{ INTERNATIONALLY EVERY WOMAN TTHHEE|| TTHHEE||
 WORK 0F FIVE MEN
Author Considered It His Life's Work-Died in
 Dire Poverty

To five men is the amusement world
 indebted for the production of Every
 woman," the peculiar dramatic spec
 disclose at the Jefferson theatre
 Thursday, matinee and night, though
 several hundred others labored long and earnestly in it's behalf, each one contributing his several portion. First of all, of course, the author, Walter Browne He was New York news paper man, a soldier of fortune who had looked upon the seamy side of life in many lands and under. diverse cir cumstances. ''Everywoman" was his lifes work. Upon it he expended the full fruit of his wide experience as an actor singer, a sailor, an editor, a lecturer, a traveller, and an educa- tor. He died in dire poverty on the l morning of the day of the first per formance of his play. Henry w. Saw age was the producer. But for MT. Saw . ages keen dramatic instinct it is doubtful whether poor Browne would ever have found a manager brave enough to invest s6O,00O,. which was required to mount the play. Other man. agers had read the manuscript and had handed it back, but MT. Savage scented it's value and spared no money to make the production lavish. George
 Marion was the stage director. Those who witness the fourth act scene with
 the roistering crowds on Broadway,
 New York. at midnight on New Years eve, will marvel at the accomplish
 ment 1t < is a triumph of stagecraft.
 Walter Burridge painted the scenery. Audiences are amazed at the fidelity with which Mir. Burridge' has trans formed to canvas the familiar things 1 of life Whether the stage of a thea tre at rehearsal, the apartment of "Ev- erywoman' in Belgravia, or Broadway, New York, with its, mellow lights, his brush has wrought a wizardry not cas- | fly forgotten. Last of the quintet re- spcnsible for ''Everywoman" is Fly
 Mayer, the famous cartoonist and mag
 azine illustrator, who designed the
 striking costumes worn by the S7 | speaking and singing characters of the | play. His was difficult task as the period of the action and the whimsi-
 cality of the idea required absolute ! originality.

BOHEMIAN GIRL AT
 THE ]EFFERSONFOR
 ONE PERFORMANCE
Has Made More Money for Managers Than Any Other Theatrical Attraction
 on the Boards

The Bohemian Girl" which comes to the
 Jefferson theatre tomorrow night, holds
 the record in having made fortunes for
 more managers than any other comic
 opera, or for that matter, any kind of opera in the history of the stage. It is no exaggeration to say that it is absolutely without a rival in point of popularity Think of a comic opera be- ing translated into over F languages and
 played in 12 different countries and suc- cess in every one.
 That can mean only one thing, and that
 is what the world has already proclaimed charm of an unusual kind It takes
 charm of an unusual kind for, a comic
 opera to run for years and have people
 boast with pleasure of having seen It from 10 to p times, and these same peo-
 pie are more anxious than ever to see
 it again, especially if given by a com pany capable of bringing out the beauties of this world favorite.
 Think then, with what pleasure the
 announcement was hailed four years ago was to make an al-star revival of the 'BOnenld0 Gl1l ana d1l1Ouilceu CdSt of principals including the foremost stars on the American stage.
 So great was the success of this re- vival that other companies made tours of the ''Bohemian Girl,'' but owing to the enormous expense entailed the all-star cast never went on tour but was split into several different companies.
 For over a year the management has turned a deaf ear to requests to reas- semble the company and take the orig inal all-star revival on tour, but finally, upon assurances of a guarantee from one of the large circuits they yielded to popular clamor and now for the first time the original American all-star re- vival is making a tour of the principal Icites with the original cast intact. as follows: Joseph F. Sheehan as Thaddeus Mrth Carmen as Airline Eugene Crowel as Devilshoof, Philip Fen as Florenstein Elaine De Selum as the queen.5 Dave Cronberger as the captain, Lillian Hall as Buda, Arthur Deane the count and the same famous singing chorus with Basil Horsall as musical derector and once again history is repeating itself and the Bohemian Girl is breaking more house records for large business than any attraction in recent years.

BIRTH OF AVIATION BIDS FAREWELL ID BIRMINGHAM TODAY
Manager Douglass Yields to Persuasion and Secures Two Extra Perform
 ances of Big Feature

So many requests have been received Tor additional performances of D. w. Griffith's epic motion picture drama, The Birth of a Nation," by those who nave been unable to secure accommoda- lions that the management of the Jeffer- son has yielded and the great drama will be shown at the Jefferson again this afternoon at 2;30 o'clock and tonight at S:15,
 Tn the demand for extra performances, 'The Birth of a Nation" is only repeat ng in Birmingham the records it has made elsewhere. In Atlanta it was to ,pend one week and remained three. n Richmond and in other southern cities he demand that it remain longer than cooked has been overwhelming. It s probable that the engagement in Bir- Iningham would be extended if it were not for the fact that 'The Bohemian Sirl'' and "Everywoman' are booked Ut the theatre this week, and it is inn possible to change these dates. Man. ager Douglass, however has done the pest he could for his patrons and has secured the film for two more perform Ances this afternoon and tonight
 No attraction which has ever honored Birmingham with a visit has drawn as has "The Birth of Nation" Nothing like it has ever been seen here, either on n< the screen or behind the footlights And the wonderful thing about it is that it has not been for one night or for two, but for Il performances. Mon- lay night the theatre was packed and he audience went wild Tuesday after loon, the first matinee, the theatre had )nly few vacant seats despite the fact hat it had poured rain throughout the day Tuesday night there was not a seat obtainable in the house Thursday Friday and Saturday matinees seats were at premium while the night performs ances were even more crowded. Today final performances are expected to set a record even for "The Birth of Ma tion."

Milk and Carnage

From the knickerbocker Press.
 One He'mer Rabild, who has charge of extension work for the dairy division of the United States depa rtment of agricul- ture, advances a lacteal theory of univer- sal peace. Feed the world on milk and all war will cease" says MT. Rabild, who apparently forgets that St. Paul was of the opinion that Everyone that useth milk is unsl1illful in the word of right eousness: for he is a babe" MT. Rabild explains:
 "Milk-fed nations of Europe are the only ones that are not engaged in the great conflict Denmark and the Nether- lands, the greatest dairy countries in the world, furnish the best examples. Switz- erland, Norway and Sweden, where the

inhabitants use much milk, have also managed to keep out of tine War; due to the peace-loving tendencies caused by their diet"
 If one might by heroic doses of milk and honey, or even of milk and vichy. temper the lust of slaughter in the wicked world, MT. Rabild would rank high in the annals of medicine. We may yet see the milkman turned co,porteur, delivering tracts with every bottle he leaves on stoop or dumb waiter.

ATLANTA PREPARES
FOR GRAND OPERA

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 27-The guar
antors' list, underwriting the 1916 sea-
son of Metropolitan grand opera IN
Atlanta and the South, was opened to-
day, and with it came the announce
ment that contracts had been closed
by the Music Festival association, as
surfing a season that would bring Ca
russo, Farrar, Scott, Amato and all the
ether principal stars, new and old, to
Atlanta.
The season will open April oath and
continue for a week, including seven
performances as in past seasons. The
tentative list of operas this year is:
Aida, Martha, Tosca, Madam Butter
fly, Meistersinger, Boris Godunoff and
Barber of Seville. They will not be
in this sequence, however, on the
program.
1t will be noted that the list con-
tains one revival, Martha" and one
novelty, Boris Gorunoff." The revival
OF Martha with Caruso in the cast has
proven one of the most successful ef-
forts of the Metropolitan in recent
years, while the new Russian opera
Boris" is said to be even greater
than THE Love of the Three Kings,
which was last years offering.

BYPRODUC7S FROM
CHEMICAL BECAUSE
Of WAR IS WORRY

BALTIMORE, Md, January 81
A subject which is attracting very
marked attention throughout the
country at the present time is the
proper development, through chem
ical processes, of the by-products OF
the coal and iron plants of this
country.
At the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Society of Chemical Engineers,
held in Baltimore, the possibilities IN
this line were brought out with startl-
Jig emphasis, and in the papers pre-
scented by eminent chemists it was
shown that no adequate scheme of ma
tional preparedness can be entered
into without giving thought to our in
dustrial preparedness, which depends
largely upon our making the things
heretofore gotten from foreign coun-
tries which enter into not alone the
manufacture of munitions, but form d
large part of our entire industrial
fabric
In this connection to note the re-
suits that have been accomplished at
the plant of the Chattanooga Gas 6.
Coal Products Co., Chattanooga,
Tenn, which is making coke with the
Roberts method and developing many
OF the by-products.
The Manufacturers Record in this
weeks issue contains an article
which describes what has been done
By this company.
With the completion of the benzol
plant the company will be producing
gas, tar, sulphate of ammonia, benzol,
tCluol xylol and solvent naphtha.
The present battery of ovens now
handles $50 tons, and Will probably
be increased in the near future to $50
tons, and is now yielding about $3.50.
GOO cubic feet of gas daily The part
Of this gas which is richest and high

purities and delivered to the Chatta-
nooga Gas Co. The remainder is used
to heat the ovens for the production
Of more coke, gas, etc.
President Lewis T. Wolfe announced
early in January that the plant would
be in operation before February l.
The Chattanooga Chemical Co., 4
subsidiary to the present concern, has
been organized to handle the benzol
output, and will use it in manufactur-
ing synthetic phenol Work has al
ready been started on a $150,000 plant
for the Chattanooga Chemical Co.
DR.. Harry Mccormick, professor OF
applied chemistry in Armour Insti-
tUte of Technology Chicago, and 4
leading expert on synthetic phenol
(the common name of which is car
bolic acid, has been retained by the
company.

tageous terms the ownership of con-
troll of railroads, public utilities and
Industrial enterprises which hitherto
have looked to England and to the
ointment for their financial support.
Investments can thus be secured
which will give not only profitable
employment to American capital, but
will, inturn, powerfully stimulate in
terest in the products of our indus
tries. The way has been cleared for
the progressive development of our
trade with Latin-America upon a
sounder and more secure basis than
ever before.
THE need for better machinery for
the financing of foreign investment
promises to be met in an efficient and
satisfactory manner.
There is probably more capital
available for foreign investment at
the present time in the United States

vannah citizen, was fired on by bur

amount of money Both shots missed
him.
The first shot was fired as the bur
glar slid from the second floor down
a post supporting a portico on one
side of the Myrick home at Forty
sixth and Amercorn streets. His tar,
get ducked behind low wall as the
bullet whistled above his head.
''As the men ran up slight en-
bankment north of the house, Col.
Myrick started in pursuit. The bur
glar wheeled and fired again. His
partner then sliding down the post,
yelled at their intended victim, Don't
you come on mel" He completed his
descent and both disappeared in the
darkness, heading toward the city
across a field.

robbers given. Both were described

Calling to his mother to remain out
side, Col. Myrick entered the front
door. He returned a moment later
upon hearing someone step on the ROOT
CT the portico. He was running to a
point beneath the portico from which
lie could head off the intruders when
fired on.
THE robbery of last night was the
second at the Myrick home within a
year. The house was entered last
February, but the robber was fright
ened off by a revolver shot by Col
Myrick before anything was stolen"
