Red Head Regiment
rom the Edmonton Journal.

From the Edmonton Journal
 The war has seen the organization of university regiments, sportsmen's regi- ments, bantam regiments, etc, all formed on the idea that the members have some- thing in common. Now along comes the magazine Adventure with the suggestion that regiment of red-heads be formed
 Tn all the history of the world" if says, there has never been a regiment With so distinctive name as would he tbat of the Red-Headed Regiment. the 'Red-Heads.' Yes there is laugh in if There is generally a. grin whenever a red head IS mentioned in any connection. No- body knows exactly why, and it doesn't matter anyhow. But when it is a oles- ton of fighting, there isn't so much grin ming, particularly by the unfortunate gen. tlemen who have to fight against the red heads. For red-heads are notoriouslv good fighters"
 Certainly if the community of interest idea is good one, the formation of such corps should proceed without de- lay. What greater bond, outside of blood relationship, ever existed than between men who have known what it is for a. street gamn to shout after them: Take off your hat and holler fire" We would predict for the regiment the most bril- liant of military careers.

A "Metaphysicianess'
rom the London Chronicle.

Mary Milford appears to have had a weakness for coining words with unnec- essary female terminations. On one oc- casion she writes about "a young crea- ture full of grace and beauty living in London like hermitess and teaching her little brothers Creek and elsewhere she tells of a most elegant young woman, regotiatrix of the forgeries.'' Worst of all is a passage in a letter to Sir Will Fam Elford. in which she says: "I be- lieye, my dear Sir William, that you will not need one to come from the grave to inform you that I am a metaphysician- ess Qs there such a word?)"

Even the two weeks did not suffice and the Atlanta newspapers are today announcing that the spectacle will remain until Chriss. mas, making in all three weeks or q total of 30 performances. Forty thousand peo- pie have already witnessed it in Atlanta and it is estimated that 10000 more will buy tickets this week. This breaks all records in the Georgia capital. Never until the coming of "The Birth of Ma ton had a $2 theatrical attraction been presented there for more than week.
 Interest in the local engagement will be enhanced by reason of Birmingham being the first Alabama city to see the great film-and-music sensation.

ever known. It is not a moving picture show as it is sometimes characterized by the uniformed. but a great throbbins combination of film, symphony music and realistic stage effects It is the story of the stouths reconstruction based upon Thomas Dixon's novel, "The Clansman," and enacted by 1S000 people and 30s9 horses on 8 stage containing 20 square miles. An orchestra of 30 plays the elabor- ate score which is fitted to the 5000 sep. arate scenes of the spectacle and alto gether the services of 50 people are em- ployed in each presentation Eight months and $500 00O were spent in making the pro- duction.
 Considering the patriotic and heart in- terest qualities that "rhe Birth of a Ma tion' holds for southern audiences 1t would be hard to imagine an offering more appropriate to the holiday season It is expected that the matinee and night performances on New Years will attract the largest audiences in the history of the Jefferson theatre. 1t should be borne in mind that Birmingham is getting the complete production and that it will be seen exactly as it has been shown al the Liberty theatre, New York, for the last eight months. as well as in Chicago, Philadelphia. St. Louis, Boston and other big cities where it has broken all rec. ords for length of run.

Henry w. Savage is sending to the Jefferson theatre his splendid pro- duction of the dramatic spectacle. "Ev- erywoman,' which was seen here two years ago and made such fine im- presson. It will be offered by prac- tically the same organization which was seen here before, accompanied by the same symphony orchestra. Liko "Benhur," "Everywoman" has won a place as one of the lasting successes of the American stage. Though five years have elapsed since it's first pros duction and over four millions of peo- pie have witnessed it, it's vogue has never been stronger than at present. MT. Savage has sustained the high standard of the production.
 Nothing succeeds like success; that's why "Sari' is being talked of and it's music played. whistled and sung all over the country, It has the merit to win success and success keeps bring ing ever more success. 'Sari' is a Hungarian operetta, therefore fresh, tuneful and sparkling. It is a Henry w. Savage production, therefore eX- cellent in cast and production and gorgeous in.r settings and costumes. It comes to the Jefferson shortly. It has songs and dances that appeal to every taste.
 The idea that humor is a peculiarly masculine attribute is amply disproved by the clever work of Margaret Mayo, author of Baby Mine," in writing that hilarious farce, Twin Beds which was the unquestioned success of it's type of the New York dramatic sea son last year. when it had a run of 52 weeks, and made such tremendous I -l.., when it played here lately Miss Mayo deals with the lives of three families, who live in the same apartment house but one does not have to be a "cliff dweller" to enjoy it's hilarious incl dents. it's witty dialogue or the crisp, fresh, new American slang 1t offers in such abundance. Selwyn & Co. are sending remarkable cast and prodVc- tion of this laugh festival to the Jeff ferson for a return engagement in the near future.

The tour of the company. which was halted for many weeks in New York and Chicago by the insistent demand of playgoers that they have further opportunity than that originally offered them to see the great performance of the comedy, has been one long cry of triumph for play and players and the producers. Everywhere the thea tres in which "rhe New Henrietta" has been seen have been crowded by the elite of fashion in the several cities visited. That there will be a reptition of this
