is the Casino Girls company, show which takes its name from the famous play house in New York city, and upon which MT. Jess Burns, the well known burlesque manager has spent great deal of time and money to produce. That he has been amply rewarded goes without saying, as the press comments from the various cities where the company has ap- peared has been unanimous In their pDdise of his efforts. The show opens With a burletta entitled "The Two Pikers," in which those two clever comedians, Tom McRae and Will Vidocq, are given full sway and do themselves proud. Following this is an all star olio consisting of Paul. inc Moran, Casino favorite; Burns and McCone, comedy acrobats; Tom Nolan and Cora Wh<e, travesty stars; J. Theo.

The Music Festival.

As the time approaches for the music festival to be held in the Hippodrome, April B. 29 and 3O interest in this great enterprise increases. The sale of seats to out of town people is large and sig nificant. It indicates growing appreoia- tion of good music and is a distinct rec ognition of Birmingham as a musical cen- ter
 Damrosch will conduct not only all the orchestral numbers, but all the choral numbers in the various programmes as well. This will greatly heighten the artistic effect of the festival for MT. Dam rosch has decided genius for festival chorus work, to say nothing of his wide experience as director of the Wagner music dramas at the Metropolitan opera.
 Mrs. Isabel Garghill Beecher will be one of the festival attractions. She will read Shakespeare's Midsummer Night s Dream music to tho beautiful incidental music by Mendelssohn.
 MT. Damrosch brings from New York a great solo quartet-Corinne Rider Kel- sey, soprano; Nevada Van der Veer, con trallo; Reed Miller, tenor, and Gustaf HolmQuist, basso. In addition to these artists there will be several attractions of local musical interest
 Rienzi Thomas. the south's greatest organist, writes to Manager Hon from Montgomery:
 T certainly hope for the success that your festival deserves and am delighted to hear that an effort is being made to stir the music-loving people of the south to something higher and better. I do not think you could have selected a leader that would have fulfilled that mission like Damrosch, standing as he does in the foremost rank of musicians. His ability as leader and his reputation as thorough musician is too widely known to need comment. You are certainly fortunate in securing him. I shall do all I can to impress upon the people of Montgomery the treat that Is in store for them in Birmingham at your festival and just how much they will miss if they fail to take advantage of this opportunity to hear one of Americas leading orchestras. I expect to come myself and unless some-

 q had been trying for six months to get raise from my employer, but noth- ing doing. l worked and served faith fully always and with discretion and good judgment, if I do say it, but no raise. And then came along a little bit of an incident that got me the lift of wages wanted right away.
 'I have always been accustomed to pay attention to the little personal peculiari- ties of my employers guests so that could show at the table or away from 1t attention to their fancies or their real wants, and this I know entitled me to higher recognition in the way of pay, for all this, of course, was for my employer 8 benefit and good But l couldn't tell him all these things.

 That there is very real interest in the coming of MT Louis Mann to Birmins- ham in the play called "The Man Who Stood Still" was exemplihed, when, yes- terday any number of inquiries were made at the box office. MT. Mann has always been favorite here; indeed, his popular ity with the playgoers ante-dates by some years his immense success in "The Girl From Paris' and '"The Telephone Girl" going back to the season when he, Robert Edeson Harry Davenport, Clara Jipman and other clever persons came here in support of Charles Dickson in Mrs Pacheco's farce of "Incog."

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP. 7

In speaking of the theatrical season yesterday, Manager R. s. Douglas of the Jefferson declared that number of good attractions are yet scheduled for that playhouse. He says that while April will not bring a large number of shows, they are all attractions of merit.
 Chief among the April bookings will be the Ben Greet players in repertoire. These players were last seen here in the 18th century morality play, "Everyman," !" and scored a decided hit. So much in- terest was manifested in the old school of acting that the engagement this sea- son is for three performances.
 Some facts about the drama:
 The drama was brought to England by means of the Norman conquest.
 Christopher Marlowe, by means of his play, .Tamburlaine the Great" intro- duced the use of blank verse on the English stage.
 The first theatre was built in Dublin in 1885, but was closed in 161.

porters are making much ado about
twenty-five per cent rebate on taxes
which they collect of us in defiance
of all justice and all historical pre-
cedents 1t does amount TO con-
siderable sum, about 100000 last
year, aud this Is turned back to the
state as a sort Of conscience fund
and a sop TO make us content with
their Withdrawing from settlement a
third Of the area of Colorado. They
think with this sum which they
arrogantly asserted must be used
specifically for schools or roads, we
should he satisfied with their taking
areas as big as some states and
condemning them to indefinite
silence and solitude. The New
York Lie Insurance company was
condemned as a robber when it

territory, and as Governor Shafroth
we'll says, since the taxes for thirty
years constitute an equity in the
land, the government practically
forces us to pay for the reserves
every thirty years. The best their
twenty-five per cent can answer is
that it extends the time to forty

prosperous homes upon these re-
