MUSICAL CONCERT
 AT THE JEFFERSON Arion Club Will Give an Interesting Programme
 on Friday Night

A musical event of more than passing interest is the concert which is to be given by the Arion club at the Jefferson theatre Friday night, January 21. This male chorus is the only one of it's kind in Birmingham and it's work the past three seasons has stamped it as a mu- sical organization of standing, and one to be reckoned with in musical circles When the Birmingham Choral association was formed the Arion club at once as- stunned an important place in the execu- tive councils, it being the only male chorus in the field. As the activities of the asso- citation increased and broadened, the im- portance of the Arion club began more and more to be felt, as the club had originally been formed pledged to choral work and doubts frequently were ex- pressed as to the advisability of devoting much of the associations time to the chorus. The Arion club, however stood firm for the uplft of the chorus, and this fidelity to purpose has been the keynote of it's success.
 The programme Friday night is an in- teresting one. many of the clubs num- bers being well known in choral literature The first number and the opening one

of the programme, is a big, beautiful anthem for mems chorus with tenor solo, "Whoso Dwelleth Under the Defense of the Most High" by George c. Martin. The anthem opens with a recitative for the four parts ''Whoso dwelleth under the defense of the Most High," and modu- lates into an aroso for the tenors, Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" The time changes as the chorus takes up "I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope and my stronghold, my God. in Him will I trust" The tenor solo which follows is a beautiful air, and the words are appealing: "FIe shall defend thee un- der His wings and thou shalt be safe under His feathers J. D. McGill, one of the best known tenors in the city. will be the soloist A short chorus follows this movement, and another short tenor solo, then the number ends with stirring chorus, Where loyal hearts and true stand ever in the light, all rapture through and through in Gods most holy sight"
 '.Arise, My Love-" by c. B. Hawley, and "The storm" by Edwin Schultz, are other numbers which will be sung by the Arion club Rienzi Thomas has been di- recting the club for three seasons, and his work this season has been splendid.

FAVERSHAM COMING WITH THE HAWK" Al.
 JEFFERSON THEATRE.
One of Cleverest of French Plays Will Be Presented on Thursday Night
 With Noted Star

When a man loves greatly and his wife makes demands upon his resources greater than they can bear is he justified in seeking the means to gratify her wishes through cheating at cards. Is it right for him to swoop down, like the hawk upon the birds of the fields, and take that which he needs? This is one of the questions around which Francis de Croisset has builded 'The Hawk" which MT. William Faversham will appear in at the Jefferson theatre for one night, Thursday. January 20.
 The play is said to be big with thrills, ironic and cutting with satire and very human in its appeal. The satire leads the audience to laughter and on the other hand there is at least one big scene in which the passion of a mans heart is barred. when MT. Faversham almost in- variably gains the tribute of tears. "The Hawk" was hailed by the critics in New York as the best French play sent us in many years, and unlike most French plays, there is moral to adorn the thrilling story.
 It is now several seasons since MT. Faversham has been seen in an essential ly modern role. Remembering the charm, wholesomeness and theatric ability which he has brought to similar characters in the past, his present creation holds out promise of being genuine treat In fact it is said, that in the man Dasetta he paints one of the greatest portraits he has ever done. Contrast his character lzatlons in The Faun,' Julius Caesar and 'Herod" to mention a few of the more recent plays he has appeared in. and we are made to realize that here is an actor who has rounded his art to the utmost, who is still advancing in that |art and who brings to his audience in leach, separate creation completed Istudy.
 For his company Mr. Faversham has

now Mrs. Robert Dolejsi, is known throughout the United States, and her appearances with great artists and sev- eral famous orchestras indicate her pf- anistic supremacy. Robert Doleisi has made a profound impression upon musi- clans here and has proved to be very popular soloist. He has studied with the great Sevck, and was admitted into the master class for violnis,s at the Royal conservatory of Vienna. He has attained success wherever he has appeared Rob- ert Lawrence is one Of the most popular singers that has ever appeared in Bir- mingham, and his permanent residence here is a cause for congratulation to the city. As an exponent of the Bell Canto method of singing, he is in a class by himself. His song recitals are a delight.
 Discriminating musicians and all music lovers will attend this concert. The Arion club has prepared a dignified programme, and yet one which will be most enter- taining and interesting.

AS very young girl she saw a performance of '"The Henriet- ta" and became deeply infatuated with the part of the widow and with it's imperson- ator She really gave up an individual starring tour when the offer to play the part was made by MT.

Kate Douglas Wiggin, the author Of "Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm" was dramatiZng her book for the stage at that time and witnessing her performance of Polly was so charmed that she requested MT. Joseph Brooks, the producing manager. to en- gage Miss Taliaferro to create the role of Rebecca. Her interpretation of the heroine of this delightful New England idyl aroused the attention of the leading writers of the country After a run of 400 nights at David Belasco's New York playhouse, the comedy was transferred to the Globe theatre, London, through an arrangement made by the late Charles Frohman with MT. Joseph Brooks. Edith Taliaferros triumph abroad was enpha- sized by the attendance of King George and Queen Mary and the members of the royal household, during the engagement in the English metropolis.

YALE STAR HOPES
 TO MAKE GOOD. Pie Way Says He Will Quit Baseball if He Fails With New York Giants

Some years ago, in Manchester, vt, there was a barefoot boy whose fav- orite stunt was devouring tIeIectabIe l pIueberry pies which his mother was l fond of baking. His playmates seldom saw the little fellow that he was nOt l immersed in a large section of pie, and so it happened that on the day 1 he first entered the school house near bls home he was greeted with a shout: Here comes Piei'"
 The name stuck to him, as nick names will, through all his years at school and through his college life, | and the announcement went forth re- | cently that the Giants had secured the services of Pie Way, the great Yale pitcher Way is out on the road with the Giants now, waiting for a chance TO snow Manager McGTaw what he can do in the pitching line, and the former college star is already a big fayorite with his new team mates. Incidentally Pie" has already shown the Giant leader what he can DO. In the spring of 1915 the Bull dog team came down to the PoIo- Grounds for an exhibition game with ! the Giants, on the day before the sea son opened, and Way did the hurIing for the collegians. He succeeded in l baftling the big Ieaguers to such an extent that only errors by his team l mates prevented him from scoring a victory over them, and he made such eIl HI IpIeSSlOn on MCNTra,W that day l that the Giant leader lost no time in opening negotiations for him.
 Way is a product of Exeter aCad-
 emy, where he won his first pitching
 lalurels in several spirited contests with Andover, Exeter's great rival And believe me" says 'ePie." the rivalry between Yale and Harvard is tame compared to that between Fx- eter and Andover"
 From Exeter Way went to Norwich university in NOrthfeld, Vt, and en- tered Yaie in 1912. He became a foot ball and baseball star on the Eli teams, being graduated this June. He would have pitched for the nine this year. but he had already put in two years on the varsity team, and as he played one year at Norwich he was barred from the 1916 team. Athletes at Yale are permitted to play only three years on varsity teams, and the year at Norwich counted against him. Some of my friends thought I was foolish to enter professional baseball" said Way recently, "but I do not agree with them. As long as was offered this opportunity by the New York club I thought it best to take advan-

 Jack Herman and StanislauSF Zbys- zllO, the Polish wrestler, were in Chi cagO at the time. The big Pole was meeting all corners, and Cutler and Willard showed up there one night to see what they could do.

 Can he wrestle at all or enough to make a shOwing?" Herman asked.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS NARROW.
U. s. Steel Was Pivot Around WhioF
 Most Dealings RevoIved.

New York, July 25.-Trading in to- days dull and contracted market was influenced to an unusual extent by the course of United States Steel that stock being a pivot around which most other dealings revolved. Publication of the Steel quarterly statement which did not issue until after the close of business, was preceded by a series of sluggish movements. StecPs initial quotation was at a slight ad- vance, followed by a full point decline before midday. This was more than retrieved later, but the final price left the stock unchanged.
 It was a fOregOne conclusion that Steel earnings would far 5urpass all previous records, but the total of SSI- 126,04S, a gain of 20,412,424 over the preceding quarter, was in excess of the most favorable estimates. The action of the directors in declaring an extra dividend of 1 per cent. also came as q surprise, but was accepted as an iudi- cation of extreme confidence in future trade conditions.
 Movements elsewhere in the stock market were mainly dOWnWards, with slight betterment due to short cover ing in the final hour. United States Industrial Alcohol was again under pressure, declining over three points before supporting orders effected al most complete recovery.

Cubs Defeat Braves.

Boston, July 25.-Chicago defeated the Braves, 3 to 1, in an Thinning contest today. Umpire Eason's de- cision, however allowing the run scored by the Cubs in the 11th, will be protested by Boston. Zimmerman, who had reached first on fieIders choice, came all the way home when F'itz- patrick threw badly to first on Saier's grOunder.
 Boston will contend that Thinner man should have been allowed to take third only on the play. Umpire EasOn ruled that the runner had rounded second before the ball went into BOs- toms dugout and was entitled to con tinue to the plate.
 Eyers and Zeider had a mixup in the sixth which threatened serious de- Telopment5 until players from both teams separated them. Both were put out of the game by Umpire Eason.
