 Spending a Short
 Vacation Here 1 1E FREDERICK WARDE, the es- 0 teemed actor and Shakespearian lecturer, arrived in Birmingham last night, and will here spend the time leisurely between now and Christmas, while the all-star company he illu- mines is taking a needed rest. He is the dean of the histrionic profession in this country, and not only that, he is one of the most mas terful actors who ever trod the boards, and in private life man of engag- ling personality and charming con- radeship.
 Mr. Warde was born in England in 1851, but soon after attaining his majority came to the United States to support Edwin Booth. He was Booths leading man in the seventies when the eminent tragedian made his first southern tour after the civil war. Mr Warde has been a student all his life and is at once scholarly actor and a convincing platform speaker. He has been a distinct fla Ivorite in the lyceum course and he numbers his personal friends here by hundreds. During his short sojourn he may be prevailed upon to address the Drama league. He would meet with hearty reception and the local chapter would consider itself highly lhonored.
 Mir. Warde carries his years well. Age has not begun to tell on him. He is the same virile man and the same genial gentleman that he was twenty years ago.
 On this social visit Birmingham greets you, MT. Warde. * # # t~l.k Hohenzollerns A Berlin dispatch states that imperial revenues have been paid to all former royal personages entitled to them remaining in Germany. Eitel Frederick is looking after the former Kaser's interests.
