A Brady's Playhouse. will pass its
376th performance tomorrow night leav-
ing an interval of but three weeks be-
fore the 40oth repetition of George Broad

That the early ending of the remerk-

HAMMERSTEIN LOSS
EXCEEDED 1925. 900

Although Oscar Hammerstein announc-
ed at the closing performance last
Saturday at the London Opera House
that he would continue giving opera IN
London another season, 1t is not indi-
Gated that he has altered his mind about
building an opera house IN New York
ard giving opera here the season after
rext. That MIR. Hammerstein would re-
turn eventually was stated in Musical
last week and II may be added
that he has signed contracts with several
Of his artists calling for their appear
ance in opera in New York.
A report from London, dated July ID,
quoted Mr.. Hammerstein as saying that
he had had offers lately from three
American millionaires who stood ready
TO provide him with a handsome opera
house in New York and to. turn It over
to him free of rent provided he would
manage it.
In his speech at the final performance
OF his London season last Saturday,
July 3, Mr.. Hammerstein declared that
his losses for the season exceeded y,.5.-
oo0o. The impresario was loudly ap-
plauded as he appeared before the cur
tain. He said that, in justice to him
self and the public. he must recount
some Of the incidents OF the season.

oh, Lord. whatever happens kesn mn
from gettin' sour" This is one cf the
many optimistic and prayerfuI exnres-
slons of that dear, cheerful souI nW-s
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch. who forms
the central figure in that quaint char
acfer play. dramatized from the book of
tne same name. which will be presented
at the Columbia Theater this week bv
the Columbia Players. augmented to pro-
Vioe Tor the thirty characters that ap-
pear in the comedy.
1t Is a delightful, homeIy and whole
some play. and its characters. Mrs.
Wigs, Mis- Hazy, Mr.. Stubbins, Lovey
Mary, Little Tommy, Mrs. Eichorn. Mrs.
Shultz, Asia. Europena, Australia. and
all the rest Of the immortal Cabbage
Patch, are such real rescripts of life
that they have walked on the stage
bodily from the stories of Mrs. Rice
No more than in the books from which
the play is made is there a compIex
plot. but there are fun and sense ana
broad humanity. wit and wisdom. and
an all-around appeal in Mrs. wiggs
Here, indeed. is an everyday gospel
Of contentment, a rebuke for grunobIers
and an inspiration to every one who Is
striving to exemplify in his own char
scter and conduct the true American
spirit Of never say die" And II is the
cheerful Christian philosophy of this
bright-faced little woman, who seeks
sunshine always behind the darkest
cloud. which grips the heart, chaI-
lenges the admiral ton and charms the
audience at every point in this play of
humble Kentucky life.
The wholesome humor OF this play is
as braceful as 1t is pure besides being
intensely funny. From the moment the
curtain rises on the domestic scene at
the Wigs homestead. otherwise the cab
bage patch, with that bright. cherry, op-
timistic woman ironing out the kinky
curls Of one Of her household cherubs
until the return Of Hiram Stubbins from
his enforced pilgrimage and the recon-
cilfation Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hazy. there is
not dull moment or tiresome situation,
every incident inevitably tending to at
tract the attention and stir the risibili-
ties OF an audience.
Not the least surprising feature Of the
offering will be the casting Of the play,
which will include Julia Blanc as Mrs.
Wigs, Violet Heming as Lovey Mary.
Frances Nelson as Miss Hazy. Virginia
Woodin as Mrs. Eichorn, Carrie Thatch-
er as Mrs. Shultz. Edward H. Robins as
Mr.. Stubbins, John NJ. Kline as Mrs.
Wigs. Godfrey Matthews as Mr.. Bob,

rome Renner as Chris Hazy, George w.
Barbier as II. Hunkerdunkus Jones,
Willard Robertson as the deputy sheriff
John Ellis as Brother Spicer, Stanley
James as Deacon Bagby. Carson Daven-
port as Mr. Shultz, and Arthur Ritchie
as Mr.. Eichorn.

Will NOT LET
TAFT SHAKE
PLUM TREE
He PUT IT OFF TOO LATE
Democrats Will Not Confirm
His Appointments

Washington, D. c., Nov. 25.-Presi-
dent Taft may find 1t difficult to secure
from the senate during the coming
shcrt session of congress the confirm
alton of nominations for important of
f,ts TO be sent to that body. There is
marked sentiment among demo-
cratic senator's now in Washington to
hold up all nominations of consequence
made by the outgoing president.
Democrats who favor this plan point
out that the country Endorsed the
candidates and the policies of their
party and Overwhelmingly repudiated
those of the republican party. The
democratic party has been summoned
to take charge of the government in
its executive and legislative branches,
and therefore the party owes it to it.
self and the country to make this con-
troll as complete as possible. The re-
publican president will remain in of
fee few months longer and the re-
publicans will retain their nominal
control of the senate for the same pc
ricd, but this Is a mere matter of con-
genience.
The democrats, therefore, argue that
the outgoing administration should not

portant executive offices with men
Who presumably will not be in sympa-
thy with the party that the voters have
called to take charge of the govern
ment and to put into effect policies

ocrats now here who advocate the
holding up of Taft's nominations dur
ing the short session point out that
for this course in the outgoing presi-
dents notorious slowness in FLINT va.
cancies. For months he has left open
such important positions as that of the
bureau of chemistry in the agricultu-
raj department, to success Dr.. Harvey
w. Wiley. In other words, the presi-
dent has been playing politics with
important places.
Then there is the case of the Indus
trial commission Of nine members,
created by the late session OF congress
The president has never appointed
these commissioners and democrats
believe his delay was occasioned by
considerations having to do exclusive
ly with his own political fortunes in
the late camnaign. Democrats are
therefore, inclined to the view that
their party should interpose all obsta-
cles possible to the confirmation of i'm
portant nominations made by Presl-
dent Taft. leaving the vacancies to be
filled after March 4 by President Will
son with men in sympathy with the
new regime.

BUILDING
ORDINANCE
WAS PASSED
1T EXTENDS FIRE LIMITS
Demands Made Are Very
Rigid

BY unanimous vote of the members
of council the newly arranged build
ing ordinance for the city was passed
last night. The new ordinance is is
a lengthy document and its reading oc-
cupied about ten minutes.
1t is believed by members of council
The ordinance covers fully the demands
of construction, such as are made in
all the larger cities as regards build
sngs constructed within the fire linn
its. TIE requirements of the ordi-
nance are very rigid.
1t was stated by the members of
council that the best elements of the
building ordinances of Atlanta, Angus
ia, Savannah and Macon are contained
in the Americas ordinance. The ordl-
nance provides for building inspector
who is to be the chief of the fire de-
partment. q.
The hope is entertained by some
members of the city council that the
passage of the ordinance will mark an
entering wedge in the campaign for
lower fire insurance rates. The ordi-
nance provides for the extension of the
fire limits of the city.
Relative to the timeliness Of the or
dinance, Alderman White read the fol-
lowing news story from Waycross,
clipped from the daily press:
Drastic Building Ordinance at Way
cross. Waycross, Ga, Nov. %. (Spe-
cial,)-The first steps toward securing
reduced fire insurance rates for Way
cross were taken today when council
passed a very drastic building ordi-
nance. A building inspector has been
secured to enforce the regulations.
