eBrewster's Millions" at Bijou

Theatregoers and amusement lovers or Birmingham and book-rcaders who are familiar with George Barr McCutcheon s famous fantastic novel, "BrewSter's Mill lions," will be delighted with the an nouncement that Frederick Thompson's elaborate production of the stage version of the celebrated story will appear at the Bijou this week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
 Carl Gerard, the star of this organiza- ton and one of the most finished and spontaneous light comedians on the stage will give his splendid characterization of McCutcheon's prodigal spendthrift, whose compulsory dissipation of a million dollars in a year in order to inherit am other seven million has made the whole country laugh.
 The company supporting Mr. Gerard this season is headed by the charming and winsome young actress, Miss Grace Nile, who won the highest econiums from the critics when she first essayed the character of Peggy" Gray in "Brewster's Millions
 The remaining long list of characters are in practically the same capable hands as last season, including Louise Sanford lane Wallace, Gus Christie, Marguerite Slaven, Arthur H. Ashley and others MT McCutcheon's story has an intensely fantastic scheme It turns the prevail ing mad chase for dollars topsy-turvy and entirely disposes of the. almost uni versal belief that money is essential to either happiness or contentment. The dramatic version of the book was made by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley. The claim is thought to be justly made that the great yacht and Mediterranean storm scene in the third act completely overshadows any other stage picture ever presented.
 Frederic Thompson has amply demon- strated that his name is a sufficient war rant for the public confidence in the mat ter of complete pictorial surroundings and an acting company of the first class.

PLEASANT BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

One OF the most delightful social
events of the past week took place
at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs W. l.
Merwin, 1905 Rudd avenue. a few ev-
cnings ago in commemoration Of the
birthday anniversary of C. y. Heller
of Fowler avenue. East Canon. The af-
fair was complete surprise TO Mr..
Heller and was ali the more enjoyable
to him on that account as well as
to the guests who had assembled to
do him honor.
The affair was planned and executed
by Mrs. Helter. assisted by relatives
and friends, and its great success was
due to the completeness and secrecy
of the arrangements. The evening Of
the celebration Mrs. Helter suggested
to her husband that he have the fam
lily carriage brought out in order that
they might drive over On Lincoln
park to attend gathering Of friends
there. a proposition to which he read
lily consented. At the instance OF Mrs.
Helter they drove to town and stopped
TO see her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Mer-
win. where they found, as the former
had expected. an assemblage OF a
score or more of their more intimate
associates. Mr.. Helter thought the
gathering OF so many people there
little strange, but did not connect
II in any way with his birthday ami
versary; supposing that they had met
there for the purpose of proceeding
with them TO Lincoln park. His as
tonishment is more easily imagined
than described when subsequently in
formed that the AFFAIR was in his hon

made several days before by his wife
and others.

Mrs McManigal In Court.

Mrs. Emma McManigai under went
the ordeal OF another day In court
when she appeared to answer to a cit
alton by Judge Walter on a charge
OF contempt of court
The little woman has aged years
since she was subjected to the torture
by Burns Detectives She bore her
self well and looked her prosecutors
sauarely in the eye. The district at
torney filed an affidavit concerning
her refusal to answer the questions
OF the grand Jury. She had used her
constitutional right in refusing to an
swer but the Burns detectives are
using every effort to get the woman
put in q prison cell where they can
get at her alone. They hope to break
her down In spirit as they have broken
her In health by their prosecutions.
The defense pleaded for more time
and were given four days to make
reply to the affidavits filed by the
prosecution. There is much indig-
nation over the way the woman is be-
ing bounded by the detectives. These
thugs and gun men swarmed about
the woman the minute she appeared

his presence added to the woman's

In speaking OF the case Attorney

to demand that she testify at this
time.
Their action is without legal excuse.

Word has come direct form Scot
land Yard. London. that the whole
story Of Burns making an important
capture OF "Capian" or Schmidt was
a gigantic fake worked up by the de-
tectIve for advertising purposes.
At the district attorneys office it
was limited at the time that Burns
was taxi lns advantage OF his pleasure
trip abroad at the expense of Los
Angeles tax payers. He simply spread
the fraudulent reports and allowed the
yellow American newspapers to do the
rest. Los Angeles newspapers made a
big spread OF the fake story and have
carefully refrained from telling the
truth about the fake.
II is understood Burns will return
via Canadda and 1t is thought he may
avoid the states wherein he is liable
to arrest on the Indictment OF kidnap-
ing in Indiana. Another report is to
the effect he has the Indianapolis

GompeTs Realizes That Cor

By Litigation

II Is doubtful whether the committee
will accept the Senator's suggestion.
The president OF the A. F. OF L.
sprung sensation when he charged
collusion between postoffice inspect
ors and the Burns detective agency.
He said:
Il have information which I shall
submit to the committee within two
weeks showing that a number of post
office inspectors have lent themselves
to the Burns detective agency and
have done such acts asarenotwarrrent-
ed by law"
Gompers also told the committee
about the contempt cases pending
against Mitchell, Morrison and him
self. He severly criticised Justice
Wright for having renewed the con-
tempt charges, and dramatically de-
clared:
Il am aware that the Senate has
not the power to initiate impeach-
ment proceedings That Justice
Wright deserves it, / have no doubt "
He urged the committee to make
''an investigation into whittier i'm
peachment proceedings may be begun
against this Judge"
The committee took no action on
the Wright charges. but decided to
hear Attorney Rappaport, of Indiana
polls, on the Mcnamara case, in the
near future.
