"Outcast''

"Outcast,' one of the most successful or the recent problem plays, was pre- sented at the Jefferson theatre yester- day afternoon and last night, it's second appearance at this playhouse during the current season. Two large audiences en- joyed the performances in which Miss Jeanne Eagles added to the popularity she had already won in Birmingham by her distinctive portrayal of Miriam. The part is one that calls for a great deal of skill and magnetism, both of which Miss Eagles has in abundance. She is one of the most gifted young women seen in sometime on the local stage.
 The play made a very favorable im- pression on its first visit and many theatregoers who missed seeing it then availed themselves of the opportunity presented by a return engagement. The story involves one of those problems to which latter day playwrights have de- voted q great deal of attention. Out cast' is a deeply interesting drama, well written and well acted.
 The same company supported Miss Eagles that was here earlier in the season.

A Happy Tale for All Who Believe in Love-"
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

Several years ago in this city a very prominent physician hadT call from a woman whose child had diphtheria. The woman was in a boarding house and the child had to be removed at once, but upon investigation it was found that al- though there were many institutions for all manner of ills in this city, there was no place for this child with a conta gious disease. So the good doctor took the lit tie one and it's mother to his own home. The story became known and the knowl- edge of the sad neglect among the city's S institutions, for having no contagious hospital or ward. was considered. Since the Children's hospital of Birmingham was started it has been the hope of those at the head of the hospital to have a contagious ward built, either on the same grounds or in close proximity to the building.
 After many efforts, last year the light began to break, and the hospital or ward became possibility.
 During a visit of the talented writer Mrs Helen Smith Woodruff, a former Birmingham woman, she gave a reading
 
 Lady of the Lighthouse" for the bene- fit of the proposed contagious ward and offered to give the entire proceeds of a story she would write for the purpose of assisting in this work.
 Alter several months of preparation the book was gotten out, and is now in tho hands of a large committee who is pushing the sale of it.
 The delightful story is appropriately called MT. Doctor Man and is the story of a Birmingham physician The doctor man is so charmingly portrayed, doubtless many physicians Tn the com munity would like to be him. Hhe story is founded on the spread of diphtheria, from one case in the slums of our city to the sheltered children of the High lands. This particular little boy, having strolled off and gotten into the shanty district of the foundries, tired and un- happy he seeks shelter in a deserted house and falls asleep on an old cot on which child had previously had diphtheria discovered sometime after by a district visiting nurse, he has developed the disease and is very i'll; his life is saved by the doctor, who for months had been begging the city authorities and the people of means to look into the con- ditons of contagious epidemics among the poor and to establish such a hospital as would be necessary.
 After some search on the part of the doctor for Christopher's parents and a long illness occa asioned from overwork, the doctor discovers that the child S
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-26

mother was a former sweetheart of his college days, and that they still love each other.
 But-here we spoil 1t all by telling it. for the chief charm is in the reading of this book.
 The authors note speaSs for the book, ana we cannot but feel what Mrs. Wood- ruff says in it's behalf is the best way to speak in behalf of the book and the hospital.
 Tn the heart of the sunny south there Is a beautiful Magic City but the fate of her children will not be that of the chil- dren of this story. The untiring efforts of the wonderful women on her children S hospital board have saved them from that, and assured her ruture citizens the opportunity for development into healthy and useful men and women"
 Long live the new hospital toward the building of which will go all proceeds from this book''
 The book is beautifully bound in gray board, with lovely picture of Mrs. Woodruff as the frontice piece.
 The book will be a lovely Christmas gift for .any one, dainty anc interesting it passes a delightful hour, but best of all is the thought that with the purchase of every book you are helping to establish that smuch-needed contagious ward.
 It is seldom we can so pleasantly com plfl5 tue Joy LII SlNlnS WllH LUe thought that the money spent for the gift is doing twofold-giving pleasure and doing good
 Every home in Birmingham should pos sess at least one copy of MT. Doctor Man. It is a real joy to have and will always remind you of it's real purpose in adding at least mite for the Chil- drens hospital

TT HE popularity of the movies
 was fully attested yester-
 day when every theatre in the city was packed to the doors, and especially at the Strand, where the management stopped selling tickets owing to the inn mense crowd within. With the pres ent high class programmes being served at nearly all the movie houses, the local public is respond ing in way that truly warns the heart of the enthusiastic exhibitor. In fact. the picture shows were so crowded yesterday that it looked like a Sunday crowd.
 Al IT. Wilson comes to the Jeff ferson today in "As the Years Roll On," a musical piece. In "As the Years Roll On" MT. Wilson, who is well known comedian and a singer of more than ordinary merit, will sing some of his latest songs. There will be matinee and another performance tomorrow night of "As the Years Roll On."
 "Armstrong's Wife," photoplay by Margaret Turnbull, in which Edna Goodrich makes her moving picture debut, made an excellent impression at the Strand yesterday. This Lasky-P Paramount feature re- mains over for today.
 Armstrong; Wife" is a drama pure and simple. It tells the story of a girl who fell in love with a gambler She marries him. There follows a scene in the gambling rooms-a murder-the escape and then the knowledge that the gamb- Ter has another wife. However, the good man whom the girl had spurned returns and makes rath- CT a chivalric bargain by marrying the girl. They both go to the Cana dian woods and again the gambler returns in their life. He is final ly killed and thus the story ends happily.
 In support of Miss Goodrich, the work of James Cruze as Arnold, the gambler" and of Thomas J. Meighan as Armstrong;" stood out. Miss Goodrich is pretty in the pictures, but rather stiff and un- accustomed to the camera. How ever, the entire production is more than good.

It is said to be a pleasant connection of comedy sentiment and melody prepared by Herbert Hall Wfnslow and Charles Horwitz. The essen tial scenes in the three acts of the play are closely related to the central theme. which is said to be of absorbing interest. The play in effect shows the contrast in a man at different periods of his life In giving to the role of John Van Fam three distinct characterizations, MT. Wilson dis plays unsuspected versatility. This sea- sen MT. Wilson has included Yesterday" Mother Mine,'' "As Years Roll On," and She's Left Me For a Teddy Bear" in his well diversified repertoire of popular songs.

At the Lyric

A good entrance is a big advantage to a vaudeville performer as 1t puts the audience in good humor, but Milo 't?' pulls one at the Lyric this half of the week that is corker It comes as a surprise. In fact, Milo's act is a series of surprises and put him. her or it (you can take your choice), in the good graces of the audience at once. Milo is great, great because en- tirely original, novel and inimitabl and gets by by virtue of merit. The act is one of the best of it's kind on this or any stage and ends in a riot. It's a peach.
 Temptation" continues to delight and will thrill the people and was en- Enthusiastically received by the three ca pacity audiences that were at the pop J. ular theatre yesterday. George Dam eral and Miss Myrtle Vail sang and danced into the good graces of the audience at once and were given a big reception. Edward Hume is a very clever character comedian. George Clerk sufficiently diabolical as the Devil" while the beauty girlN are all to the merry. The act is the sensa- tion of the season.
 Wallace Bradley and Miss Nevena Norris presented a very classy singing and dancing novelty. It's principal bined with the clean, clever work of the team, makes the act extremely pleas | ing.
 | Ford and Ramsey, comedy singers
 and takers, are fair. The opening num- 1 ber Van Dorn and company in scien- tific novelty, "Thermos," is very inter
 esting. The pictures are good.
