Birn1inghdnn's Musical Season

Birmingham is steadily advancing in it's appreciation of good music. Dur ing the past five years many musical celebrities have appeared here although it has been only within the past two or three years that artists could count on drawing large audiences. The sea- son just ended has been the best of all and nearly every attraction presenetd drew well.
 A review of the more important mu sicai events of 1910-11 includes the following: Louise Homer, opera prima donna Gruppe. cellist and Frank Gun ster, tenor, under the auspices of the Music Study club; Tibaldi, the young English violinist, and Madame Fornia of the Metropolitan Opera company in joint recital McMillen, violinist, and Birdice Blye, pianist, in recital, all under the nagement of Mrs. Cathey of Memphis; the Bessie Abott Opera company in La Boheme," with its own excellent orchestra; the Russian dan cers, with superb orchestra; the Bir- mingham Oratorio society, Adolf Damn Petersen, director, in concert; the Treble Clef club, William Gussen, di- rector, with Mrs Marie apletonMurray in solo numbers; Ernest Hutche- son in piano recital Liza Leh- mann and her famous quar- tette; Maud Powell, violinist, and J1dTfy r ellOWS. leHOI, uHueI lIlG aus pices of Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr. And the season closed with a grand music festival of five concerts directed by Victor Herbert Herbert's orchestra was d popular feature and among the soloists were Madame Schumann- Heink on two of the programmes, Mrs. AL drich, who played the entire B flat minor concerto by Tschailxo wsky; Evan Williams, tenor; Frank CroXton, basso; Mrs Kimball, sopranos, Mr. Wheeler, baritone; Miss Smelling. contralto, and Mir Fellows, tenor. The festival as- scmblng as it did a larger number of high class artists than usual was the most expensive ever undertaken here. All the concerts were we'll attended and there was only a small deficit.
 As rich in an artistic way as was the season now ended the next season promises to be even better; but when 1t comes to the 1912 festival it is prac- tically decided that instead of five con- certs there will be only three-two nights and a matinee. A festival of five performances wearies even the

The family with young children that lis without sickness in the house now and then is rare. and so 1t Is important that the head of the house should know what to do in the little emergen- icies that arise. A child with serious ailment needs a doctor. 1t Is true, but in the majority of instances as Sany doctor knows. the child suffers from some intestinal trouble. usually con- stipation. =, There is no sense in giving it pill or a remedy containing an opiate, nor lis flushing of the bowels to be always recommended.

Harry Lauder, the great little Scotch comedian who is as well known here as abroad was recently a guest at a dinner given in London by Sir Henry Dalziel to his parliamentary friends, amongst whom were the prime minister and the master of Flibank.
 In view of the fact that the mines bill was before the house of commons, Lau- der seized the opportunity in an in- tensely human speech to make a power full plea for the better treatment of the pit ponies, in whose welfare he is deeply interested, having himself worked for 10 years in the mines. The story of how his pit pony once saved his life was told in graphic manner.
 It was a unique spectacle to see, the little comedian speaking from a raised dais and surrounded by crowd of lead ing politicians, urging the need for greater inspection and more stringent methods being provided for in the new bill. A leading member of parliament was heard to remark that the speech was worth two dozen deputations. Sub sequently Lauder was introduced to the prime minister, with whom he had long conversation. Lauder is thinking of addressing a meeting in Albert hall on the subject, and has 1t in his mind to invite the prime minister to take the

New York, June 1o.-(specia1.)-As has often been stated there is a demand for new dramas. new sketches, new comedies and new comic operas The supply is far below the demand.
 Managers of stock companies all over the United States are on a hunt for new plays They are willing to pay any reasonable royalty authors may name if theys may only get the pieces that are new and catchy.
 . The stock managers were never so thoroughly "up against it. for plays as they are today. This condition is at tributable to the audiences who demand the best in the way or offerings, but it is also attributable in a great degree to the managers thmselves. They have ed- ucated the audiences up to a state where the demand for the best the theatrical market affords comes as a natural con- sequence.
 George I Stegner of Savage and Jordan offices where booking of plays is done, talked interestingly on the subject
 "rhe stock situation today" said MT Stegner. lis a different proposition from what it was 10 years ago. There are now some 125 legitimate dramatic stock scattered throughout the coun- try wher, 10 years ago. there was about half this number. Nor does this include the musical stock companies of which there is very near a like number. This 1ourishing stock condition was only equalled many years ago when the stock nearly all of the well-known actors ap- peared somewhere at some time or other with the stock companies for their sup porting casts"

While Marc Klaw was in London re- gently on a flying trip arranging for an English production of "The Pink Lady" he had a few things to say aside from that musical comedy. In an interview which appeared in the Standard and Westminster Gazette, Klaw said some things worth reproducing.
 Asked about the drama of London, he replied:
 q think we are making greater head way in the United States in serious drama than you are here, but I discern Your women smoke fewer cigarettes in them and the men talk less about bridge and play less.
 You people here can strum longer on one string than anywhere I know out side of Chinese orchestra. What I cannot understand is why you are con tinually catering to that handful of peo pie known as the West Enders. All your plays seem to invite them and you forget that great middle class which supports the drama, as it does everything else in London as well as. everywhere else You overlook them entirely, leav ing their entertainment to music halls, which as a consequence are declaring the biggest dividends.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-There's a
fine boom in the coronet bust
ness just now. All the noble
brows of England are being meas
ured for the stuff with which they
will be adorned at the coronation
of King George next June.
Toppers, bowlers and cloth caps
are much more comfortable, even
for ducal wear, as a usual thing,
but no titled person will omit the
opportunity to wear all that's CON-
ing to 1T when royalty officially
prunes its plumage. kind hearts
are more than coronets," wrote one
A. Tennyson, but even he donned
a cornet when 1t was proffered..
So there's a great running about
in the upper circles. Some few will
probably furnish up the old coro-
nets worn at King Edwards cor
onation. Most are rushing off to
Bond street, however, for strictly
new and stylish headpieces.
1t must not be supposed that all
coronets are alike. III you are up
In that sort of thing you can tell
at a glance the difference between
a dukes coronet and a marquis !,
and an earl's and viscount's. and
a simple baron's. 1t all depends on
the number and arrangement Of
gold and silver balls raised ON
points and strawberry leaves.

the top. The humble barons know
their proper place, but they know
their rights, too, and there would

There are some people who sell
their own lands to go see those of
other men, but that was not ne
cessary for the 1000 who went to
California last night by the Ia
coma theater route over the Har-
liman lines.
The Hartman railway sent up
Frederick w. Prince for a travel
talk. Prince is a prince of an
entertainer and he had some of
the finest pictures ever seen. He
took the 1000 Tacoma people who
assembled for the free lecture
through California and made
them almost think they were right
there.
Next summer he will talk for
Tacoma in California and interest
people there in the Northwest.
