FREDERICK WARDE
 AT COMMUNITY SING
Noted Actor Reads From Scripture and Shakespeare. Dave Williams Leads
 the Singing

The community sing at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon was largely attended. The audience was indeed the largest seen in many q day.
 Frederick Warde. the actor, was the feature par-excellence of an unusually interesting programme. He was intro duced by Mrs. w. J. Adams. chairman of the community sing committed, in a felicitous little speech which brought the audience to its feet. It was genuine ovation which the distinguished visitor received. MT. Warde's place on the bill followed close upon the singing of Christi mas carols by a double quartet and as was most fitting, he read about the com ing of John and the story of the nativ- ity of Jesus, as found in the Gospel of St. Euke. He was deeply impressive. MT. Warde concluded his Scripture reading with the Thirteenth chapter of St Paul's s first Epistle to the Corinthians Though l speak with the tongues of men and of angels" The transition from the Bible to Shakespeare was natural. The dramatiSt was an apostle of Christianity, the actor maintained, and he gave eloquent proof of this by declaiming many passages from the plays He gave first the speech of Cardinal Wolsey, Farewell to all my SItdlutSS. Ilt WStS III llitt IOiiiis boti III recital and in his own scholarly conn ments. As some one remarked. MT. Warde measured up in his note of sincerity and his dramatic power of expression to the best traditions of the pulpit combined with the finished art of the stage. The entire sing programme was as fol- lows:

 READY TO RETURN

Joe To Bue. well known member of Birminghams Italian colony and mem Der of Memoli's band. spent the past two days here, where he was called by the death of his sister. He Is in the head quarters band at Camp Pike, Ark, and will return to Little Rock today.
 Now that the war is over we are all eager to get away" he said, sbut now that I am in the headquarters band it will probably be sometime because they want to keep the bands intact until the boys come from France to be mustered out.
 T understand the Thirty-fifth and Eighty-seventh divisions will both be mustered out at Camp Pike and they want to keep the band on hand at least until that Is over.
 Camp Pike is a fine camp and there are plenty of Birmingham boys there. We have 43 pieces in our band. Some of the men are eager to remain but want to hurry and get back to my wife and children, who are left alone now that my sister is dead.

Enrollments Are Not Up to- Expectations and Unso- licited People Are Asked to Call at Bank or Store and Buy a Button

This is Jefferson county's last chance to make good in the Christmas Red Cross roll call The campaign for mem bership ends tonight and unless every patriotic citizen volunteers today, there is grave possibility that when the to- tals are finally announced, this com munity, which has always led in every war cause, will have to acknowledge failure in its effort.
 Its not that our people aren't willing to subscribe" said John Henley, public ity chairman last night, in commenting on the situations "but every body has un- dergone kind of relaxation since the war ended and neither workers or pros pects' have put forth the same effort in raising funds as they did when the big incentive was here to spur them on."
 Chairman J. D. Kirkpatrick urges all citizens who have not been solicited to call at some bank or store immediately and buy a button." Influenza has wrought havoc in our ranks said MT. Kirkpatrick, "and, with other obstacles. we have been unusually handicapped, but believe that we will have whirl- wind finish today and it will end all right"
