''rrhe Thief made an immediate sensa- ton. It ran through the entire season with M Guitry and Mme le Bargy in the chief roles. About the foible, the ambi-
 ton, the cunning, the love as deep as human passion and as wide as human frailty of woman, "The Thief" Is a woman's play But side by side with the great lesson 1t contains for every wife, 1t contains rich food for thought for every husband It is the most thrilling human
 dramatic document put on the stage in years.
 ] Miss Irma La Pierre, who is this season supporting A. H. Wilson in When Old New York Was Dutch" is an actress of , great personal magnetism. She has a
 speaking voice of rare quality that has
 made the road to artistic success easier to travel. Although comparatively young in years Miss La Pierre has enjoyed a wide and varied stage experience, her 1 successes including such characters as Annie, in Way Down East" Jane With 1 erspoon in The College Widow" and Flora Campbell in Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush.'
 That distinguished artist, Adelaide
 Thurston, has every reason to be proud of her new play, "The Woman's Hour" Critics everywhere since she opened her season have declared it the best vehicle l she has ever had This is indeed saying great, deal as Miss Thurston has had ; the good fortune of being pretty well supplied in the matter of plays for the past several seasons. Miss Thurston in "rhe Woman's Hour is to appear at the Jefferson on November A.

He Was Reading.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 MT. Jones of Camden went to dine one evening with a friend. He imbibed quite freely, and the result was that he got pretty mellow"
 As he started home he realized his con- dition, and pondered how to conceal it from his wife.
 I'll go home and read" he said to him self. Whoever heard of drunken man reading?"
 He reached home and went to the li- brary and commenced to read. Mrs. Jones later appeared on the scene.
 What on earth are you doing?" she asked
 Reading, my dear! I'm reading he replied.
 "Reading?" said his wife scornfully What are you reading?''
 That books been in the house for the last 20 years. so if you don't like 1t I'm not going to tell you. he replied.
 You old idiot; shut up that valise, and come to bed." she answered scornfully.

"The Merry WidowIv

"The Merry Widow in all her glory will make her bow to Birmingham at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night for an matinee Wednesday.
 If one Is to believe all the glowing praise bestowed on 'The Merry Widow by the people who have heard this nota- ble viennese operetta, the long-lost dance that once charmed the classic ancients has come to earth again on breeze of delicious music. In '''rhe Merry Widow" with its tumult of attractive color and spirit Lehar. the composer, is credited with bringing the soul of elegant light music back to it's own. out of the mire of ragtime and three-note jingles which have swamped opera comique in musical comedy for the past ten years.
 Thanks to Henry w. Savage, Birming- ham music-lovers are soon to have the great pleasure of judging for themselves of the merits of Franz Lehar's exquisite work of art The wonderful opera will have delightful interpretation by typi- cal Savage company of lyric artists and select orchestra perfectly schooled in the lovely measures provided by the com poser, who has suddenly grown into a great celebrity through this one sym metrical work Number after number in the score presents the liveliest enchant- ment to the imagination and leaves mem- ory a bouquet of original and seductive melodies to enjoy indefinitely.
 Even slight acquaintance with the music shows 1t to be as spirited as a Mozart score It rings with valse and sarabande, with the ozardas and bizarre petites popinettas and cancan. It abso- 1utely glows with lovely songs and brill liant dance music and is so beautifully written, has such splendid Fundamental rythm and unction of so much intellec- tuality within its feathery waves and winds that Waldteufel and Won Weber, Offenbach and Won Suppe seem lowing before youthful competitor likely to dis pute laurels for the very kind of music each one of these idols has held unchal- longed until '"The Merry Widow created the lyrical sensation of this epoch.
 TheA production is known to be most lavish and beautiful. The Marsovian Em- bassay shown in the first act is pro nounced inique and stunning in decora- ton and the gowns of the women dazzling.

corinne In Lola From Berlin"


 What is said to be thoroughly novel and absolutely unconventional musical production. Lola From Berlin by John J. McNally, will serve as a starring ve- hicle for the peerless singing comedienne Corinne, who comes to the Jefferson the atre Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee Saturday.
 The play was produced by Klaw and
 Erlanger last season in the Liberty the- atre, New York city, where it scored a
 big hit William Jerome and Jean
 Schwartz have contributed some of their
 best lyrics, of which the following are particularly distinctive: T Think of You
 the Whole Year Round" "Td Sooner Be
 Hasbeen," "Unter der Linden" Be
 meath the Moon. Signs" Just From College" Poor Little Foolish Man. and
 "There's Not Another Grille in the World for Me"
 The story of Lola From Berlin" is told in three acts. The last scene Is an exte- rior of exceptional beauty which shows the suburban home of a wealthy New Yorker. A magnificent view of the Hud-
 son is pictured. The plot of the story hinges on the confusion resultant upon the simultaneous placing of an advertise ment in the same paper by corporation lawyer, who is seeking the heir of a wealthy German, and one by his wife, who is seeking. cook. Lola Is the heir ess and travels alone from Berlin to es- tablish her rights but her general ap- pearance causes her errand to be mis- taken and complications of decidedly humorous as well as serious interest re- suit.
 The cast is headed by Corinne, who scored so heavily in Birmingham in the role of Mary in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway The story affords her every opportunity for the display of her talents, and she is said to be as charming as ever. One of the strongest of musical casts surrounds Corinne It includes such well known farceurs as Mark Sullivan, Henry Carl Lewis, Lillie May White, Os- born Clemson, Pearl Beware, Frank , Woods Franklin Vail, Lillian Wilson, Hazel Carlton, Freddie Stott and Bunnie Ingeborg, together with an excellent chorus of beautiful singing and dancing
 girls The play comes here superbly mounted.

Archie Boyd In "shore Acres,

The simple, but beautiful story of pas toral life as told in the rural play of "Shore Acres" is one that emanates from the soul. It strikes at the very heart Of human life--the very foundation of so- ciety It is a battle between man of high integrity and a brother, who would sacrifice family ties, memories and inter- ests for money The characters as DOT trayed by the author appeal to public favor because of their freshness and sim plicity.
 There are mo exciting scenes or thrilling passages; there is hardly character that could be called a hero, yet the story, so easily and naturally unfoded, absorbs the attention and cannot fail to uplft the mind. That 1t is thoroughly appreciated and always a favorite is demonstrated by the number and character of the audi ences which greet 1t at each successive

the quality of the milk from each cow
remained practically constant. whether
she was MIXED by haad or machine.
1t required from two to three times as
long to milk a cow with the machine
as would have been required by good
hand mixer. but one operator can ham
die two or three machines, SO he could
milk four or more cows with the ma
chine in less time than ne could milk
the same number by hand.
The success of mechanical mixer
depends to large extent upon the COW
as to whether she readily becomes ac-
customed to the machine, according to
tests just made at the Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent station. 1t was found there
was usually slight drop IN milk yield
when changing from hand milking to
the machine, and two of the cows
could never be MIXED with the ma
chine without leaving one or more
pounds of strippings, while others were
often MIXED as completely as would
be done under ordinary circumstances.
In general the cows were MIXED clean
er as they became accustomed to the
machine.
