NJ. II. Dobson of Nashville, has been
in the city for the past two weeks ad-
justing the fire sale of the Alabama Gum
company
His close association with this line of
business calls him from one large city
to another. Since being here he has been
called to Louisville and to Tennessee.
In the last few months Mr.. Dobson has
conducted 20 large sales. Often he has
passed through Birmingham, but this is
his first opportunity to spend so long
a time here.
He is very flattering in his references
to Birmingham. A trip to Ensley and
Fairfield awakened him to the greatness
of these two cities. Mr.. Dobson says
he hopes his next trip will be through
the country with his family in his au-
tcmobile. Miss Lillian Dobson, the Oldest
daughter returns from abroad in Septem-
ber, where she has spent the entire sums

DOWN THE PIKE"
THIS WEEKS OFFERING
Tabloid Musical Comedy Claimed to
Be Novel Will Be Seen at the
Orpheum Theatre

The characteristics of along the
Pike" at the Orpheum this week are
said to be originality, new idea,
songs that positively haven't been
heard in Birmingham before and sew
| eral very clever and entertaining ac-
tors This combination is ideal for a
summer company and the audiences at
the Orpheum this week are promised a
treat.
| THE Pike" was the original name
given the midway at a big exposition
some years ago. and sthe pike in the
show is a midway, with all the freaks,
| the strong men, the fat woman, the
snake charmer, the fakirs, and, in fact,
all those curiosities that go to make
up the midway shows of a country fair.
Then added to these are the specta-
tors--who frequently are funnier than
the show people. The two classes get
together in Down the Pike" and fur
nish some unique comedy. The entire
show is built along novel lines that are
guaranteed to entertain and amuse.
In the company are several well
known people, among them Nat c..
Baker, who appears as Tony Mala-
chrino from Italy; Harry ]. O'Neil as
Trick Fakem from New York, Billy
O'Day as Caleb Bizzebee from Hen
Roost and Inez Rodriguez, singer
and dancer, who is said TO be little
star. There are dozen others in the
company. including several pretty
chorus girls and character actors. The
| first of the two acts is in Hen Roost"
on a Fourth of July at a big celebra-
| tion, but the second and larger act is
| the scene on the pike. Between the
| two acts Miss Inez and Mr.. O'Day Of
fer speciality in signing and dancing
which is said to be one of the cleverest
vaudeville specialties of the season.
/ Some of the songs include. Happy
Little Country Girl" Italy" 81 Want
| to Meet the Man Who Wrote That
Melody" Spirit of '76," Lets &c
| Where the Moon Won't Shine" Car
nival Time" and several others.
/ The Orpheum has matinee every
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, commencing
with the Monday matinee, and has two
performances every night, the first al
