"A WINNING MISS" AT
MAJESTIC THIS WEEK
Tuneful Musical Comedy That Is
Great Favorite in Birmingham
Comes in Tabloid Form

A condensed version of "a Winning
Miss is to be offered at the Majestic
theatre this week. 1t is claimed great
er care has been exercised in selecting
the company, the chorus and every 9TH
|er feature of "A winning Miss than in
any of the other tabloids, and as a re-
suit it has proved to be the most popu-
lar of the many "tabloids" in many
cities.
Monday afternoon the engagement
commences and it continues every aft
ernoon at 2:30 and twice every night
lat 1880 and 800 O'Clock, with reserved
seats on sale in advance for the first
show at night and the Saturday matt
lnee.
The Atlanta Journal says:
1.-TWO delightful audiences nearly filed
the Forsyth theatre to capacity Mon
day evening, for the fifth week of
tabloid musical comedy.
"The attraction, "A Winning Miss,
was received with acclaim from the
conclusion of the first number until
the final curtain just one hour and Is
minutes later.
= "The chorus is the largest seen here
in tabloid There are more women and
more men. There are more changes of
costume and scenic effects. all of which
from beginning to end. And better than
this, the chorus is good to look upon.
The girls are pretty. and they work
with snap that is worthy the original
lproduction. There is not a dull mo-
ment in the action of the opera. 1t is
just laughing, rollicking, musical
lcomedy, abounding with side-splitting
situations, tuneful music, beautiful
scenic effects and a punch--a real punch
that is not generally to be found at
popular prices.
Miss Grace Manlovc, in the title role,
has a voice-a real voice. She was in
| the original company when it came to
Atlanta several years ago. At that time
| she took the part of the widow-which
the tabloid man left out when he be-
gan his trimming process. Her notes
lare clear and her head tones especially
good. Her voice has depth and a real
sweetness. She can act, and being sur
rounded by a capable company, there
lis really nothing else that one could
wish.
| sThe comedy part taken by James
lCrowley could extract a cluster of
laughs from the Sphinx. He is sure
lcure for the crouch, the blues or any
kindred alilment."

One of the few non-military heroes
of the South is to be honored by Au-
gusta, Ga. Patrick Walsh, once United
States Senator, who served the South
as private citizen, supporting his
father, mother and sisters and older
brothers families while the latter were
in the Confederate service, will have a
monument raised to his memory by the
citizens of Augusta. Work has been
begun to place the monument in Bar
rett plaza.
The monument is heroic size bronze
statue, of which George T. Brewster ID
he sculptor.
knew human nature when he banked
on the success of the scheme. Before the
year is up the scheme has worked out
perfectly Nat has accomplished all his
chum predicted. The daughter of the
wealthy man, all such towns possess, has
proposed marriage TO him, and the for
tune that is all but his will come to him
with her. Then he discovers that he does
not want it. The rules he has followed
really have found an earnest response
from Nat, and work and church become
a true part of his life. When he discov-
ers the old village druggist more helpless
than he has been, the humor of it strikes
the neer-do-well and the seeds of ambi-
tion being to sprout with his self assumed
responsibility, for the druggist and daugh-
ter. The year works wonders. and the
man who has been regularly fired for
five years becomes a success in business
The element of love that comes into his
life is relief for the sordidness of the
original schemes which he renounces, and
in this the author has effected an ending
that is logical and pleasing.
This is the first time that this play has
ever appeared at popular prices. The
company comes to Birmingham direct
from the $3.50 circuits, and the initial week
at popular prices is Birmingham. Nc
changes are being made in the company
or the production on account OF this
change in price, and the patrons of the
theatre will be treated to higher priced
play in every way.

MEMOLI'S BAND WILL
RENDER FINE MUSIC
Premier Appearance of New Concert
Organization at jefferson This
AfternoOn-Forty Men

Melnoli and his band of 40 men will be
great attraction at the Jefferson theatre
this afternoon. 1t will be Mr.. Memoli's
premier public appearance since his re-
turn from Italy, where he studied three
years and conducted one of the largest
bands of Europe two years of that time.
He organized his new band several
weeks ago and has had many rehearsals.
Those who have had the privilege of at
tending a recent rehearsal say that the
band not only will reflect credit upon
Birmingham but that it is one of the
finest concert ensembles in this coun-
try.
Soloists on the programme will be Mrs.
Carolyn Lum Cole. soprano, and Mrs.
Memoli, harp.
The band is composed chiefly of young
men, including a number of woodwinds-
clarinets, bass clarinets, flute and oboe.
There are also three saxophones. There
are about 10 players in the brass section.
In addition to the wind instruments there
will be a violoncello and bass viol
Percussion instruments include kettle
drums, bass drums and cymbals, snare
drum and a tomtom or gong, the latter
being used effectively in the Parsifal
music.
The programme is made up of beau
tiful compositions. some of them quite
classic. The opening number is grand
symphonic march. The second number
will be Rossini's ''William Tell over
ture. Next will be selections from Boito's
famous opera, "Mefistofele' Mrs. Cole
will sing the Bach-Gounod "Ava Maria" /"
and the "Inflammatus'' from Rossini's
"Stabat Mater" She will be accompanied
by the harp, violoncello and the reed Sec
ton. Mrs. Memoli will play harp solo
by Hahn.
| Band numbers other than those men
toned will be Dvorak's ever popular
"Humoresque''; quaint tuneful minuet
by Boccherini-an arrangement from one
of the string quintets; Procession of the
Holy Knight from Wagner's "Parsifal,' .
and selections from VerdPs 'Traviata.'
There has been great interest in Mem
oil and his band and the able and much
esteemed conductor will doubtless be
greeted by crowded house.,
| The admission will be small-75 cents,
30 cents and 25 cents.
