SUES FOR $25,OOO
NEGRO SEEKS TO RECOVER FROM
 RAILROAD.
John A. Davis Who Was Injured i'm Collision Asks Money From Cen-
 tral--Other News of Courts.

A suit against the Central Railway oe Georgia for s25.OOO was filed yesterday by John A. Davis in the City Court of Montgomery.
 Davis alleges that he was injured at a railroad crossing in North Montgom- cry on November 20, 1905. through the negligence of the Central Railway. He was then employed by the Seaboard Ar Line and was on an engine of the Sea board at the time the accident occur red. He alleges that atthe place where the Seaboard and the Central tracks cross, and at about o'clock in the evening, the Seaboard engine was struck by a train of freight cars and he, Davis, was severely injured causing him physical pain and mental anguish and necessitating surgical aid.
 Davis ayers that the Central train failed to comply with the law which requires a train to come to full stop within 100 feet of a crossing. He, therefore, attributes negligence and careIesness on the part of the employees of the Central Railway.
 The case will be tried at the next term of the civil division of the City Court.

the new musical comedy in which Yorke
 & Adams will make their stellar bow
 at the Montgomery Theatre. Wednesday
 matinee and night" and just at this time of scething finance" is an ap- propriate and catchy title.
 If is said to be one of the great hits of the 1augh-makng plays and seems to be produced on exceptionally good principles. namely: Nothing prettter
 than pretty girl nothing sweeter than sweet song, nothing more graceful than a graceful dance," for all these features have received special atten- tion. Mirth and music holds full sway and the company contains many merry makers of reputation and popularity. The many musical numbers and spe- cialties introduced are entirely compat- ible to the performance. and the action and go" of the piece is said to be at
 all times rapid and artistic.
 Besides those inimitable comedians,
 Yorke and Adams, the company con tains among its fun-makers James J Collins, Bert Thayer, Rita Redmond, Anna Wilkes, Mamie Lafferty, Eddie Barto, Floyd Buckley and others. Pictorially. the production is claimed
 to surpass all in variety of pretty
 dresses and the beauty of the two stage ! settings depicting a typical Wall Street brokerage office and the Casino grounds at Palm Beach, Florida.

~The schoolgiri, Thursday.

A notable theatrical attraction VIII be offered at the Montgomery Theatre
 Thursday matinee and night, when
 "The School Girr' will be seen for the first time on the local stage.
 As Is generally known. The School Girl' was one of the few musical sue
 cesses of last year in New York and
 London, and 1t is said the entire orig
 inal production will be preeented here
 just as 1t was presented In those cap itals.
 Leslie Stuart, the composer of The
 School Girl" is we'll known for the
 charm of his music in "Florodora, while Paul M. Potter and Henry Ham, ilton have Sollaborated on u book that is more than usually bright and full
 of interest. "The School Girl' does not
 come as an experiment. It has now been running for three years, and comes here for the first time with the stamp of approval of the innumerable 1 thousands who have enjoyed the pro- l duction. The scenery of ''The School Girl" is very picturesque, the costumes were | furnished by London's most exclusive | milliners, the company includes fore
 most players from several countries, | and deep interest is centered in the romance of a convent girl, who runs I away from school to seek the lover of her schoolmate chum, only to find her self in the bustling stock exchange in l Paris, where she not only succeeds in l locating her friends fiance, but also 1 puts an end to the fascally operations | of a stock broker and saves her father | from a heavy pecuniary loss. There is not a dull moment in the three scenes of the production, and l there is an absolute absence of coarse
 ness throughout the play, daintiness
 being the keynote. There are more
 than a score of musical selections,
 many of which have become immense ly popular wherever heard. Chief | among them are My Little Canoe, , Call Round Again" Simpler" All | For You" Sweet San-o-od." Little
 Girl" My Cozy Corner Girl" and | others.
 The company includes Carrie Rey-
 holds, Helena Byrne and trio of in- ternational comedians, Robert Whyte, | Arthur Woolley, Barrie Maxwell and a
 bevy of pretty chorus girls.
 we'll known writer for The New York Herald, after witnessing a per l formance of the new opera, said, The | story is pretty, the dialogue Is witty,
 the music bright and pleasing, the in
 cidents very amusing and the scenery l extraordinarily picturesque" This writer only used feur lines to voice
 his sentiments regarding The School
 Girl" but in these four lines are vol | umes.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-01-14

high-class company has ever inter preted in this city. Last night, at the Empire Theatre. Captain Robert Mar shalfs comedy, "The Duke of Killfcran- kie" had its first American presenta- tlon. It was the only play in London that scored an undiluted success over there, though, if had not seen it my self in the English metropolis, shouldn't harp on the fact. Genuine wit Is not a local commodity-it Is universal And The Duke of Killicran- kie' speaks fin that language. It IS a high comedy, delicate. unsubstantial, breezy, diaphanous The man who can not enjoy 1t is lacking in an essential sense. He is to be pitied, not blam- ed. Captain Marshall is not famous Tor plots-merely ideas--but he can serve up a gorgeous idea in an original and brilliant fashion, and he can eke 1t out with dialogue that warns the very cookies of ones heart.
 'oThe story of The Duke if Killicran- kie' is slight, but simply charming. The Duke in the play is young man with a castle in the Highlands, who IS in love with Henrietta Addison, a pret- ty maiden addicted to deferring things He determines to abduct her.. there Is nothing else. She likes persistence, ano is inclined to regard him as namby- pamby. So he puts up job (which expression sounds odious for such a dainty. English play) and he abducts her. He lures her to his castle. So that 1t should be quite proper-you un- derstand-he includes a comedy friend and a comedy widow in love with one another-to play the propriety. The auartette in the castle. the hilarious situations, the comedy gradually in- yesting itself with pathos, the inevita- ble growth of the girls love, the pretty ruse which he discovers it-an this IS food for an epicure. It Is the daintlest repast one could wish for. And talking of dainty repasts, that meal in the Highland castle. with the two women at loggerheads, and the two men hope less, is quite killing. It is the very refinement of comedy, it Is the real thing.
 
 Miss Rose Coghlan Is in luck. She has a role that just fits her, that hts her even better than 1t fitted Miss Ma rie Ellington, who set London taking. Miss Coghlan is not lacking, she never lacks Her performance is delightful throughout. The same may be said or her leading man, MT. Lynn Pratt who plays the Duke, the part in which youn e Graham Brown appeared in so success fully in London. In all, Miss Coghlan has surrounded herself with a capital cast"
 The story of the Ninety and Nine" which will play three nights at the Biiou Family Theatre commencing Thursday night while not a new one to stagedom, has been treated so cleverly by the author, Ramsey Morris. that It has developed into a stage offering Of more than usual merit.

Pastor Id LampIighteI

Rev William H. Murray. pastor of ths Universalist Church in Solthold. l.. l., has been chosen to act as lamplighter in that place and entered upon the performance of his duties. Mir. Murray will be called upon to walk over twelve miles nightly in the course of his rounds. He frankly owns that the salary of $25 per month is one of the reasons why he sought the place, the other being that he needs the incidental exercise.

It would seem from a glance at the offerings at Montgomery play houses for this week that our theatrical man agers are giving us more good enter
 tainments than we will be able to pa
 tronize. Surely seven good companies playing every night in the week. with
 two theatres open and a total of four
 matinees, is too much for Montgomery, and theatre-goers will be surfeited be-
 fore the week is over.
 These fat bookings merely go to show
 how Montgomery has progressed as a
 theatre-going community, but is it not
 possible to overleap good thing? The
 real fact Is that the Eastern producers
 have realized that the South is pros-
 pering as it never prospered before
 and all of them are eager to crowd their enterprises into this section to gather in some of the good money derived from 11-cent cot on.
 Hirscher Brothers, managers of the Montgomery Theatre, have good reason | to feel proud of their season. Not withstanding they lost some of their best contracts owing to the yellow | fever scare and got a late start on the i season, they have already given us | more attractions and better attractions | than we ever had before. One fact alone that will make the season notable was the achievement of securing Mir
 Mansfield with his wonderful production | of Don Carlos" when no other city in Alabama was able to induce the great | actor to play there.
 Manager Neal of the Bijou Theatre has been successful, too, in improving l the condition of his house and in se- | curing a better line of entertainments I than heretofore. It Is promised thai when Jake Wells builds theatre ir I Mobile to alternate with the Bijou that | the Bibb Street house will be mad' | even more popular The Mobile house will be ready by the beginning of an l othen season.

MLittIe Johnny Jonen.r


 Little Johnny Jones'" which is one of the most famous of musical shows, will be presented at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night when theatre goers will have an opportunity of wit messing one of the most complete pro- auctions, and one of the most success fuI musical plays that has been pre- sented for many years
 Little Johnny Jones" comes with the endorsement of all the leading cities, while the metropolitan press has been more than enthusiastic in pronouncing it an original and entertaining perfor- nance New York crowded the theatre for twenty-two weeks last season, Bos- ton for several weeks. Philadelphia four weeks, while in Chicago Little Johnny Jones" scored the remarkable run of over three months.
 Ii is promised that when Little Johnny Jones" is seen in this city it will have the same production in every detail and the same gorgeous wardrobe that made its engagement in the prln- cipal cities notable last year. The com pany numbers over sixty people, while the cast is made up of many stage favorites.
 Little Johnny Jones" is described as a musical melodrama, and in concise | and interesting manner, tells the for tunes and adventures of an American l jockey who goes to England to win fame and dollars upon the English | turf.
 The play is the product of George M, Cohan, who is the author of both lines and music. Mr. Conan has has written several great successes, the most no- table being The Governors Son" and Running for Office" but in Little Johnny Jones" he is said to have SCOT cd his greatest triumph and to have given to the stage a musical produc- | tion which for originality in construc- ton and for the delightfulness of it's music easily surpasses any like attempt | The tuneful melody of all of Mir. Co- hans musical numbers Is one of the chief charms of Little Johnny Jones' and for over a year past they have been familiar to nearly al of our music lov- | CTS.
 It is said that no production has been more lavishly staged than Little Johnny Jones'" The three acts repre- senting stage pictures which for mas siveness and realism have seldom been | equaled.

"sMeet Clover. Monday.

One of the most pronounced successes of the past dramatic season was the production of the four act comedy drama, Sweet, Clover" It is again meeting with success this season, for people who witnessed ie before are ap- preciating it even better and discover ing new beauties in the presentation.
 It is one of those plays that will live for more than one season, for it is a clean. healthy play and decidely in- teresting. Sweet Glover" is full of heart interest. rich in comedy and possesses strong dramatic scenes. It tells a pretty and strong story and in a simple direct manner; its odor is that of the clover fields and the fireside, and certainly those who enjoy heart reaching stories in dramatic form can not afford to miss seeing it.
 The cast is headed by Otis B. Thayer.
 To preserve the atmosphere, special scenery Is carried for every act, to- gether with some handsome costuming, quaint old furniture and appropriate lighting effects.
 sweet Clover" will be presented at the Montgomery Theatre Monday night.

An AlaD0mA tTirl aB Afnn-a-0akes
 Musical entertainments have the first call at the Montgomery Theatre this week. We are to have Little Johnny Jones'" George Cohan's unique musical melodrama; Bankers and Brokers" a big comedy musical production; The School Girl" which is really notable musical entertainment, and Robin Hood" in rapid-fire succession. In De Koven's great opera we are to see Ethel Houston as Alan dale. Miss Houston is a Birmingham girl, who is happily remembered as a choir-singer with a rich contralto voice. Ten years ago she was social favorite in Ala bama and she has been successful in opera productions since that time.
 Much interest will be centered in Duke of Killicrankie." John Drew's great comedy. written by Captain Mar shall. Whatever Miss Coghlan does is done well and although she comes at the end of a heavy week of amusements she will no doubt receive the cordial welcome that is invariably hers in Montgomery.
 Again. we are to have on the open ing night of the week that dainty comedy drama, Sweet Clover" which has charmed us In the past. Otis Thayer, who was with Adelaide Thurs ton in this piece several seasons Is the star of the company, and it is said to be finished and artistic entertain ment.
 For the last half of the week the Bijou offers The Ninety and Nine" a sensational but coherent melodrama, which had a long run at New York's Academy of Music. Its great scene introduces a full-sized locomotive run ming at full speed. said to be one of the most realistic scenes ever introduced on a stage.
