COMEDY
ALWAYS POPULAR
TEAL DECLARES

The hold Of musical comedy upon
the affections OF the theater-going pub
lie is stronger than ever" is the as
|sertion OF Raymond Teal. VINO with
ais big company Is playing an indefi-
mite engagement at the Bijou theater.
Public taste in matters theatrical"
says Teal, changes about evevy seven
years. When you think that you have
things properly set for long and UNI
broken patronage OF this or that kind
of entertainment, you suddenly find
that the dear public is slipping away
from You and giving its attention 70
some other form Of stagecraft. This
means, Of course, that you cannot keep
the public taste forever conferred upon
straight farce or the problem play, ana
that even the greatly oyer-produced
melodrama is not able TO hold its own
against the uncertainty of dramatic
favor.
But musical comedy goes right on
in one form or another. and the public
never waivers in its loyalty There
never was q time when good musical
comedy could not stand firmly on its
legs in the face Of all competition.
IF you will look back with me you
will find that the good old musical
comedy was never out OF the race for
patronage. The musical plays viii no
doubt change, but while vaudeville
and legitimate dramatic shows move
around In cycles, you may take It
from one who has observed the trend
of his own profession, that musical

AID Club night 1t the Popular thea,
ter last evening was a big success,
both in point Of attendance and en-.
tcrtainment. The concert given by
the trio Of Australian musicians prob
ably was the best since the opening
of their engagement, and aside from
the members Of the AID Club and their
friends, the audience consisted Of
many lovers Of good music. The Aus.
tralian musicians will close their en-
eagement in this city tonight. On
Monday night. they win appear at the
aercdome at Fort Shafter, and in all
probability this concert will be follow
ed by one or two more In the islands
before the trio sails for the mainland.
Miss Purcell, the soprano. was in
excellent voice last night, and so was
Richard Condor. whose lyric tenor al.
ways makes a hit with the people. Viii
liam Conway, the finished pianist Of
the trio, did some wonderful playing.
The program drew for each of the
musicians repeated encores.
During the concert moving pictures
were shown. and this additional fea-
ture will apply at the farewell enter
tainment this evening.
Another feature OF the evening was
the rendition of song written by two
AID Club members, Bye Lo, Bye
Baby" the words by Charles Dana
Wright and the music by Carlos Ca
ceres. Miss Purcell sang the song.

DOSING MISS FANCY
 FOR CHILL AND FEVER
Elephant Is Entirely Too Sensible Beast to Become
 Prohibitionist

Miss Fancy. the children's elephant at the zoo, is entirely too intelligent an ani- maj to swear allegiance to the cause of prohibition.
 She proved that fact yesterday. She was i'll with what appeared to be a chill and a temperature. Her keeper filled a two-galon pan with a gallon of whisky, a gallon of water and dropped into the mixture 100 grains of quinine When he put the can within the Plaza de la EIe- phantius, Miss Fancy, dropping her snout into the whole, soon emptied the can. And then she retired to corner and With pleasant smile cuddled up to pleasant dreams.
 And yet Miss Fancy has too much in- tellgence to indulge to an excessive de- gree in the juice of the jocund grape. Some weeks ago, her keeper related yes- terday, a foolish fellow, tempting the elephant with popcorn, poured whisky from flask Into her upllfted snout. The old lady frowning and mumbling. waved her trunk in anger, and expelled the liquor in fine spray. The keeper hap pening along at that instant secured tho arrest of the villain, and the recorder, the following day, pastered fine against him of S5.
 In the keepers opinion that the fine should have been $500. many visitors to the zoo yesterday agreed.

Inside Story of Birth and Growth
 of Judges Five Commissioner Bill
Ny HUGH W. ROBERTS

In the beginning. MT. Scott did not warm up to the .five-cemmisioner" bill like a sick cat to the proverbial expressed doubt in the wisdom of the proposed plan. And MT. Tarrant and Mir. Hogan were doubtful. MT Tarrant as a matter of fact, was highly skeptieai. and it is believed that up to the pres ent moment. he ho]ls to his opinion that the proposed plan Is decidedly un- wise. It is even reported that he will not support the bill should it ever come to vote in the house. MT. Hogan. at that time. passed the subject up as a matter for future consideration He went to the legislature for the specific purpose of securing the transfer from Mobile to Birmingham of the medical department of the University of Ala bama. He was determined that nothing should interfere with his plan, and to trade on many honorable subjects in order that to his standard new and po- tent legislators might be secured
 Attitude of Senate
 Mir Welsh was also skeptical He took the position that inasmuch as he did not have residence in Birmingham. he should leave the Birmingham fisht to Birmingham people, It Is understood that whereas he favors the city manager plan of government and might prepare such bill for progressive Bessemer. he did agree to support the "tiive-commis- sioner" bill provided the members of the delegation in satisfactory majority should request him to do so.
 Despite the chill in the atmosphere re, Senator Judge determined to put the bill through the senate. It Is without difficulty that a senator puts a local bill through the senate. Senator Jones. as Is remembered, put through meas ure providing for the establishment of three divisions of the circuit court in Barbour county. The other senators as- sumed the position that the people of Barbour knew Senator Jones before they elected him. and therefore, must abide by his action. And the senators took the same position relative to Sen ator Judges "five-commissioner" bill They did not oppose it's reference to committee. its favorite report and sec ond reading, and had in their mind. no intention of opposing its third reading and final passage.
 Scott Is Satisfied
 In the meantime. MT Scott who had not sworn allegiance to the provisions Of the ve-commissioner" bill, con- ceived the idea of securing through m amendment to the bill the realization Of fond and long suckled hope He was very anxious to deal with the

LATE JUDGE GREENE FAILED TO ASK HIM IF HE HAD ANY THING TO SAY AND COURT HELD SENTENCE INVALID

R. Leonard Bryant. convicted before tho late Judge Samuel E. Greene of operating a gaming table and sen tenced to pay fine of $100 and serve six months hard labor was resentenced yesterday morning by Judge II. P. lief lin. The defendant took an appeal to the supreme court from his conviction before Judge Green. The trans, ript Tailed to show that he had been askod if he had anything to say before sen tence was passed on him. The supreme court held this in error and ruled that he must be asked that question before a sentence would stand
 On yesterday the defendants attor- neys made objections to Judge Heflin passing sentence on grounds that he had not tried the case and was, there- fore incompetent. Judge Heflin over ruled the objection and imposed tte sentence given at Bryant's trial. Notice of appeal was given.
 No prisoners were sentenced yester- day by Judge W. D. Fort as he Is on-

RESTRAINING ORDER
 AGAINST LIQUOR CO.
 IS ISSUED BY SMITH
Action on Petition of Solici- tor Who Alleges That Com pany Is Advertising
 Whisky in Windows

On a bill of complaint filed In the city court by Solicitor Hugo L. Black. a restraining order was granted by Judge C. R Smith prohibiting the J. c. Marks Liquor company from advertis- ing It's wares in It's show windows.
 The complaint sets out the fact that Solicitor Black is charged with the en- forcement of the laws of the state. among them the anti-llquor advertis- ing law recently enacted The relator ayers that the defendant company is engaged in the liquor business on Sec ond avenue between Twentieth and Twenty-flrst streets. and that in nd dition to a sign announcing the name of the firm. there Is one stating that the firm will ship whisky from an other state after July 1.
 He further ayers that to show sub terfuge the defendant had placed in their show window a whisk broom upon which was pasted @ label bear ing the word "whisk" and a metal key on which the word key" was pasted. and that when placed side by side they spelled the word whisky" Also that other whisky advertising was displayed in the show window.
 The relator charges that the above Is an open and fragrant violation of the anti advertising law and ed to show contempt of the laws of the state by use of a whisk broom ana a metal key.
 He asked the court that process bs issued to require the defendants tC plead answer or demur to the bill ol complaint and that restraining order be granted until the matter could be heard in court and that then a per manent injunction be issued against the defendants.
 The writ was served yesterday and the cause will be heard when the de- fendant makes answer.

day, and was buried Tuesday at Jsurges, N. c. He had been sick with Bright $ disease for about five or six months.
 When MT. Williams left Birmingham about four years ago. he went to Atlanta to become commercial superintendent of the Western Union for the southern di- vision and later his work consisted chiefly of inspection service over his division When his health failed about six months ago he went to North Carolina and was there until the time of his death.
 Mr. Williams had a wide circle of per sonal friends here who will be grieved to know of his death.

WATER COMPANY ID
 MAKE INVENTORY
In Compliance With Notifi- cation That City Intends
 to Purchase Plant

Arrangements are being made, 1t is stated, by the Birmingham Waterworks company for an inventory of it's property in compliance with the notification by the city commission last week that the city desired to purchase the plants. The in ventory will probably take couple of weeks.
 The inventory will be submitted to the city commission and if acceptable to that body the purchase of the plant will re- suit The citizens will then have he op- portunity of passing upon the purchase through the means of a referendum cleo tion.
 Should the inventory or any part of 1t. however. not be acceptable to the board of commissioners. a board of appraisers to be chosen jointly by the water com pany and the city will be named to ex- anime the property of the company and appraise it's value.
 The city will then be obligated to accept the valuation of this board of appraisers and buy the plant or else relinquish all attempts to make the purchase until after the franchise of the water company ex- pires in 1921.
 It Is generally believed that the nego- about 12 months before they can be brought to a focus one way or the other.

One sunday night during the recent Thomas J. Judge and Representative John II. Weakley. both of Jefferson county. completed the writing of n bill. It was a measure providing in the main for mn increase In the num- her of commissioner of the city of Birmingham from three to five. For it had among themselves conceived the Idea that the millennium could not be precipitated as long as the govcrn- ment of Birmingham was entrusted to only three men. So they wrote the bill.
 On the following day, the duty of the lawmakers in question, in order that their bill might successfully be put through" was to enlist the aid and CO., operation of the other six members of the delegation, viz MT. Tarrant. MT. Welsh, Mir. Copeland, MT. Shapiro. Mir. Scott and Mir. Hogan.
 When the facts were placed be-
 fore these six gentlemen they did
 not stand up shouting bravo"
 They did not shoulder their burden
 as a patient donkey. As matter
 of fact, they kicked little, shied
 a little and on more than one oc-
 sion threatened to run away. But
 the writers of the bill were patient,
 and in the long run. the majority
 of the six were, through vigorous
 compromises, partially reconciled.
 The Chilly Atmosphere
 When the new bill was first explain ed, Mir. Shapiro registered violent protest. He knew in his heart that 1t would be unwise to increase the number of com missioners from three to five. As a matter of fact, he knew that three were too many by two. And for sometime, the joint authors of the bill were fear full that with MT. Shapiro, they would have much and serious trouble But 1t SC happened that this member had a bill of his own. one to make effective in Birmingham the initiative even as the referendum was already effective. Ii was apparent to MT. Shapiro that his bill would never see the light of day unless sudden and remarkable aid was fetched to his standard. But he re- mained at ease and closely watched developments
