TWENTIETH CENTURY
 MAIDS AT THE GRAND
Burlesque House Is Proving Popular With Lovers of This Class of
 Entertainment

The patrons at the Grand theatre have treat in store for them this week the attraction being Charles Gramlich's twen- tieth century maids. a regular eastern wheel production. featuring Miss Helena Hall and Al Bush. Miss Hall is not only a beautiful woman, but a very clever performer, an artist of considerable repu- tation on the burlesque stage. She has surrounded herself with a chorus of vivacious beauties that can be seen only in Broadway production. Al Bush the Dutch comedian, needs no introduction for he is certainly Birmingham fav- orite.
 Mir Gramich has no equal as comedian and producer as he was for five years producer for Columbia burlesque wheel and knows what burlesque show is. He carries his own senic artist ana spe- cial scenery. The prize beauty chorus is without doubt the best that will be seen here this season. Altogether this is the best burlesque show on the road.
 To say that burlesque has filled a long felt want in Birmingham is snown by the large audiences at each performance. If you want one hour and half nf enter tainment, fun and pleasure, .ake your coat off, smoke, if you like, go to the Grand theatre.

TO REVIVE "RAFFLES'
By JOHN AVA CARPENTER

London, May 12 (SpeciaD Some time ir the not distant future American play goers will have an opportunity of judging the results of unique international com bination arranged by that man of unlim- tied ideas and energy. Charles Frohman, According to contracts that have just been signed, one Dario Nicodemi, a pop ular Parisian playwright, will collaborate with Michael Morton, of 'The Yellow Ticket fame, in a series of plays for production in the United States and Eng land.
 This interesting a1rangemtnt came about through the plans that have been made to produce ''The Yellow Ticket not only in London but in Paris as well in the fall. Nicodemi was called in by Froh- man to make the French adoption, as he had written the French version of Rallies" Nicodemi journeyed to London to meet Michael Morton and to talk over certain details of the production. It was not long before the two playwrights dis covered that they held many views on dramatic art in common and Frohman quickly took advantage of the situation and agreed to take the product of the cOfnplneQ pfalnS.
 'The Yellow Tfcket' will be presented In London at the Prince of Wales the atre in September. rehearsals beginning in early August. As the Prince of Vale 8 theatre is a disgrace to London in the matter of it's appointments and decoration it Is to be hoped that Frank Curzon, who holds the lease, will utilize the summer to have the house done over. It Is now occupied by "A Pair of Silk Stockings, - one of London's much debated bedroom comedies. in which the heroine Is played by Enid Bell, perhaps the prettiest of Englands younger actresses, who recent ly was divorced by her husband because she admitted she had fallen in love with Melville Gideon, the American ragtime pianist
 Mention of Nicodemi's adoption of Rallies reminds me that, meeting Gerald du Maurier at the Garrick club yesterday. he told me he would revive Hornung's popular drama in the fall at Wyndham's theatre. Du Maurier is now playing in 'The Clever Ones," an Alfred Sutro play. but it is not going strong and both the young actor and his partner, Frank Curzon. feel the slump after th> big business of Diplomacy" Rallies was done by du Maurier at the Comedy theatre and was one of his most popular successes.

 In 1883 cobbett directed that the great box with Paines body in 1t be sent 70 his country place, Normandy Farm, in Sussex.
 Just previous to that time occurred the first step in the disintegration of the body. Benjamin Tilly, a secretary and personal friend of Cobbett, abstracted from inside the skull a small part of the brain. At the same time he took from the outside some of the hair.
 In January, 1Ss6 Cobbett's effects were sold at auction at Normandy Farm, The box containing Paine's body was not put up for sale. After the sale George West trustee of the Cobbett estate. took posses ion of the box. He held 1t for nine years and then, the recivership being ended, he turned the box over to lilly.

CARNIVAL OF MUSIC OFFERED AT LYRIC Five of Seven Acts Musical, Yet All Are Diff
 ferent

A carnival of music that would vie with May festival is offered at the Lyric
 this week. Five of the acts are essen tially musical either instrumental or vo- cal. and yet every one of them Is en- tirely different from all the others. The remaining two acts are acrobatic and dancing.
 For warm weather entertainment the management couldn't have selected any thing better than the bill, and the au- diences can sit in the comfortably cooled theatre with fans blowing in all direc- tions and enjoy the music and other specialties no matter what the tempera- ture on the outside.
 Frederick V. Bowers and company in Some Song Revue" will be the biggest of the musical features. He is a noted song writer and singer, and among his latest hits are ''O-U Circus Day." ''I'd Love to Live in Loveland." Nanny s Shuffling Dance" Teach Me That Beau- tiful Love-" "Dearie Won't You Call Me Dearie." and 'The Short Dress Ball." Of the old song hits Always" and Be cause' are among his best known. MT. Bowers was late feature of "The Sweet Girl in Paris All the songs will be new and the revue is said to be a big success.
 Elegance, warmth of feeling and a wonderful interpretation of the masters are said to be the characteristics of Elsa Ruegger. the cellist, who will be heard
 in Chopin's "Nocturne" and Peppers S "Spinnlied." From end to end of the country she has been the greatest hit of vaudeville bills, and for several seasons was the soloist of the large symphony orchestras, notably the Boston Symphony orchestra, with which she was the soloist two years. She Is assisted by the cele- brated conductor. Edmund Litchenstein. It is rare that an artist of Miss Rueg- gers reputation and talent goes into vaudeville
 Ray Samuels, the blue streak of rag time and one of the noted comediennes of the stage, will be third of the mu- sical numbers of the bill. She presents a series of the latest song hits from Broadway, where she is a great favorite and where she has been seen as the star in Ziegfield's "Follies'' for a couple of years. and in other big song shows
 The Chung Wha quartet four real Chinamen, who are original and talented musicians and comedians, will offer a novelty in music and comedy, and they have the reputation of being unusually good. Mildred Grover in her original songs and sayigs, assisted by Dick Rich ards at the plano, will be the fifth of the musical features or the bill, and she Is said to be particularly good.
 The latest interpretations of the mod ern dances from the European standpoint will be offered by Hale and Patterson who landed in this country only a few weeks ago after an extended European tour of the vaudeville houses. While in Europe they learned the foreign concep- tion of the tango. and a treat is prom ised the portion of the audiences which likes dancing.
 The Brothers Maritime in comedy tram poline work, 60 somersaults in 60 sec- onds, will be the seventh act of the bill

Rules for Summer Resorters

From Judge,
 Do not blame the landlord for the mattress. This will make hard feelings also
 Be patient with the canned goods, Remember that they are aged.
 Praise your landlords dogs unQual- ifiedly. They bark because they are pleased, not to keep you awake
 Thank your landlady for the atten- tions of her children. It is but an in- nocent curiosity which prompts them to explore your trunk
 Get on good terms at once with your fellow boarders. Maybe you can borrow money of them.
 Do not call your landlord a robber. He may be only a thief.
 Be very careful of your table man. ners. It Is quite rude to become ex- cited and babble incoherently If food is brought to the table.
 If you are asked to sing, do it. It Is their own fault.
 When strolling in the meadow, see the bull before he sees you.
 In plucking fruit from the trees, select the best. You are. entitled to 1t, heaven knowsi
 Do not allow the hired man to be- come familiar (unless you need a drink)
 Go home 10 days sooner than you expected to. This may save your life.

Exhibition Grounds Open

Londons two permanent exhibition grounds, the White City and Earra Court. have opened for the season
 The former Is holding what Is called an Anglo-American exhibition, but con- tains very little of American interest. There is a model of the Panama Canal and a really good sky line view of Manhattan from the Jersey shore. Far and away the best thing in the ex- hibition, however, is the "101" Ranch Wild West Show" which Is installed in the big stadium wherein were held the Olympia games of 1908. EarFs Court is exploiting Sunny Spain and here again the best attractions halls from the U. s. A.

Globe Chanpes Hands

Last week the Globe theatre, originally built by Seymour Hicks and named after that energetic comedian and later handed by him to Charles Frohman, passed into the ownership of Alfred Butt. manager of the Palace Music Hall. At the same time. Butt acquired the Quen's, where Potash and Perlmutter'' Is now playing to capacity houses As Butt also controls the Empire in addition to the Palace he now presdes over the destinies of more West End theatres than any other Lon don manager. There was a time when our own Charles Frohman gave signs of an ambition in that direction but he now seems content with the Duke of New York's believing, no doubt that he will not find much difficulty in getting ad- ditional houses on short leases should he want to produce On a large scale in London again.
