 The play was originally given in Washington, has had long run in New York, has been seen in Boston and Philadelphia and is spoken of in terms calculated to please the actors friends and admirers. It is said to be one of the most interesting and en- tertaining comedies that MT. Drew has had, to possess an atmosphere of good manners, good breeding and to be written in good English.
 ABOUT EARL OF TESTER
 The story concerns the Earl of Tester, who is famiiarly known as the chief. Ten years before the opening of the play the earl was in love with a girl named Cynthia. Mrs. Bargus, being de- sirous Of securing the earl for her eldest daughter, was the means of putting an end to the love affair and thus succeed ing in her own plans.

 So many people were disappointed in their efforts to get seats for what is without doubt the greatest motion picture, play ever presented and so countless have been the requests for a return date that Manager Douglas takes keen pleasure in being able to offer ''The Birth of a Nation" for this return engagement.
 "The Birth of a Nation" swept the city off it's feet and the Griffith mas terpiece enthralled Birmingham as it has done other cities of the United States No other. production has ever drawn such tremendous crowds for II performances as has this epic drama of the southland Never before had the Jefferson been sold out for II con- tinuous performances.
 There is so much magnificent act ing in "rhe Birth of Nation" that it is difficult to emphasize one bit as more highly artistic than another but one of the most wonderfully realistic scenes in the production is the death of Flora Cameron in her brothers arms just after she has jumped off the cliff to escape the negro. Mae Marsh, who played the part made a name for herself with this one scene that es- tablished her as one of the greatest &C., tresses of America.
 The ordinary actor before the camera is prone to exaggerate is forced to do so to 'get it over," but there is noth- ing unnatural or strained in her depic- tion of the dying girl One who has seen similar accidents will be instantly struck by the marvellous realism of the acting Of Miss Marsh. Henry B. Wal thall, too, does a great bit in this scene, perhaps the greatest, if not the most striking in the picture. It is difficult to speak of "The Birth of a Nation'' without the use of the superlative. but in this instance it is more than justi- fled

JOHN DREW DOES
 NOT WEAR A WIG Announcement Is Made That Veteran Actor Still Has
 His Own Hair
Does John Drew wear a wig?

Does John Drew wear a wig?
 Without a moments hesitation you an- swer, ''yes.' And why not?
 Father speaks entertainly of John Drew when he was the leading man of the celebrated Augustin Daly company and mother has confessed that she admired him very much as an actor when she was girl. There is that bank clerk you know who has so little hair that he comes it with a sponge and you are sure he is not day over 40 MT. Drew is older than this clerk You are cer- tain of that. Then isn't it a bit sus- picious that you have never seen single hair out of place on MT. Drew's cranium Of course, he wears wig.
 In The Chief" MT. Drew is an earl and the guardian of a young and pre- coclous miss who has all the audacity of child. They have one scene in which the girl, played by Consuelo Bailey runs her fingers through his hair She pulls and tugs at it until you are sure the whole thing will leave his scalp in a mass No ''store" hair would ever stand the strain. Nothing could rivet it on except nature, and allow it to stand the tugging. The locks are made to stand up straight like the comb on a frightened cockatoo.
 And when Miss Bailey gets through you are sure of one thing and that is that John Drews hair is as much a part of him as is his manner, his inn perturbable ease and his amiable good nature.
 John Drew does not wear a wig.
