length of run in New York, Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia and in fact wher-
ever it has been shown. The company,
which reaches Birmingham from Allan
ia tonight, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the first to play longer than week
in the Gate City at a So scale.
The reproduction of the great battles
of the war between the states, includ-
ing the confederacy's last stand at Pc
tersburg and the battle of Atlanta,
would alone stamp the spectacle as
epochal in its scope. but in addition to
these one sees series of other his
torical scenes reproduced with amazing
realism. Among these are Sherman S
march to the sea- Lee and Grant at APP
pomattox, Abraham Lincoln signing his
call for volunteers and the assassina-
ton of Lincoln in Ford's theatre, Phil
adelphia, the night of April IA, 1865.
In the latter scene Ford's theatre is re-
produced from authentic photographs
of the period and John Wilkes Booth
is seen to leap from the box to the
stage after firing the shot that rang
around the world.
Local interest attaches to 1.-THE Birth
of "a Nation" for the reason that Henry
Walthall "the Mansfield of the movies"
is cast in the leading role of the little
colonel" Mr.. Walthall has several rel
atives in Birmingham and is himself
native of Shelby county, Alabama. He
is expected in Birmingham to spend the
holidays and it is possible that he may
attend the opening performance of

With enough seats already sold to
insure a profitable engagement, THE
Birth of a Nation will begin it's en-
gagement at the Jefferson theatre to-
morrow Night. The company, consist
ing of symphony orchestra of 20 and
a large corps of mechanics and cleo
tricians-upwards of 40 people in all
will remain the, entire week and be-
ginning with Tuesday matinee per-
formances will be given twice daily
at 2 80 and iS:15 p. IN. All of tomorrow
will be required for installing the pro-
duction, making matinee impossible.

spectacle" ''the great American play,

Browne, a New York newspaper man,
founded Every woman"
In the twentieth century ordering
of the moralist's pageant, its central
figure, Everywoman, young and beau
tiful, sets out from her home in quest
of love. Truth warns her of her dan
ger, but she gives no heed and, inflamed
by the representations of flattery, with
youth, beauty and modesty as compan-
ions. she begins her pilgrimage which
is told in five acts. She adopts the
stage, mounts to stardom, besieges the
hearts and money bags of men, goes
wild pace, and ultimately pays the
toll in the loss of the attributes she
holds most dear. She is deserted by
Modesty on the stage of the theatre; at
a midnight orgy Beauty dies; and fl
pally in the carnival of New Years
eve, on Broadway, New York, Youth
leaves her. Poverty and misery assail
her. but Truth comes timely to her sal
walton and guides her back to the de-
serted home of her earlier days where,
humble and contrite, she falls into the
arms of Love who has kept her hearth
warm for her during her absence.
The production is an enormous one
and the company one of the largest
ever sent on tour. A symphony or
chestra is carried by the organization.

"Everywoman," the dramatic spec

In this attractive novelty there is not

a suggestion of the ancient form Of
morality known as the morality play.
That form was eloquently made known
on the American stage a few years
ago when Ben Greet and a company
of English artists, among them Edith
Wynne Matthieson, presented EVERY

Skvscrapers were built, thousands OF
homes we're constructed, the business
section was extended beyond the Inn
its of the dreams of the most optl-
mistic. farms for miles around were
surveyed into town lots. A crash had
to come. There must be stopping
point. When it did come, the OUTSIDE
property was not worth the taxes, the
skyscrapers were so nearly empty,
they would not pay expenses, homes
were idle and rent was given free to
obtain occupants, that insurance poll
cies might be kept in force and busi-
ness houses were idle. Conservative
opinion believed that twenty Years
would be required to rehabilitate the
city. The Oklahoma spirit required
but one-ffth of that time.
How was it done? Oklahoma City
forgot itself. 1t quit trading with It.
self in buildings and town lots. 1t
devoted its energies to the territory
surrounding Oklahoma City. Selfish
ness was brushed aside, and Oklaho-
ma City took an interest in every por-

regarded as being in its trade terri
tory, the city had grown as far
as 1t could until all sections grew
more, there was cooperation with 9th

operation with the farms of the state.
The Oklahoman devoted its editorial
page for about three successive years
to talking agriculture. Friendship Of
the people was won, cooperation with
Oklahoma City was the result, the
wealth of the state was built up and
today Oklahoma City is an example
of active throbbing business, with of.

NEW SEAMEN'S LAW.

New York, Aug. 14.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship company. in pursu'
ance of its plan announced some
time ago of disposing of its fleet and
other property, has sold FIVE of its
steamers to the Atlantic Transport
company of Virginia. The steamers
so disposed of are the Manchuria
Mongolia, Korea, Siberia and China
No terms were mentioned in the an
nouncement today and the officials
decline to discuss the ma ter at this
time. The last sailing from San Fran
cisco by any of these vessels to ORR
entail ports under the Pacific Mail
flag will be on Aug. 25, by the Mon
golia.
Some months ago the Pacific Mail
Steamship company indicated that it
would withdraw its steamers from
the trans-Pacific service and probably
dispose of them because of the new
. law pdooCu ny 'iAC i'o' oSo
sion of congress, the terms of which,
it is claimed, made it impossible for
the Pacific Mail to compete with the
Japanese lines.
