Dave Lewis at BijOu in Don't Lie to
 Your Wife"

| At the Bijou this week Is Dave Lewis, the inlmitable comedia,, in the wonderful musical farce, Don't Lie to Your Wife," | heralded as one or the greatest attrac- tons of the season-the first musical show of the year. There will be mati- nees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday The Nashville Democrat says of the play and players; Somebody must have gotten the tip that Dave Lewis and others of the cast or Don't Lie to Your Wife which open ed at the Bijou Monday night, is a good show; accordingly, the house was filled with better first night audience than seen at the playhouse in weeks, and there was not dissenting vote when the final curtain had dropped but that everybody had certainly gotten run for their money, and a little more.
 First you grin, then you smile. after which you break out into a hearty laugh. and end 1t up with loud guffaw. This applies principally to Dave Lewis. As a laugh producer he has road roller look ing like baby cart. Lewis Is not by himself in the show, either. for there is merit in all of his surrounding company. which is not so very large, but lot of if, individually and collectively.
 The play was written by Campbell Casad a New York newspaper man, which is guarantee that it Is of the live order. It has ginger scattered throughout and 1t snaps with brsSness all the time. It's the story of two mar red men and one about 10 he who get out on a joy ride with three chorus girls, speed too fast, get arrested and then the next day start to explaining to the two wives and fiance by placing themselves voluntarily in the Annanais club without Roosevelt's permission.

Pleasures of Russian Travel

From the New ' Ofk World
 Russia is distinctly. the land of "Nichevo," the country where nothing really matters-a fact which Is prompt- ly impressed upon even the casual trav- eler as soon as he crosses the border. The man who must needs carry with him on journey his own country and all his fixed habits had better remain at home.
 An English writer is authority for the statement that on nearly every rail- way in Russia, including the Trans-Si- berian at Moscow and at Kharbin, after being informed at the ticket office that no sleeping car accommodation was available. q coupe has been forthcoming on the train as the result of largesse to the conductor. On one occasion. boarding the Revel-Petersburg express at Weimarn station at 4 a. m, he was informed by the conductor that there was no room except in the corridor, only to discover that every compartment was occupied by single passenger with a single ticket, each one of whom had paid the conductor for undsputed pri- .Vacy The patience with which the aver age Russian, suckled in the a''Nichevo' creed. endures these things, is at first a source of constant surprise to the for eigner: only race that has borne for centuries with bureaucratic inefhcieney could thus accept them as part of the established order of things immutablc.

"The Blue Mouse"

Emma Bunting is coming back. The dainty little actress who had all Br mingham at her feet just a few weeks ago is the announced attraction for the Biiou for the week of February l9, pre- senting Clyde Fitchs farce comedy, The Blue Mouse"
 Never in the local history of things theatrical has an actress won the theatre goers so quickly as did this little woman. She was an unknown quality to a great many before she appeared on the stage of the Biiou just a little while ago. but ar hour after she had been introduced she had registered the most remarkable hit that has ever been recorded by an entertainer locally.
 The engagement of Miss Bunting in "The Blue Mouse" is going to be one of the big events of the season at the Bi- jou. Already there has been tre- mendous demand for reservations and numerous matinee parties have been booked. The star and the play form a double drawing card that will be hard to resist, even if there was anybody who would try to resist such a temptation.

"The Pink Lady"

''The Pink Lady
 ''The Pink Lady" which will be the offering at the Jefferson theatre Monday, and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee, this week, is particularly happy one, as it brings at this time that wonderfully successful musical comedy to Birmingham. It has been Klaw & Erlanger triumph of the decade which has just closed it's run of year at the home theatre in New York where it remained for few less than 400 performances and was seen by 567,923 people,
 It seems tardy time to introduce '"The Pink Lady to local readers for so much has been heard of it.. and every body is falimiar with one or two of it's delightful numbers, but in all truth less less than 20 cities have enjoyed the pleasure of its presentation upon the To- cal boards. Birmingham is, therefore, quite fortunate in being able to see 1t this early in it's career of established fla vor and brilliant promise
 This happy combination of book lyrics and melodc score written by c. M. s. Mcclellan and Ivan Caryll. The for mer adapted the story after the French farce La Satyre' which ran for year at the Palais Royal in Paris. Georges Berr and Marcel. Guillemaud. it's authors have been signally successful
 MT. Caryll has a number of Gaiety the atre hits to his credit but in none has he given us a work to equal the delights of "The Pink Lady" However. it is in the combination of book and score that 1t really shines for they are interdepend- ent and one heightens the effect of the other.
 As for it's story, .The Pink Lady. has well worked out plot that depends for its humor upon its situations and .clev- .-erly eontrived incidents, It's central fig ure is a docile dealer in antiques in -Paris who allows himself to be dragged into scrape in order to help young fellow out of a predieament. Having once agreed to assume a part not suited to him the further complication de- velops of the innocent dealer being mis- taken for satyr whose escapades have stirred even Paris to excitement From then forward the plot bubbles with all the ingenious happenings that are crowded into a French farce and poor Dcndidier has an awful time. But it is good merry fun and not a suggestion of anything but wholesome. amusement and its surprises are. so frequent that the audience is kept in an uproar.
 Klaw & Erlanger have made a really notable production of this delightful story. Its three scenes are marvels or good taste and color harmony and the bIerding of the costumes into the. scenes but make them the more toneful and effeetives With all these gorgeous de- tailf considered it is not surprising that ''The Pink Lady has enjoyed the most !. phtnomenal vogue of any similar piece { er6f made known to the American stage. <}1A matter of further charm is the fact S Hat 1.-The Pink Lady orchestra comes Y Ifh the organization to bring out every z ftie note and quality of the score.

"The Old Town"

has lost nothing of it's piquancy in the translation into English is that blaze New York theatre-goers demanded a sec ond season of it and that the greater cities of the country have called for 1t a second time in a single season.
 This work begins it's engagement at the Jefferson theatre, Monday, February 26 and remains two nights and a special Tuesday matinee, with the full scenic equipment that has been greatly praised and an unusual organization of players. Werba and Luescher have imported with this Viennese materpiece the mischiey- ous prima donna, Fraulein Mizzi Hajos, who created the title role of the prin- cess masquerading as spring girl, and for whom the part was rewritten from the original by the composer, Heinrich Reinhardt.

Indeed their personal hold upon that popular fancy which is so frequently re- ferred to as Tickle has been demonstrated often and may now be reckoned as a very certain quantity in predicting crowded houses for "The Old Town" when they present il here
 The methods of Montgomery and Stone In winning their auditors to laughter and applause are not always the methods of John Drew and E. H. Sothern The comedy instinct is just as true, though, it's expression utilizing broader and more sharply aceentuated methods Anyhow the public know that Montgomery and Stone are first class artists; that George Ade's whimsical genius can usually be depended upon for the creation of quaint character types and amusing situations; and that Charles Dillingham;, the man agerial sponsor of The Old Town,' in- evitably gives every piece that he pro- duces the advantage of exquisite in- cidental investitude of exquisite in intelligently selected cast. So Montgom- cry and Stone in 'rhe Old Town, would doubtless be greeted with the warmest kind of welcome if the musical comedy were to have it's premier performance hero; but 'The Old Town" comes with record of two entire seasons of un- qualified success divided only between two cities, New York, where it ran for almost a year at Mir. Dillingham's Globe theatre and almost a similar duration at MT. Dillinghams Chicago theatre, the Studebaker, all of which being the case, 1t is safe to assume that the audience which greets Montgomery and Stone will enjoy a most delightful evening.

Critics and laymen alike have voted that "The Bachelors Baby" is one of the most delightful plays seen on the stage in many years. That fl was a play that rode straight to the heart of man or woman. young or old, because of it's one motif the love Of a little child q love which is instinct in all. The bache- Tor Of the story, however is moi of that belief. He believes that children are. pests and anything but a blessing.

This is the universal opinion of every body who has seen William A. Brady S play of thousand laughs. Baby Mine the product of Margaret Mayo's pen, which will be seen here at the Jefferson ginning next Friday. F.

Wm. Hodge in "The Man From Home

About fifteen years ago the manager andz owner of a repertoire. company, playlng the smaller towns in New York state was standing before the. entrance ol the little theatre in which his at fraction was billed to appear that night. He was smoking cigar and wondering whether the rural populace would take ! lIDdly to the array of talent he had brought them. To him came tall voutb with red hair and somewhat sbarn fea lures; with trousers that seemed to have stopped short at the tops of his shoes and some lengths of protruding wrists A conversation somewhat upon these lines took place:
