"I'he Old Homestead"

That perennial favorite, the late Denman Thompson's rural masterpiece, "The Old Homestead" added more lau- rels to it's many triumphs of the past in Birmingham by proving a delight to an audience of old friends at the Jeff ferson theatre last night. Undoubtedly despite it's lengthy career. "The Old Homestead' is not unlike old wine in that it is appreciated by cannoissaurs who become sated of the froth and tin sel of light extravaganza and sex dramas. "The old Homestead" has all ways pleased in Birmingham, but last night the audience was particularly en- thusiastic The meagreness of the au- dience made the applause none the less pleasing to the company of veterans who presented the classic.
 As Joshua Whitcomb, Edward l.. snader is again the picturesque. whole hearted New Englander. MT. SnaJer has played the part of Josh Whitcom5 for so many years that it had become sec ond nature with him. As in the past the audience laugh with Josh in his happiness and weep with him in hls troubles. The laughs win by flat tering majority.
 Happy Jack Hazard, the droll tramp character who manifests truly re- markab1e reformation, is we'll portray cd by Joe Parsons. MT Parsons has an excellent speaking voice and splen- aid physique. He scored heavily in the rart last evening"
 Of the others, all of whom portray most faithfully the characters they as- sume, Harry R. Robinson stood fore- most. Charles H. Clarke despite his IS years, performed his part with the sprightliness of years gone by A re- markable feature of MT. Clark's act ing is that 1t is stated by. his com rades that he Is quite deaf and cannot hear the spoken words of his brother actors. However, he has been with "The Old Homestead" for so many years that he has timed to nicety the mo- ment for speaking his lines. MT. Clark was the same enjoyable Seth Perkins of old.
 Of the feminine members of the capable cast Mrs. Maggie Brcyer, as Aant Mathilda, was the same quiet. pa thetic old maid of other years, and her work added much to the enjoyment of the piece. Miss zenaide Williams, in the roles of Annie Hopkins, the sprightly society girl in the first act, and the kittenish maiden lady of an cient vintage, Anna Maria Murdoek, in the last act, proved versatile. Miss Mill dred Minow, as Nellie Patterson and Miss Jonnie Dunn as Rickerty Ann, were in keeping with the excellent per- fermance of the rest of the company. The playing of the Palms" on the or gan by Miss Minow in the third act vas impressive.
 A notice of '"The Old Homestead" should never De written without mem tiioning the double quartet Ed Y. Coch ran, Charles Ingoldsby. Joe Parsons Gus Wammerlee, Nick Voerge. William T. Brandt, Charles A. Cummins and Jess Call1ins sang last night uncil they were too fatigued to respond to tho in sistent encores of the audience. The vocal work of Mir. Wammerlee was par ticularly appreciated.
 "The Old Homestead" will be pre- scented this afternoon and tonight at the Jefferson, and will not return again this season R. F. L. .

To-day"

Seats for Today" the vital and vivid drama of New York life by George Broadhurst and Abraham Schooner which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre Fri day matinee and night, go on sale this morning. The same cast and production that was here in october will be seen here again. Today is said to unfold an extremely interesting and intense dra- matic story of contemporary New York life, and enjoys the enviable distinction of being the drama longest on the boards in that city during the theatrical year 1913-14. running the entire season at the Forty-eighth Street theatre. As clothes and the desire for their possession form the motivating power of the play, it is but ratural that the gowns shown in Today" represent the very last word of the Partisan creators art. To-day" is interpreted by George MacQuarrie. Helen Mckeller, Helen Judson, Amelia May born, May Herbert, Charles Greene, Jane Wallace ard Frank Kimball.

A FrOck of Striped Tdfetn

This afternoon / was at another de-
lightful little "dansant," and saw some
very pretty styles in clothes. The girls
there we're all very smart, and almost
all good-looklng, so It was quite a pleas
ure TO watch them. Coats and skirts
were largely worn, but most Of the girls
were sensible this time and wore thin
one-pece frocks or removed their jack
cts. The fashion OF dancing in coat and
skirt ie really very absurd, In my
opinion. For one gets so dreadfully
heated that really one cannot enjoy
dancing at all under the circumstances.

The Importance of Self Control

MY dear" said she. You mustn't talk

with. For that isn't the way to go
through life. You have quite the wrong
attitude. believe me. In world as kindly
and as cheerful as this, there's no need
whatever to he In the blues. And as for
priding yourself on being sensitlve-why,
my dear. II YOU were in my office for II
few days and gave way to depression
over every little unpleasant happening,
you'd be dead in week! Indeed you
would For although this is pleasant
and a glorious old world. it's working
world too, thank goodness. And when
one works hard, one literally hasn't time
to be offended and sensitive and all that
sort of thing. For work occupies ones

for moods there. / can assure YOU
am truly thankful that such should je

Hundreds my dear" was the quick
answer. But | should be ashamed of

Hardly a day passes without quite

number of what YOU call ups and downs.
But then I tackle them all in sporting

moods. For moods are dangerous things,
and you can't fool long with them. u
YOU don't control them. pretty soon they'll
control you. There isn't any compromise
possible. YOU know. You must Just sit
down calmly and think things over. Am

control moods" said the first speaker
thoughtfully. IL thought they were some
thing that one really couldn't help
Nonsense" said the other quickly
"You aren't so far lost as all that, my
dear. But II YOU don't pull yourself TO

The man or woman who gives way &c
nervous imagInings and the variety oI
odd sensations which may be classed to-
gether under the all-embracng term
moods" is sooner or later going to court
disaster. For in yielding to anything
against our better judgment and our com
mon sense we lose each time a a'shade
more of the self-control which is so es-
sentlal to the well-balanced existence.
There is no standing still on the road
OF life. We are either going backward or
going forward And it is entirely w to
ourselves to decide which way the path
will take us. We are the masters Of adt
fate. we are or certainly should be, the
captains of our soul But too many pee
pie are drifting aimlessly along ON the
sea of life without any sort of chart or
map for guide, with no fixed plan and
without even rudder for guidance. Small
wonder. then, If they meet shipwreck by
the way!
Life is something very real and some
thing desperately earnest, and 1t requires
all our courage and all our strength of
mind to face It in the right way and with
the right spirit. 1t isn't hard to make a
success OF things. For doing our best is
the only success that really matters. II
we can say at the end of each day that
we have given OF our utmost, lived as
best we know and been faithful in all the
small things that matter so much, then
our day has been well spent
But too many people can say nothing
OF the sort. For. instead of being master
OF the situation. strong in self-reliance
and in entire control of words and moods,
they are the unhappy victims OF every
breeze that blows. And to be at the
mercy OF every breeze that blows is far
from being in pleasant situation 1t
means, in word, that they make no
effort to control their moods. that every
little untoward happening every little
trifie, every petty annoyance throws
them off their mental poise, upsets their
happiness and damps their enthusiasm.
