GIVING AMATEURS A CHANGE

From the Boston Transcript.
 Philadelphia is a theatrical laboratory this winter It is conducting very impor- tant section of that experiment in local theatre building which is going on all over the country. In certain ways Phil7 adelphia's part of the work is more irl- portant than the rest; for while Boston. Chicago, Indianapolis, Duluth, Madison, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities and even New York have felt the need of working out some other means of theatrical amuse- ment besides the long run and touring system of Broadway, Philadelphia is not only experimenting with locally organ ized theatre. it is comparing different methods. For three years or more it has tried the professional ''repertory" com pany at it's Little theatre under various- all too various-drectors. Now the hand- some playhouse has been given over tO ambitious amateurs who call themselves the Philadelphia Stage society and who have twice demonstrated their quality in the last month. Soon Philadelphia may judge the relative results of its theatri. cal experiments.

Atlanta and Music

Several years ago Atlanta was as musical as any other southern city, but I understand that when grand op- era week became an institution there, all interest in symphonies and artist recitals was gone,'' said w. F. Ditson of Washington, D. c. q visited At lanta frequently before the opera pe- riod and remember attending con- cert by a local orchestra which was very creditable indeed and on an other occasion a piano recital by a famous virtuoso A prominent man ager of musical artists told me Ter gently that Atlanta's only interest in music nowadays was centered in the opera that musically it was the dead est town in the country.
 Atlanta is a fine, progressive city. with lots of local pride and l am sur prised that it should not keep up with other cities in musical activities. Grand opera is great art, but it is not educa- tive or uplifting like the symphony or like music played by virtuosos. There is no reason why Atlanta, a city of 100000 population, should not have fine concert music and still make a brilliant success of its opera week. v

JEFFERSON AND THE sorHERNs

From My Remembrances," by Edward
 H. Sothern, in the January Scribner.
 When Joseph Jefferson visited England about this period to play Rip Van Win kle in London, he became a party to
 these occasions MT. Jefferson stayed at our house in Kensington. You who re-
 member the sweet and gentle Jefferson
 will smile to know that my parent told his children that famous pirate chief
 was coming to hide from the officers of
 the law. Shortly Jefferson arrived,
 wrapped up in a very large greatcoat and
 accompanied by his son Charles. who had
 met with an accident on shipboard
 Charles was carried carefully into a room
 on the ground floor and Jefferson and my
 father were closeted for a while making
 Charles comfortable in bed. When my father came out, and my brothers were peering through the banisters at the door of the pirate"
 "Hush!' said my father. There has been terrible battle on the high seas.
 The pirate chief will be hanged if anybody
 
 non balls. There is only one thing to do, and that is to give up eating and to stand on one leg. Quick! There is no time to lose. Hush." and he left us.
 Shortly MT. Jefferson came out of the
 room and found three little boys standing on one leg on the staircase
 1 Don't shoot!'' said my elder brother. "Bang." shouted Mir. Jefferson, and the three small lads fled in dismay.
 | It did not take long for us to make | friends with this terror of the seas" We were soon taken to see Rip" and then I we played Rip ourselves, assisted by Joe Jefferson In those days we played many plays. The rockery in our garden very readily became a weird spot in the Cat l skill mountains Sleepy Hollow and the with the swift magic of childhood ' I thought, which can make one a gnome, | or giant, or flea, or an elephant with 1 in the twinking of an eye. Rip was 2 great play for us. My brother Sam was a gnome and had to crawl about on all fours He, however, was very mutnous, and no matter what character we cast hin, for he would insist on introducing the eli
 mactic speech from my fathers perform ance of "Rosedale,' where the hero cries: | Up guards and at 'em.''

"OUT OF THE CRADLE"

By Walt Whitman. Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking birds throat, the musical shuttle. Out of the ninth month midnight Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond where the child leaving his bed wandered alone, bareheaded, barefoot. Down from the showered halo, Up from the mystic play of shadows
 twining and twisting as if they were alive, Out from the patches of briers and
 blackberries, From the memories of the bird that chanted to me, From your memories, sad brother, from
 the fitful risings and fallings I heard, From under the yellow half moon late
 risen and swollen as if with tears, From those beginning notes of yearn-
 ing and love there in the mist, From the myriad thence aroused words. From the thousand responses of my
 heart never to cease. From the word stronger and more
 delicious than any, From such as now they start the scene
 revisiting, As flock, twittering, rising, overhead
 passing, Borne hither ere all eludes me, hur-
 riedly A man. yet by these tears little boy again,
 fronting the waves, I. chanter of pains and joys, uniter of
 here and hereafter Taking all hints to use them, but
 swiftly leaping beyond them. A reminiscsnce sins.

Appreciative Theatregoers

'The management of the Jefferson theatre is glad to see the generous patronage that has been accorded the production of The Garden of Allah, !" said Brown Parks, treasurer of the Jeff ferson. ''The large number of people that have attended this wonderful show have simply demonstrated the fact that the theatre-going people of Birmingham know a good show when they see one and are willing to patronize something which is deserving.
 "The Birmingham theatreSoers are among the most critical and up-to-date in the south. Most of them go to the large ctes each year and see the new shows They are not the kind who un- Cerestimate any production with merit and the result is they are willing to spend their money to see something worth while.
 "On account of the many scenes, and the enormous amount of paraphernalia, the curtain goes up at o'clock promptly. The curtain goes down at 1115 o'clock. No production has ever taken the road under such heavy expense before and its success in Birmingham reflects the intelligence of the people,
