Fer sonally think New Orleans Is the place for the exposition and did everything in my power to bring 1t there"

In fact there is enough comedy in Seven Days of u very diverting kind, to equip three ordinary farce comedies.
 There are all sorts of complications. caused largely by the young woman with prospects masquerading as the wife of the host in order to deceive the aunt into thinking her nephew had never been divorced. Then the former wife begins to get jealous and conveniently arranges a filtration to pieue her eX- husband who immediately begins to take notice. Wild attempts at escape are flu. tile, the household duties are divided by lot and absurditles follow thick and fast, particularly in the efforts of anna teur cooks to provide something to eat.

TEXAS WOMAN FIRES
 WITH DEADLY AIM Tragic Shooting Occurs in Big
 Department Store WOMAN KILLS WOMAN Wife of Fort Worth Attorney Hunts Up Manager of Department in
 Store and Shoots Her Until
 She Falls Dead
WOMAN KILLS WOMAN

Fort Worth. Texas. January 1s-Shoot- tive born Texan, Mrs. T. M. Brooks, wife of prominent local attorney, this after noon fired five bullets from a 3S-calibre revolver into the body of Mrs. Mary Bin ford, department manager of local dry goods store. All of the bullets went true death resulting almost instantly. Both Mrs Brooks and her husband refuse to make statement as to the cause of the shooting.
 The shooting occurred on the second floor of the establishment where Mrs Binford was employed. Making her way through the lower floor Mrs. Brooks smilngly bowed and stopped to chat with acquaintances. As she stepped from the elevator Mrs. Brooks inquired for Mrs. Binford and as the latter appeared Mrs Brooks drew an old-fashloned revolver Mrs Brooks finally freeing herself and forcing the other woman against the wall In the scuffle the weapon was discharged, the bullet ploughing it's way through Mrs. Binford's hand. With her victim at bay Mrs. Brooks stepped backward and fired four times each time aiming at her ad- versarys head.
 The second ball struck Mrs. Binford in the left shoulder. the third one inch higher and the fourth entering the base of the neck severing the spinal vertebrae. Before the woman fell to the floor Mrs. Brooks fired again and this time the ball struck Mrs. Binford behind the ear and came out through the side of the head. By this time shoppers who had wit messed the tragedy were hysterical.
 Making her way through the crowd Mrs. Brooks went to the office of her hus- band two blocks distant AS she hand ed the revolver to MT. Brooks she said:
 .T am sorry" and then tainted
 The waist worn by the dead woman caught fire from the flashes of the re- volyer muzzle and the body was badly burned before clerks regained Nheir pres ence of mind and extinguished the flames.
 Before securing a divorce from her hus- band about two years ago Mrs. Binford was wealthy and very popular. Mrs. Brooks and her husband also are well known.
 Mrs. Brooks waived preliminary trial before a justice of the peace and readily furnished bond in the sum of $10oo0 to guarantee her appearance Tuesday morn ing when an examination will be held.

most nabs him several times In the dumb waiter. There is a great deal of comedy and more than it would be worth while to repeat, but everybody present last night was kept laughing over the absurd situations.
 At the end of the week it is discov- cred that the smallpox scare twas caused by ehckenpox and the weary prisoners all suffering from vaccination. are re- leased but not before the divorcees are reunited and the young woman with prospects regains the lover she thought lost. The fact that there is much of the improbable in Seven Days does not detract from its enjoyment and those who were fortunate enough to see the play last night literally laughed until they got tired.
 A very capable company interprets the various parts, including Herbert Fortier as James Wilson, the host of the week; Edmund Pollock as Dallas Brown, one of the guests: Gordon Burby as Officer Fanngan, one of the most humorous character in the piece; Tex Charwate as the burglar; Grace Atwell as the former Mrs. Wilson; Marcita Esmonde as Anna Brown; Winona Shannon as Kit McNar; Susanne Leonard Westford as Aunt Selina; H. Pell Trenton as Tom Harbinson. All acquitted themselves very well. With so many opportunities they could hardly do otherwise.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight concluding the engagement.

"The Bachelor"

There are about 300 people in Birming- ham who will one year froll this time recall that Paul Gilmore appeared last night at the Shubert in "The Bachelor '' But the recollection will not tend to induce another visit to see him, but quite the contrary. In The Bachelor he does not please the theatregoers here who have always had a sincere admir- alton for MT. Gilmore IS an artist and a progressive on the stage.
 Last night he appeared supported by a company that would not have been surprising with Guy Woodward and Elsie Page along about 1S9i. To have such actors and actresses support a star of MT. Gilmore's former briliance is almost nconceivable.
 MT. Gilmore has been l,ere before in exceptionally well selected plays and has been welcomed But last night he placed a loan at high interest ir Birmingham and he will no doubt see it protested when the forthcoming season rolls around
 Quite number of the 300 above point. ed out became wearied last night and without adding to the discontinue of the others quietly went out to some moving picture shows.
 It is sad to see brilliant intellects and exceptional stars of MT. lsilmore's repu- tation appear with such company or with such play.

Kyrle Bellew has now played Rallies" over two thousand times; but the part plays itself so delightfully."- with every audience that sees 1t, that MT.
