MINNEAPOLIS ORCHESTRA'S
 CHILDREN'S MATINEE

So much interest in the childrens mat inee of the Minneapolis orchestra has been shown that it was. found necessary to hold all seats for children alone until Wednesday next. Schools from all over the district are engaging them-since childrens tickets can be secured only though the schools-they will attend with teachers who are provided from every school. Birmingham was most fortunate in being the only city in the south to
 have matinee for children-a thing that has become so popular where there are large orchestras in the east. An interest ing story in Musical last week, in speak ing of the wonderful interest and enthu- sasm of the children during an engage ment of the New York symphony, said After finishing a number, MT Damrosh said: Children aint that a pretty tuner No tickets will be sold for grown people to the children's matinee until next Wednesday, at which time it is hoped all | schools will have been heard from.
 | Almost altogether IA boxes at the Bijou ! have been engaged for the evening en- gagement, and the audience promises to l be one of the most brilliant and cultured lever seen in Birmingham, from both a society and musical standpoint. Box par | ties are being arranged, among whom 1 are Mrs James Bowron, who will give her party in compliment to Mrs Vernon Bad ham. Mrs J. c. Henly will have one of the interesting box parties; Mrs. Angus | Taylor's box party will be one of the 1 largest. They will occupy. two sections
 Mr. and Mrs. John Makley will have a i small party, also Mir. and Mrs. B. M. Allen. MT. Ers}line Ramsey and MT. AIor-
 ris Bush are box holders; Mrs Clara Har- 1 per Steel, one of Birmingham's brilliant and beautiful vocalists, is a box holder
 Dr. John Davis has box also. and there will be others.

THE COLLEGE BOYS
 AE COMING SOON

There is always something distinctive about college boys, and there is some thing distinctive about the singing of college boys. This will be evidenced when the University of Alabama Glee club comes to Birmingham for concert at the Southern club on the evening of Feb ruary 21.
 There are better singers than college boys of course, and there are better songs from a musical standpoint than college songs, but where is opera chorus, singing society, church choir or any other organiza ton of similar type that can sing a college song like real college boys can That is the reason that college glee clubs are always so interesting. There is a brightness, a kind of fresh ness, jollity about college songs as sung by colleges men which nothing in the world can equal. The hackneyed songs of other days have new interest when sung by sprghtly fellows full of the exuberance of youth. There must always be family resemblance, so to speak, about the makeup of college glee club programmes, but each programme is al- ways fresh and new for each set of college men is different in certain ways, and each set invests the songs with a new sort of life.
 The Alabama warblers not only sing some of the old standard college songs, but they are giving programme of con siderable musical value, mixed up with the fun and foolishness. It is not often that a college club can give as good a rendition of the famous baritone song, 70 Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star, as Fred Johnson of the university club sings it. Then, too, all the singers giving solos present first-class songs, and the choruses are above the usual standard The
 Mammy's Lullaby a rhythmical set ting of the Dvorak Humoresque by Charles Gilbert Spross is one of the Ala bama's clubs offerings this year, and it also is singing Dudley Bucks intricate but wonderfully fascinating arrangement of Annie Laurie. "On the Road to Man. dalay," by Speaks, is another. 'The Sol diers' Chorus" from Faust, is still an other, and so it goes. The Alabama boys sing their songs in pleasing fashion, and an audience hearing them will surely for get all care.
 Society folk will be interested to know that dance will follow the concert at the Southern club
