'rhe Girl From Rector's" will be an
early offering at the Jefferson theatre.

he found that it contained thousands of
unique souvenir postcards which will be
dis ributed during the next ten days.
1.-THE Girl From Rector's'' created quite
a farore when presented for the first
time in gay New York.
Elliott Dexter, who was seen here two
seasons ago with Florence Davis In ''The
Player Maid" and who has later played
with Virginia Harmed and others in that
class. is vending his way to Birmingham
in The Prince Chap" This is beau
tiful story, and Mr. Dexter is said to
have role that gives him every oppor
tunity for the display of his unusual
talents.
Manager Douglas said yesterday that

been announced as an Offering during the
season at the Jefferson. would probably

road fares and a large company would
probably prevent the engagement being
fulfilled.

general tour. 1t struck the road about
the time If the depression and the COM
pany was recalled to New York. The
producing managers thought they had
too much at stake to take any chances.
Times are better now. and the announce
ment comes that this great attraction is
once more en- tour. IT will be at the
Jefferson for two nights and matinee
early In February.
A return of "A Gentleman From Mis-
sissppi." Florence Davis in a new play,
THE Thief" 1.-The American Idea." and
several other good ones are scheduled
for local presentation at the Jefferson

to transport the production Of "The Gold
en- Butterfly from city to city Three Of
these cars are baggage cars carrying the
scenery. costumes and electrical effects,
one Is Grace Van Studdford's own pri-
vate car, and the other two are useed by
the company. Besides the vast array of
singers, Miss Van Studdiford carries her
own orchestra, thrs enhancing the real
value of THE Golden Butterfly music.

as the most elaborate musical comedy

gagement commencing Monday night

The girls of the sun kissed land of
the tropics for centuries have been famed
for their rare beauty their flashing black
eyes, their cherry lips, their 1.-THE, shapely
figures and their dark Spanish type of

seen in Birmingham this week at the
Btjou. Manager Semon announces as the
special bill for the week that whiriwind
Of mirth and melody, in Panama"
The girls of this show are mentioned
particularly because 1t Is tipped that they
are worth such special mention. Not
only were they selected for their natural
beauty, but 1t is said such beauty is en-
HANGED by the superb setting given it In
the rich and picturesque costuming enl-
ployed by the senoritas of Panama. Faith
full reproduction Of such costumes Is
promised in the play I'm Panama" and
realistic types of the Panama girls as
well. f
Mr.. Rich, the manager of the company,
in securing this chorus. Is said to have
spared neither time or money. Not only
are they beautiful, but they make one
of the best singing choruses on tour this
season.
"In Panama" is the Rogers Brothers
big musical success that had run of 800
nights at the Broadway theatre, New
York The production has in no way
been sighted in transferring 1t to the
popular priced theatres, and Is the same
as presented here last season at 81 prices.
Adams and Guhl are playing the prin-
cipal comedy roles and are unusually
clever and mirth-provoking In their an
tics, their humor being of the Infectious
variety and suggestive of the original
the kind that always wins spontaneous
appreciation.
Miss Sibyl Brennan, who is playing the
leading feminine role. was with the COM
pany that played in Birmingham last sea-
