GIRL MUST
RETURN TO
MOTHER
District Judge Decides Against Orlene
Leeds in Petition Asking for
Change Of Guardian

The question Of the guardianship Of
Orlene Leeds, the fifteen year old
daughter OF DR.. A. b. Leeds and Mrs.
Ethel Gates Leeds, was decided at 1890
o'clock last night when the girl was or
dered by acting district Judge Cham
Jones to return to her mother, her le-
gal guardian. On advice OF Dr. Leeds
and her attorney the young petitioner
did so.
The case was taken up at o'clock
and the petitioner only was summon.
ed to the stand Orlene testified that
she had instituted these proceedings
through her next best friend r. r.,
Trawick, and that she had gone to her
father voluntarily; that she had been
studying the matter over for year
and owing to her mothers temper and
the way she treated her she had decid-
cd to make a change in her guardian
ship.
She further stated that she wished
to go away to boarding school in the
winter and to her grandmother in the
sumner. She cited cases of alleged
unkind treatment by her mother and
said that under these conditions she
could not do justice to her studies
while remaining with her mother
She further declared that she had
gone to her father OF her own yolition
and that he had sent her back to her
mother and had used no undue influ-
ence over her in making this decision
The girl weakened somewhat in her
statements of unkind treatment on the
rt of her mother under cross exam
ination by Judge Hamilton.
Judge Jones favored neither father
nor mother in his decision but stated
II often occurred that children Of fiji
teen imagined wrongs and i'll treat
nient and we're seized with desire to
leave homes in the best regulated fam
lilies. He decided that there would be
no change. He based his decision on
the grounds that the opinion OF the
girl had nothing to do with the matter,
that Orlene should be taught a lesson
in obedience and for that reason he
would not modify the previous order
Of the court This, however, he said
may become necessary later should
the girl refuse to live at home and
as a result let this condition interfere
with her education. He ordered that
the petitioner be returned to the GUS
tody OF her mother

 Critics and discrimiI/ ting public have agreed, that viewed alone from it's novel aspect, "On TriaI' reveals a subtlety on the part of it's author that is appreciated more and more as the Announcement is arrived at.
 As the title indicates, the scene Of "On Trial" is laid in courtroom. Not the regular stage courtroom, which is usually some ething of a farce, but a courtroom scene well carried out to the smallest detail.
 Not to tire the reader the dramatic effect of this nucleus play cannot be described It has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Newspaper advertising is generally and quite correctly regarded as the best advertising in the world, but there is one exception. The advertisement given by enthusiastic admirers, the personal advertisement of loving friends, is better, after all, than news paper publicity. This is peculiarly true of a theatrical production for there seems to be a brotherhood among patrons of theatre and news that a production is of merit will filter in some mysterious way, through Bir- mingham in night. "The Birth of a Nation,' along with other records, cap- tured this one-it was the best lip advertised offering that ever appeared at the Jefferson theatre. And in ad- dition to this the people were informed throughout the newspapers of its mer it's. Consequently, there were hun dreds and even thousands who were anxious to see it who were unable to accomplish it on account of the lack of available space to put them at the theatre. And it is for these that "The Birth of Nation is returning to Birmin gham So great is their num- Der that it would be advisable for all to insure a seat for the Griffith production by an early reservation For there are others who will wish to see again the greatest moving pie ture ever produced. That is a test of it's greatness. Attaches of the Jeffer- son theatre will tell you that any number of people saw "The Birth of Nation" not only once but twice and thrice and a few even five times. And never did they tire of it.
 More has been written about "The Birth of a Nation" than any other play ever produced but there is one impress sion which may be entertained by some

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS, FEATURE OF ''SAR|, :" A MUSICAL COMEDY
Light Opera Coming to the Jefferson Is Replete With Gorgeous Spectacle and
 Dancing Cuties

Girls, girls, girls. There are girls of all kinds-darlSs, lights and reds, in Henry W. Savage's production of the sensational operetta success "Sari," which comes to the Jefferson Thursday, February IT, matinee and night.
 No light opera is complete without girls who can dance and sing and pose. In "Sari" they are also required to wear gracefully the famous ahead of-the- e-rnodels' gowns which crea ted a sensation among the women when the operctta was first produced in New 1orn. They forecast what the women will wear hence and will make you gasp by the oddity of their designs ana the daring of their color combina- tiors.
 But, first of all, "Sari is an operetta and it's music, always piquant and lilt- ing, reaches real operatic heights in some of its solos and big ensemble numbers. It was composed by Emmer- ich kalman who ranks one of the three or four greatest writers of op- eretta that Hungary has produced. There are dance tunes that set the brain to swimming and the feet to prancing, and song melodies that sooth with their grace and lifting charm and stimulate with their verve and fire. Among the song hits are Love Has Wings" My Faithful Stradivari,"
 Softly Through the Summer Night" "Picll a Husband" There's No Place Like Home for You, Loves Own Sweet Song,' etc. The wildly hilarious Hungarian folk dance, "The Hazazaa,' Is the laughing dance hit of the cen tury. New York could not get enough of it in an all seasons run.
 The operetta has been given a typi- cal Henry w. Savage cast and pro- duction-settings, costumes, chorus, orchestra, and cast are all excellent. And 'Sari'' has surprise for the thcatregoer in that though an operetta, 1t has well knit, interesting, humor- ous plot with plenty of drama mixed in. It will keep you interested; it will keep You laughing.

NOTED COMIC OPERA COMING TUESDAY AT JEFFERSON THEATRE
''The Chocolate Soldier, :" Based on Bernard Shaw's Arms and The Man, Is
 Welcomed Back

"The Chocolate Soldier is enjoying ity and has broken the old rule that Familiarity breeds contempt" In the case of this masterpiece of Oscar Straus and the Viennese School of Music, the familiarity that the Amer ican people possess of the "Choco- late Soldier with its captivating melodies and it's scintillating wit, has only made them more eager to repeat the experience Of an evening in the company of "The Chocolate Soldier ,
 This explains the coming of the eX- quisite opera bouffe that Oscar Stiaus anG his associates fashioned from George Bernard Shaw's immortal com edy, Arms and the Man." to the Jeff ferson theatre Tuesday, matinee and night.
 Not content with the strength of the companies of previous seasons and the widely remarhed beauty of the scenic equipment, the producer of The Chocolate Soldier" has sought to sur pass former achievements and to in- crease it possible, the power of spell that the romantic Bulgarian atmos- phere and the widening music casts over every audience. tF
 The Whitney Opera company is some thing of phenomenon among light opera companies, for it is, as a rule, of the management that every number shall have grand opera training This means a richer and more intelli- gent rendering of all the subleties of the music, and insures a dramatic unison which is all-important to the success Of an opera which offers as many dramatic opportunities as does The Chocolate Soldier" Such well known names as Tena Rasband, Syl- via Thorne, Aimee Remly, Andrew Hig- ginson, Nelson Riley. George Tallman, Madison Smith and the Whitney Opera Company orchestra of picked musicians under the direction of Max Fichandler, are az uarantee that each and every opportunity will be taken advantage of to the fullest extent

W ho have not seen the play that should be removed. The modern school of motion photography has developed a hybrid known as the stunt" picture. It exploits the willingness of an ac- tor or actress to risk his or her life for money. It rarely has connected or intelligible plot and depends en- tirely on thrills which it causes.
 Emphatically, "The Birth of a Ma tion" is not this. A sweeter or more logical story was never depicted than that which unfolds under the skillfuI hand of the wizard Griffith. It Is in deed a film with a play, connected drama conforming to all the dramatic unities and while there are many sit nations which call upon the actors to risk death or injury-and incidentally many were injured in the production, among them Walthall himself-and which are as thrilling as any ever seen, it does not depend on these for its grip on the popular mind; it does not em- phasize the spectacular, which Is means to an end, and it is above all not stunt" picture.
 Robert Middlemas has been added to the cast of ''The Eternal Magdalene," which comes to the Jefferson shortly. MT Middlemas is one of Broadway's recruits from Harvard.

 nounced "On Trial' the greatest suc- cess of all. And the announcement that it is to be presented here at the Jeff ferson theatre Friday and Saturday, matinee Saturday, with the original Chicago cast, has awakened more genu- inc enthusiasm than has been notice- able in many months.
 A critical analysis of dramatic of ferings would class "On Trial" as un- mitigated and unalloyed melodrama. It is the old triangle play involving the betrayed maiden, the trusting hus- band and the betrayer; but so novel is the treatment of the subject mat ter said to be that it will not be recognized in its new dress
 It is the decidedly unusual depar- ture from the regular course of dra- matic portrayals in "On Trial that breaks down the theory of the average authority that this time worn triangle

Man
From Judge.

| AS general thing, taken by and large, men are honest-except with themselves.
 A man will cheat himself on his score at golf, when he knows that failing to set down the full number of strokes does not make him a better golfer
 If he is a fat man, and is dieting to re- duce, he will shove the weight back a pound or two on the scales, when he knows in his heart he is heavier than that.
 Then he will tell his friends about go- ing around yesterday in 92," and taking off a pound and a half in three days by his diet.
 With these two exceptions almost every man is honest Therefore, all you need to do is to discount what he says about golf or reducing.

The work is described as an excel lent example of the drawing room comedy inasmuch as it is smartly written and deals with clearly defined types of people in society. It's hero is an earl, which is not to be held against him, as he is a most likable man. He says himself that he is self educated, having gone through Eton which it must be admitted is an eX- cellent joke to an Englishman. But the humor is clear and understandable and the plot absorbinb and concise.
 The earl is a widower who failed

to marry the woman he really loved, His mother-inlaw plans that he shall marry her second daughter, but the earfs first love makes her appearance thereby complicating matters. There is a little play of cross purposes and the theft of bank note brings about a scene in the last act that is calcu- lated to give one a pleasant thrill and awaken some suspense. MT. Drew is very much at home in the role of the earl. The supporting company is one of strength and has for it's leading woman the well known actress, Laura Hope Crews.
