Before the largest Monday night
audience of the season Charles kilpat-
rick, the one-legged wonder, made hit
at the Hippodrome last night. He per
formed the stunt of skating successfully
on one leg and besides gave a clever ex-
hibition of trick bicycle riding which con-
cluded with some expert shooting with a
rifle breaking first one, then two and
then three clay pigeons with rifles while
riding on a bicycle.
Many people wondered how Fitzpatrick
would manage to skate on one foot. He
gets his momentum from crutches, but
afterwards lays them aside and performs
some clever stunts in skating. With his
crutches he performs acrobauc stunts Of
all kinds that are wonderful on account
of his crippled condition.
The bicycle riding included feats done
while the cycle was balanced on two
stools on a table in the center OF the
floor trick riding on the floor. some of
which would be exceedingly difficult for
a man with two legs and still harder on
account of the difficulty in balancing with
only the one leg. AS finale Fitzpatrick
does a little dance with his one foot and
crutches.
The applause was frequent and hearty
last night and the audience appreciated
his act Immensely. On Wednesday, Thurs
f. Greene, S. f. Thompson, DR.. f. p.
race w. w. Roberts, considered the fast
est skater in Birmingham, the former
riding bicycle. This has been a big fea-
ture at several other Kinks and promises
to draw large crowds here.

At the Biiou.

Lottie Williams, a talented comedienne
who is popular in Birmingham, began a.
weeks engagement at the Bijou theater
last night IN her vehicle of last year,
MY Iompoy Girl" The play is by
Charles b. Blaney and is typical of that
manager and playwrights productions If
is what may be termed comedy. with a.
melodramatic climax and musical special
ties. Inc story of the play deals with
the fortunes of street waif of New York,
who was diknaped in babyhood and is
discovered after years have passed. by
her uncle and taken back to her home in
kentucky The former waIf, Josie. en-
tiers on new life at Fury Hail." Her
newly found sister is abducted by a des-
perado named Black Jack, who masouer-
ades as a gentleman in the first part of
the play The girl is taken to the out
laws cave through the help of a Jealous
mulatto, the mistress of Black Jack. Jo-
sic follows the abductors to their liar and
disguised as Captain Charley, frees her
sister after some thrilling adventures. The
plot ends in peace and harmony.
MY Tomboy Girl is quite a good play
OF its kind 1t is full of comedy that is
49, AcANNu anu Allc CildTdcl61S are more
interesting than usual. The melodrama
parts, like most of Blaney's melodrama.
are rather exaggerated but the comedy
predominateS and there are number of
attractive musical numbers that are Civ
EN- with the assistance of a chorus The
company is well balanced as a whole Miss
Williams plays three widely divergent
roles with much success, introducing her
comedy in a breezy way that was well re-
celVed by the audience. She is clever as
tough girl. She also appears to adj
vantage in some of the musical special
ties. VIII III. Stevens as Col. Calvert gave
a smooth performance and VIII j. Ken
nedy as the German youth in love with
Josie showed himself first-class COM
ed1an. Mr.. kennedy's specialties won de-
served applause. l.. Lew Reed as the
"Sambo' of the play made the most of
his opportunities.
The play is well staged and put on in
a careful manner. No details have been
overlooked in the production. The strong
est scene shows the interior of the out
laws cave with river rushing by its
mouth. AT the climax OF this act a thrill
ing escape down the river takes place.
The four acts of the play are all well
mounted however, and some pleasing eff
fects are introduced.
My 1omboy Girl was seen here last
year, but 1t is exceptional entertainment
at popular prices and seems destined TO
increase its popularity this week.

New Gayety.

The Rose Hill Folly company returned
to the Gayety yesterday afternoon and
last ngiht fun of new features, some of
which are of a highly entertaining va
riety and more or less sensational
A new one-act French pantomime en-
titled THE Insult made quite an i'm
preston yesterday. 1t deals somewhat
with the unwritten law
The dance of the seven veils' is also
given this week at the Gayety and in an
entirely different manner from that in
which it was presented here before. There
is full stage setting and Herod is shown
on his throne in the rear. He calls for
Salome to dance and she dances before
him, then falls fainting in his arms. The
effects used in presenting the dance in
crease it from the spectators standpoint.
Little Blanche Newcome offers another
hit in her act full of new songs. She was
probably the most popular woman of the
season at the Gayety when here first and
she repeated her hit yesterday afternoon
with three or four songs. By request she
will sing He Walked Right In several
times this week.
John f. Cain as the new boy in his one
act comedy makes one of the best negro
characters of the season. He is original
and the comedy is full of clever things to
make the audience laugh. In addition to
these features there Is Ernie Van. the
soloist on the saxophone, and Mile. Be
atrce in the toe dance La Dance La
Rogue"
The two comedians, George w. Rice and
t. +. Thomas as Sweeney and Mooney,
the husbands on lark. make most of
the fun in the three act farce comedy
which, is the foundation of the show. They
have a couple of jealous wives and are
captured by their wives in all kinds of
scrapes.
The Gayety has two performances daily.

desprit and lace over Powered messaline
satin, with yellow girdles and wreaths of
yellow rosebuds in their hair. Their flow
ers We're white narcissus and ferns. The
maid of honor was Miss Mary Everett
Scott sister of the bride, who looked
radiant i'm her dainty gown of point
desprit over pink Powered messaline
satin. She is striking beauty of the
brunette type. the soft pink of her girdle
and the wealth of rosebuds which crown
ed her graceful patrician head, making
a pleasing note in harmony of the color
scheme. She carried shower bouquet of
sweet peas and ferns
The lovely bride entered on the arm
of her father and advanced to the altar,
where she was awaited by the groom at
tended by his brother, Mr. Frederick Leon
Joubert of New Orleans, as best man.
The brides gown was of ivory radium
silk, modelled on charmingly simple and
graceful lines, and adorned with hand en-
broidery lace and chiffon. She carried
shower bouquet of brides roses and white
violets, and the soft folds of her veil
completed her charming costume. This
fair daughter of Amherst never looked
more beautiful than she did on her we'd
ding night. The couple. surrounded by
their company of beautiful maids, formed
scene of which Virginia, justly famed
for beauty, might well have been proud.

MONUMENT TO MISS
MARY CATALAN.

Yesterday just one year ago the city
was filled with grief over the news Of
the death of this useful citizen. A wom-
an whose name will be handed down to
the children of Birmingham for all times.
Scarce a home in the city that has not
through some source come in contact with
her influence, and now that it has been
decided to erect a monument that will
serve to strengthen and give comfort to
the children, especially those of the Pow
ell school, there will be unanimous re-
joieing that a fount is to be placed in the
park to commemorate her memory, that
the statue will stand in the presence of
the children to and from school, and fur
nlsh the draught of clear water, her name
will be on all tongues; no stranger can
pause without inquiry. And the reply
forthcoming will point to memories of a
woman whose life was spent in unselhsh
usefulness to others.
