Stars, Nothing But Stars, at Majestic
Theatre

The past week at the Majestic thea
tire has broken all records at this pop
ular place of amusement. The manage
ment advertised the greatest show of
the season, and 1t Is claimed that. true
to word. it was the greatest sensa-
ton In vaudeville it has yet offered.
Everyone who witnessed the perform
anoe pronounced 1t more than equal to
the standard advertised. Thousands
went to the Majestic and many hun
dreds of people we're unable to reach
the doors, so there is little doubt that
the coming week even greater crowds
will attend.
The shows at the Majestic are said
to have improved weekly, last week
being still better than the week before,
and now the management announces
another great sensation, something alb
solutely new In the vaudeville world
ono of the biggest, most elaborate
musical extravaganzas ever staged.
Two carloads of beautiful scenery, spe-
cially constructed for this production,
and costly costumes will constitute
feature.
After some time spent in an effort
to secure a special attraction for Bir-
mingham. Col Karl Hoblitzelle. pres
ident of the Interstate Amusement COM
pany, decided to deviate from the reg
ular policy of the Majestic for one
week in order that he might express
his appreciation Of the patronage of
the Birmingham theatregoers by CIV
ing them a superb entertainment. Col
onel Hoblitzelle made a special trip to
New York and after witnessing several
musical comedies he selected this COM
pany. He has gone even further and
has improved upon the New York COM
pany by adding a few touches here
and there, making the present show so
strong that it is not possible to make
| 1t greater offering.
| Opening Monday matinee Colonel Hob
litzelle will present 1.-THE Sufragettes"
featuring Billie Friedlander and Nan
tIalperin with a company of 80 peo-
pie. with an unusually strong chorus
of beautiful girls.
Mr.. Friedlander is one of the clever
est performers In musical comedy to-
day and is said to be gifted with a
personality irresistible. Those who are
we'll informed on New York theatricals
will we'll remember Mr.. Friedlander as
one of the most clever comedians III
that great sensational musical produce
ton, "The Midnight Sons" in which he
was featured in all the largest eastern
cities.
| Miss Halperln is also VOL aknoWii
| throughout the east as an exception
ally clever artist. having been connect
ed with some of the largest musical
! productions on Broadway. where for
months her company played to ca
pacity. Thousands of people have been
| delighted with the beautiful voice of
| this dainty little lady. Miss Halperin
always wins immediate favor as the
clear tones ring out distinctly above
the chorus This little soubrItte is
sure to be admired here.
| Last, but perhaps the most interest
| ing to a great many are the clever
comedians. each one being an artist
| in his particular line. They have an
entirely new line Of the latest dope
as it is called, and know just how
to put IL over" in the funniest way.

screaming sensation. The show Is
