ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Sign of the Cross"

Wilson Barrett's powerful religious play
of Roman times was reproduced at the
Jefferson yesterday before two audiences
that were strongly moved by It, The play
creates deep rather than superficial feel
ing, and while there were not many re-
calls of the players. yet it was plain that
the play. as a whole, created an excellent
impression
1t is essentially a conflict, so far as
Marcus Superbus, project of Rome, is
concerned. between his love for Marcia,
a lovely young girl who is a Christian,
and his devotion to Nero, who has de-
creed the determination of all Christians,
men, women and children. In the last
act Marcus pleads before Nero and Pap
paea, Empress of Rome, for Marcias
life, and he is told that she shall be
spared from the wild beasts of the am
phitheatre if she will renounce her faith
He then appeals to her to do So She
will not. He then declares his love for
her. and they decide to die together as
the curtain comes down.
James Gordon as Marcus was at all
times impressive, and at times he rose
to the height of fine acting. He has the
magnetic quality of great actors, and as
he is still young man he promises to
become well known figure of the stage
, world. Madge Corcoran as the heroine
OF the play was graceful tender and
charming, and at times the audience came
to know that she was equal to all the
demands of the part. Harry Morton as
Nero did not appear until the third
act, and then he portrayed the part with
intelligence and with excellent art. A
, word. too, should be said of the acting
of Elizabeth Child as the wife of Nero
and Empress of Rome. She put the need
full dignity in the character, and her
enunciaton was almot, perfect. Bessie
Touer as "Ancaria" was vivacious and
| the singing of Katherine Naefz added to
the enjoyment of the audience.
The play is essentially tragic and emo
tional. 1t was beautifully set yesterday
the scenes being repeatedly changed, and
/ 1t is but just to say that, despite some
defects In the long list of players, it
deeply interested all who witnessed it and
left them better men and women by its
wholesome lessons of devotion and faith.

Heart ThYObs and Is Sore

upon to pay his men, Birmingham would
be charitable, and pay them for him. So
what under the sun makes the chubby
Dutchman angry?
Frank Is Staggered.
His next cause for complaint is that
Birmingham and Atlanta voted against
the transferenee of doubleheaders from
Shreveport and Little Rock to Memphis
and New Orleans. Birmingham and At
lanta realized that the sport was of more
real value to baseball than few shekels.
and they saw still further-that Frank
did not care a rap whether the Pirates
or the Travellers starved to death but
that he was interested in getting the lit
tie fellows into his spider web, and there
strangling them to death. Frank knows
that it is easier for New Orleans to win
games at home than anywhere else under
the sky.
Frank is a chronic grumbler, as every
one knows, and few people pay very much
attention to him. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that New Orleans has
every Sunday game save one during the
coming season. and that that one is
played in Memphis. On the other hand,
Memphis loses but one Sunday games
away from home and that is played in
New Orleans On the contrary, Birming-
ham Sunday schedule puts the Barons
in Shreveport more often than in either
New Orleans or Memphis.
Salve Does Not Work.
Frank grumbles, too, in spite of tho
fact that the Fourth of July games are
pooled for the benefit of the entire league.
This is true, in spite of the fact that
Memphis and New Orleans against Little
Rock and Shreveport play but one game,
and Atlanta and Birmingham against
Montgomery and Nashville, play double
headers. 1t is not necessary for Frank
and Memphis TO add to this pool the re-
ceipts of the following Sunday game.
No the receipts OF the game of the 9th
of July are added and everybody is
aware of the smallness of the attendance
on the day after the big holiday event.
Frank is a chronic grumbler. He Is
never satisfied. He has fed from the big
end of the leagues treasury for years
and years, and now because he realizes
that Atlanta and Birmingham are as
sorting themselves, he is sore at heart,
and waileth pitiably

successful. While both are eligible for
the scholarship. only one will be selected,
as at the last examination no one passed
and the second Students place went I'M
filed.
j. II. kirkpatrick of Montgomery was
the first Alabama student to win the
scholarship. and he will return this sum-
NOR. leaving AFFORD before his successor

bright and popular student. and is re-
eeiving congratulations ON the distinction
which he has so attained.

Monsieur Charlie Frank, the little fell

from their stirling grasp about the

New Orleans from the Atlanta meeting
and poured u tale forlorn into the ears of
his henchmen.

pigmies of the east. had such a stubborn
job in defeating Atlanta and Birmingham.
This sounds like Charlie, doesn't it?

Sitting the matter to the dregs, it is
discovered that Frank is exceedingly sore

to be robbed of the opening game. In
