Maiestic-Vaudeville

Rozells mnstrels at the majestic this week are diversion from the usual in vaudevile-and they were doubly well comed for that reason. The novelty of a minstrel in miniature appealed to the audi ences Monday, and the bill is one of much merit. The acts went well'' at all performances. and the audiences were more than pleased.
 The first part is a minstrel show, with a real orchestra. the typical end men, the round of minstrel jokes-and they are new ones in Rozell's minstrels-and the good singing both solo and chorus. The com pany stars in the first part, which is snappy and goes along smoothly to a good ending. There is just enough of the comedy, sufficient number of jokes and not too many songs.
 Following the first part comes. an olio of five acts. the first of which is Miss Betty Mayo, a pretty violinist. who rem ders several selections artistically and to the delight of the audience. The Harmony Kings proved a combine to make the people laugh and applaud. and 1t was one combine that the common people liked. The act has some excellent comedy, music. two good comedians and several musicians. It ends with a saxa- phone quartet that Is good.

Way Down East"

Way Down East has been staged In Birmingham, almost ever since the first theatre was built in this city. and upon each visit the play has never failed to please. The same old play returned to the Bijou last night for a weeks stay. and is even better than ever this year. The cast Is very strong. with perhaps one or two exceptions, and the scenery. proper ties and features are as true to life and natural as any that have ever been placed in Birmingham theatre.
 Everyone knows the story of Way Down East" The outcast woman who obtains work at the farm house; the love of the farmers son for this woman: the appearance of the father of her dead child and the trouble that is caused in the once happy family; the stern father, who banishes the woman from his house. but who finally relects and blesses her and his son, and the wolf in sheep's clothing is sent on his way.
 In act three the snow scene is one of the best ever seen in Birmingham. Against the window of the kitchen of the farm house, the snow whirls and eddies and the S0TlehlIlS oI tHe Wiuu tnc Out- side makes the scene all the more natural With the opening of the door the snow is blown across the room and the cold ness is almost felt by a person in the audience. In the last scene the snow covered trees in the woods are very natural. As a whole the play is one of the best staged productions ever shown at the Bijou.
 Blanche Shirley as Anna Moore, the outcast woman, made the very best out of an exceedingly difficult part The pathos of the play hinges largely upon this character. and Miss Shirley carries it out admirably. Frank Base as Squire Bartlett, the stern farmer. was pleasing and gave good portrayal of the con tented farmer. Beth Summerville as his wife was also good. David Bartlett. as played by Earl Schenck, is a very im- portant figure In the play, and his work last night was extra good. Ida Ellis, as the daughter was fair, while G. H. Wen der. as the professor, and s. c. Morris. as Hi Holler, slightly overplayed their psrts.
 strong. wholesome line of comedy runs throughout the play with just the proper offset to the more serious part. Frank Bell, the constable, and S. D. Dfane. as Seth Holcombe. were fine.

Orpheum-Vaudeville

The last two acts on the Orpheum bill provided two of the most attractive in many ways that have been in that house this season, and they left the audiences at the Monday matinee and the two night performances well pleased. The acts are Golden and Hughes. two of the best and most original negro comedians on the stage, and the Cavanna Duo, who have one of the most novel and entertaining specialties that a vaudeville lover could wish to see.
 Golden and Hughes are known as The Monograph Boys" and derive their name from the fact that they sing great many of the great coon song hits for the Edison people. They are well known to the users of photographs and are greatly enjoyed. One makes up as the ole 'ooman," and the other the ''ole man. and they carry on high jinks much 10 the delight of the audiences.
 The Cavanna Duo are riot The act is peculiar mingling of variety. The man is an excellent slack wire walker, per forming numerous stunts of skill and daring, while the dainty, graceful little woman plays, sings and dances. She plays a miniature harp as she dances, and her grace and agility remind one of George Wilson, when he was the most graceful of all dancers.
 The Valerie Bergere Players present Ut Happened in Room A. a comedy sketch which is entertaining, original and well presented. The story is of a bunco woman who pretends that she is going to commit suicide in new hotel. The proprietor pays her not to do so, and when she leaves he finds that the pistol is merely dummy" and the threat a bunco game. He is literally ''stung." The landlord; Ruth Raynor, the girl, and Frank Merrill, the bellboy.
 Moore and St. Clair are a team of dancers and singers, with mingling of comedy that is pleasing. Miss St. Clair makes a particularly strong hit at the finale of the act and is warmly applauded. She is graceful and clever, while her part ner makes good with the comedy. The sfth act Is Fritz Houston, a comedy car- toonist. who presents sketches in black and white. very we'll executed and en- larged by light on a sheet.
 The big feature of the performance is the pictures of the worlds championship baseball series between New York and Boston. The pictures are all taken in ac- tion, and show many of the crucial plays of the series. The audiences applaud .1hem strongly, Boston getting about two pictures each day. showing the complete series.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Quaker Girl"

The good qualities of 'The Quaker
 Girl" A recent English musical comedy
 importation, which was presented at the
 Jefferson theatre last night are cumu-
 lative. The first act drags considerably,
 but the second shows a marked improve
 ment and the third Is characterized by
 great pictorial beauty. A certain charm
 attaches to the theme and the Quaker
 atmosphere is cleverly contrasted with the gay abandon of Paris atmosphere. Without the latter, few musical shows nowadays seem able to make very fa- vorable impression on theatregoers who affect the lighter styles of entertain ment.
 Victor Morley is a facile comedian, with the abilities of graceful dancer and a suave funmaker. He Is ably as- sisted in the performance of "The Quaker Girl' by Miss Natalie Alt, a winsome prima donna, with many graces of per son and a sweet voice. As the demure little Quaker maiden transferred from the staid environment of an English Quaker village to the gay life of Paris, Miss Alt was all that could be desired. Her feminine charm added piquancy and sentiment to a piece that requires delft
 handling Both Mir. Morley and Miss Alt acquitted themselves in capital style,
 their duets and dances being altogether charming.
 The company supporting the two prn-
 cipals is a large one and Is for the most part very we'll balanced. Amy Lesser as Phoebe made the most of her oppor- i,, afnt cnpnedV role while William Friend in the counter role of Jeremiah was a very diverting Quaker lad with worldly tendencies. Elda Furry as the Princess Mathilde. Andree Corday as Madame Blum and Phil J. Moore as Prince Carlo were others in the cast who gave good account of themselves. From musical point of view, 'The Quaker Girl is quite pleasing, although 1t is rather staid and lacks somewhat
 the dashing motif that is characteristic
 of the school of musical comedy and light opera which includes ''The Rose Maid," .aThe Spring Maid," "The Chocolate Sol-
 dier' and other compositions of smi- lar nature Also, the piece is typically English, both as regards the music and the comedy, and perhaps on that account the comedy is not quite so easily assimi-
 lated by an audience of American the atregoers.
 If not quite so brilliant as some of it's contemporaries, "The Quaker Girl" is nevertheless a pleasing musical show, characterized by daintiness and charm, with several exquisite dance numbers and
 thoroughly artistic stage appointments. | 1st.. a+ ic ta1lx hna in its harmonious blending of colors, the costumes and the scenic background forming one of the prettiest stage set tings seen here in some time.

NAFTEL'S BROTHER BELIEVES
 MAN AND WIFE MURDERED

Montgomery. October 14.--(Special) ---Asserting that the police authori- ties of Birmingham have not exerted sufficient diligence in Investigating the deaths of Tom Naftel and his wife, which occurred in cemetery in that city, Eugene Naftel, brother of tho dead man and a former deputy sheriff Of Montgomery county, has returned to Montgomery after a hurried trip to Brmin gham.
 Mr. Naftel declares that the coroner of Jefferson county did not conduct an inquest after the tragedy occurred and expresses the belief that his brother and sister-in-law mere murdered. As proof of his contention that his brother did not commit suicide, MT. Naftel states that there was no powder marks on the face, which. in his opinion, would have been in evidence had his brother taken his own life.
 Mir. Naftel feels aggrieved at the attitude of the Birmingham authorities, declaring that they should have eX- erclsed more diligence in Investigating the tragedy, and that steps should now
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-15

be taken to thoroughly probe the af- fair.
 When shown the dispatch last even ing, Police Chief Bodeker said: MT Naftel evidently is not correctly in- formed of the course which such a case will take in this country. Immediately following the notification of the police by Sexton II. l.. Newbourne, of the Woodlawn cemetery. who found the bodies, County Coroner B. l.. Brasher was notified and as he immediately held an examination, the case was turned over into his hands. In case an investigation follows such an in- quest. the matter is handled by deputy sheriffs appointed by the coroner or by private detectives whom he sees fit to hire. After Coroner Brasher had arrived, the police had no authority in the case. other than to effect an ar rest. if such was ordered"
 It is understood that Eugene Naftel will immediately return to this city and take up an investigation of the tragedy, as he asserts that it is his be- lief that his brother and sister-in law were murdered.
