"The Shepard King"

Wright Lorimer, on Thanksgiving after noon. continuing on Friday and Saturday. December and 2. will begin short en- gagement at the Jefferson theatre tomor- row afternoon In his splendid production of "rhe Shepherd King The engagement in other cities of this young star has been a succession of crowded houses and his fame has spread through the country. un- til he is recognized by expert judges of theatrieals to be one of the most success fnl stars from an artistic and box of flee standpoint, now before the public.
 In making "The Shepherd King possi- hle MT. Lorimer has constructed from the Old Testament literature. rich in romance, imagery. sentiment and poetry, a play which appeals successfully to all classes of people. Those who ordinarily regard the theatre as a place to be avoided have become convinced that this play, aside from pleasing, Is a most valuable educa- = tor and Is effective in teaching Biblical history On the contrary regular patrons of the theatre see in "The Sheperd King a romantic drama of absorbing interest, mounted as a play has seldom been mounted before and acted in manner pleasing to the severe critic.
 The company will number upwards of 150 people and will include Carl Eckstrom, Ethelbert Hales, Mark Price, Harry Keenan. O'Kane Hills, George Heath, Helen Holmes Nellette Reed, Margaret Hayward and Marian Ward.

 fly to Sign Men.

Manager Harry Vaughan of the Bir- minghanl baseball club left last evening for Cincinnati. where he will spend the holidays. Before boarding the train for his Ohio home the leader of the Coal Barons said:
 T will return to Birmingham shortly after the holidays. If not before. There are several important matters which I desire tf@ see settled before the season opeRss am certain that Birmingham then will he ready for all competitors.
 As might be expected. I will have several new men on the team. I have drafted oyIer. the Savannah shortstop, who proved star for two seasons in the South Atlantic league. From what I have heard of the youngster he will make good here. He is a fast infielder, one who takes all kinds of chances and does not care for an error
 Such men win ball games. Besides be- ing fast fielder, Oyler is said to be a good man on the bases and a fair hitter.
 The early opening of the season will demand my early presence earlier than usual. We will have a number of ex- hibition games, and 1t is certain that Clark Griffith and his American League team will train here. Several battles will be played with the Hghlanders before their departure and of course other Amer ican and National league teams will play here during the preliminary season.
 What do l think of the prospects for a successful season? The question Is not la .d I haIf faxyo tr-it1 h q man like Judge Kavanaugh at the head of the league that everything will be operated on a high business plane and that no favorites will be played.
 New Men Needed.
 The fact that new men are needed to secure a winning team for next sea- son is well known If I can play I will guard first base, but I cannot say that my injured limb will be in condition. I am trying to secure a good first base man to guard against accidents I need two outfelders and will have them, as I will also other players. l have full swing in the management of the team and have been instructed to go out and get winner, though by all means, to
 
 will do. Birmingham is one of the best, if not the best ball town in the league, everything considered. Therefore. the city deserves a winner and I will do my best to secure team that will be among the leaders at all times. I am not claiming a pennant winner" Manager Vaughan did not give the in- | formation, but if a well known mana I ger of last year is a member of the Birmingham team next season, no sur prise need be occasioned. He has not signed with team for 1908 and is not making an effort to do so. He wants to retire from the game and go in bus i mess, but if he does not he has given his word to Manager Vaughan that he will play with Birmingham. The man referred to is an excellent hitter. good base runner. a general and above all. an educated man. who can manage tempo rarily any time Vaughan should need him.

Bigelow. All of them are capi- tai comedians, but she easily carried off the honors of the evening. The crowd was loath to see her leave the stage and encores were demanded vociferously.

Charitable Institutions.

It is tho intention of the charitable organiza- tons to reach the poor people and dis tribute provisions enough to supply a nice dinner, and with the assistance of the public this can be easily accomplished.
 The Mercy Home will keep open house all day and will receive donations of money. food or clothing, and the Boys Industrial school will observe a general holiday.

Wright Lori mer in the Shepherd King" will be the attraction at the Jefferson and Dan Ryan will hold the boards at the Bijou From present indications one of the largest crowds of the season will witness the foot ball game as the interest in the contest is intense. The result is very much in doubt and both clubs have a large num- Der of packers. The weather prediction for the day is that It will be cold and this will make 1t ideal for the football game.
