 Louis Mann, in Jules Eckert Goodman's play. "The Man Who Stood Still" rendered to the theatre-goers of Birmingham last night perhaps the most powerful and in- teresting and enjoyable dramatic presen- tation ever played here. Mir. Manns splen- did acting completely carried away the audience, which was attested to by tho fact that after five curtain calls at the end of the third act. the actor was forced to make short speech of appreciation, which he did most gracefully and charm ingly.
 Being laid in the lower East Side section of New York city, in which the charac- ters are of the lower environment, the play would not seem attractive, but the lovable character of John Krauss, "The Man Who Stood Still" and the humor and pathos contained in the lines, makes the play very interesting.
 The play takes it's name from the lead ing character, John Krauss, a German shopkeeper of the East Side of New York city, The character is that of an old man accustomed to old ways, who scoffed at the methods of modern commercialsm, stuck to the old methods and was finally forced out of business by his competitors and enemies because The stood still" The plot has to do primarily with the love be- tween John Krauss and his daughter, in whose love the old German is wrapped up The girl is enticed away from her home and father by false lover Krauss is heertbroken upon learning the facts and disowns his daughter The remainder of the story deals with the method in which the father and daughter are finally drawn together, and the theme is interesting. The play ends happily.
 MI VddHH feprSSenLdtlOn OI the Cndf- acter John Krauss is undoubtedly one of the most splendid pieces of dramatic work ever seen in Birmingham. In the pinochle game his great ability as a comedian is called for, and in the denunciation of his daughter the effect of his acting was dis played by the momentary silence of his audience, which could tender no applause until the curtain was completely down. The actor was equal to every phase of the character he played so well, and his work was nothing less than remarkable.
 Miss Emily Ann Wellman as Marie Krauss. John Krauss' daughter. was splendid in the execution of her lines. Robert A Fischer as Edward Spegel, Krauss' lifelong friend, was great in the comedy role he played Miss Lillian Sin mott appeared at the Bijou some time ago in stock company, and is quite popular here. or the remaining characters it suf- fees to say that they were good without exception.

Laurel, Miss, April 15.-(Special. )-In the absence of any extensive railroad con- struction in Mississippi this year the most important announcement of trans portation arrangements for this section comes from President L.

tiesburg- Beaumont branch and thence down the main line of the Mobile, Jack son and Kansas City to Mobile.
 It is believed that the deal has some significance with respect to the ultimate terminal of the Mississippi Central road on the gulf coast. TOT some time it has been a question whether the road would build from Hattiesburg to the gulf to touch at Scranton, Mobile, Gulf port or Biloxi, and all these ports have been offering the company inducements to secure favorable consideration. Until a short time ago 1t was believed Scran- ton had the call on the plum, but lately the controlling influences of the road have been giving consideration to the advantages of Mobile. and it is believed that this new arrangement with the Mo bile, Jackson and Kansas City will es- tablish such intimacy between the Mis- sissippi Central and Mobile that the line will eventually be built into that city.

ASK For President Pro Tenn.

On account of the continued illness of Mayor Walter l.. Rush, the question as to a president pro tenn of the city council is being agitated, as it is held that the code states that when the mayor is incapaci- tated the president of the council acts as mayor, and as such he cannot preside over the deliberations of the city council. As there will be a regular meeting next Tuesday evening. the mayor still sick. and President l. A. Lewis acting as mayor it may be that a president pro tenn will have to be elected before the board can transact business according to law. There are two aldermen who have been spoken of for the place as president pro tenn Aldermen Edmundson and Batson. Just what move will be made has not been made public, and it may be that Mayor Rush will be we'll enough to be at the city hall by Tuesdays meeting.
