Numbers for May Festival of Rare Charm-0rchestra Programme
 Is Rich and Varied

Preparations in hand for the May Music festival to be giveh at the Bijou on the afternoon and night of May !, indicate that the people of Birmingham will hear music of rare charm. Under the auspices of the Music Study club, the Arion club. the Treble Clef club and T. c. I. male chorus, the St. Louis Symphony orches- tra will come to Birmingham. give a matinee concert with their own soloists and in the evening assist in the presenta- tion of the oratorio, Lost Paradise with ITO voices belonging to the four musical organizations.
 The seat sale is in progress at the Cable piano store on Second avenue. and it is believed there will be two immense audi ences.
 The programme to be rendered by the St. Louis Symphony orchestra in the aft ernoon will be rich and varied The or ganization is one of the best known in the United States, and wherever heard is receiving the highest ecomiums. Max Zach, conductor of the St. Louis Symphony orchestra, as an authoritative interpreter of both old classic and mod ern music, is unsurpassed.
 Leonard Lfebling, editor of the Musical Courier, was in St. Louis sometime ago and paid visit to the orchestra during a rehearsal. He was much interested in the manner in which conductor and men alike worked, and stated afterwards he never saw leader who was more careful to bring out the composers meaning rather than his own idea of that mean ing, than MT. Zach.
 MT. Zach is one of the most scholarly

 MT Zach is the only Pole in the orohes- tra, though practically every European country is represented among the musi- | clans He was born in Lemberg, Galieia. fin Austrian Poland. Tn 1864, and though he early showed decided predieetion for music his father decided to make a law yer of him and but for his fathers early death he probably would have made music a diversion rather than profession. He had been taking lessons on the piano and violin during his school days, as is the custom in European countries. and when. after his fathers death, he was sent to
 the Vienna Conservatory, he was fully prepared for the higher work of that in- stitution.
 At the age of 19 he entered the Austrian
 army to perform his term of military
 service and was assigned to the orches-
 tra of the Thirty-first regiment of infan- try, as a member of the first violin sec
 tion. Alphonse Czibulka, the composer,
 was conductor of this orchestra. At the
 end of his term of service he left Austria
 and came to America to join the Boston Symphony orchestra, with which organ ization he remained until going to St.
 Louis as coneuctor nearly eight years ago.
 MT. Zach was solo viola player In the Boston Symphony. assistant conductor
 and official aecompanst for the orches- tra Also he acted as conductor during several of the orchestra's S summer tours, and was conductor of the Pop" concerts given by that orchestra from 1895 until 1907. when he went to St. Louis. Mir Zach took charge of the St. Louis orchestra at the time the St. Louis Sym phony society disbanded the chorus that was a part of the organization, to con centrate upon the upbuiding of the or i chestra and Is in reality the father of the present splendid organization. He has | built it up from an orchestra of 40 men ! to its present strength of 70 trained musi- | clans, and has made it one of the best or l chestras in the country. according to the ! statements of artists who have appeared
 under it's auspices in the last two years. 1 At the night performance at the Bijou-. | Paradise Lost" Rienzi Thomas of Bir-

RAINEY'S AFRICAN
 HUNT AT MAJESTIC
Most Remarkable Picture of Wild An imals and Hunting Ever Made Are
 Shown Here for First Time

With continuous performances every day from Il a. m. to 10:30 p. m., the Ma
 jestic will be opened this week with what is probably the most remarkab ble motion picture feature ever shown in Birming- ham, The pictures are the famous Paul J. Rainey African hunt features, and show this we'll known Cleveland society man and sportsman, with his company of $50 natives, scientists, physicians and motion picture men during years hunt in Africa, where they brought down many of hte widest animal.
 There are six reels. showing the Safari hunt or expedition and the beginning of the trip; trapping the hyena and MT. Tarleton's famous animal farm in Africa. the only one of the kind in the world; the ostrict farm and the leopard hunt; all the wild animals at the water hole; va rious wild animals in their native heath: killing the rhino; monkeys playing, and the lion hunt. There are several hundred scenes, among them more than one that is intensely interesting and tragic.
 MT. Rainey undertook his big game hunt at first merely from the point of sport He was the first African big game hun- ter to provide that the wonderful scenes he saw and the strange experiences he passed through should be preserved for the delectation of the American public, through the medium of the motion pie lure, colored slide and lecturer. Accom- panying his expedition was a large corps of expert photographers and motion pie ture camera operators, and whenever there was a hunt to be undertaken. or a dangerous trip into the jungles these intrepid men of the camera and film were in the forefront.
 The Rainey expedition consisted of 35 white men. 325 black men. 135 camels, 40 horses. 50 dogs b oxen, and 150 sheep on the hoof. Mir Rainey.

Beetle which is considered the greatest dramatic act in vaudeville. The act. just as presented here, was the feature attrac- tion of, the Lambs Gambol in New York recently and was declared the strongest dramatic offering that has appeared be- fore this famous club in several years.
 "The Green Beetle" tells of the visit of a man and wife to Chinese curio shop in New York to purchase ring for their little daughter. The Chinaman a suave, we'll educated man, becomes in- fatuated with the wife and drugs the tea served The husband dies from the drug and the woman is born away to the Chin aman's home. where she is kept for To years The second scene takes place l5 years later, and is the occasion of the daughter visiting the shop with her fiancee to make some purchases. See Yup, the Chinaman, becomes infatuated with the daughter. and drugs her tea also. The now demented mother recognizes the green beetle worn by her daughter, and snatches the cup of tea from the girl s hand. In a fit of desperation she scratches the hand of See Yup with poisoned fan and dies at his feet. The staging is gor- geous. the company excellent and the playlet strong and dramatic.
 The Savannah Press has the following to say of the Verigraph, one of the fea- lures this week:
 The most remarkable pictures ever shown in Savannah are being exhibited at the Bijou theatre this week in the verigraph. It is truly an optical sensa- tion.. Ordinarily. in pictures. but two di- mensions--heighth and breadth-are shown; but in these wonderful pictures the depth -prospective-is shown to a re- markable degree. The scenes are some of the most beautiful ever exhibited. Views in New York city, from the tops of skyscrapers the busy corners, views of Riverside drive, the fashionable resi- dential section; scenes in Europe and nu- merous other interesting pictures are shown.
 Charles Prelle's Miniature Circus. which is a great animal act, introducing as it's particular climax the Robbery of the Overland Mail" in dog pantomime, is an other of the features this week. Mae West, the eccentric comedienne, who can get as much, if not more, out of a song or a story that most people on the stage, and Milt Collins. known ais the Speaker of the House." in philosophical mono logue on current events, are two single acts that will delight the audiences, while the Three Melvin Brothers prom ise to be an acrobatic feature. The sev- enth of the acts for the week is Fred Warren and Fife Conley in a classy
