BEN-HUR IN ALL IT'S
SPLENDOR is COMING
klaw & Erlanger Production to Be at
Jefferson Theatre December
and 8 With Matinee

The return of <law & Erlangers pro-
duction of Gen. Lew Wallace's famous
novel; "Ben-Hur," to the Jefferson the
atre Monday and Tuesday nights and
Tuesday matinee, December and o, is
an event of importance. The big produc-
ton is the same in every detail that made
the engagement of last year at the The
atre Royal, Drury Lane, London, and the
New Amsterdam theatre, New York, sue
cessful 1t is pretty well known here
that the London critics are not very
partial to the American products of the
theatre, but their attitude towards Gem
eral Wallace's play was an exception
that proved the rule. There was not
single writer of authority who did not
pronounce this spectacle the greatest
ever seen on the stage of the Drury Lane
theatre, where the most expensive and
elaborate productions have been made
for more than a century.
Theatregoers generally are q familiar
with the fame OF this historic playhouse
and will appreciate the Importance of a
verdict like this. Not even Sir Henry
Irving's eXtravagantly fine reviyals of the
classics, nor those of Sir Beerbohm Tree
created the enthusiastic interest with the
critics and the public that the realism
and Oriental splendor of the Klaw & Err

When these leading managers announced
that they would give the British public
an idea of American achievement in stage
art that would astonish the statement
was received with bristling sllepticism
but subsequent developments showed that
they Were within the truth, for the sue
cess of the performance was undoubted
The run in New York at the New Amster-
dam theatre was correspondingly effec-
tive in attracting the crowds, pleasing
the critics and building receipts.

BIJOU WILL OFFER
"THE WHITE SLAVE"
Melodrama Of the South Has Been
Favorite for 81 Years on the
American Stage

A splendid company, it is claimed, will
present at the Bijou theatre this week
BARLEY Campbell's American play, s'The
White Slave" a story of the sunny south
in 1857.
The author of "The White Slave de-
voted the greater time of his life to play
writing, and many of his best works still
live in the memory of the American play
goer, but it can safely be said that in no
other play OF his did he live SO close to
human nature as in 1.-THE White Slave"
The heroine, Lisa, is white girl of high
parentage, but it is in the mystery sur
rounding her birth that the dramatist has
won the sympathy of the average theatre
goer.
In THE White Slave there is love
romance which develops through many
exciting and pathetic. scenes. The story
Is always dramatic, but never goes be-
yond the pale of probability The char
acters are faithfully drawn and several
are prototypes of famous men and wom-
en- who were prominent in southern life
before and during the civil war. Poetry,
sentiment and homelike atmosphere
pervade the entire piece, which is re-
lieved by flashes of melodrama. Stirring
scenes Will be the escape of the fugitives
Lisa and her lover-from the plantation
of Osceola, the destruction of the Belle
Creole" in mid-stream, ard the capture
of the runaways on Red Devil island.
1t is said that the cast selected for the
present tour is probably the best since
the original. The stage settings will be
different from anything ever shown in
this play, which will give it the flavor of
an original production. 1t is the electri-
cal effects. however, that the public will
be especially delighted with.
There will be performances nightly at
$50 o clock and matinees Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday.

means of self-defense. believing that jfu-
iitsu and other such forms of protection
are valueless comparing to glima. This
"act" will be seen in Birmingham soon.
The .'Bumpety Bumps which have
been a vogue for some time have con-
ceded that the impossible has happened.
Two girls are taking all of the difficult
falls of the bodywrecked bumps. The
girls call themselves the Two Tomboys
and have only just come from Europe to
play a long engagement in American vau-
deville, during which they will come to
Birmingham.
In what is said to be a part fitted to her
personality than any other in which she
has ever appeared, Little Emma Bunting
will be seen at the Bijou the first week
in December The play is "The Girl From
out Yonder' and she appears in a SOU
wester and rubber boots, daughter of
the sea.
Christmas week Miss Bunting will ap-
pear as the little lord In Little Lord
Fontleroy,'' and preparations are being
made for an elaborate production of this
favorite play.
The Bijou hasn't haG musical comedy
this season and the first is booked for the
week of December s. when revised edi-
ton OF Happy Hooligan'' will be offered.
The cartoon show, il It does as it did
last season. will pack the Bijou for the
week. 1t holds one of the records of last
season for attendance New music, com
edy and costumes are promised.
Announcement is made that some of
the big attractions VIII tour the south
this season and bookings may be given
out of several companies in the near fu-
ture.
Even since it was announced that Zine
Feathers" one of the biggest dramatic
successes of the day. would be presented
-at the jefferson theatre this season, local
playgoers have been wondering Ii they
would get the same cast of stars that dis
tinguished its remarkable runs at the
Astor theatre, New York, and the cort
theatre, Chicago. The management Of the
Jefferson wishes to assure all playgoers
that such is the case.
Quite the best thing that indefatigable
trio, Wilbur D. Nesbit Otto Hauerbaeh
and the late Karl Hoschna did was their
delightful musical play, The Girl of My
Dreams, which comes to the Jefferson
for Christmas Offering.
Mrs. FislSe, always a welcome feature
of the playhouse season. is to come to the
eJfferson theatre soon. Her medium of
appeal will be 1.-The High Road by Ed
ward Sheldon. The story of the play is
said to be one of spiritual accomplish
ment, of the soul-making processes in a
life which in the beginning could see
nothing but darkness as its outlook. but
which after q series of Illuminating ex-
periences came to a realization of its
opportunities and responsibilities finally
emerging triumphant in the accomplish
ment of a great good and safe in the

pieces of comedy on the stage. Mr.. Reno

also his clever daughter, Miss Bessie, an
addition to the ACT which contains five
people.
Opening the evenings entertainment
will be the Vivians, who have just re-
turned to America from a four years
tour of the world. They are sharpshooters
and hailed as the best in America. They
are frequently called on to give private
exhibitions before the military authori-
ties of the various foreign countries, and
their work upheld the American suprem-
acy in arms. They will present an act
said to be thrilling and novel.
What Orpheum audiences like best OF
all is comedy, conversation, a song or
two and a dance, and for the special de-
light of those who favor this class of
vaudeville Johnson, Horton and johnson
were engaged.
A capital team of dancers Jack Ward
and Eddie Weber have arranged an "act'
that is different from the majority of per-
formances of this sort. In addition to
their ability they have displayed stage
craft with the result that their singing
''patter'' and dancing are arranged in an
unusually advantageous way, and for
each number they have attractive cos
tunes. Their eccentric dancing is ex-
ceptionally good.

they have expended more than 100000 in
making changes, which. Of course. have
benefited all other plays.
The "Ben-Hur'' touring organization
has numbered from 100 to 225 people each
season. An orchestra of from IS to 80
has been carried TO properly render Edgar
Stillman Kelley's musical score. To trans
fer the scenic and mechanical equipment
from one city to another. eight 60-foot
baggage cars are required while for the.
racing stable, which numbers 20 odd
horses and three camels, two arms palace
stock cars are pressed into service.
Luck has attended the touring of the
company in the Il years it has been ON
the road No railroad accident or mis-
hap of any description has marred the
travel. and although the scenery has been
handled in every part of the country, a
rainstorm has never been encountered.
