AND LEA VESALLT TO PERISH
REPORT ON PLANS
FOR Big BANQUET
THE PRESS CLUB AFFAIR THIS
YEAR PROMISES TO ECLIPSE
ALL FORMER ENTERTAINMENT
GIVEN BY THE CLUB.

The Birmingham Press club held q
which reports were made by the various
committees in charge of the details for
the annual banquet which will be given
at the Hotel Hillman Friday evening,
April 8.
The reports showed that more extensive
preparations are being made for the an
nual spread than ever before in the his
tory of the organization. The invitations
to honorary members were sent out yes
terday and the sentiment expressed be-
forehand by the men who have attended
the banquets in the past goes to show
that the attendance at the coming event
will be thoroughly representative of Bir-
mnghams progressive spirit.
The committee which is arranging the
unique features, including the list of
toasts and the place cards, has its work
well in hand, and the result promises to
surprise and delight the guests.
The committee on decorations has also
undertaken something entirely new for
the banquet, and when the guests ar
rive Ut Tie DhllTOOlll ol lHe HUMAN tney
are likely to find some difficulty in telling
just where they are. OF course most of
the plans have to be kept secret, but
those in charge assure the friends of the
club that they will thoroughly enjoy
every minute of the time they are the
clubs guests.
Following the reports of the special
committee yesterday afternoon several
routine matters were disposed of, among
them being the increasing of the ban
quet assessment of active members of
the club. The increase is made with the
stipulation that all back dues are remit
ted. Members paying the banquet assess
ment will be given a card showing them
in good standing, and this card will also
be a receipt for the regular club dues for
the present year. 1t was believed that
this is the best method of putting every
member of the club in good standing, and
at the same time the additional revenue
will assist in making the banquet even
more elaborate than had originally been
planned.
The club has learned with pleasure tina,
John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta
Georgian, is practically sure to attend
the coming banquet Invitations have
been sent to several other prominent men
of the SOUTH and 1t is thought that one
or more OF them in addition to Mr..
Graves, is sure to be present.

Sembrich and Van Hoose.

Marcella Sembrich. who ranks as the
worlds greatest prima donna, assisted by
Ellison Van Hoose, the famous American
tenor. and Frank La Forge, the skilltul
niano accompanist. will appear in concert
at the High school auditorium THURSDAY
night April A..
The sale of reserved seats will begin at
Parkers Nineteenth street store tomor-
row. Already orders for several hundred
seats have come from out-of-town music
lovers. and indications point to very
large audience. The High school auditor
ium contains 1900 seats and the acous'lcs
of the hall are exceptionally good.
Madame Sembrichs fame is widespread.
OF the principal assisting artist, New
York critic says:
.No Young American tenor of recent
years has mare more marked advance III
his profession than Ellison Van Hoose,
who will again devote the coming season
to concerts in this country. Mr.. van
Joose has added greatly to his reputa-
tion nv his artistic successes with Nine.
Me,ha last season. This tour comprised
sixtv-two concerts and covered the en-
tire continent, and in every concert MI.
Van Hoose shared the honors with Nine.
Nelba. He is of Holland decent, but
being born in Tennessee, he can justly be
claimed by American. Much of his school
ing was obtained here. being supple
mented by courses OF study with the lead
ing European masters. which, perhaps
explains his versatility and ability to in
terpret all classes of music from the
severely religious to Tristan. AS for the
voice itself, one can only say that MI.
Van Hoose has been slngularly blessed; 1t
is pure tenor, and is classed as lyric
dramatic, of never-failing sweetness,
purity and warmth"

"The Marriage of Kitty"

The characters in the comedy, The
Marriage of Kitty are so we'll drawn,
their situations are so capitally managed,
and they tell the story in so direct and
breezy fashion, one is stunned into ac-
cepting even the whimsical tale as the
most matter of fact conventionality. Kit
ty, the heroine, wants a husband and q
moneyed one. Kitty, the charmer, is played
by the young New York comedinne, Miss
Florence Gear. The play will be seen at
the Jefferson theatre on Tuesday after
noon and night, March DC. Advance sales
of seats opens tomorrow morning.

President of Southern Railway
Makes Notable Address Be-
fore Commercial Club
RAILROADS HAVE DONE
MUCH FOR THIS DISTRICT
Mr.. Finley Thinks There Will Be No
Cause for Disagreement Between
Roads and Shippers If Cues
tons Are Studied.

W. w. Finley president of the South
ern Railway company. who arrived In
Birmingham Wednesday night, addressed
the Commercial club by special invitation
yesterday afternoon. The clubroom was
crowded to Its utmost capacity and a
more representative audience, perhaps
was never assembled in this city. Among
prominent visiting railroad officials pres
ent were Col. e. L. Russell of Mobile,
vice president of the Mobile and Ohio.
and W. j. Murphy of Cincinnati. vice
president of the Queen and Crescent.
At o'clock yesterday morning COM
mittee from the Commercial club called
on Mr.. Finley to welcome him to the city.
This committee consisted of Robert Jemi-
son, Jr., president of the Commercial club:
j. b. Babb, secretary of the club Maj.
+. Y. Anderson, Ross C. Smith, w. w.
Crawford and John l.. Parker.
Mr.. Finley, under a special escort.
reached the club a few minutes past /
o'clock. Without any preliminaries Pres
ident Jemison called the assembage to
order and in a few happy remarks intro
duced the guest of the occasion. As the
president of the Southern railway arose
and advanced to the dais he was greeted
by hearty applause.
Mr.. Finley read his paper. His voice
was strong, his enunciation was clear and
his style was animated and pleasing. The
address, judging from the frequent ap-
plause, made marked impression. The
full text follows:
