Fun lovers will welcome the appearance of Sambo and the Dutch comedian Among the female voices special mention must be made of Miss Weir and Miss Wood Miss Weir is Mrs. O'Neill's star pupil while Miss Wood is of professional ranks.

 And Jeanne Becue, afterwards Countess Du Barry-Miss Edna May Spooner.
 Birmingham theatregoers have seen Miss Edna May Spooner in a variety of roles and have liked her in them all. Last night at the Bijou theatre she made another bid for popular favor as the lit- tie milliner who wins the King of France and as Du Barry she proved herself again player of unusual ability. Miss Spoon- CTS version of the play which was used last night is different in some respects from the version used by Mrs. Carter. chiefly in the conclusion, but it is most interesting throughout and was given d very good presentation by the company. The staging was also well done the gar dens of the King being quite a pretty stage picture, with vista of Paris by night in the background. The costumes were correct and quite elaborate for q stock company production.
 Miss Spooner makes Du Barry womanly and appealing, choosing to present her in more attractive guise than we are accustomed to consider the mistress of Louis Ky. She was particularly good in the lighter passages and rose successful ly to the more emotional parts. MT. La Rue, who is an actor of much quiet force and has a splendid stage presence, made the King a convincing figure. MT. Remington gave very good portrayal of Richelieu, while Miss Raymond as the Countess De Chateauroux was fair. Mir. Chesterfield, as usual, acquitted himself well, his part being that of the Duke De Choiseul.

A CLASH WITH TURNER.
Retort of the Print Seller Who Longed
to See the Artist.

to See the Artist.
Turner, happening one day to pass a
printshop, noticed in the window a
copy of one of the engravings from his
famous ''Liber StudiOrum." The print
was in a very dirty, ragged state. En-
tering the shop. Turnei9 sked to see
the master and when tneNnan came
forward proceeded at Ouce to blame
him in no measured terms for having
neglected so valuable & print and for
having allowed it to become so dis
figured. The man protested that it
was no fault of his, as he did but offer
the engraving for sale in the same
state in which he had bought it from
some other dealer.
Ihis did not satisfy Turner, how
ever, and he and the man continued
arguing for some time
At last the print seller lost all pa
thence.
Perhaps, sir" he said, "wher you
have quite finished what you have to
say you will kindly tell me what you
have to do with this engraving and
what business is it of yours whether
the print is clean or dirty"
This is what l have to do with ii, -
answered the enraged artist-"it was l
who drew the original of that print.
My name is Turner, and l did every
line Of that engraving with my own
hand. Now do you wonder that am
angry at seeing my work in so dis
graceful a state?"
Indeed, sir!' replied the print SELL
er. 80 you are the great artist him
self! All my life long 1t has been my
wish that l might some day have the
good fortune to see Mr.. Turner. Now
that l have seen him l sincerely hope
that l may never see him again"
