JlNJl the Drama League of America,
now vice president and chair
man of oranization committee, will adj
dress the Birmingham center at it's
first meeting of the season, Tuesday
afternoon, october "a, in the Tutwiler
ballroom. '
4 Mrs. w. D. Smith president of this
center and the programme committee,
are very happy that Mrs. Best has con-
scented to visit Birmingham upon this
occasion. and are proud to present her
as the first. attraction. To Mrs Best,
perhaps, more than to any other one
person, should be given the praise for
the organization and success of the
Drama League of America.
She is a woman of splendid person
atty, not the least bit of high
brow" though she is regarded as a
drama expert, according to those who
know Mrs. Best personally.
= She is in great demand by the CEN
tiers and clubs all over the country.
Birmingham will on this occasion
have the pleasure of hearing Miss
Elizabeth Jordan sing and play. She
is the daughter of DR.. and Mrs. w. M.
Jordan, and has rare and wonderful
musical talent. She has been in New
York several seasons studying with
best teachers, both voice and plano.
Miss Jordan plays her own accom-
paniments, something very charming
and picturesque.
This will be her first appearance be-
fore a Birmingham audience and every
one will want to hear her on this very
suspicious occasion.
Thus, on October "a will begin the
Drama league activities and the pros
poets that this organization will
be even more popular than last year.
All meetings of the league, executive
board, committee meetings and open
meetings will be held at the Tutwiler
hotel
There is much interest being dis
played in the opening of the Young
Wonien's Christian association gym

esthetic dancing, says Miss Mamie E.
Lum, physical director, who is one OF
Birminghams loveliest and most at
tractiye young women and who will

of the past years and the plans for
(. this.

the department of physical education.
and is already doing some wonderful
work in this department.
