ADJUSTMENTS
"Pom-Pom''

It was not hard to have visions of Mitzi in Pom Pom at the Jefferson last night for Miss Dorothy Webb is an able successor to the Hungarian prima donna in this most delightful comic opera. Miss Webb is a winsome and petite little body with the most engaging airs and superior arts as a comedienne. It was too bad that she had such a cold she was hardly able to speak her lines, much less sing. How ever, she gave a sprightly performance which left nothing to be desired on the score of acting, as Paulette, who was billed to appear at Paris thea tre in the role of Pom-Pom, pick pocket, but in the attempt of thieves to rob her dressing room was mistaken by blundering gendarmes for thief and carried off to prison.
 In the underworld of Paris, at the Black Elephant cafe, to be exact, Pom . Pom leads an adventurous life in boy clothes. with those dreadful Apaches and has variety of experiences be- fore she is found by her manager and her identity revealed. Incidentally, she discovers that one of the supposed Apaches is Bertrand, chief of municipal police, the man who had prevented her from committing suicide when she was d poor waif and ready to jump into the Seine. Pom-Pom and Betrand re- rev their love affair, which had such an inauspicious beginning. The opera is one of the most charm ing presented on the stage in recent years. It has a novel atmosphere, lilt- ing music and bright lines. Henry w. Savage is to be commended for not permitting the scenery and other ap- pcintments to have the soiled and be- draggled appearance that ci.aracterizes so many road shows, particularly when
 {. ey are on tour for the second or tnIrd season.
 w J. Mccarthy as Policeman No. Is gave an amusing impersonation of a comic opera gendarme. Thomas Walsh is again seen as Grolmus, an unctu- ous crook. which he played well in tEe or iginal company. Fred F. Squire js d trfle stiff in the role of Fer tfand and could show a little more spirit without detracting from the merit of his performance. James $. Ryan as actor Larry Lawrence is excellent as Q droll stage carpenter, Betty Webber is rivacious and clever as Evelyn, Pauiettes maid, and Jane Carrol is we'll cast as a thieves accomplice. 1 Beatrice Cliff deservedly scored as a i dummy and such underworld characters as Big Niassou, "Colossus of Thieves, ! Bidage and Macacha, were impersonat- ! ed in a realistic manner by Charles i Prince, Fred Bond and Edward M a. | vor The other principals, with one 1 or two exceptions, were adequate to the | parts assigned them. Vocally, the com- pany is not strong.

Increased Fee Bill
 Signed by Governor

Montgomery, January 2S-(Special.)
 Senate bill No f. introduced and spon-
 sored by Senator Carmichael of Colbert
 country, was signed by Governor Kilby Tuesday. The bill has been ready for
 the governors signature since January
 23, when it had it's last round in the house and senate.
 This bill, one of the most important yet carried through the legislative chan nels, will give increased fees to sher ifs in the state who serve what is known as ''civil paper The bill is
 known as the sheriff's civil fee bill, but because it was not signed by Governor Henderson before he went out of office on the 20th present officers will not benefit from it.
 Sheriffs elected four years from now will get a considerable increase in fees for the serving of papers in civil cases. A companion bill, introduced at the be- ginning of the legislative session. died in the house. The latter bill would have increased fees for the serving of crimi- nal papers.
