Artificial Limbs.

"a manufacturer or dealer In arh-
fetal limbs who wears cork arm or
leg himself Is much better equipped for
business than his competitors who are
sound" said a man who uses cork
leg. "In fact, II has become q sort OF
unwritten law among Us to patronlze
such men when possible. Sentimental
reasons may have something TO do with
the case, but guess the chief reason
Is that we consider that II man can
make n limb for himself that fits like
the paper on the wall he can make
II for others. Manufacturers Of arti-
fetal limbs know this. and frequently
you will find an advertisement ike
this: The So-and-so artificial leg Is
built by a man who Is wearing one
AMI who knows from experience what
you want for comfort This is strong
argument, for it's no easy thing to get
an artificial limb that just fits. Per
sons who have trouble getting shoes
that are just right are In great luck
compared TO us."-New York Sun.

so well satirized. That the thought is
deeper than the difference of mere state
and country and that it goes down into
the heart of things as they are, is proved
conclusvely by the wonderful popularity
the play has enjoyed for season in
Austria and France before being brought
to this country. Its first presentation In
New York made an immediate and pro.
nounced hit, and since its opening it has
been playing nightly to crowded houses.
The Baldwin Melville stock company
are going to present 1.-The Devil in Bir-
mingham for the first time during their
engagement here at the Bijou. Manager
Walter s. Baldwin has obtained the orig
inal version of the play and it will be
produced with all the expensive settings
and properties exactly as it is now being
given in New York.
The strong sympathy between two such
characters as Nance Olden and Tom Dor
gan, the two pals, in ''In the Bishops
Carriage" is the basis of the big scene
occasioned by their parting. AS pre-
scented by the Baldwin Melville stock
company, I'll the Bishops Carriage"
the characteristics of the two are strong
ly portrayed. For a woman such as
Nance Olden was the strong right arm
and the protection of a man of the type
Of Tom Dorgan are necessities. No mat
ter how low the man may be. if the WON
an loves him or thinks she does, she will
find her parting from him the greatest
conflict of her life. The scene where the
regenerated Nance chooses between her
old pal of the slums and her saviour
makes one of the strongest scenes of the
strong play.

MRS. JACK COULDN'T SEE 1T.
The Boston Woman Wouldn't Obey the
"Hats-Off' Rule When In a Box.

From the New York Telegraph.
The hats off" rule of the Gaiety the
atre calls to mind the famous encounter
between the late Isaac Rich and Mrs.
Jack" Gardner in one of that celebrated
Boston managers theatres. Isaac Rich
was a man whose word was law in his
own theatres He promulgated a few
years ago the same rule that is to be so
rigidly enforced in the new Gaiety. Char
acteristically enough, he extended the rule
to the boxes.
The ladies Of Boston did not see the
sense of this last. The idea of the rule
was to insure clear line of vision;
box party could surely settle that matter
for itself So thought Mrs. Gardner, and
lust like her she determined to fight it
out She took box one afternoon, and
in sailed all the ladies of her party, gor-
geously be-hatted. Rich sent around
card requesting the ladies to remoys
their headgear. They paid no attention.
A second usher was sent round, this time
with a verbal message. Mrs. Gardner
began in measured but very distinct tones
TO argue with him. The second emissary
gave 1t up in despair Rich himself then
came to the fray. The argument became
hotter and tenser. Audience and actors
became restless, disturbed.
What will you do?" asked Mrs. Gard
ner in tones of unusual penetrativeness,
"f we persist in wearing our hats in
box that we ourselves have purchased?"
81 shall put you out" said Rich reso-
lutely and equally loudly.
Murmurs of trouble and dissent were
heard from the irritated theatre.
Proceed" said Mrs. Jack.
OF course this procedure was next to
impossible, and the party. sitting reso-
lutely in their seats, awaited expulsion,
now commanding the attention of the en-
tire audience and stage. The argument
went on, and only when Mrs. Gardner
had sufficiently disturbed the performances
and placed her case clearly before tho
public did she consent to depart

pany returns to Birmingham this week

will be the first offering of the week. For
this engagement Mr.. Baldwin has had
special scenery built and all the neces-
sary accessories of the play will be used
in their entirety Special and expensive
electrical effects will be used and the cast
will be fully equal to the expensive one
that originally produced the drama under
the direction of Mr.. Higgins.
'At Piney Ridge" will be given by the
Baldwin-Melville stock company. Monday
and Tuesday night, September 81 and %,

the remarkable Austrian DRAMA which
is the regning sensation in New York
at present, The Devil, Will close the
engagement.
Some years ago David Higgins wrote
and produced the great mountain drama,
"At Piney Ridge" Written around him
self, he played the drama with much
success for a number of seasons When
Mr. Higgins finally decided to get another
vehicle for his own use he arranged for
the stock production Of his play with
Walter S. Baldwin manager of the Bold
win-Melville stock company. Mr.. Hig-
gins refused number OF managers the
rights of production of "At Piney Ridge"
because he felt that he had made such
a success Of the play that should it be
produced In a cheap manner 1T would
hurt his new play, in which he was starr
ing. The confidence Mr.. Higgins reposed
in Walter S. Baldwin has been more than
justified by the care and expense Mr..
Baldwin has always put In his production
of the drama.
