The performance of George Arlss in Lcuis N. Parkers comedy, '.Disraeff. D which will be presented for the first time here at the Jefferson theatre Monday and Tuesday, with matinee Tuesday, is said to demonstrate two things-the brilliant art of MT. Arliss and the consummate skill and cleverness of Louis N Parker as dramatic craftsman. In association. the two present combination that keeps one alert from the rise of the curtain. providing by the devices of a compelling ly interesting plot, strongly emphasized characterization and witty dialogue a keenly satisfying performance. In the hands of Mir Arliss, Disraeli assumes all of the polished diplomacy, wit, vigor of mind and masterful will with which the great statesman of history is credited. The art which seems without artiflce has been said to be truly exemplified in Mr. Arliss brilliant interpretation The story of the play centers around the astute scheme of Dissaeli to cement the scat tered possessions of Great Britain by ne- gotiating purchase that would insure successful completion of the control of the Suez canal. MT. Arlss is surrounded by the same company that appeared with him during his one-year engagement in Mir. Parker's play at Wallack's theatfe New York.

B. A. C.. TROUNCES
 ALL STAR TEAM
Score 59 to 15 With Athletic Club At the Laughing End Manager Millilxen Challenges "Seniors" of the Y. M. C. A.-Doubt That Challenge Will Be Accepted
By RICHARD F. IUssIER

As far as the All Stars are concerned the city basketball championship has gone glmmering, for they were defeated de- cisively last night by the Birmingham Athletic club by the score of 39 to 15, in very rough game. It was the con clusion of the fans that the B. A. c. completely outclassed the Recreation boys and following the game Director z. Nes- DOT admitted regretfully that he had no excuse to offer.
 Of the game itself it was simply a repetition of last Tuesday nights affair at the city hall-the All Stars were out weighed, and could not get going against their brawnier opponents. Again Paul Ganong, the center of the All Stars, suf- fered from d weak ankle, and Clay, the B. A. c. center, finding out the weak ness of his opponent. rode him hard; and finally Nespor removed Ganong from the game and substituted Nelson, a youth who was completely mystifed by the fast play around him. This necessitated an other change by Nespor, but despite the numerous substitutions the B. A. c. seemed to get stronger and the Recre- ation boys weaker It was shown very clearly that Doc Glow, the Birmingham Athletic club physical director, was using better basketball strategy than Director Nespor In fact the showing of the team under Nespors direction last night sur prised his many friends
 Now that the B. A. C. have settled issues with the All Stars, Manager Will liam AIilliken issued very broad chal-
