Young comes this season under the management of the Shuberts. The advance sale of seats opens at g o clock this morning.

"E ads and EoIIies.v

"Fads and Follies" is the name of the burlesque which appeared at the Gay ety yesterday It is divided in two acts
 entitled "Flashlights of Broadway and "Edisons Studio" with the usual olio in which Irving R. Waldon and May Walsh stand far out above the other
 artists. Miss Walsh's rendition of Its
 Going To Be a Great Night Tonight" was especially good and was encored re- peatedly.
 The entire show is a mixture of com edy and music, most of the characters , being impersonations of noted actors and
 actresses. A large chorus appears on
 the stage frequently, while the comedians are before the lights constantly

At the Biiou.


 ''The Promoters" in which Ward and Vokes again united, in musical comedy, returned to the Bijou theatre last night for a weeks engagement is an elabor- ately mounted show, which is particularly rich in costumes and scenic effects and is set off with number of captivat- ing songs. These good qualities, taken into consideration with the efforts of three clever comedians and Lucy Daly, who is a whole show by herself, make an entertainment that deserves to rank as one of the most artistic and most entertaining musical comedies booked at the Bijou in some time. The mounting of the piece throughout is sumptuous and in good taste. The sheath gown girls,
 although they have been featured in nearly every musical show seen in Bir- mingham this season, were just little more gorgeous last night than their pred
 ecessors and also more numerous. The
 costumes in this part of the perform
 ance were extremely beautiful and cost
 ly beyond the ordinary. All the song
 numbers are put on in capital style and
 presented with the assistance of a strong
 chorus. Among the more attractive mus
 ical numbers may be mentioned 'If You
 Are No Ones Sweetheart" "The Only
 One I Love is O. Somewhere There
 is Someone I'd Like to Know" ''The One I Love the Best of All" When
 I'm Away from You" and Miss Daily s
 winning song, Sympathetic Sue." in which she introduced her local hits and won rounds of applause.
 Ward and Vokes don't have much to do in the first half of the performance but they grow funny in a restaurant burlesque in the second act which is rich in comedy and proved to be the most diverting part of the performance. These two comedians were ably assisted by Lew Kelly as Professor Dope. who makes the most of an eccentric part that offers many opportunities for bi-
 zarre comedy Miss Daly and Miss Bes- sic Rosa were also pleasngly conspicu- ous most of the time in musical num- bers and other specialties, while MT. i ManIy's songs were well received.
 The Promoters is claimed to be the most expensive show Ward and VolSes have yet been provided with and the richness of the costumes and other ef- fects justifies the claim.

''The Merry Widow" !"

When 'The Merry Widow which comes to the Jefferson theatre for an engagement lasting three nights and a matinee beginning next Monday night October 26, was first produced the fa- nous scene at Maxims was omitted but when Henry w. Savage secured the rights for this production he determined to have the actual Parisian' scene. Since then every manager presenting "The Merry Widow" throughout the world has added this sensational act to the won derful Viennese operetta and it is now almost as famous as the music of Franz Lehar. The people of Birmingham are anxiously awaiting the coming of the opera and it is announced that Rosemary Glosz is the prima donna for the en- gagement here.

Gov. Stuart's Story.

Gov. Stuart, Of Pennsylvania, ap-
proaches public speaking with diff
dence. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor Of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself, and to-
day he makes a strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even short address without first re.
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi
ence for surprise. The other day,
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story:
There was a loquacious Scottish
dominic who always had something to
say to his parishi Jners. 1t was rainy
Sunday. Mrs. Mcpherson found her

 The car came from San Francisco and was consigned to Pittsburg. Pa. It was about half loaded with beans in sacks and the Chinese had about forty gallons of water in cans. a box of crackers and a couple of Ioaves of bread when arrested, which was what was left of the provisions they started with.
 The San Francisco seals on the car had not been broken and 1t had no windows and 1t is remarkable how the men lived in such a close place.
 Deputy Rains brought the men to Abilene where they were placed in jail. They will await examination and may possibly be deported.
