At The TheatO.


 Another extremely good vaudeville bill at The Theato Is promised for the coming week and will be another re- hinder to the people of Montgomery of the good fortune. that Is theirs in having this popular theatre supplied with attractions through the Southern Advanced Vaudeville Association, which has It's personal representative in the Sullivan Considine offices of Chicago. where the attractions shown at The Theato are secured.
 As usual the performance begins with an overture by Hoffman's Orchestra, which plays choice music throughout the performances and adds much to the pleasure of the patrons of this theatre. The. first number after the overture Is Charles Carroll, the ventriIoquist. who with his figures presents one of the cleverest ventriloduist acts on the vau- deville stage. Next on the bill is De- maristio Brothers. two young men who have made quite Q hit with their com,

The two attractions at The Grand this week are each fin part old friends.
 "Arizona." the play that by many artists is regarded as the greatest play of Augustus Thomas. has been played in Montgomery often before, and is here as elsewhere one of the most popular dramatic pieces of American drama.
 It is an old friend in that; it Is new in that the producing cast this year is not the same as last season; but the company is promised to be as strong as in the past The staging is elabo- rate. the scenery being done by men familiar with the places among which the movement of the play Is made.
 Lillian Russel is an old friend--not an old woman, of course. but an old friend in the sweetest and dearest sense of the words. Miss Russell was here last season, as pretty and winsome. as fresh and charming, in appearance and manner and voice as she ever was. And from the statements of the press fur-

 The piece is as full of bright color contrasts as the changing combinations of a Kaleidoscope. It fairly pulses with fresh, vigorous. active life of the young West.

 The scenes of Acts one and four, "Cantby's Ranch" Fort Grant, in the Aravaipa Valley were painted by Wal ter Burridge from sketches made by him in Arizona. The drawing room was painted by John Faust from actual rooms at the ranch and military post.

 The engagement of Hollis E. Cooley's great production of "Arizona." an- nounced for Thursday night at The Grand. will doubtless afford the patrons of this theatre considerable satisfaction.
 MT. Thomas's excellent play has re- peated its wonderful original success in New York in another record-break- ing rtm of four months. and at last goes ea tour of the principal Eastern cities. as well as those of the West. Anything which comes from the pen of the talented author of Alabama

the other twenty-five minor leagues and
the two major leagues are against them,
and, therefore. Mr. Powers and Mr..

cation have the right to draft players
from the leagues which rank beneath
them. AS the matter now stands
nobody can draft from the four class

the two big leagues. The Southern and
