MISS RUTH GRAY
Who Will Appear in "Freckles at the
Jefferson Friday and Saturday
"FRECKLESo TO BE AT
JEFFERSON THEATRE
Dramatization of Widely Read Book
Will Be Witnessed Friday and
Saturday

The attraction underlined for the
Jefferson theatre Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee Is A g.
Delamater's New York production OF
the new song play, "Freckles," dra-
matized from the novel of the same
name by Gene Stratton Porter, author
Harvester" with music interspersed
throughout the action of the play from
the pen of the we'll known Viennese
composer, Mr.. Anatol F'riedland.
"Freckles" is a wonderful story of
the out of door type, depicting the
struggles OF brave irish lad, work
ing against tremendous odds and is
full of the elements that go to make
stories that appeal to the lovers of
Mother Nature. Its heart interest, ten
der pathos, spontaneity. variety of
characterization and delightful humor
should commend 1t to those who like
plays half sunshine, half tears. AS a
book story 1t has had an audience of
over five millions of people, and as a
play it Is predicted that even a great
er number of people will become in
terested in the fortunes and misfor-
tunes of the hero of Mrs. Porters book.
The cast that will present the play
here Is said to be capable one, in
cluding Perry Golden, Marian Gasparo,
Cecile Yeomans, Ruth Gray. Helen G.
Judson, Delaney Barcley, Bryce Des-
mond. Bernard Johnson, James S. Kits,
George Fox and others.

claims in another column that Foy is
one of the most widely initiated men
on the stage and that is true. How
ever, the old saying about imitation
being the sincerest form of flattery
probably soothes Mr.. Foy when he
hears of somebody's limitation that
is trifle more execrable than usual.
Last but by no means least, the BiJou
is to offer the favorite comedians,
Ward and Vokes, in a revival OF "A
Run on the Bank" They will be as
sisted by Lucy Daily and a large com
pany. This trio needs no introduction
to Birmingham theatregoers. They
are deservedly popular and the Bijou
will no doubt do a big business this
week, in spite of strong competition.

who are sparing no pains to make its
premiere a pronounced success. The
cast will include Doris Keane, William
Courtney, A. E. Anson, Jennie
Eustace, William Raymond and other
well known players. The date of the
first performance will be announced
later.
Patrons of the comfortable Or
pheum theatre regret the fact that
this vaudeville house continues dark.
The Orpheum was not originally built
for a theatre, but after it had been
remodeled under the direction of Jake
Wells it became one of the most at
tractive places of amusement in Bir-
mingham. The arrangement Of alsles
and exits is such that there is never
any disagreeable crowding and IN
warm weather the house is delight
fully cool. However, it is promised
that the Orpheum will not remain
closed much longer.
A unique souvenir of Weber and
Fields was presented to the writer OF
these notes during the past week by
Mr.. William Raymond Sill, general
press representative of Weber and
Fields, who will appear in Birming-
ham next week, at the jefferson
theatre. The souvenir is repro

who has ever seen the two comedians

recognize the familiar pose at once.
Both figures are very lifelike and rich
in humorous suggestion.

E. H. Sothern and Robert Mantell

true that Mr.. Faversham might be

fun maker, over the River" which
Werba & Luescher have produced for
him on a big scale. The spirit of mad

ton and its unconventionality Is said
to be of a nature TO make a strong
appeal to audiences stated with the
conventional comedy. The song num-

FUNNY EDDIE FOY HAS
MANY IMITATORS
Several Actresses Owe Starring Posi-
tions Indirectly to Successfully
Mimicking Comedian

No man or woman on or off the stage
has had more imtators than Eddie Foy.
Both Elsie Janis and Gertrude Hoff-
man owe their present starring positions
indirectly to their ability to more or less
successfully mimic Eddie Foy's cat-lilSe
smile.
Long before Elsie Janis attempted mu-
sical comedy, she was in vaudeville, CIV
ing limitations of various prominent ac-
tors and actresses and her mimicry OF
Mr.. Foy was the feature of her perform
ance.
Gertrude Hoffman, now at the head of
her own organization. and well known in
Birmingham, stepped from the position
of show girl into vaudeville and delivered
to pleased audiences about 80 minutes
of limitations, devoting most of her act
also to imita ting Eddie Foy, singing
song and using the expression 'ts
pretty thing"
Cecilia Lotus used Mr.. Foy's man.
nerisms to the best of her ability while
doing the 'two-a-day," and without a
question of a doubt Eddie Foy heads the
list for having his imitators, with pos
sibly George cohan running second place.

told local, newspaper man some
years ago that he did not begin to
make money until he identified him
self almost exclusively with Shake
spearian parts. Mr.. Sothern is
thought by many critics to surpass
Mr.. Mantell in his Interpretation of
Hamlet, but Mr.. Mantell is unequaled
as Lear and Macbeth. With such
players as Mr.. Mantell, Mr.. Sothern
and Miss Marlowe to keep Shake
speare's plays prominently before us,
there will be no lack of artistic per-
formances prompted by something
more than mercenary motive.

Famous New York Comedians With
Big Company Making Tour
of the South

the Jefferson theatre Thursday, Feb
ruary g.
The short tour of the comedians. who
have just closed a successful run at
their new music hail. in New York city,
includes only the more important cities
OF the south, and local playgoers are
elated over the fact that two of the most
prominent stars in the musical comedy
world have included this city in their
"whirlwind' tour, previous to opening a
spring engagement at their music hall.
The vehicle Weber and Fields are de-
Iivering tons of laughs with is called
Hockey Pokey." and is a riot of fun dur
ing the entire action OF the play.
The fact of Messrs. Weber and Fields
appearing here creates new standard
in local theatricals. as it is the first time
that two stars have been seen here IN
the same play.
The comedians have surrounded them
selves with company of about 100. in
cluding many of the famous music hall
beauties, who have given Weber and
Fields the reputation OF presenting some
Of the most beautiful chorus girls seen
on Broadway.

T~HE forthcoming week is to be
merry one in Birmingham's
\ theatres. With a coterie of
noted comedians working hard to. en-
tertain us, it would be strange if we
managed to get through the week
without at least few hearty laughs.
The most pessimistic person may be
expected to smile, and if he is not
aroused from his gloom by the fun
makers who are to be in town this
week, his case is indeed hopeless.
First to visit us will be George Evans,
still wearing his soubriquet of "Honey
Boy" and bringing large minstrel
company to present what he solemnly
AYERS to be show entirely new.
George Evans is an inimitable define
ator of negro character and he has

to the city of his birth to end his
days there, and Tom had gone into

he had a flourishing business. And
he loved Sylvia Blaine.
Sylvia could not believe that it was

she was. And why should Tom have
chosen her when there were so many
sweet girls of his acquaintance? If
he had ever known her cousin
Agatha, for example, she was sure
