Al. G. Fields Greater MInstre!s.

Al. G. Fields Greater Ministries.
Atlanta's approval of the Al. G. Field
Greater Ministries was chronicled in all
of the daily papers of that city, and the
following account in the Atlanta Const-
tuition of Saturday, September %, will
give the Birmingham theatre goers some
idea of what they may expect when
Fields big aggregation comes to the
Jefferson theatre tomorrow night and
Tuesday matinee and night:
Gay and glittering, gorgeously gar
mented merry minstrel men caused the
Grand to be packed from pit to dome
last night and had the standing, room
only sign hung out on all three floors,
for the first time this year.
1T was the annual visit of the mon
arch of minstresy AL. G. Field. than
whom there is no better drawing card
on .Atlanta's theatrical calendar.
This year his offering by the Al. G.
Field Greater Minstrels, in many partic-
ulars outstrips his previous efforts
which have long been a criterion of ex-
ceilence among the black-faee c omedy
companies.
More gorgeously dressed, more elab-
orately staged. and more original than
ever, his offering kept the large audi
ence in a gale of laughter from first to
last
1.-The performance opens with a stupen-
dous spectacle. depicting minstrelcy in
all stages beginning with David the Min
strel,' with his thousand strings before
the court of Saul, and in four scenes, COM
ing down to the present
.'It was in the scene. American Min
strelsy, that the company showed up to
the best advantage. Here the sweetest
songs of the evening were sung; the
brightest humor displayed, and the most
1auRhahla aituations DENOTED.
"Solon De Miller, an Atlanta boy. re-
ceved an ovation in this part, and re-
ceived probably the only bouquet of
flowers ever handed across the foot
lights on minstrel stage In the history
of the Grand. His voice is clear, sweet.
and was repeatedly encored. In this part
the hits of the evening were made.
. And while AL. Field has his friends in
legion here, 1t was not the king, but the
clown who received the greatest plaudits
of the audience: John Healy. His every
move was smile, and his~eyery action
hearty laugh. He is one of the best
comedians on the stage, today, and scored
a triumph last night. Joe b. MCGEE, Doc
Quigley, Al. Field and Jimmy Burke all
scored comedy hits, too Charles Rim
art the sweet singer, was repeatedly en-
cored In Sleepy Eyes and other selec-
tions. The first part was good from cur
tain to curtain.
I'm the olo, the Frogs Wedding was
clearly the hit. Here too, Healy and
Quigley were the stars. The acrobatic
work of Holman and Neiser. dressed
as bullfrogs, with the wonderful light and
scenic effects, scored nothing short Of a
vaudeville triumph. Burtino the slack
wire performer, was the best ever seen
here in that act. CARMEL and Doherty,
the trapeze artists, were good.
But 1t was the first part. especially
the work of John Healy, Doc Quigley,
the man with the funny legs the mon
lologue Of Al. Field, and the singing of
De Miller Reinhart and MCGEE that
made the show the success that it was.

At the Hippodrome.


Pleased to the uttermost seems to be the
feeling of the Hippodrome's growing pat
ronage, as evidenced by the enthusiastic
applause of each one of the four splendid
vaudeville acts making up last weeks
bills, and SO pleased is the management
of that spacious and popular priced house
that another gorgeous array of talent
has been engaged for the week beginning
tomorrow. One star feature will be that
supplied by the Four Bucks, quartet of
young men in comedy and difficult scenes
awheel that has earned for them reputa-
ton in vaudeville land, making them the
only Americans comparable with the IA
nous Kaufman family Of cyclists. Their
feats thrill as well as amuse, and they
promise to become very popular here.
One of the sensational offerings of the
season will be that provided by Miss Luz
cile Savoy, an operatic soprano and SOU
brette In addition to revealing mar
velous vocal range in the Italian school,
Miss Savoy offers a number of beautiful
Partisan art poses from the famous paint
ings of the Salon in Paris.
A pair of dancers in the persons of
Young and Young will mark another feat
ure of the bill. Two boys with artistic
merit in the manipulation of their pedal
extremities promises to dance their way
into the favoritism of Greater Birming-
ham citizens. musical comedy turn
will be supplied by Bill Dunn, the tramp
musician.
Miss Mamie Malloch will supply the
illustrated song number with an up-te-
date song, fitted with beautiful slides.
Amateur night each Friday, because of
the orderly high-class manner in which
1t is conducted, has made a neat hit. The
amusing amateur performances follow the
completion of the regular vaudeville pic
lures and song bill. There is a matinee
every day.
All ladies' in the city whose names are
Lucille will be admitted free of charge at
Monday and Wednesday matinees on pre-
sentation of their cards.

At the Jefferson theatre next Wednes-
day night. October 6, Geo. M. Conan,
and, as he lovingly terms them, his Royal
Family-Josephine. Helen F. and Jerry
J. Cohan-will present for the first time
here, young Mr. Cohan's laughiest,
danciest daintiest and most melodious
musical comedy 1.-The Yankee Prince"
Local theatre-goers have been await
ing the coming of this attraction with
pleasurable anticipation for months, and
now that the engagement is at hand and
the people are assured that the only
original simon-pure, dyed-in-the
Geo. NJ himself is to head the big origi-
nal cast which has been no small factor
in its success in New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia and elsewhere playgoers
are correspondingly jubilant.
This latest musical success from Geo.
M. Cohan's pen is a timely satire on
titled fortune hunters. New Workers. liked
it for over four months, and it has just
closed a highly successful return engage
ment there, from which city it comes to
us direct.
or course no play from Mr.. Cohan's pen
would be complete without music, and In
1.-THE Yankee Prince there is said to be
riot of 1t; IN fact. the musical numbers
and ensembles follow each other in such
flashes of witty lines and bright repartee,
that the average auditor is lost in amaze
ment in contemplating the fact that the
entire performance in line, lyrics and
dialogue all emanated from young Mr..
Cohans gifted pen.
In England, when they turn out a mu-
steal success, one generally finds four or
five names tackled on as author. COM
poser, lyric writer, chatter editor, etc.,
but not so in young Mr. Cohans case.
His resourcefulness in musical comedy
composition eliminates the necessity Of
collaborateurs' assistance, and THE Yam
kee Prince is said to be one of the best
evidences of this assertion. Mr. Conan
will be surrounded and supported in his
forthcoming visit with the identical COM
pany that has been with him since 1.-THE

pals are his father. mother and sister

At the Bijou.

'Pierre of the Plains a great Ameri-
can drama, is the Bijou attraction all
this week, commencing Monday night,
with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. The Norfolk Landmark of
last Tuesday says:
Fashioned along the lines of The
Great Divide, and The Wolf and
equally as good as either, Pierre of the
Plains was put on at the CRANKY thea
tire last night before an audience which
filled the beautiful playhouse complete
ly and applause was given without stint
from the galleries and the lower floor
alike in manner which gave the stamp
of approval to the play and those who
presented 1t in no uncertain way.
" Pierre of the Plains is melodrama
of a high order, in four acts and every
act is full of interest. There are some
people who do not fancy melodramas but
this is not of the knock out kind, and
while it undoubtedly belongs to that
school of plays, it is above that class
and commands attention wherever 1t is
presented.
Its presentation last night was great
and the company is far above the av-
erage. In fact, there is not a poor play
er in the cast. The dialogues are crisp
and interesting, the situations such as
compel one to sit up and take notice.
and interest never flags from the rise
of the curtain on the first act to it's
final fall on the fourth. 1t Is not I'M
like The Great Divide on the one hand,
and on the other it recalls much that
is good in the great play of The Wolf
Those who have seen either of these
plays must admire Pierre of the Plains
and feel refreshed from seeing 1T. In fact.
1t is great show at popular prices and
the wonder is that Manager Wells can
give such a good show at the prices. 1t
is only accounted for from the fact that
he has determined to give the best In
his line that money can buy, and last
nights presentation is proof thereof.

How FIipper Was FIopped.

Six listers on six persons looking ex-
actly alike is the funny mix-up which
starts the laugh-bal1 rolling in How Flip
per Was Flopper,' to be presented by the
Mabel Paige Stock company at the Vir-
ginia this week.
Mabel Paige will assume the leading
feminine role, being the maid who be-
comes perplexed in the question of decid-
ing which man in the ulster is the real
man. The play is said to be exceptionally
funny. In fact, 1t created such a hit in
some places that 1t was necessary to re-
peat 1t. The Mabel Paige company was
very pleasing in its production last week
and the coming week promises ever bet
ter success for them than they enjoyed
during 1t.
