Amusenqents
At the sFaiestic Theatre.


 The management of the Majestic Theatre is back again in its old swing. No more bad mediocre acts. much less a bad one, is to be seen in the future Last weeks exceptional bill is followed this week with one just as good--in many places better, although 1t didn't seem possible to improve last weeks offerings for the price.
 Three packed houses witnessed yes terday's performances. The report of the matinee spread. and at the first night performance there wasn't seat to be had for love or money after the first turn. The same conditions pre-. vailed during the second performance, and 1t ought to prevail for the rest of the week.
 The headIiner on the bill this week Is without question Harry H. Richards and his supporting company, Miss Daley and Miss Ferguson. This act Is spark ling with comedy. and the costumes worn are magnificent The vehicle provided, Love a la Mode,'' is but a setting In which Richards is given the opportunity to display a certain orig. inalIty that is refreshing. But in ad- ,dLtIon to Mr. Richards both of the members of his company are pretty and they have pleasant voices.
 The "nigger" Is also of the best The program has him as II. L. Webb. The part of a monologist is always the hardest to get away with. and at all performances yesterday Webb got away with every joke and every knowing smile
 For the rest of the bill there are the Pendletons, with their instruments; Frank A. Dunn. the tramp comedian. and a special number thrown in.
 The latest moving pictures complete a bill well worth seeing from every standpoint.

 Band st the Army
 Headquarters.
MORE THAN 300 FAMILIES FEI

- The hearts of many poor families of Montgomery were made happy by the Christmas entertainment given by the Salvation Army at it's headquarters last night. The entertainment, which prov ed a success in every way, was the best that the Salvation Army ever gave in this city. About 500 poor families received baskets of provisions, clothing. toys and fruits
 The presents for each family were given to them in three baskets. One basket contained groceries. one cioth-, ing and the other fruits and toys for the children. Tn each grocery basket were: one sack of four one loaf of bread, one six-pound beef roast a large box of oatmeal, a box of crackers. small sack of coffee. small sack of sugar. small sack of rice a can of corn, can of tomatoes. can of beans. and many other articles of food The amount of food in each basket was sufficient 10 furnish a good meal to a family of eight persons.
 The basket of clothes contained such articles Of wearing apparel as were suitable to the needs of each family Captain Odom had list of the families to whom presents were going to be given and also the names of the mem
 bers and their age and sex. In this way
 it was possible to give each family a
 basket containing articles of clothing
 suited to them. In these lots there were distributed about 250 pairs of shoes. 200 dress patterns, each pattern containing eight or ten yards of good cloth, l60 suits of underwear, 300 pairs of hose. 100 fascinators. 100 boys suits. 100 caps and hats, and several hundred Testa-
 ments.
 Tn each of the 100 baskets of toys and fruit were one doze each of apples and oranges, q sack of candy and sack of
 ralsins, together with a large assort- ment of toys of all kinds.
 The front veranda and the two front
 rooms were filled to the limit with the
 baskets, thus making it necessary to
 have part of the entertainment in the
 yard in order to accommodate the vis- itors While the presents were being given out amusement was furnished to the waiting ones by a moving picture
 machine, which threw pictures on a
 large screen on the side of the build l ing. These pictures were given by Messrs. Nusbaum and Boykin. For a while the place was thrown In. | to darkness by the burning out of a
 fuse, but the damage was soon repaired and no serious delay was caused. The weather was fine and nothing happened
 to, mar the pleasure of the recipients of l Captain odom's charity and kindness. This work so successfully accomplish l cd by the Salvation Army was trem. endous task and Captain Odom and his little band are receiving the great
 est praise for their work.
