MUSIC STUDY CLUB
WILL HAVE CONCERT
At THE JEFFERSON
lilly Koenen, Famous Con-
tralto, Is the First Stellar
Attraction of Season.
Large Seat Sale

With Tilly Koenen, the famous concert
singer, as an attraction, the Birmingham
Music Study club will open its season at
the jefferson theatre on Tuesday night
at SIS o'clock. A flattering advance seat
sale has been noted.
In 1909 lilly Koenen made her first con-
cert tour of America, and scored a sue
cesc which left so lasting an impression,
that almost simultaneously with the adj
vance announcement of her second Amer
lean tour, iS4uiries began to pour in
from all ss~rts of the United States-from
the leadng musical organizations, clubs,
symphony orchestras and festival so
cieties.
1t has fallen to the lot of few con-
cert singers of the present generation to
elicit the degree of unstinted and sincere
praise such as that which has come to
Tilly Koenen. Likewise it is an es-
tablished fact in the musical world that
only the chosen few have attained the
distinction of continuously drawing
crowded houses in such cities as Berlin,
Munich, Leipsg, Dresden, Amsterdam,
Budapest and London. So permanent has
been lilly Koenens success in Europe
that not until the spring of 1914 (when
negotiations were completed for her sec
ond appearance in America), could she
be persuaded to leave the country in

These figures and data come direct
from Elizabeth Marbury of the Mar

as George Washington himself has
nothing on Miss Marbury in the way
of reputation for veracity, the figures
must be accepted for their face value.
But hear Miss Marbury herself:

somewhat indignantly. "Why shouldn't

NA HRE ON BTLIY
SUNDAY IS BOOKED
FOR THE JEFFERSON
Hit The Trail Holiday Written by George M Cohan Will
Be Presented on Thursday-Tels Story of How a Bar
tender Became Evangelist-Much Interest in Piece
Owing to the Rumored Visit of Billy Sunday

The story of how a $100-a-week bar
tender became an evangelist, based on the
. career of Billy Sunday, whose impending
visit to Birmingham will lend interest to
the theme, should meet the appetite of
local theatregoers for the new Cohan
show, "Hit-theTrail Holiday" which
will be at the Jefferson theatre Thurs
day matinee and night.
The theme is handled with true
Cohan humor, dash and delicacy and
one is made to laugh at the things
which usually rouses ones combatiye-
ness. A delicate vein of satire runs
through the play and while the anal
ogy to the life of Billy Sunday, the
baseball evangelist, is not so close as
to be offensive. it is sufficiently in evil
dence to be recognizable.
The plot of "Hit-the Trail Holiday
isn't deep. It's a regular Cohan story,
told so that the American public can
understand it from the start and en-
joy its true to life features. 1t con-
Germs Billy Holiday. who comes to a

The son of the wealthy brewer of

on the Hudson for their honeymoon and
are separated so that Eddie Kettle, who
is married TO Georgina. Becomes mixed
up with Elsie, who has just married
Percy Darling, and the two are forced
temporarily to pass as man and wife.
Mrs. Kettle and Darling, in the mean
time, are supposed to be marooned
somewhere around the first statpn on
starting point of the boat, until they
turn up again in the last scene at the
Rip Van Wrinkle inn, the leading hos
telry of the first landing where the
abandoned infants can touch shore.
The embarrassing situation in which
the young couple are placed at diff
ferent periods of the action are said
to be well exploited, and much amuse-
ment ensues from the constant mis-
takes of which they are the unwilling
victims.
The performance is said to be nota-
BILE for the brilliant team work of Bur-
ford Hampden and Vallie Martin as the
two babes in the woods-the interest
of course centering in this enchanting
pair of innocents. There is no need
of certifying Miss Martins high stand
ing in musical comedy as most
dainty little frigenue with a DELIGHTFUL
voice, and it is claimed she never has
been seen to better advantage. AS for

manner--a style that has given the
American public more laughs than any
other writings for the American stage
The central idea of "Hit-the- Trail
Holiday" was suggested to Mr.. Conan
by George Middleton and Gus Bolton
but the play itself is entirely the work
of Americas foremost dramatist who
has already given the American stage
such successful plays as "Get-Rich-

tiently waiting is drawing near, for
on Friday, October 20, Ringing
Brothers circus is to exhibit after
noon anu night in Albany. Expec-
fancy never ran so high before and it
is likely that this district will send a
large delegation to feed the ele-

around the gigantic spectacle "Cin-

showmen are this y season opening
their wonderful main tent program.
Cinderella" is probably the best
loved of all fairy tales, and to see it
produced with more than 1000 per-
sons, hundreds of dancing girls and
glorious peageants, indeed gives
promise of making "childhood's gold

great tent will come the marvellous
circus numbers in which 400 men and
women performers, scores of trained
animals and galaxy of special fea-
