 Is being seriously considered. Apropos of it. Sir Herbert Maxwell, the renowned
 Scottish antiquarian naturalist, writer and ex-lord of the treasury tells the fol-
 lowing curious story in the Times: Fish
 ing one day in a moorland loch with an English friend. we took shelter from a
 heavy shower in a neighboring cottage.
 I asked the good wife to bake some scones for luncheon. On the hearth was pile of white peat ash. She went down on her knees, blew it aside and there were the red embers underneath My friend seemed surprised and asked how long the fire had been alight, expecting, of course. that she would say since ! O clock or so that morning. But her re- ply was: It's just seevin-and-twenty year come Marti-mas since Rab and me cam to this hoose. and the fires never been oot syn-syne.

has appeared, and who in reality is star which some day will shine athwart a broader horizon than a burlesque cir cult affords. will be an added attraction at the Grand for the week.
 Mile. Pelletrau is a beautiful woman. As dancer she is remarkably gifted, and in the Grecian numbers which she pre- sents appropriately garbed. Few who wit ness her can remain unmoved.
 Another special feature for the week
 is musical number. "The Garden of Allah" which will be rendered by popu-
 lar Mae Bernard. the dazzling blonde whose theatrical career has been mat ter of pride to many because she was a
 Birmingham girl. Full of life and vii vacity, dashing and daring in style, Miss
 Bernard has many admirers who will en- joy her prominence on the programme These and other specialties will be in- troduced between the acts of Her New Husband" which has to deal with sev- eral of the tribe who mysteriously dis
 appear, "bean soup and covey of stranded actresses. among whom are Is- abel Drisdale, the "bellhop," and Mlle Vera, herself a dancer of oriental style. who is the "housekeeper."
 MT. Hook, the hotel proprietor in the play, is Dan Belmont, new acquisition to the company, whose quantles as a comedian are sure to attract, and Al Bush and Sid Cox, two well-known stars of humor, will support him in what is perhaps the liveliest vehicle for such yet presented at the Grand.
 Gladys Goldman, Mae Bernard, Ethyl Mcdonald and Isabel Drisdale, each with an attractive part. will be retained to augment the gay chorus of the Gay Widows" whom Charles Mack brings di-
 rect to Birmingham from Cincinnati for
 one week. the present.
 l As has been remarked, under the man agement of R. B. Kelly, who this time I has set a high-water mark for burlesque | shows in this city everything in the show will be new with the single excep-
 ton of the few extremely popular indi-
 viduals retained because of their mag
 netic personality and large following. ! New stage scenes, executed by the best artists, new costumes, rich and gay, new musical numbers and new and novel spe- cialties will be introduced, and at that
 still another added amusement may be
 announced
 Three performances daily at popular
 prices is the billing for the week, and | it is unnecessary to say full two hours
 amusement will be given those who visit the Grand during this week.

 The Chinatown Trunk Mystery, is uhquestionably one of the most in 1eresting defective stories of high class suaiity ,.y oeaiing with the battles of the pohce in their fights on the white siaNe and opium traffics and their
 ic'ims in New York City, portraying the true circumstances and conditions experienced In that metropolis some lew years ago.

 Miss kurtz will very cleyerIy por- tray the street flower vender and Mise wanna Leigh will endeavor to main tain her present popularity with the Birmingham. people as the street drchin, who appears at the right place at the right time
 Russell Hampton will have the op- portunity to excell his fine work of this past week as the character of an interruptions Spaniard and the genial and pleasing comedian James, will fur nish most of the comedy that runs through the whole action of the play as Brannagin, the cop.
 Miss Lottie Glenmore who scored in the part of the mother last week will be seen in the difficult role of the opium fiend, and as to her ability no recommendation Is needed
 D. F. Marion will take the part of the chief of the outlaw Chinese high binders while Ira Martin, Will Suth- orland, Mamie Patterson and the en- tire cast will have better opportuni- ties to show their real abilities This company of Orpheum players made such a decided hit on their first appearance here that there is no doubt Of the coming weeks play, the Chinatown Trunk Mystery" which will be shown as usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday matinees at c:30 and every night at S:30 o'clock at the Orpheum.

 Finally the prince proposed marriage and Poppea accepted him. She real fzes afterwards. however, that she loves the British army officer and per mits him to visit her frequently at the prince's home. who does not sus- pect anything amiss. The prince gets puspicious after several months, how ever, and with the aid of hiss servant, catches Drake and Poppea in com promising position.

Nearly a Lady," thoroughly delight ful comedy, written by Elsie Janis, who also takes the leading role, will be shown at the Odeon Two theatre this week. Many of the scenesare laid in the ranges of Montana and the cowboys of that country add greatly to its interest. The cowboys call Elsie's fiancee an English man, ''the man with a window in his eye" and have fun at his expense. Miss Janis wonderful dancing is of great aid to her in the play, and the lariat dance, which she does at the ranch house. is one of the most beauti- full ever filmed.
