EMMA BUNTING IN
 1.-THE BLUE MOUSSE
Unusual Ability Shown by Little Actress in Title Role of Clyde
 Fitch's Comedy

It has been said by dramatic critics who have seen number of different actresses of distinction and near distinction play the part of ''rhe Blue Mouse, in the Clyde Fitch comedy of the same name, that few of them can give the same touch to it's interpretation that Little Emma Bunting does. In this character more than any other that she plays, her historionie ability is displayed. and she gives a re- markable shading to the situations.
 Birmingham has seen her In 'The Blue Mouse" in the past-and liked her inn nlensely. The return to the Fitch com edy with it's sparkling lines its varied and numerous comedy situations and it's clever story of complications, was made at the request of the patrons of the Bijou who saw Miss Bunting in the part two or three years ago. Every place she has appeared in stock the verdict has been that "The Blue Mouse" was her best part
 Briefly the story tells of the maneuvers of one Rollette to secure promotion to the division superintendency of the h. terstate railroad by engaging Paulette De- vine, known as "The Blue Mousse to infatuate MT. Llewellyn president of the road, who has a fondness for a pretty face. The complications arise through the appearance of the wives of the rail- road officials and the man who is really in love with "The Blue Mousse and after wards marries her. Ten minutes after the curtain rises for the first act the com plications commence, and they are con- tinuous until the closing scene of the last act, when all is explained and everything ends happily. The comedy is one contin- uous laugh.
 A. splendid production scenically has been prepared and on Monday night the audiences will witness a complete play in every way. The members of the com pany have played "The Blue Mouse" with Miss Bunting on several occasions be- fore and all of them are thoroughly up in their parts and in the business of the play. AS a result the opening perform ance will be as smooth as any during the week, and as complete.
 The Bijou has a performance every night, and matinees on Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday afternoons.

Villa made no secret to Moore of the fact that he was the former top sergeant of D Troop of the Tenth cavalry.

 Golasby. or Villa. as he now prefers to he known, is the type of a man wno could readily pass for a Mexican He Is not an educated man. hut his natural iu telligence Is such that he deserves the admiration of every one. From an eN- listed man in the United states army to generalship of force that bids fair t. conquer all Mexico is long step and any man who can make it is deserving ot all credit.
 Gen. Villa history prior to 10 or is years ago is shrouded in mystery. Ha never has divulged any information con corning it. as far as the records show. Haynes. who was a clean-cut man. and man Of considerable education. is willing to swear that in Villa he recQl,nizes hts old top cutter as tho first Sergeant of a company of troop in the United States army is generally referred Co. Not oulA. he says. doas he recognize him from ,lis published pictures. but he was at some palms 10 follow Villas career after he left the United States service.
 Gen. Villa is easily the foremost figure in Mexico at present. not excepting Pres Huerta. and the conStimtioualist leader. Carranza, under the latter of whose ban her Villa is enlisted. Under the most ad- verse circumstances and handicapped by a lack of arms and ammunition, the lead CT of the insurrectos has displayed gem eralship unique in the annals of even revolution-swept Mexico. He shows in IL. he had military experience before his out law days-days of which he now boasts.

 the act is big feature. and the stage
 atting is complete and beautiful A Per sian garden scene permits of the very lest of electrical effects and scenery. and the producers have taken full ad- vantage of the opportunity to present something dazzlingly beautiful.
 Ismed, a famous Turkish pianist, will be the extra added attraction of the bill. and he is said to be extremely brilliant as a musician. He Is one of the greatest novelties and biggest single attractions imported from the Orient in a long time, and appears in Turkish costume and Q Turkish setting.
 Grace Wilson, That's AL" will present l most pleasing act consisting of popular songs, mostly restricted to her own use, and sung in her individual way. She en- joys a reputation of being extremely clever

Nathan and Mrs William Todd Hell meth.
 At the close of the performance Dr. Shaw was asked tc pass judgment on the film.
 That film has my decided approval, l, said pr. Shaw emphatically, T cana see how it~would be possible to depict that sort of life to the inexperienced who need teaching without showing the revoltingi conditions. It teaches valu- able lesson to young women in shops and factories and to those who come alone and friendiess to great city These latter are in the greatest dan ger, think, and an unscruplous older woman who shows affection and per sonal interest can lure them away as easy victims.
 q see no harm or danger in such film as this, but l do see great pos sibilties Of help. If we are to have vice plays in moving picture theatres, there is the right kind.''
 Tt seems to me- Dr. Shaw added thoughtfully. that this play should be sent all over the country. The parents need the warning even more than do their children. There is a real need of educating the parents"

CURIOUS
Mays OF Sleeping By Birds
And Animals
London News)


Most persons probably sleep lying
con the right or left side OF the body, |
with the knees drawn up toward the
chin. But certain African tribes lie
~-on the back, and let the head, or
rather the back of the neck, rest on a
bar of wood that is supported on two
-shcrt pillars. The elephant appar-
1-eatly invariably, and the horse com
znonIy, sleep standing. This is really
astonishing. Besides the difficulty OF
maintaining the balance OF the body
during long periods OF unconscious
mess, it would seem that there must
see some necessity for resting the.
muscles of the legs. Cattle usually
sleep lying down. and during many
hours of the day they lie down.
More curious still. there are Great
ures that sleep while they hang head
downward, suspended by the hind
feet. Among these are the bats. The
hanging parrots of India and the Ma
layan region have the same strange

either birds, which invariably sleep
with the head turned tailward over
the back and the beak thrust in
among the feathers between the wing
and the body-not actually under the
wing, as people generally believe. No
satisfactory explanation has ever been
Offered TO account for this strange
habit. It is followed even by the pen
gums, whose feathers are so short
they do not completely cover the beak
Certain birds sleep while they rest
~on one leg. That curious pose is best
seen in lolng-legged birds, like storks
and gulls. Ducks generally sleep on
open water; and in order to keep from
drifting shoreward, and therefore into
the danger zone, they paddle con
sgtantly with one foot, so that the body
is always circling round the chosen
sleeping area. The sloths sleep sus-
pended by their feet, with the head
tucked in between the forelegs. The
NO less remarkable African pottos, or
slow lemurs, assume similar pose,
but they attach themselves to vertl-
cal instead of horizontal bough, so

IL IL commonly believed that some
animals never sleep, but that is be-
cause they do not close their eyes.
Mares, snakes and fishes are creatures
of this sort, but all of them do sleep
regularly Whales and their kin are
often spoken Of as sleepless creatures
