Paris and Vienna, for the booking of foreign novelties and attractions.
 MT. Beck and this circuit has done more, 1t is claimed, than any other ele- ment to develop and expand this popular form of entertainment, for with the irI- creased number of weeks 10 offer it has attracted to vaudeville class of artists who heretofore confined themselves to the ,so-called legitimate field, and Euro- pean artists new to America have been interested through an entire seasons consecutive bookings here.
 During his visit to Birmingham last week MT. Beck expressed himself as much pleased with the local outlook and he hoped Birmingham would like the sort of amusement the Orpheum trade mark stands for. He said, too, that the opening weeks would be, Tn a way, ex- perimental and that the class of per formance would depend entirely upon the preference of the Birmingham public. as a vaudeville programme is entirely hex- ible and can be altered to suit locality within a short time. Accordingly the likes and dislikes of our audiences will be carefully studied, as the Orpheum's s policy Is to give what the people want, with this important fundamental motto which has always influenced the Or pheum policy-''paying particular atten- tion to the entertainment, comfort ana safety of ladies and children.
 The Orpheum circuit engages, owing to it's size, more vaudeville artists, for eien and native, than all the other cir cults in America combined and the list to select from for here will be varied ana distinguished Among some of the well known artists and novelties now to De found in the Orpheum theatres through out the country are, Alice Lloyd, Anna Laughlin: "Charles The First the im- ported nearly-human chimpanzee; Cap tain Auger & Co.,; Tom Nown, Julius Steger, Mile. Dazzle, Edwin Stevens, Min nie Seligman, Circumstantial Evidence, Chip and Marble, William H. Thompson and company; Nonette, Mabel Bardine and company, Lily Lena, Hymack, Mabel Hite and Mike Donlin, Eiita Proctor Otis, William Greasy and Rianch Dayne' Walter C. Kelly, Thomas Jefferson. Ser nordi. The Original Geisha Ballet Yvette Guf1bert, La Pia, Laddie Ciin' Valerie Bergere, Bessie Wynn, Helen Grantley and hundreds of other lmpor- tant and pleasing features of every style and variety. .

An attraction that will arouse the keenest interest here will be the presenta- tion of the new Blossom and Herbert com ic opera, "The Red Mill," by Martin and Emery Co.'s organization. which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre Saturday (Christmas) matinee and night.

the Lady Detective Sherry Holmes" !" Lew Kelly, whose characterization of Professor Dope" was 50 pronounced a hit in tho first edition, is still playing the role. Eddie Judge, the diminutive acro- bat who played Casey the Dog," is again on the job. Sandy Chapman, he with the silver voice, w.ll be heard in new ballad selections and specialties. It never matters what a Ward and Vokes show is about, because it is fun, the music and the pretty chorus girls which attract, and all this will be found in profusion at the Bijou next week.
 A particularly attractive feature of the musical portion of ''The Promoters' last year was the Ward and Vokes ladies band, and 1t Is promised that these tal- ented girls are still with the company and to be heard in an all new speciality of up-to-date band music. Lucy Daily has a new song entitled Betsy Bolivar" in which she touches on all the topics of the day locally, and in which she Is credited with the most artistic charac- terization of her brilliant career. The Ward and Vokes show this year prom ises to be unusually tempting.
 The matinees of the week will be on Tuesday and Thursday as usual and the Christmas holiday matinee on Saturday. There is a performance every night.

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP.

Father Kelly of Philadelphia, the robust young priest, never fails to visit "Check- ers'' during the plays occasional Visits to the Quaker city When asked why he frequented a play in which the hero was successful in gambling at the races, Fath- CT Kelly replied, Because of the human nature of the play It is true there is gambling. and gambling should not be encouraged. but Checkers gambling in the play Is prompted by an honorable motive, and that it rings true is proved by the storm of applause which bursts from the audience when his horse wins. Checkers will be seen In this city again shortly.
 "The Cat and the Fiddle will visit the Jefferson theatre again this season. IL is musical extravaganza that will ap- peal to every one. The musical numbers include "Rosey Dreams a comedy duet, conversation song and dance, I've Never Been Introduced to You by the Poster Girls;'' Mother Goose's Fables
