Majestic

Majestic
If any city event went jolly wild over
an amusement Offering, Birmingham was
that city yesterday. Thrice the Males
tic was filed to its last possible seat,
and thrice the audiences were delighted
with the tabloid musical comedy offered
by Edward Jolly and Winifred Wild,
called lover Night in Boston"
1t is notable fact that this is really
miniature musical comedy. The cos
tuning is just as elaborate, the scenic
effects are splendid and the musical
numbers are every one new and bright
tuneful and the 'whistly' kind. In fact
not an old tupe was heard in the en-
tire performance Monday.
| The departure from vaudeville and the
change of policy met with the approval
of the audiences, as expressed in many
ways. To begin with the people appre-
ciated their ability to secure reserved
seats for the first performance at night
about one-half the lower floor being re-
served Then they showed a marked
fondness for the musical comedy after d
season of vaudeville The fact that the
matinee began at 2:45 Unsteady of 2:30
| was also the subject of many favorable
comments.
AS TO the company, IL is all that can be
expected and more, too. Edward Jolly
as +. H. Touch. a musical teacher In
hard luck is very laughable. He depends
solely on his ability as a comedian to
get the laughs, and there Is nothing Of
the slap stick variety about his efforts.
1t is clean. graceful comedy, taking ad-
vantage of the numerous funny situa-
tions of the play and working them up
to the best advantage.
Jollys song, "Oh Sush,' and his vau-
deville speciality with Miss Wild were
two Of the shows features. Miss Wild
| is particularly clever as the foil to his
comedy in the specially, and she sings a
couple of songs which are well done.
Probably the other most mentionable
feature of the show was the speciality of
the Norrie sisters, Florence and Elsie.
They have two new songs, Scotch dance
rope dance, "That Sewanee Shore and
a wooden shoe dance which are well rem
deref in every way.
The quartette Some Singing -Four,
is remarkable in that there are two
male voices and two female voices and
all of them are baritone. They present
a medley of songs and numbers that goes
well with the audience Tom Brown as
Dick Allen and several others in lesser
parts were good.
The show constituted an auspicious in
ausuration for the new policy of the
house and If Jake Wells can continue
TO send down a line Of tabloid musical
comedies as clever and entertaining as
this one a season of remarkable success
Is predicted

riodicals carrying liquor advertisements
and to bar all such matter advertising
for sale stocks and bonds of corpora
tions unless favorably passed upon by the

committee, opposing it.
Speaking to a point OF order against
the amendment Representative Moon said
he hoped the point itself would be dis
cussed, "and not lot or prohibition

this language as 'cowardly and ungentle-
manly" Representative Moon replied
that he would give the gentleman the
opportunity at any time he might de.
sire to repeat his charge outside" and

PUBLIC UTILITIES
JURISDICTION
IS DENIED

The first formal difference TO arise
between the chairman of the public
utilities commission and concerns
which he tentatively regards as under
the jurisdiction OF the commission.
arose Thursday upon the receipt OF
the replies from the Hawaiian lrriga4
ton and Kahena Water Companies.
Both COMPANIES deny the commits
sion's jurisdiction.
Both also decline to submit figures
relative to their capitalization and
gross income for the year 1872. Their
letters are brief, merely stating that
they do not consider themselves
within the meaning Of the act Great
ing the commission and establishing
the boundaries of its power.
Whether they engage in business
of supplying the general public with
water remains for Chairman Mott
Smith to determine, and to decide
Just how much business of this nature
constitutes a public utility. Until his
mind is clear on this point no at
tempt will be made to enforce the
regulations on the companies who OBJ
iect to It now.
Two other replies received to
those mentioned above. The Hawaii
Railway Company not only submitted
its figures on income and capital, but
figured out the fee due the commits
sion from 1t, and enclosed a check for
the amount, which was $51.75. As
yet Chairman Mott-Smith has not not
flied any of the corporations of the
manner in which the payments shall
be made.
The Kauai Railway Company also
acknowledged jurisdiction, submitted
It's figures and set forth the fee due
from it, s11s.93. adding that it would
be pleased to forward the check just
as soon as informed in what manner
and to whom it should be paid.
