To be a success a musical comedy must have talented principals, tuneful music, a libretto with some claim to originality, even if the claim is not sustained, pretty girls and evidences that attention has been paid to such matters as costumes and scenery Have Heart" the Henry W. Saw age piece, which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night to hign- ly receptive audience has all these desirable qualities in full measure. Its popularity was established long since in the east and while it comes to us somewhat late, it has lost none of it's power to provide choice entertain ment.
 A large and well balanced company gave a performance which sparkled at times and was good all the way through. Joseph Keno, comedia T whose eccentricities are the mirth provoking sort, plays the part orig inally taken by Billy B. Van, also ia vorably known to Birmingham thea tregoers. MT. Keno works hard and never fails to get results. He is a ver- satile and amusing fellow and dancer withal who defies the laws of gray ity. Miss Cecilia Wright proved to le an engaging prima donna with an ex- cellent voice. She played Peggy Schconmaker with grace and distinc- tion.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Whether this will carry weight in the reaffirmation or revision of the prices. January 1. is yet to be shown. No definite decision on this question growing out of conference of iron and steel producers and government repre- sentatives at Washington this week, had been formulated, but belief is stronger that no change may be made at this time
 According to Washington representa- tives, the conference was more occu- pied with maintenance of production and prompt filling of government needs, than with prices.
 Between speculation over further price revision and concerning further spas- modic plant operations, now rendered more precarious by countrywide storms of unusual severity. the industry has passed through another week of unset clement. The storm factor has been of great importance, Reeardino ''"'sH '"lir cries. it has caused further banking of blast furnaces. Lack of coal has brought about wholesale closing of steel works and finishing plants.
 Selling of pig iron for the last half of 1918 is becoming more important. With out expectation, this business has been done on the agreed basis of $33 furnace, and is not subject to later revision.

Cleveland, December 12.-(Special) Iron Trade today says: The effect of re- cent priority orders forbidding ship ments of iron and steel for specified purposes which are considered as non essential to war is more apparent. Much tonnage for general consumers on mill books virtually has been nullified by this action The result has been strong con centration of shipments in certain chan nels of domestic trade not under the ban. These consumers have been receiv- ing more tonnage and on different basis than they had bargained for, and
 there have been accompanying compli- cations
 Some of the mills have been able to catch up considerably on deferred deliv- cries. Before adjustment to the original fixed prices scarcely has been more than half completed, the iron and steel indus try finds itself weighing possibilities whether or not it will be obliged to carry out this realgnment on still lower level basis Prices. differentials and extras to conform to the September 25 ana subsequent announcements are still to be put into effect formally in many lines
