At the Majestic

For the first part of the coming week Wrong MT. Wright" sketch written by Verne Phelps and produced by Gene QIoney Cab Cobb. This little playlet is the best by far that Cobb and La Rose have offered the Birmingham theatregoer. The scene of the play is laid in the home of the Wrights MT. Wright objects to colored help around the home, but dur ing his absence his wife hires one Matilda Green, who makes herself indispensable, and on hubbys return Mrs. Wright re- fuses to fire Matilda.
 Among the surprises of the entertain ment will be the new popular song num- bers, The Yellow Dog Rag,' and T Don Care What Becomes of Me" Special scenery and new electrical effects will helr make the comedy riot, "The Wrong MT. Wright a success.

Sarah Bernhardt


 far back through the long series of her farewell American tours to re- call a time when her appearance in New York was signal for such tre- mendous iublation as it was at the Empire theatre.
 The instant the curtain rose to dis close her in the role of Cleopatra re- clining on a couch of leopard skins the expectant audience was on it's feet. For nearly five minutes the up- roar of braves and applause continued while the more impressionable among her excited compatriots stood out in the aisles and waved their hands
 Meanwhile. as the indomitable ge- nius of the French stage watched the excitement with a glow of satisfac- tion which entirely destroyed the illu- sion of the dying Egyptian queen, whom she was impersonating. you could see that in spite of infirmities and sorrows time has dealt kindly with her. At 72 Mime. Bernhardt is vigorous and fit
 When the curtain had fallen upon "Cleopatre,' the performance sudden ly took on the appearance of a re- ception, which gradually swelled into ovation. Rose Coghlan, another grand woman of the theatre, by the way, stepped out on the stage and read a greeting in behalf of the actors of America. The French visitor seemed bewildered for a moment then recov- cred herself. rose to a standing posi- tion and grasped Miss Goghlan's hand If she replied at all. which is doubt full her voice was lost in the hand chipping of the audience.
 Mime. Bernhardt will appear at the Jefferson January 23. Cleopatre, hNhaDn1 T "a l1a nd ''Enklish As It Is Spoken" will be the pieces in which she will be seen
 Two big headline attractions are half of the weeks bill is graced by company in "A Happy Combination, while the second half will be featured with Arthur McWatters and Miss Grace Tyson in a Revue of Revues." In addition to these premier attrac- tions, eight other big acts are billed. and Pathe pictures will complete a most excellent programme.
 Claire Vincent and company, the first half of the week, will present "The Recoil," great comedy that has caused thousands to laugh throughout America.
 A wonderful act of magic will be presented by Herr Jansen and com pany Five people assist Herr Jansen. and special scenery is employed to get the unusual effects.

 Neil O'Brien's Great American Min strels, new in every respect. will be the attraction at the Jefferson, matinee and night, Thursday, January 1s This attrac- ton has rapidly grown to be the leading organization of it's kind in America and that the reputation of the company may be still further enhanced Manager Oscar F, Hodge promises a number of novelties for the present season. Among these is a new sketch written, produced and played by Neil OBrien himself called "The Jit- ney Joy Bus, in which the star will be assisted by members of the company and which is described as a satire on the modern and more or less popular means of transportation. It is said that MT. OBrien has succeeded in this sketch in treating the cheap automobile in new and humorous angle and that it is a scream" of laughter from start to finish There will be a new song and dance num- Der staged by James German, the vet eran minstrel, and now a Broadway stage director, in which a number of expert dancers take part, and in which Allen Karle, the famous impersonator of fe- male character, vii be enabled to dis- play some striking and beautiful femi- nine furbelows.
 Eddie Ross, fresh from the London music halls, is again with the company. but he will have an entirely new mono logue.
 The final number on the programme will be a one-act play written by George NJ. Cohan called "The Bold Brave Black and Fans" and which was used in the recent Friars Frolic. This little play deals with affairs on the Mexican border, of course treated in humorous fashion, and is a most elaborate affair
 In the first part there will be all sorts of comedians and singers. Among those. in addition to MT. O'Brien himself being; Eddie Ross, 'Lasses White, Happy Ben way, Al Marto, Steve Werher Major Nowak, ES Lester Haberkorn, James Ba- radi, Eai7sHolnes, Leslie Berry and many others. Of course. there will be a street parade on the day of the performance and it is said that this display will be well worth witnessing.
