MISS MILLER is GREAT

The symphony concert at the Jefferson
theatre last night-the first OF three which
the Cincinnati symphony orchestra is Civ
ing-attracted a large, fashionable and
appreciative audience. 1t was the first
appearance here of the Cincinnati organ
ization but its reputation had made the
name familiar to the Birmingham public
and music lovers here We've eager to
hear It.
Miss Christine Miller, contralto, and
Mrs Truman Aldrich piano, were the
soloists and as this is the former home
of the latter she was accorded an ova-
ton
1t was a very delightful entertainment
and all the numbers were fully enjoyed.
There were two changes the pro-
gramme originally printed. Weber's
overture, "Euryanthe.' was substituted
for Nicolai's overture, Merry Wives of
Windsor and the "Tannhauser' over
ture was substituted for the "Tannhau-
ser march. These were the other num-
bers Aria. Amour. Niens Alder from

Miss Miller met with most cordial re-
ception. Her rich voice is admirably
trained She has fine dramatic style and
beautiful stage presence and she is an
artist through and through. 1t was gem
orally remarked that the management
was fortunate indeed in securing so great
artist. For encore Miss Miller
sang I'm the Time of Roses
Mrs. Aldrich's appearance upon the
stage was the signal for spontaneous ap-
plause. Never did this popular lady look

of the very best of material. Philip

recently connected himself with the or

TOLD ANDRETOLDI
The Appreciative Audience

Clarksburg, West Virginia, is the
most appreciative town in the world so
far as theatrical matters are concerned.
During the last season "The Case of
Becky" a psychological play, was put
on there, and it made tremendous hit.
The applause at the drop Of the curtain
at the end of each of the three acts
was deafening. Every line went across
the footlights like CREASED lightning.
Starr. was all stuck on itself.
Then, when the play was over. the
audience refused to move. There those
hundreds of men and women sat- glued
to their seats, while the orchestra
played a ragtime march as a hint that
1t was time to go home. Nobody went.
Finally the manager OF the company
stepped before the curtain and ex-
pressed the fear that he might wound
the sensitive feelings of the audience
or might reflect upon their intellects.
but he dared to assert that the play
was over. Everybody laughed at him.
There seemed to be nothing left except
to hire lot of muscular men with long
pickaxes to dig those spectators out of
their seats. After a long wait, how
ever, the audience, looking dazed and
bewildered, reluctantly went home.
The explanation was that the man
agement of the theater had quite
thoughtlessly combined the program of
THE Case of Becky" with that of the
coming attraction. within the Law
had put four acts into 1t instead of
three, and had enumerated II charac-
ters, whereas The Case of Becky" had
only seven. Clarksburg wanted to see
those other ten characters. They did

The San Francisco call., 1913-08-24

With the shift In editorship of one of
the oldest and most conservative nnaga-
zines of the country last week, and
with the assumption by new mana ge-
ment of the oldest and most conserva-
tive OF weekly publications, there was
demonstrated the change which has oc-
Cured In periodical literature in the
last 10 years The atlantic Monthly
was taken over by New Workers a few
years ago and some notable changes to
reflect current thought were introduced.
Nearly all of the former popular 10
cent magazines have advanced in price.
Some have changed hands. some have
combined. some have disappeared and
several groups of syndicate ownerships
have been formed
These reorganizations are notable for
their reflection of public appreciation
of periodical literature. Until just
about 20 years ago the monthly maga-
zine and the weekly field was filed by
publications issued by well known book
houses. All were high priced and dig
nified with the exception of a few
which. We're cheap and not particularly
clevating. A fierce competition by new
ventures set in, which brought enor-
nous cireulations to a few magazines
at 10 cents per copy and 81 per year.
These were possible largely through
the development of cheap halftone IL
lustrations and the sudden increase of
