Rose stshI In 1.-THE Chorus Lady"

Rose StshI In 1.-THE Chorus Lady"
After an absence of several years, part
of which was spent abroad, Rose Stahl
returned to Birmingham last night and
gave her realistic portrayal of Patricia
O'Brien, the slangy chorus lady In the
play of that name by James Forbes
THE Chorus Lady" Is one of the unique
dramatic offerings of recent years and
has been remarkable success wherever
presented. In the leading role Miss Stahl
seems to have found marked congeniali-
ty and 1t is superfiuous at this late date
to say how wonderfully well she enters
into the spirit of the part She is equal
ly good in the comedy scenes and in the
scenes that border on tragedy. Patricia.
O'Brien is only chorus girl in a cheap
Durlesque company, wise in the ways
of the world and proficient in the use of
slang, but she is true and proves her
innate womanliness by the plucky strug-
gle she makes against an unprincipled
man of wealth who has her young sister
IN the tolls. The characters of the part
are all interesting and the dressing room
scene is particularly rich in types, but
1t is the chorus lady who Is drawn with
bold, convincing strokes.
Miss Stahl has this season several play
ers who were in her company on the &C.
casion of her first visit to Birmingham.
The star was given excellent support last
night and the performance was quite ss
good as the first time given in Birming-
ham. Alice Leigh Is still playing the
part of Mrs O'Brien and she fits 1t ex-
ceedingly well. Isabel Goodwin as Norah
O'Brien, the weak sister of the strong
minded pat" Walter Pennington as
Dick Crawford Wilfred Lucas as Dan
Mallory, Kenyon Bishop as the ward
robe woman, Claire Lane as Sylvia Simp-
son and Giles Shine as Patrick O'Brien
appeared to advantage.

might accept wager that Fraser will not live six months, much less become member of the Pelican squad if the
 proper odds are given.
 Just why Rohe and Hess stood up and | allowed Bowen's bunt to roll along the
 foul line in the third round Is a mat ] ter they can fully explain better than us.
 Otto Hess turned scarlet after Raftis I planted one over the fence. That hit i sewed up the game like Grand Mother
 use to put the buttons on our trouser- lets.
 Henline's fast fielding on Huelsmans drive to the fence in the fifth round made the Pelican gardener an easy out at second. Henline is there with the foot and the whip. It's hard for one to i get away from a fielder thus equipped. Hepline made a corking good rum ming catch of Weimer's long drive in the seventh round. It looked like it's destination was the left field fence, but "Henny" was there with the speed thing to camp under it.
 We understand that Breitenstein has ordered several new bats made. If 1t l shall help to drive safeties we respect fully submit the suggestion on part of local fandom to get new sticks for the enire team.
 Bowen gave an exhibition a la Rector, l doing a 100 yards in 70 flat in the sev- enth inning. He beat out a bunt and hurriedly stole second and third. That slide around Rohe's reach was some veal. too.
 Rohe was guilty of a fragrant error on Raftis' grounder in the sixth. The Pelican third baseman waited for the ball to roll to him. Go after 'em boy, don't wait or a fast runner will beat 'em out.
 Charley Frank yelled for Moran's at tentlon from the bench in the eighth round. Franks complaint was that Fle- harty's foot was not on the rubber. We did not see the doings. Guilty, one we missed.
 Manager Molesworth stated before the game that his team was composed 1 of youngsters who are fast and an ambitious lot of men. Good news Gladys We hope you will begin to ascend toward the top rung. Looks bet ter to have all of 'em fighting 1t out.
 In our opinion regarding the Nash vile and Little Rock teams are in the race by themselves so far as the South ern league pennant is concerned we re- spectfully mention the Barons for third place or better should they play the article of ball as was put forth yester- day.
 The Baron infeld was like stone tl, Bill Raftis was some pumpkins at third bag while Ellam and Bowen did their share of the work, Gygli scooped sev- eral out of the mud His work re- minded us of Frank Chance. the peer less leader" of the Champion Cubs.

GRANT SCHOPP LOST IN SWAMP
 FOR MANY HOURS
ENDEAvoRlNG TO REACH BIR- MINGHAM, POPULAR TWlRLER, CHECKED BY WATER AT MERI- DIAN, AND PLANS ARE UPSET.

Grant schopp has just undergone a narrowing experience.
 Tuesday from New Orleans Manager Molesworth sent the pitcher to Birming- ham in order that he might obtain a rest before the game scheduled yesterday in Birmingham against Nashville, which game at that time it was intended that Schopp would pitch.
 Well, Schopp mounted the A. G. S. and went to bed. About day he was awak- ened by a great noise, and looking around saw nothing but water.
 This was below Meridian.
 It was then necessary for the A. G. S to get it's passengers to Birmingham in the best manner it could. So Schopp was sent through the country in an effort to catch Louisville and Nashville train bound for the Magic City
 He caught the Louisville and Nashville at Hattiesburg Wednesday night, and on this train he found the Barons, from whom he had separated about 40 hours before.

The Barons and the Nashville Nolun- teers reached Birmingham on the same train yesterday at noon.
 But the game scheduled for the after noon could not be played on account of a heavy rain, which left the diamond in a soggy and boggy condition.
 So Nashville left for home last night, and this afternoon Birmingham tackles the tribe of Mique Finn which tribe, in- cidentsIly, is leading the league by a good margin.
 In case the rain permits, games will be played this afternoon, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.
 The invasion of the east by the teams of the west begins today.
 No game was played in the Southern league yesterday. With the exception of Sundays, it is probable that such sim liar occurrence has never happened in Dixie.

admits that one or more needs a little more experience in the art of twirling.
 t was indicated by Molesworth last night that unless Robinson returns no one would be cut adrift. The Age-Herald doesn't feel as optimistic as the manager in this respect, but is willing to admit that the manager is the man to operate the team and not itself.
 Manager Molesworth, furthermore is highly elated over the showing made by his youngsters on the recent road trip. He figures himself as strong as any other manager, and predicts that Birmingham will show well this season.
 Moesworth believes the infield stronger than any other in the league
 Gygl Bowen, Ellam and Raftis, in his opinion, are starring.
 All are exceptionally good he declares. and is very careful not to give one more fiattery than another.
 They are fielding like fiends," the man. ager states "and each Is stinging the ball. l have seldom seen a quartet faster on the bases"
 The hitting slump of the outfielders is not discouraging to the manager or the players. Henline perhaps, Is the only gardener hitting in his class. 300. but it's a cnch that Molesworth and Mo- GllVraY Will be there when the bugle blows in September.
 Recently considerable criticism of the Baron lineup has reached the office of The Age-Herald.
 Now, Molesworth Is manager of the team, and he places the men in that order which he considers best
 Moesworth is leading off because he gets on bases. even now when he Is not hitting as often as any other member of the club.
 Moesworth is an excellent waiter, and a base on balls in the first inning often means a score.
 And then. Molesworth is going to hit a little later on, and you know 1t.
 Mque Finn reports today
 Up to the present moment the Trav- elers have set the league on fire.
 With the exception of pitchers, Finn seems to have first rate aggregation. Whether his twirlers can continue the rapid pace they are setting at the pres ent time remains to he seen.
 Finn is good fellow himself. and has the dandiest set of moustachios that a beardless lad ever envied. H. w. R.
