At the Orph cum

In an extra effort to please the public with an especially good vaudeville bill of singing, dancing and music, the Orpheum has secured five well rounded, clean acts that should make this weeks bill win ming card. It seems that the bill con- tains features of much strength and every one of them emphasizes that class of vaudeville that experience has shown to be most popular in Birmingham.
 All aboard for good black face musi- cal act, and the public will be treated to one this week when Warren and Keefe appear They are known to have one of the best black face acts in vaudeville, and they ''are a riot everywhere" In- cidentally they are very high priced team which is out fresh for the season with all new jokes and songs The team dances. sings and has a line of comedy hard to beat.
 Something that will appeal to the audi nary acts, even when they are real nov cities, is the second of the big features tI,s week. Dick Thompson and Company will present "A Romance of Erin" which includes beautiful Irish love story, the singing or several of the prettiest of the Irish ballads and the introduction of clever comedy, Miss Vinton in the act is reputed to be one of the prettiest Irish girls on the stage. Her beauty is the subject of comment.
 Dainty girls are always acceptable to

l Manager Whitfield has arranged for the coming week another big road show di- rect from the Plaza theatre, Chicago. It l is not musical comedy, but great va riety offering repiete with all the good ] things in vaudeville, one of the most mer- 1 itorious attractions ever presented in Bir- mngham, refined entertainment which will delight every one, especially the chil- dren.
 | A great musical treat will be the head line attraction on this all star programme, Willard's Temple of Music. said to be one of the largest musical offerings in the history of vaudeville. Almost every known musical instrument is introduced, and the performers are so gifted that the | trains which they produce are a rare | sweetness. Thousands of dollars have been expended In the stage setting and the transr aren't drops and Spanish cath sdrals effects by the noted firm of Boss & Ormstcn. New York, are distinctly artistic. Stil more beautiful are the cos tunes wcrn by the ladies in the act This production uses a private ear to con vey the complicated machinery, a great expense in itself. Raffins Monkey circus will be another great attraction. Mir. Raffin has accom- plished wonderful things in the art Of training these little animals, and they have now reached high stage of intelli- gence. performing many difficult feats with the precision of trained acrohats. There arc numerous quartettes now ap- bearing in vaudeville, but among those few that have attained reputation throughout America is the "Crackerjacly Four These men are not four common, ordinary men who can sing little. Q, ina zine they can sing. but each one is said to be an artist. Their lines are full of clean. original comedy, which creates roars Of laughter. and their songs are the latest New York successes.
 The offering of the Three Rambler Girls will prove to be one of the most refined singing and dancing numbers seen for sometime. These charming little la dies have excellent voices. It Is thought that they will prove to be one of the bright features Of the bill
 Miss Marie Pennell. as a singing com odienns is quite n departure in this line. for her offering is marked by both artistic and ragtine music.
 The mana cement believes that this bill will prove one of the great attractions of the season es it has in all the other cities on the circuit. and the usual crowd ed houses are expected. No expense has been spared to make the Majestic :, comfortable little home of Vaudeville, and Manager Whitfield is always exerting every e1or. to make the entertainment

At the BijOu

That marvel of merrment Seven Days, Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery IloEWood's play of a week in quar- antine pronounced by the New York Evening Mail the jolliest seven days you can imagine will be at the Bijou all this week. with matlnees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It Is right from the Astor theatre. New York, with the record of a third year on Broadway and a fame for laughter that makes other comedies a mere litter by comparison. It is said to be a high explosive of fun that penetrates the thickest arnor of solemnity, bonn bardment of laughter against which the stoutest entrenchment of stoicism is de- fenseess. A critic says; There is no withstarding its assault of hilarity. May as well raise the white flag of surrender immediately and capitulate unconditional ly to the overwhelming force of jollity Wagenhals X kemper, who captain this ccnquering legion of fun, have arrayed it with added lustre for the merry fray this season."
 In recognition of the third year in New York fer Seven Days" special attention was given to the preservation of the con- edy and to the stage settings and cos tunes and all accessories. As for the actins company it is the New York cast that recently was at the Astor theatre With this added strength Seven Days brings all the attractiyeness that makes 1t the biggest comedy success in many wears.

1 ical comedy or comic opera programme
 the name of Harry B. Smith, for such is
 the wonderful versatility of this writer | that his average is every other modern
 book as either author or translator, or
 adapter.
 l Last season MT. Smith had three musi-
 cal attractions open in one week in New York city On Monday night 1t was "The Duchess at the Lyric theatre On Tues day he followed with the "Gypsie Love-
 at the Globe, and on Thursday The
 Enchantress' at the New York Three first nights in one week. Some record even for q real busy playwright, oh? But not at all surprising if you know Harry B. Smith.
 MT. Smith has had 128 of his 1ss plays produced on Broadway, and at one time last season he had four plays running there to capacity simultaneously. Clyde Fitch In his palmiest days never had over two.
 There is no doubt about it that Harry B. Smith is the most prolific playwright in the world today and from the view point of royalties the most successful This season he will have 16 plays on- the road at one time. each paying him his weekly share of the box office receipts.
 Robin Hood" one of his early sue cesses, ran 1S years, and last summer was revived to bigger business than ever be- fore in it's history ''Tae Serenade" ran seven. "The Fortune Teller" three '.The Spring Maid is now in it's third year. with promise of several more profitable seasons to it's credit before it is finally shelved while ''The Rose Maid'' bids fair to last as long as old Kentucky" or Way Down East.' That Mir Smith is far from written out is most eloquently attested by the remarkable success achieved by "rhe Rose Maid, his latest This delightful comic opera ran all last summer iii New York and in every city where it has appeared it has broken all records.
 Harry E. Smith Is only name to 99 out of every 100 theatregoers despite the fact that he has been turning out plays ever since 1SSS He rarely appears at the first nights of his plays and never makes a curtain speech. He regards plsywritine as simply T trade. Because of his years of experience he claims that. experience is necessary to writing successful librettos and lyrics.
 Although he is only 45 years old his an nual income is S5o,Coo to sl61,O0o. To put 1t epigrammatically Harry Smiths tastes are literary, his activities illiteracy He is a student. and his library in his New York home is one of the finest in the city. He is writing serious book on Dickens and he declares he will attempt to write a serious drama as soon as he gets the time

the Granby for long while It is the equal of the Seven Days that was pre- scented here last year at the Academy of Music. And the wonder is, how do they do it. II is substantially the same play. The settings are all the same and as com plete in every detail, while the cast is made up of actors and actresses who handle the comical situations just as well as they were handled when the perform ance was given at the Academy. 1 s."ltSeven Days is certainly a comedy in a class by itself. Unlike most plays it doesn't inject a little comedy here and ] there. but every line is laugh from be- ginning to end
 Heres the story Extremes of society quarantined in the same house for week Jim Wilson, who his rich aunt thinks happily married and a party of his friends, ladies and gentlemen Jim has divorced his wife and while he and his friends are making merry his aunt drops in unex- pectedly She abhors divorces. so Jim has to get one of the ladies to act as his wife. The other couple have to pretend man and wife also. It so happens that Jim's real wife just drops in' to see Char lotte, the cook, and the policeman was there for the same purpose. To cap the climax burglar happens to be in the house. This queer set of people are all quarantined in one house for week. and they must keep up the deception to their aunt. Of course she suspects some thing wrong, complications come thick and fast and in the most laugbable man her possible. However, everything ends happily
 Jim gets his first wife back again and the, other two couples happily united --and the burglar is allowed to go. Mere ly telling of 1t doesn't give one half an idea of all the plea sure that is derived from seeing the play, and if fun and laughter are what you want you can get full measure from Seven Days The cast is an excellent one and deserves commen- dation as whole there being not weak character on the list'

I'm the Playhouse World

When Catherine Chisolm Cushing hit upon the story of "1he Real Thing" she discovered one of the biggest ideas that has ever Teen given to the world in play form and in the theatre. Henrietta Cros- mans success in this play has been un- equivocatle. It has been sweeping, and when she appears in Birmingham those who witness The Real Thing" will see the purest. cleanest, sweetest, brightest and most charming play that it has been Henrietta Crosman's good fortune to pre- sent to her friends and public.
 "The Pink Lady" which is to be pre- scented here shortly by Klaw X Erlanger. lis described in general terms as an in- ternational musical comedy de luxe That apt phrase hits it off well enough in many scenes. It's basic story is an adaptation of the French farce ''Le Satyre." which ran for q year at the Palais Royal in Paris before c. M s. Mcclellan made his book and lyrics out of them and called the work 'The Pink Lady Then Ivan Caryll of the Gaiety theatre made score which not only fits the story, but aids 1t in Its natural progressions. The com bined effort is the last work in American musical comedy and it represents a de- 1ightful story, humorously outlind and nhancd by a score of captivating quali- ties. Of these songs My Beautiful Lady Is the beat known, but there are F others that serve to increase the popularity of '"rhe Pink Lady" the most sensational musical comedy triumph of today.
