the outcome is almost certain to be q dramatic niece in which music and comedy hold equal share.
 The past theatrical generation has been prolific in plays of this kind. and The Girl From Rays" which is at the Montgomery theatre Saturday night is therefore but one of huge theatrical family which can trace an unknown line of descent from the almost pre- historic ages of '"The Beggar's Opera" :" and thousand other pieces which have helped to enliven the twentieth centu- ry stage.
 'sThe Girl From Rays" comes here with the prestige of having scored A years run in London and New York respectively. There are over 60 peo- pie in the cast and chorus, accompan- jed by couple of carloads of gorgeous scenery and sumptuous costumes. 1t has been capitally cast and handsomely mounted in> the way of scenery ana costumes by the two master managers Charles Frohman and George Ed wardes.
 The company is one of the biggest that will have been seen here and has for its leading players the famous Jack Bernard and Clara Palmer; others are Caroline Gordon, Ray AtwelI, Lily I.orrel, W. F. Constantine, JosephInH Sheppard, William Rochester, Cathe- rine Call. Benjamin Howard and sixty others.
 The production is to be shown here with a cast and chorus of eighty, and two carloads of scenic appointments.
 The costumes are all novelties from the famous establishment of Mrs. Rob- ert Osborn in New York, and they may be said to illustrate in an animated way. the gorgeous gowns that the 400 the world over art wearing this sea- son
 The engagement here is but for one night and matinee and the curtain is going to be rung up at 8 o'clock pre- cIseIv. to enable the management to present the big show in it's entirely.
