MRS. BEECHER
IN LYCEUM COURSE

A significant fact in the Lyceum
course for this year is that the first
mum Der Is to be given by local talent.
Mrs Leonard Beecher Is comparative
~ a new conner to Birmingham, but she
is eagerly and jealousy claimed by this
city.
on November &c at the high school
Mrs, Beecher will open the Lyceum
course with an interpretive reading of
one of the modern plays. There seems
to be a world wide awakening to the
significance of the drama as a medium
through which may be projected an
Interpretation of the spiritual meaning
of modern life. Mrs. Beechers roper
toire includes number of modern
plays, all chosen as embodying "the
idea of tomorrow which is always unan-
swered and always answerable.'
Mrs Beecher is an interpreter. She
makes no attempt to TACT 1t out" In
the commonplace Evolutionary sense and
yet there is something more in her
reading than an account of the literary
quality, the dramatic content and the
art form. Her concern is not so much
with the printed page as with the
blood tnctured, veined humanity. =
which lies behind the symbol. 1t is act
ing OF a certain kind for hers is es-
sentially a dramatic temperament, and
everything that she projects is colored
by feeling, Imaginative sympathy and
dramatic sensibility--an emanation, not
from the intellect alone, but from the
soul.
Rev George Z. Hunt of Madison,
Wis, says, Had Mrs Beecher gone on
the stage as an actress her fame would
have been world wide. She has chosen
the still more difficult role of interpret
ing great human writings. She is max

ing the great characters of the worlds
greatest literature live, walk and de-
liver their messages anew to the world.
To this skill and natural talent add her
beautiful character and her serious pur-
pose and you have the greatest woman
Interpreter in America II not in the
world
William J. Hunt, eminent scholar and
critic, in letter to Mrs. Beecher says,
ut grows upon me that there can
hardly be any more worthy work than
you are doing. To interpret noble lit
erature is to interpret life as seen by
those who saw and lived most worthily.
And to do this successfully as yon do
without the accessories of the stage
and also without the distractions of u
theatrical performance, represents the
highest form of interpretive and dra-
matte art"
For the convenience of those attend
ing the Lyceum arrangements have
been made for special cars to be run
from the center of the city to the high
school before and after the lectures.

WASHINGTON May 2l-=Senator
Francis G. Newlands. of Nevada,
ever since he came to congress. in
the second Cleveland administration,
as q representative from that State,
has taken an intense interest in all
matters relating to waterways and all
its correlated problems. His has been
work of construction, so far as the
laws relating to these questions go,
and he has pronounced ideals look
ing TO comprehensive solution TO
these questions as they relate to the
public welfare. He is pronounced
advocate of free tools on the tioines-
tic commerce of the United States
through the Panama canal.
Il believe that the Panama canal
should be regarded as domestic high

In our domestic commerce it has
been our rule TO place no restriction

government, the tools have been abil-
ished Ne have expended ON our
rivers and harhors over six hundred
millions Of dollars. nearly twice as
much AS the Panama canal, aud yet
the idea would not be tolerated 10
charge tolls for the Use Of such har-
bors or rivers
There is no reason. Of course why
we shiuld not seek ii compensate
ourselves for the Panama expendi-
tnre by exacting tolls from foreign
commerce. Whether we should in
sist upon such tolls for our ships en-
gagged in foreign commerce IL ques-
