The Band With a Record

With. a record of over 5000 concerts played in the last II years. the famous .'Kilties'' band of Canada will appear in this city for two performances next Thursday at the Jefferson theatre. The "kilties' have just returned from tour around the world, which required two years and three months, during which time they visited 20 countries.
 There is no other concert band in the world just like the fKilties," Not only Is 1t a combination of high class artists, Who render classical and popular music with equal musical understanding. but fl represents in costume and appearance the nation from which each performer has sprung.
 The men who wear the kilties are all Scotch Canadians, and accompanying the band is a male choir who sings the bal lads of the mother country as none but the scotch can sing. In addition to the male choir is the famous "Kiltiesp troupe of Scotch pipers and dancers who dance and play with true Scotch fervor and characteristic grace.
 The visit of the '.Kiltles'' to Birminp- ham is an event that will be enjoyed by all who hear these much traveled talented players. The "Kiities'' will ar rive in their palace Pullman car Heather

 There are a dozen tuneful songs and half the number will fall to Miss Ring, among them being "Deedle- Dum-Dee,' T Want Regular Man. T Should Have Been Born a Boy .The Indian Rag and Daddy" These she will sing in her inimitable manner The music of Miss Rings new offering is said to be of the kind that fingers in the memory. The chorus has been chosen with unusual care and is composed of stunning girls who can really sing.
 Featured with Miss Ring this season is Harry Gilfoil, who plays the role of James Greene. the Wall street broker. Among tho other principals are Clarence Oliver. Charles Gotthold, Charles Win ninger, Maude Knowlton. Florence Shir- ley, and Cross and Josephine

all women are not diplomats and so there Is unhappiness in some households
 It is this question that srhe Real Thing takes up. The peacock is not oft en considered a wise bird, but in this comedy the peacock is the sister to the goose, and she is a widow who has studied the game. Miss Crosman plays the widow and the play Is said to be the best Miss Crossman has yet produced
 Surrounding Miss Crosman is the same wonderfully clever company and the re- markable scenic eoncomitants that caused so much favorable comment during the New York run at the Maxine Elliott the atre. The metropolitan critics notably Alan Dale. Actor Davies and Charles Darnton, were unanimous in praising not only the charming acting of Henrietta Crosman, but the sterling qualities of the play itself. The comedy deals with d new version of an old theme-marital dis content The wife is too busy making pies and caring for the children to dress herself and make d fuss over her hus- band. He. naturally. feels these sights, although they are not intentionally given by the wife; and the man, not finding love at home in his acceptance of the word, turns for caresses to the other woman This is the condition that exists when Henrietta Crosman, playing widow with fixing" propensities, arrives on the scene. The widow sees the situation at glance, divines the trouble and starts at once to remedy it. using to aid her in tho task, womanly intuition and good sound horse sense. She fixes the man and his wife so that all their disturbance is over but she gets her own heart strings tangled up in the process. Getting out of this fresh trouble forms the culmination of one of the most interesting and Imaginable comedies ever presented on the American stage.

or musical comedy, the slap stick and tho funny fall. This thorough. legitimate treatment is a hidden charm which re- lieyes even the tired theatregoer,
 In building upon this foundation Klaw & Erlanger undertook the same artistic grasp of the production. Each scene is made doubly effective by the fact that 1t represents a color scheme in harmony with the story and it's surroundings and even the grouping of the big chorus num- bers is handled with the sole idea of real izing an artistic blend in the picture. This taste and harmony of tone are an exquisite detail.
 When the piece was flashed upon New York there was not person in the cast Of any note and vet the whole was so cleverly handled and the parts so fat" as actors say, that the players In the scenes were soon better known than many star These are just a few things that have made the Pink Lady'' distinctive and the result shows that the public likes it.
