LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wants Dark Cigar Wrappers
Q the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 l noticed in your paper of the 10th an argument in regard to dark and light cigars l am a big smoker. smoke from 12 to f5 cigars day. I will state, all though the wrapper Is one-fifteenth part of the cigar, the dark cigar is the strong est. The light cigar tastes like burning paper to those who smoke dark cigars. just had a letter from the Frolichsten Cigar Manufacturing company, Mobile, Ala. stating they will have dark wrap pers and send me the dark cigars I or dered two weeks ago. Give me a. dark cigar, no matter what the light cigar seller thinks. Yours,

"At the Mercy of T1berIus-

"At the Mercy Of Tiberius,'' a drama tized version of the novel by the same name, was presented at the Biiou last night by a competent and well balanced east
 Miss Eleanor Nonteli asunles the role of Beryl Bretano. and 1t Is one of the best that she has attempted. As the winsome heroine she makes q picture to delight the eye. Miss Montell is a talented actress and demonstrated 'her ability as such last night. She has a beautiful voice and good stage presence. In the dramatic moments of the play she Is fully. up to require ments.
 John Webb Dillon plays the part of Lcnnox Dunbar, the lawyer who is known as "Tiberus." on account of his hones- ty. He is a stroug, virile actor, and plays his part ably.
 Much could be said of the work of Ed mund Roberts as Beryls brother. It is not until the last act that the real oppor- tunity of the part comes. In the pathetic scene of looking back over a past life that has been wasted and knowing that he is dying, MT. Roberts is superb. Law renee Atkison does good work as General Darlington. and Louis Thiel adds much variSH' to the play by his conception of Judge Dent. In the last act he also ap- pears to advantage.
 The comedy of the play is furnished by Lew Warner and Miss Virginia Bray, as two old coored servants. They do 1t in a very laughable manner. They are de- cidedly out of the ordinary and approach more to the real negro than any seen at the Bijou for some time.
 The entire company is worthy of men

"Ben Hur,

The booking of Gen Lew Wallace E "Ben-Hur'' at the Jefferson theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Decem- Der 15. 10 and r, brings freshly to mind the extraordinary career of his novel Published by the Harpers on November F, 1880. the book for the first year of it's existence showed no signs of popularity; nor did its sale improve much in the sec ond year. Then it began to grow and has grown steadily until now, 30 years after it's first appearance, the sale is greater than it has ever been. The book sue ceeeded on it's own merits and made it's way not only with the American public, but with the people of many other eoun- tries in which foreign translations have been printed.
 It goes without saying that the forth coming visit of "Ben-Hur'' to the Jeffer- son theatre will surpass in point of bril- liancy and box office receipts all former presentments of the drama in Birming- ham, magnificent as they have been. In addition to the three evening perform ances, there will be special matinee on Saturday, December IT.
 Seats for the engagement went on sale yesterday morning, and the sales are al- ready very large.

Nothing has been spared in securing scenic effects. and the last act is very beautiful, showing as 1t does the lonely mission of All Angels far up in the Can adian Rockies. The scenery is impress sive as well as beautiful, and distinct stir is felt through the audience as the curtain rises--a tribute to the beauty of the scene,
 While the play cannot be compared with it's companion, "St. Elmo it is we'll done and worth seeing. There Is the same dei- icacy of touch in both plays that shows the greatness of the author and Vaughan Chaser has done exceedingly well in his drama tization of the work.
 It is expected that "At the Mercy of Tiberius" will prove one of the best drawing cards of the season al the Bijou.
