 Cyril Scott in "The Prince Chap."
 At last Birmingham is to have Cyril Scott in ''The Prince Chap" play that has delighted New York for the past two seasons and has made one of the most sterling hits in London recorded in many years. It will be presented at the Jeffer- son theatre next Friday and Saturday evenings and at the Saturday matinee.
 If one enjoys hearty laugh, if one is Interested in play that has for it's theme humanity that is really human, love that is pure, in fact play that has won applause perforee of its naturalness, 1t Is admitted by the big majority that MT. Peple's comedy drama is sure to please.
 An outline of the story can only barely convey the mingled dramatic and comic qualities of this piece. It concerns Will liam Peyton, young American sculptor, big-hearted fellow Ia sort of prince chap as he describes himself to the lit- tie girl who has been left to his care by model whom he has befriended, as he tells her of Princess Alice,' who is far away in America.

 The Greatest New York Stars company, which opens at the Gayety for the week commencing Monday, matinee. December ?, promises to be one of the record break CTS at this popular place of amusement. So great has been the success of this musical extravaganza and so well known is it's story, that it is almost unnecessary to repeat 1t. It has made millions laugh and during its theatrical life has given pleasure and unlimited amusement to the- .atre-goers. There is not a dull moment from the rise of the curtain until its final fall. and the performance not only scin- tillates with it's bright and clever com edy conceits and tuneful music, but 1t Is adorned as well with beautiful scenery and costumes that are glittering. This company has always been noticeable TOT its general excellence. This year 1t Will be better than it ever before was, and will include among it's personnel many well known artists.

 The SquaW Man."
 The attraction at the Jefferson tomor- row night will be ''The Squaw Man" Ed win Milton Royle has written drama in which there is much stirring incident and has mingled the tragic and the lighter shades of life in just the right artistic proportions. Liebler & Go. pre- sented this play an entire season at Wal lacks theatre in New York and it scored a most remarkable triumph both for the actor and the playwright
 Eastern theatre-goers have always been told that "Squaw Man" is a western production who occupies a cellar even in the wiids of western social scale Few playWrights would perhaps have chosen such a character for a hero, but Mr. Royle has done it and done 1t successful ", too His hero may be an outcast from society, but he is a man for all that, and such man indeed as will not lose pres tige even for a matinee idol like Mir. JeWett
 The story told by the play is full of enfopping interest. Its glimpses of En- giish country life in the first act Is fol- lowed by picture of western ranch life that Is both pleasing and natural. Its &C., ton IS spirited without being overdrawn. Mucn or It's incident is new and in theme and treatment it is far above most of the latter day successes.
 Lebler X Cos have given the play one of those superb productions for which they are noted. and both as to scenery and cast nothing has been omitted which will aid in carrying the play to success. The scene of the second act, a typical frontier saloon, freqnented by cowboys, where the desperado of the play attempts to kill the hero and is himself shot by the Indian girl who afterwards becomes the suuaw mans wife, is said to be the very best reproduction of western life that has yet been seen on the stage.

 There will be only one performance in Birmingham of "The Squaw Man
 Mantell in "Macbeth."
 Robert Mantell's appearance at the Jeff ferson Tuesday night as Macbeth" will prove one of the notable star events of the theatrical season here. MT. Mantell has long been an esteemed actor and now he is at the top of the list in Shake- sperean plays. Since he abandoned ms popular repertoire of romantic melodrama he has achieved notable triumphs m "Richard IT,, "King John," King Lear,'' Hamlet" Julius Caesar "Othello," Merchant of Venice, and "Richelleu." He Is conceded to be the greatest "Richard III'' on the stage with in the last 20 years.
 'Macbeth' is one of Mantell's s favorte plays and he has made the title role pe- culiarly his own. His Macbeth has had the place of honor in many of the larger cities. It was the opening bill In Brooklyn, the opening and closing bill in Buffalo and the opening bill in Chicago, where the tragedy was given five times in two weeks. And the closing, or Sat urday night bill, of tragedian In roper tore Is quite as important as the opening night.
 This does not mean that Macbeth" ex- ceeds in popularity all the other plays in the long Mantell repertoire, but 1t does mean that this star gives an opportunity of seeing the tragedy acted in an all- round manner that has not been offered the American public since Booth and Bar rett were co-stars 20 years ago. Thus there is splendid match for the Mantell Macbeth in Marie Booth RusselPs Lady Macbeth and first-rate actor for Me Duff in Francis McGinn, another for Ban- quo in Gordon Burby, a third for Nal colm in Guy Lindsley, and so throughout the long cast, down even to the small but important role of the porter. which is played in the Mantell performances by Walter Campbell.
 The tragedy has been mounted mag nificently by MT. Mantell. The scenes of the castle court, the banquet room, the camp at Torres, the witches heath. and the battlefield are all described as su- perb stage pictures.
 "The virgnian."
 The Kirke LaShelle's company's pro- duction of ",The Virginian." as drama tized from Owen Wister's wonderfully popular novel of the same name. will be presented at the Jefferson theatre Thurs day night, with w. s. Hart in the title role, assisted by a notable array of dramatic talent. This play is well known as an interesting romance of the western plains, one which takes hold of the sem abilities, charms the eye, thrills the emotions and presents a singularly truth ful picture of that section Its types are faithfully copied from the book and transferred to the stage without losing any of tho charm which created the enormous demand for Owen Wister's TO- nance Principally it is written about men. which is the rational proceeding in

Nat M. Wills.

tNdt Nis ttIIiSs
 Over the garden wall comes Happy Holmes. the tramp, in the latest musical production which serves admirably as g. starring vehicle for the favorite come dian. Nat M Wills, presenting "A Lucky Dog" at the Bijou all this week.
 The argument: One Herbert Dalton, avaricious and designing, has stolen a sacred ring. known as the Ring of Desire, from the finger of the Goddess Seva in a Buddist temple in India. He is pursued to America by the high priests eminis- sary, Lal Chunder, and two of his fol- lowers, who are bound by their faith to find the stolen ring, restore 1t to the god dess and punish the thief with an ever lasting plague
 The pretty Madeleine, a student in Fen wood Seminary, is in love with Victor Strong against her fathers wishes, and Herbert Dalton, upon discovering that Madelaine is an heiress, forthwith proceeds to make love to her. He offers her the stolen ring to seal the engagement, not knowing it's wishing propensities, but Madelaine angrily spurns him and hurls the ring away.
 Happy Holmes. the tramp (Nat M Wills). who has been watching this scene from behind nearby tree gets hit in the eye with the ring.
 From the moment he thus gains possess sion of the charmed ring his slightest wish is instantly granted, though he is unconscious of the fact that the ring is the cause of 1t all.
 The complications that arise are many, and the author, Mark F. Swan, has clev- erly devised mirth-provo situations following each other in rapid succession throughout the three acts of the play, while Nat Wills has not lost sight of a single opportunity to make a laugh by his witty interpretations of the part of the tramp.
 The production has been sumptuously staged and the well known cast of prin- cipals is backed by a score of pretty singing and dancing girls costumed in the latest creations of the best New York and Paris designers. The songs and en- semble numbers are bright and catchy, while the majestic march numbers are remarkably inspiring Many new electr- cal things have been devised which are calculated to entrance the spectator. Majestic Vaudeville. A bill said to be exceptionally strong < has been secured by the Interstate Amusement company for the Majestic theatre this week. The big feature will be the appearance of Harry Richard and his company of sunbeams in an operetta, and as a special added attraction the management has secured the three Keat- ons, who have been top liners at the Klaw & Erlanger advanced vaudeville ever since that firm embarked In the vaude- vile field. They were booked direct from the New York theatre in New York. Their appearance is only sample of other fine acts that have been booked from the Klaw X Erlanger forces. James H. Gull len, the monologist, will have an import ant part on the bill. and Walter Daniels will be seen in limitations of prominent stage characters Leo and Chapman are a duo in acrobatic eccentricities.

TO FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST.
Virginia and North Carolina Farmers
to Raise $4,000.

DANvILLE. Va. May 2.-Nearly a thou
sand farmers from all parts Of the tobacco
growing sections of Virginia and North
Carolina attended a general meeting of the
Mutual Protective Association of Bright
Tobacco Growers Of the two states here
yesterday. All farmers interested in the
working of the association were invited to
attend. The meeting was called primarily
now stored in the associations warehouse
here.
The warehouse was established about a
year ago as part Of the program to fight
the big tobacco trust The farmers pledge
themselves to place their tobacco in the
warehouse. where 1t Is kept in order and
held for private sale until price desig-
mated by a special committee is obtained.
This Is intended to do away with the pub
lie auction sales on the warehouse floors
which has been the method of disposing Of
tobacco practically ever since the weed was
first grown in this section. The farmers
warehouse has so far been operated with
as much success as could be expected, con-
sidering 1t Is In its infancy.
The most important step taken at yester-
tons to raise minimum fund of $4,000
and a maximum fund Of $4,000 for the
purpose Of making advances to farmers on
growing crops. About $4,000 of this amount
has been subscribed already by the dele
gates In attendance upon the meeting.
Several stirring speeches were made by
farmers. who were given great applause,
when the American Tobacco Company was
bitterly arraigned as being the cause of the
poor and almost impoverished condition of
the tobacco growers of today.

one respect, a good citizen. He does not
always do 1t with the single idea OF saving
rent; he sees his chance to become a land
owner on easy monthly payments and he
steps in and takes 1t. His future brightens
and new world opens up to him before he
has paid for his house. His Industrious
habits have insured him his situation as
long as he continues SO, and his frugal
manner of living has taught him to econo-

where he might relax a little. He soon
finds himself taxpayer and he breathes
