"The Lion and the Mouse. ;

At the Jefferson tomorrow night and Tuesday night Birmingham theatre-goer will again have t'e Qppu tun1tv O. vii messing Charles Aien's play nf coatcm- porary life "Tne Lion and the Maese." When the play was presented at the Jef ferson last winter it gained general favor. Discriminating judges of dramatic art were almost much impressed With the elegant manner of it's production by Henry B. Harris as with the play itself.
 For several weeks the story of the drama has been running serially in sev- eral newspapers. and therefore has be- come familiar with many casual theatre goers. The theme of "'rhe Lion and the Mouse" deals with the financial kings of America. The principal character is John Burkett Ryder. in whom play goers will recognize a well-knowu American. famous as the richest man in the world. and very much in the public eye at the present time. But the story of the great fight between this money king and his poiti- cal opponents is subservient To the love interest which is the dominating feature throughout the drama, reaching it's cli- max at the close of the powerful third act, wherein a mere girl enters the pri- Vate library of John BurlSett Ryder and after stormy scene denounces the money king and gains for her father -a supreme court justice, complete vindica- tlOn. IL IS lne cfucial scene oi the play and has been conceded to be one of the most stimulating pieces of acting ever 1ncorpora ted in a present day drama.
 For the engagement MT. Harris will present the same organization that was seen at the Illinois theatre, Chicago; the Park theatre, Boston, and for six weeks al the Chestnut Street opera house. Phil adelphia The leading roles will be DOT trayed by Marie Shotwell and Oliver poud Byron

The bill at the Majestic theatre this week has many attractive features Caron and Farnum. James r. McDon- ald Marion and Pearl, Charles De Gamo,
 Esmeralda and Coletta, Power and company.
 Caron and Farnum, are great Amer ican comedy acrobats. They are just
 back from successful engagement at the London Hippodrome and the
 Folies Marigny in Paris, where they were distinct features of the summer season at the French and English cap itals. They are the originators of q number of new acrobatic novelties. in cluding difficult and spectacular hoop jumping. One of the duo appears as the tough" boy and his partner is a mice" little fellow. The maneuvers of the latter in teaching his friend some acrobatic stunts is very eomieal but when he is thoroughly educated, the couple do some marvellous work. One of their successful acts is balancing each other back to back
 Coletta Power x GO. comes direct from the Keith circuit and will present a high class comedy sketch. The play let is attractivelS staged with th cir own scenery. The three members of the company keep the audience laugh -
 ing from the word Ego" and when Pow CT reels around the stage in his drunk
 stunt, indulging in some breaknecll
 lapses of consciousness, roar always
 follows. The theme of the sketch
 shows the entanglements of poet wh o is in love and the difficulties that fol- low when he misdrects d letter. The reporter is played by r. A. Livingston, and shows some of the inside life of a newsgatherer for metropolitan paper
 James F. Mcdonald is considered one of the most versatile men on the vau- deville stage. He is a monologuist of the refined type and his witticisms and ! jokes strike direct to the point with | out any ral1ing of the brain to under stand just what he means. In addi- ton to this he is gifted with sweet voice and will be heard in several Vo- cal selections. MT. Mcdonald comes direct to the Majestic theatre after a successful tour of the eastern cities. Mile Esmeralda is known as the queen of the Nylophone. There Is ln all probability no musical instrument that is so difficult as the Xylophone and Mile Esmeralda is reputed to be without equal as q performer on this instrument. Her selections include a few classics and some popular ditties. Charles De Camo will exhibit some wonderful work in animal training through his pet fox terrier, Cora Questions of different nature are speed fly replied 10 in dog language. One oi the features is the singing of a duet by the dog and it's master, This is an act that should appeal strongly to the little folks.
 Marion and Pearl q team of young men, are talking acrobatic comedians with original gymnastic features. Tn ey go through some difficult flying ail hips and high kicking.

Bedford's Hone"

One of the most important productions in New York last season was Bedford s Hope" under the management of Stair x Havlin. It will be presented at the Biiou all this week.
 The play will serve to introduce what is claimed to be the greatest scenic effect in the history of the stage. The following from the New York Telegraph speaks in the highest terms of Lincoln J. Carter s effort:
 Two Carters made their bow in the Fourteenth Street theatre last night-Les- lie and Lincoln If Leslie received as en- 1husiastic aL greeting as Lincoln. her ears are ringing yet. Leslie depended upon d half bushel of red hair and David Belas- co production for success; Lincoln, in his modest way. asked only for q spectacular race between an automobile and train of cars.
 Carters hope Bedfords S Hope'-it is called on the programme, sacrifices two acts to convincing the human mind that a panorama of trees mountains and tele- graph poles is drama. An audience that filled the Fourteenth Street theatre to the verge of discomfort was in a receptive mood and when Lincoln J. Carter trotted out his motor car and his train and said; This is the real thing they arose as a man and coneurred.
 For an effect, the race through the bad lands between steam car and the gasoline
  scene in The County fair, and snrpasses the dash of the locomotive in The Ninety and Nine It is doubtful if MT. Carter hoped for more In a speech before tie curtain he said that he had worked year on the mechanism and that the happy re- suits left him too fun of tears for ut terance.
 MT. Carter's play the part that feeds the steam-gasoline contest is good melo- drama of it's class. It is Q reflection of the western plays that are finding favor on Broadway just now. with a sugges- ton of something the others left out.
 Certainly it is not lacking in ac- ton, and yet there is an absence of the stilted speeches that are food and drink to the gallery gods. There is no 'unhand me, villain, and no lay finger on yon maiden's head and I will shoot you as l would a dog One of the vrtuons Mon tana citizens did thunder at one of the bad young men: If you pull that trig- ger, Hooker will not have a son. This was significant considering that the youth behind the trigger was Hooker, Jr. Then there was an occasional fumblng for the papers and brace of villains. But the papers were merely incidental, and the villains did not wear black mous- taches and smoke cigarettes oyer the prostrate forms of their victims.
 The story related to lucky strike in the old Pard mine in Montana. Bedford. in financial straits. has just given tI villain an order to sell his stock in this mine for 10 cents a share when the news of the strike reaches him. He tries to countermand the or6er by telephone

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP.

Unusual Interest Is being manifested in the coming presentation of Puccini's $ Japanese grand opera, Madam Butter ny" by Henry W. Savage's English Grand Opera company at the Jefferson on New Years Day. Society and music circles are both looking forward to this even as the one rare attraction of the season Even the success of the work abroad has been eclipsed by the wonder ful triumph of MT. Savages s company in this country Mail orders from outside points are already pouring In and lndl- cations point to fattering reception for the artists when the Japanese curtain rises on the. first act of Puceinis master piece in Birmingham. It is exceptional that a World-success comes to this coun- try so soon after it's continental sensa- tion and stil more rare for such treat to be taken on tour while New York is still singing it's praises. Manager Saw age is perhaps the only impressarlo who would undertake such hazardous eXperl- ment but in the case Of Madam But terfv" there is little experiment. The country knows what has scored sue cess in the east and Is only waiting to greet Madam Butterfly" with the ova- ton she deserves.

Helping To Make an Actress Famous

Helping To Make an Actress Famous.
 Tn the December American Magazine Walter Prichard Eaton describes "Footlight Fiction" or the wonders performed by press agents. Here is one of his stories:
 "One of the most successful press agents at present making theatrical near-history is Toxen Worm, better known in the profession as Tan-bark Worm. He is the man who made Mrs. Campbell famous. She was play ing her first engagement in New York at the theatre now known as the Belasco when MT. Worm became her press agent. Knowing the eccentric irritability of his star. he conceived the idea of spreading tan bark along Forty -second street in front of the theatre to deaden the noises which, he let it be known, jared upon the sensitive nerves of the actress all most beyond endurance. Some city department granted the autho ority, and the tan bark was spread. The story was printed far and wide, exciting laughter, comment, derision. Finally the talk resulted in rebuke rom officials higher up to the department which had granted the authority to spread the bark. The tan bark was removed. That meant more stories
 more talk Mrs. Patrick Campbell be-
 came famous even among those people who probably to this day have never seen her act. She became the center of newspaper attention wherever she went The doings of her toy dog, Pinky- panky-poo, were chronicled, pictured. caricatured-always with MT. Worm invalua ble assistance-till the dog also became a public character. One after noon in Boston Mrs. Campbell, coming on the stage before the matinee, ob-
 served Nick Loretz, her stage carpenter, with whom she was not on the most amicable terms, peeping out at the au- dience
 "It's a splendid house, isn't it?' said l she sweetly. I suppose you think the | crowd is due to the nice weather? 'No.' said Nick, and it aint due to
 you neither. It's all case Of tan , bark and dog!'"
