IS HIGHLY PRAISED
 BY DRAMA LEAGUE
Robert Thach, Jr., Speaks of High Regard in Which the New
 Henrietta" Is Held

Robert Thatch, Jr., speaking of the New Henrietta which delighted the immense audience at the Jefferson theatre last night, and which will give matinee today and performance tonight, said:
 NO attraction this year comes to the , jefferson theatre with higher lndorse- ment of the Drama league than the New Henrietta" with the all-star cast. It IS a splendid comedy and with an artist in each part.
 we were particularly glad that this play came at this time, as our bulletlned plays so far this season have been Of serious sort. The Drama league 1n- dorses clean wholesome comedy, and when the company is excellent is glad to do so.
 '.We had a special letter from Mrs. A. Sloss Bert in regard to this play, praising it, and suggesting if possible that we invite Mr. Crane, MT. Arbuckle, Miss Bingham, MT. Ross and Miss Taliafero to appear at a special meeting of the league in their honor. This we did, but owing to fatigue and much needed rest, they were unable to accept our invitation.
 We omit the Drama league regular meeting Tuesday in order that our large membership may attend the matinee. No one, whether the habitual theatregoer or the one who goes occasionally, can afford to miss The New Henrietta

His addresses and sermons are widely reported in the press throughout the country.

 ''Dr. Wise is one of the most brilliant speakers of today. His personality is most pleasing, his style of address most attractive, his logic most profound. His is a happy combination of wit and wis dom, of humor and logic that compels the undivided understanding of his audi ence. His ideals are exceedingly high and he carries the least responsive to such heights that they cannot but see the beauty of the ideal"
 Dr. Wise has many friends and admir- CTS in the city and large audience is expected tonight.

 BRING RICH RETURNS ID MOVIE THEATRE
"The Strange Case of Mary Page" at Princess Today. Police Had to Clear
 the Sidewalk

Manager E. H. Colley of the Princess theatre announces the first installment of "The Strange Case of Mary Page in moving pictures today.
 The picture was shown in Atlanta yesterday at the Alamo theatre and the following telegram was received late last night by Manager Colley: "E H. Co1ley, Princess Theatre, Bir-
 mingham, Ala.
 Had to get police to clear the side walks in front of Alamo theatre. Hun dreds were turned away in dissappoint- ment at not seeing The Strange. Case of Mary Page MURRAY,
 Manager Alamo Theatre"
 On Sunday morning Manager Colley startled the other moving picture ex- hibitors of the city by advertising ex- clusively in The Age-Herald The Strange Case of Mary Page" over a whole page in two colors. This was the largest movie advertisement ever printed in Birmingham and was dis tnct departure from the past conser- vative methods of the picture men.
 q felt that Mary Page pictures warranted an unusual outlay or money in advertising" said Manager Colley last night, 3and the numerous queries I have received have assured me that what have invested in The Age Herald will bring me rich returns. In fact seriously doubt that the Princess the atre will be able to hold all who will try to see the Mary Page pictures to- morrow"
 "The Stange Case of Mary Page" is a serial picture running in story form in the Sunday Age-Herald It concerns the murder of Dave Pollock, a million aire, and Mary Page" an actress, is ac- cused of the crime.
 Of particular interest to Birmingham is the fact that Henry B. Walthall, a native Alabamian and we'll known as the Little Coloner' in The Birth of d Nation," is the featured star of "The Strange Case of Mary Page" Mr. Wal thall is supported by the beautiful Edna Mayo.

KIRBY DECLARES
 UNFAIR METHODS RETARD PROGRESS
Field Manager of Dry Goods Association Speaks at Business Mems Luncheon

Adverse legislation and unfair methods which are creeping into certain lines of business are the only two obstacles in the path of the wave of prosperity which lis creeping over the country, according to John T. Kirby, field manager of the National Retail Dry Goods association. . MT. Kirby delivered an address at a |tuncheon at the Tutwiler yesterday at |tended by number of the business men of the city. The talk was made under the auspices of the Board of Trade.
 In the matter of adverse legislation, the speaker told of the alleged i'll effect which would follow should the manufacturer be allowed to fix the price at which the retailer could sell his goods. The profit sharing coupon was pointed out by MT. Kirby as one of the worst evils which has entered into the retail business in recent years.
 The speaker urged the retailers to fol- low in the wake of men in other lines of business and cooperate. Selfishness and the apparent suspicion with which the different retailers had viewed the other men in the same line of business had re- suited in much harm to all in the past.
 Especial attention was given to the matter of the cost of doing business. MT. Kirby stated that the retailers of the country had been wasting vast sums of money in the way of excessively costly fixtures. The question of too free credit system was declared to be one of the greatest dangers confronting the average business man.
 In concluding his address, Mr. Kirby declared that business had every reason to be encouraged. Big crops at high prices better banking facilities, and the 4@ -lz- 11@I .A,tfxr With the right organization and cooper ation on the part of the retail mer- chants, the situation was most promising, he said.

MANDY FANS MOURN RAPTURE OF TWO
 OLD GR|D|RON STARS
Putnam Quits School Close on Heels of Williams. Conditions Cast Gloom
 Over Situation

Nashville, January 24.-The loss of Williams to Auburn, the withdrawal of Emmett Putnam from school, and the failure of the schedule committee to provide a football game for November of next season, have placed Wander bilt's football affairs in a chaotic con dition. Where it was expected conf dently six weeks ago that Vanderbilt would retrun another championship to Dudley field next fall, it now looks a If a large section of the bottom has dropped out of Commodore hopes.
 Williams, who was picked for all southern guard by several writrs last fall, left Vanderbilt to enter Auburn because of the lower expenses at the latter school, it is said. He is prod uct of Greene school, at Athens, Ala, and was one of the most promising line men that have come to Vanderbilt in years. He has already entered the school where Donahue bosses the athletes.
 Emmett Putnam, the New Orleans boy who has been Vanderbilt's mainstay in the middle of the line for the last three years, will not finish his college course, but leaves the university February to enter his business career.
 The loss of Putnam, Williams and Reyer will leave Vanderbilts line empty in the center next fall, as Hamilton will probably be shifted to tackle to fill the place of Cody, whose return for another year is highly improbable. Some mighty good material will have to enter for those three line positions next fall if the line is to be built up to a favora- ble comparison with that of the season just closed.
 Vanderbilt's schedule muddle is still unimproved, and it will be almost i'm possible now for the schedule commit tee to get game for November 4, which is at present open. Either the scrubs or the alumini will have to be taken on for a game on that date.
