THE LITTLE DIVORCE ORPHANS

This little baby girl-her
name is Alice-has beautiful
clothes, and when she is older she
will have much money. But now
she hasn't any home. There are
hundreds, yes, thousands, of the
little divorce orphans like her in
the United States today.
Alice is the daughter of Col.
and Mrs. John Jacob Aston. Her
mother is securing a divorce from
Alice's papa.
These little divorce orphans
have new papas and new mammas
every now and then, until finally
they hardly know to whom they
belong.
They seem like pure, white, lit
tie flowers swept about ON the
muddy, filthy stream of immoral
ity which flows through the very
homes of our rich. The little
Alices, the little divorce orphans
or our days, are the saddest fea-
lures of our divorce courts. Only
the other day, when VIM. X. VAN
derbilt, jr.'s daughter, IL years
old, broke her arm in such a man
ner that amputation seemed nee
essary, Wr. X. Vanderbilt, jr., on
account of pending divorce, could
not go to his daughters bedside,
though she called for him.
BE brave. Papa is watching
you through the telephone" wired
Vanderbilt to the poor little d.
vorce orphan, who suffered dou-
bly, with broken arm and a
breaking heart. The saddest part
of 1t all is the little divorce or,
phans don't understand 1t. They
look on with wondering eyes when
papa and mamma separate. 1t is
not so terrible to have a child tell
you that papa or mamma "has

Majestic Opening.

No more pleasing announcement to the playgoing public has been made lately than that of the re-opening of the Majes- tic Birminghams theatre beautiful The thousands of friends of this popular little playhouse have anxjously looked forward to the time when fl would once again he the scene of thea activity.
 Manager Ritchie is being congratulated on his success in obtaining the Maiestic as an appropriate horne fer so talented a stock company as that beaded by Nshel Paige, and that they will be given hearty support In their production of high class pleys goes without saving
 In choosing "Lover's Lane" as an open ing bill one of the best efforts of the late Clyde Fitch the management has done so with d view of imrrcss'rg the public with the character of attractions which they intend 10 offer It is claimed that no more clean-cut wholesome comedy drama has ever been staged. and it is the policy Of the management 10 offer only such class of plays as are elevating in tone and entertaining so thst ;he MajeR- tic will continue as heretofore 10 be the favorite amusement place with the ladies and children.

tional opportunities for scenic display and following his custom of the past Charles B. Hanford has provided a production which not only upholds but enhances his reputation as a producer. The cast headed by Miss Marie Drofnah is one of general excellence and the engagement Is confidently expected to rank as one of the real events of the season.
 Al. H. Wilson, the ambassador of Ger man dialect. who is underlined for an early appearance in this city in his latest play, Metz in Ireland" has imported from the land of the Shamrock a native jaunting car and wee bit of a donke = to be used in his new production.
 In the picked cast that will be seen here in Paid in Full when the Wagen- hals X kemper company sends the noted Eugene Walter success to the south this season for the first time, the character of Captain Williams will be played by l.. j. Lorng. Captain Williams is one of the striking figures of modern drama. No character ever created by a dramatist has been more widely discussed.

less and perfectly quiet audience for 'The Servant in the House. has been witnessed in every big city in the United States, In it's criticism of the first per formance in San Francisco the San Fran cisco Examiner called attention to this unusual feature. "A frst-night audience at the Van Ness theatre" the critic said, followed the play with breathless inter- est. And at the finish-for the last act is the most acutely dramatic of all- there was no hurrying with wraps no noise cf shuffling feet. When came the fall of the curtain there followed an out burst of applause which lasted until the stage was disclosed again, with the act edgments.

 Thurston's engagement in Birmingham commences tomorrow night at the Bijou, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and it is the only attraction of its class on the road since the retirement of Kellar.
 Young, ambitious and sincere in his work at all times, Thurston now holds the erviable title of being the worlds greatest magician and having the largest magic company in America.
 His company numbers twenty people, all skilled artists, together with thirty tons of baggage and paraphernalia, mean ing a cash outlay of over sixty-five thous- and dollars.
 Thurston's programme of subtle, intri- cate and marvellous creations not only dis arms criticism but entrances and astounds the beholder, who usually goes to magic performance with whole object to criticise and disclose if possible, the magic mans tricks.
 Nothing pleases Thurston more than to meet one of these pessimistic individuals and to show how difficult it is to even detect him in a feat, that he has invented and perfected by years of labor and then notice with satisfaction, the approval of his majestic efforts.

whom Percy has befrended, and the heroine's smiles There is plenty of love- making in the play, and at the crucial moment Percy says T love you just as much as if he really meant 1t. and saves the day The adventures of the hero and the artist with poverty, hard boiled eggs and typical May Vokes slavey, furnish the humor of the first act. Percy invents something and squeezes a million out of his father. He has already won his sweetheart; he wins at every turn. His invention is success from the start. There is a touch of character drawing that makes the lines very natural
 The play, 1t is said. is very capably acted, Lawrence Craddock is intrusted with the leading role and is perfectly at ease in it. He touches the serious tact fully and his scenes with his father the excellent pieces of acting. Among the other playes, Manager Cross has se- locted for his production are Royden Erlynne, Richard T. Love, Will Perry, William L. Boyd, Dorothy Marke, Lena Lorraine, Nadine Reed, Caroline Meyer, Evelyn Ferguson and many others.

The famous Baldwin Melville Stock company will open an engagement of several weeks at the Virginia theatre to- morrow beginning with a matinee in Cumberland 61." and following for the second week in Eleanor Robson's great success, 'Salomy Jane" The company comes here direct from New Orleans, where it has just completed Il long and successful engagement and the same sue cess is predicted for 1t in Birmingham
 Complimentary to the women of Bir- mingham will be the matinee tomorrow afternoon. absolutely free of charge. No man will be admitted to it, neither will a child under 12 years Of age. The ladies will be the guests of the management who desire that they see for themselves that this stock company is even better now than in ti!e past
 Cumberland 6r' is a romantic story woven around a Kentucky feud but void of melodramatic features. The first scene is laid at the West Point Military acad- emy and the others in Kentucky. The stage settings are superb, a church scene in the latter part of the show being of especial beauty. Two scene painters are carried by the company and the scenery and stage settings for each production will be complete in every detail Mat iEees will be given on Monday Wednes- day and Saturday
 The Baldwin Melville Stock company is well known in this city, having played many successful engagements here and their appearance here at the Bijou the atre last year in stock productions wilt be long remembered as being superior in every way to the average high priced company appearing in this city and else where. The company this year. as well as heretofore, is under the personal d. rection of Walter s. Baldwin. and is com posed of the following well known and talented actors who have won fame and distinction in their different lines of work In tho theatrical profession; Miss Louise vale, Miss Pearl Gray, Miss Grace Llv- ingston Miss Franzia Norton, Miss Clara l.eishtor Messrs.

Tim Murphy Returns.

There is one poster that is always wei come. It is the one disclosing the sunny countenance and twinkling eye of Tim Murphy. It is now in evidence and ac- companying it is the announcement that the genial comedian is to appear at the Jefferson theatre next Saturady matinee and night, and will present his latest great success. Cupid and the Dollar" There is no other role in his long list of famous parts which gives his quaint and whimsical art such agreeable scope as the leading part in this comedy. Super icially it is for laughter. Where Tim Murphy Is there dull care is not. But he has a grip on deeper things and he never acts role that hasn't it's founda- ton deep down in the human emotions. There is in this play strong love story which the author has worked out in gripping situations, and all the way along the comedian sprinkles smiles and tears No comedy is worth it's name that has net in 1t somewhere tear. Misery plays remarkable part in the pleasures of life
 ie basis of nearly all good, rollicking plays is the trouble in which the char acters find themselves and the conse- quent misery. Where would you get any fun out of a play in which the people were not in trouble? On the other hand audiences like occasionally to have the troubles of the mimic characters mada so real that they become q part Of their own experience and grip their own sym pathy. It Is then they forget to laugh at them and proceed to cry with them A good deal of laughter and just d few tears Is one of the best known recipes for an enjoyable evening.
 There is no one else on the stage who has surer grip on the emotions of his audience than Tim Murphy. Tn his ceie- brated comedy Cupid and the Dollar. he exercises this art with remarkable effect for though he devotes much of his time to tickling the ribs he often pene- trates the heart
 He has again this season the valuable assistance of Dorothy Sherrod and a long list of players. for the cast of Cupid and the Dollar" Is unusually large. The la dies costuming will be rnodish to de- gree and the pictorial accessories in every way complete. MT. Murphy is under the management of William A. Brady and Louis F., Werba.

by stock companies Notwithstanding the fact that big royalties have to be paid for the right to produce such plays as "Lov- CTS Lane,' Arizona" ''Tribly'' and other attractions that have made big successes, Manager Ritchie states that he is now ne gotiating for the right to produce such plays that have not yet been released to stock companies, and has been given as surance of the first choice of several plays that have not heretofore been witnessed for less than $1.50 admission.
 There will be performances nightly, with matinees on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and although popular prices will prevail each production will be complete, in every detail.
