Forbes Robertson Coming Here

Forbes Robertson, the famous English actor. continues his itinerary to this city where he is to be seen at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday, April 3, matinee and night in Jerome's Passing of the Third Floor Back" Nothing so full of spiritual beauty, so indicative of the power that one life exerts upon another has ever been seen on the stage. The strength of personality and all for which 1t may count in uplifting humanity is the spe- cial appeal of the play, It introduces types accurately drawn and acted that they give an, impression and an atmosphere of realism that is seldom at tained.
 There are three acts, divided into pro- logue, play and epilogue: the one set

VIOLA ALIENS SUPERB co.
Cast of "The Herfords" Made Up
 Largely of Stars

Not only will next Thursdays per formance at the Jefferson theatre be of unusual interest in that it will be the very first performance in this city of a new and important play. and that 1t will show Miss Viola Allen. one of the finest and most popular of Amer lean stars in a new role. but it will bring to the attention of Birmingham theatregoers what is probably the strongest acting company of the sea son. There are seven important parts ir "The Herfords," Miss Viola Aliens new play, and each of these parts is acted by player of stellar rank. In fact. most of the players participating have recently known what it means 70 have ones name blazoned out in electric letters In front of the theatre In which they are appearing. It is really more nearly an "all star" cast than many of the companies that are billed in thai way.
 Tn the part opposite Miss Allen is Charles Waldron, the powerful young actor who created the role of the hero in "The Fourth Estate,' winning a splendid success. Then mere is George Tawcett, who, after scoring big hits in such parts as Phelan in "The Man of the Hour" and Big Bill in "The Squaw Man" starred for several sea sons in "The Great John Canton" The only other male memper of the cast is John Westley, who made his first hit in the part of the boy in 'The Three of Us" which, by the way, was the first play by Rachel Brothers, who wrote "The Herfords,' to have been produced and has since been featured in the leading parts i- plays like "The Upstart," "The Family" etc.
 The ladies of the company are no less we'll known. Besldes Miss Allen there is Grace Elliston. who created the part of the heroine in "The Lion and the Mouse" and who starred on Broadway a few seasons ago in a play called "Jacquelne;" Jessie Izette, who used to be Arnold Dalys leading lady, and who followed Eleanor Robson in the title role of Salomy lone; Miriam Collins and Florence tonns.
 Usually an actress of Miss Allen 8 rank thinks 1t unnecessary to surround herself with high prced actors, as ,her own name is considered sufficient to draw the crowds to the theatre. Miss Allen, however. has always believed that the fair thing to her audiences is to present at all times the best cast obtainable. When she appeared in "The Christian" the late Edward Morgan. John Mason, Frank keenan, the late Jamesan Lee Finney and other well known actors appeared with her. In "rhe Eternal City" Mr. Morgan. E. NJ Holland and Frederick de Belleville had leading parts in her support. She toured in The White Sister" with James o'Neill, William Farnum and Minna Gale. Her company in "The Herfords," including as it does Messrs. Waldron, Fawcett aru Westley and MissesElliston. Izette and Collins, com pares favorably with eAy of these not able organizations of the past.

 The Eugene Trio makes the third head liner. and 1t Is a feature that will shine brightly on any vaudeville bill. The act includes three men on the triple horizon tai bars. Their sensational and daring feats have never been accomplished by any other similar act in vaudeville and the team draws a large salary. In fact It is one of the most expensive acts that the Orpheum has ever offered. A funny clown makes the act a comedy through out.
 Dick Miller offers a singing speciality giving in addition character impersona- tions in song. He has good voice for singing such songs and his act in Nash vile was received with much applause and greatly enjoyed.
 The fifth act of the bill Is Usher and Whiteclff, man and a woman, neatly and attractively dressed, gingery aud clever in every way. The comedysis said to be refined and pleasing in every way, and Miss Whitecliff is reputed to be a pretty woman. This act gives the bill plenty of good music this week.
 There are matinees every afternoon et the Orpheum, with two performances nightly. The motion pictures which are shown At every performance are a feature of the bill They are said to be the pest pictures that Birmingham has ever seen, and there is a complete change every week The music Is also greatly enjoyed at all times and is a distinct feature

CAREER FOR WOMEN
"Yes," Says Miss Allen; "No," Says
 Charles Waldron
By PHOEBE DWIGHT

You couldn't help agreeing with her. She looked so charming as she stood there in the light which streamed from an open door, her gown of gold threaded blue satin lifted daintily above slippers of gilt, her face so sympathetic and beau tiful. raised slightly. as if to urge her plea the more strongly
 Miss Allen was discussing the problem of the play, "The Herfords.'
 And the problem is just this-has q wife and mother the same right to a career that her husband has?
 "why should iiot a woman enter the professions?" Miss Allen was asking ''She is fully as capable as a man. Many of the brightest minds in the history of the world have been those of women lawyers, teachers, scientists. Take Miss Brothers, the author of The Herfords, for instance She is competing in a pro- fession which is entirely new to her sex, and yet in addition to writing this hu- man play she directed the rehearsal and gave the company invaluable assistance. When the managers left the rehearsal to the author and that author woman, they paid high compliment to the sex.
 'I do not of course, believe that a woman can compete with men in all walks of life,' Miss Allen smiled winningly. '.That is absurd. There are some voca- fons which are essentially masculine, as there are some completely feminine, But men have successfully invaded wom- ans sphere at some points; they cook, they make our hats and gowns. and do it well. Shall rot woman invade mans sphere when she feels her power to do so?"
 Miss Allen nodded her head slightly. in answer to her own question, and then added;
 But when a woman mafries her duty 10 her husband should be her first con sideration If he is sympathetic with her work l see no necessity for her to give it up. When children come their well fare must be paramount, and ifaa moth .er's career inter feres with their success ful bringing up. it is far better to give up the career Don't you agree with me?" Hasn'. a woman a right to a ca reer? Miss Allen smiled at Charles Wal dron. her leading man, as she answered her cue.
 But MT. Waldron shook his head. He Is big and simple and genuine
 '.I am afraid I don't agree" he de- clared as he selected chair and set tied into it.
 .'On the question of feminine careers. there can be no two opinions by the man who is fond of women. There is just one answer. Woman, who is made for two things, is neglecting the most im- portant if she devotes her life to a ca reer in art, or anything else. The woman whose duty it is to reproduce a giant race has quite enough to do. Occasion- auv. I will admit, there are geniuses among women. In that case. the woman must sacrifice herself to the genius. But r<Henber because a woman can't paint or write. 1t doesn't mean that she cannot

What Inspired Klein

Sitting In a dingy steamship waiting room. with gendarmes. peasants and naughty Parisian danes passing, or loung- ing about, Charles Klein, while waiting for a steamer at Marseilles, France. re- ceived the inspiration for his latest dra- matic product 'The Third Degree" Mir. Klein, with his wife, had just completed tour of provincial Britain and was bound for Cairo, Egypt Upon their ar rival, as Is MT. Klein's custom, he visited the offices of the American consul at Marseilles, and requested him to for ward such mail as arrived to Cairo, and with his pretty little wife boarded the steamer "Sergipe" at the Lloyd Brazil eiro quay.
 As the gang plank was being hoisted a messenger came running down the pier shouting for Mons. Klein" MT. Klein. a perfect linguist, answered the call. and the messenger. from the consul's office. tossed him a parcel of mail and several newly arrived American papers just in from Cherbourg.
 The steamer was well out to sea when MT. Klein spread the, papers out in the smoking salon and began reading the telegraphic matter. Wrong Man Ex- ecuted for Crime read one headline; Guilty Man Confesses on His Death Bed,'' it continued, and this particularly attracted MT Kleins attention. Calling his wife, he outlined the drama to her. with the plot hinging around a young man wrongfully accused. forced to con- fess through extortion or sweating. as one of the severe processes of the third degree is termed.
 Mrs. Klein, who is always the censor of MT. Kleins aspirations, approved the idea and when the famous dramatist reached his hotel The Sheppard at Cairo, his mental notes had been transferred into the scenario of what has since proven to be the most interesting dra- matic document yet contributed. The first act was written while the Kleins were en route to Germany. the second act during the long trip. from Southampton to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where they spent a month. It was at the beautiful hotel Amenida, opposite the Monroe Peace Palace. in Governador Praca at Rio that the third act was completed and during the trip from Rio to New York on the steamer Tennyson that the play reached a finality. Thus, written in half dozen countries. on several seas and many rivers. the play is termed by Mir Klein my polyglotical play" and as it is about to be produced in French and German, Mir. Klein seems to have given it its proper tile.

Hagar's Prayer

Give me neither poverty nor riches, was Hagars prayer. It was wise petition. If you are in the depths of dire pow erty life can offer little or nothing The sordid struggle for a hand to mouth existence overwhelms the high est and best in you.
 Similarly, if you are very rich, the abundance of your wealth overwhelms the best and highest that Is in you
 You agree as to the first?
 But deny the second?
 Note this: He who is very rich must always be alert against the machina- tions of the shrewd, else the shrewd will surely get portion of his surplus Fearing lest men rob you shuts up the bowels of your mercy and puts you out of touch. 1t In proffered friendship? Are things being done for your sake or your moneys sake?
 On the other hand
 If you are poor your friends are real friends. Common folk look well after one another in times of stress.
 Moreover If you are very rich your wealth will expose you to every sort of disagree able notoriety. When your forty-sec- ond cousin makes a scandal he Is ex- plotted in the black headlines of the newspaper as the near relative of tht rich Mr. On the slightest provo cation your family history is repeated for the delectation of the multitude. Besides Your efforts to hold on to your money are as sordd as those of the poor fel low who grabs at mere subsistence Nothing in your heavy labors to hold or to accumulate makes. for joy oi character.
 Work for a living is a blessing 1T disguise. It makes for character ant happiness. It Is a panacea for sorrow It may appear to be irksome anc grievous, but there Is in 1t joy thal comes in no other way. Oh, my friend, I could give you many reason why you should ferventl5 pray the prayer of Hagar Nevertheless, you say, Give mo the riches"
 To be frank, who speak to you hav' said the same, but It is better to earn living than tC be poverty stricken. It is better to bs happy than to be rich.

As a aMn Thinketh

Looking for trouble?
 It scarcely seems true you should be looking for something you do not want. Nevertheless a lot of people do that.
 And there is Scripture warrant for the statement that you will find that which you diligently seek.
 Some persons are in life long bond age to the fear that something unto ward may happen them. Which Is mighty handicap, because
 Fear Is an invitation to trouble.
 He who constantly fears that some i'll or inffliction or loss may occur Is meeting trouble more than half way going out to meet 1t. He is laying down the fence to give trouble an easy access.
 When calamity leaps the low place you have left In the wall can you call 1t an intruder? Fear Is weakness. Hope Is strength.
 Much depends upon whether you face the world with the weakness of fear or the strength of optimism. Because we are learning more and more the truth of that saying in the old book
 "As man thinketh in his heart so Is he" If you keep the fear thought in your heart 1t is likely to issue In something fearsome, whereas If you cherish the hope thought 1t is likely to issue in the strength that overcomes. Sickness? If you go about fearing lest you be sick you will probably will become sick Weakness of your mental forces will open the door to physical ills. Bs- cause
 He who fears Is likely to lose his head. and he who loses his head loses his health.
 Your family? If you are forever haunted by the dread that some infliction may come upon your loved ones you weaken the strong arm that defends them, the brain that plans for them, the heart that beats for them.
 Your business?
 If you are looking for some detrment to your business the fear of 1t will weaken the powers you are depending on to make the business successful.
 It Is so of everything.
 There Is plenty of trouble in the world without your organizing an ex- petition in your mind to go looking for 1t.
 Look for happiness.

Whistles and His Door Opens

From the ChlCagO IrIDune.
 There is in London a man who surely must combine the two characteristics of laziness and invention to a remarkable degree It Is his custom to have his breakfast in bed, and, burdened with the trouble of getting out of bed for the purpose of unlocking his bedroom door, he has invented door which opens to his whistle.
 He has accomplished this somewhat re- markable feat by means of a simple cleo tromagnet which draws the bolt when a current passes through it, platinum point, and piano wire attuned to a cer- tain note. When this note, or one of its ootaves, is sounded the wire vibrates in response, and this vibration brings it in contact with the platinum point. The circuit is thus completed and sensitive relay is brought into operation.

Market for Suckers

Maine fishermen are finding that the once despised sucker now known by the more aristocratic name of frost fish, is having a market value for something be- sides smelt bait.
 Tons of them are being caught in Maine waters and shipped to the New York market, where they are bringing 13 and IA cents pound. Years ago the fishermen when finding these fish in smelt or bass nets used to throw them on the ice or overheard, as they had no market value.

A Timely Observation

From the Washington Evening Star

 ''Huh! interrupted the small son of the prosperous farmer; 'I bet she didn't pay as well as half . dozen hens that lay regular eggs."
