Richard E HolE, provisional officer of the Atlantic coast province, Former Gov. Earl Brewer Of Mississippi, gulf division chairman, and a number of other leaders in the move- ment will be present.
 MONEY EXPENDED HERE
 One feature of the campaign to which Staff Captain Main called attention be- fore his departure for Pensacola Sat urdsy, was the fact that nearly all of the money to be raised in Birmingham, Bessemer and other cities of this section, is to be expended here for the improve ment of facilities of these places for the aid of mankind. The budget of the Sal vation Army corps will make total estimated at $1O,0o0,000 for the entire eoupr try and this will be sum sifficient 10 revolutionize the financial system of the Salvation Army. Captain Main states that one of the greatest economies to De effected is in saving the waste of tiHe' energy and effort of those who now must go. about raising funds in small way by begging and collecting aims.

AT THE
THEAT Frs

CELDOM is character trans
~ ferred from story to play to
~ the entire satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. Readers imagine favorite
hero or heroine in a vague and hazy
sort OF way, and generally miss
something when this nebulous crea-
ton OF their own minds takes on
solid flesh and blood and walks
across the scene before them, talk
ing, laughing and doing the things
they found so diverting when read
ing about them. So May Robson
finds herself confronted with the
necessity of combating a host of
preconceived notions of Miss Letitia
Carbery and, although she van
pushes these for the most part, it
is only after the expenditure of con-
siderable effort that she identifies
herself with the popular "Tish. :"
When she has brought this about
the play that has been made from
one OF Mrs. Rinehart's entertaining
stories loses much of its farcical ele-
ment and becomes a really enjoy
able comedy.
Miss Robson is strenuously ener-
getic in the opening, her entrance
being accelerated by the explosion
of high speed motor boat that pre-
cipitates her through a boathouse
door onto a lakeside lawn. After
this vigorous beginning, she pro-
ceeds by stages to the more quiet
methods, of which she is complete
mistress, and in the second. third
and fourth acts gives us a far more
convincing portrait OF the woman
who is so lovable because she is so
human. She has tenderness, too,
and without being mawkish touches
on sentiments that lie below the sur
face, turning gently away as the ap-
proach comes too nigh to tears.
Finally, we realize that she is
fish," the real woman of whom we
had brought to the theater so indef-
mite an idea, and we let her DOM
mate us just as she did Lizzie and
Aggie.
Miss Robson has the assistance of
competent actors, whose united eff
forts make the evening one of un-
alloyed joy. The play and company
were welcomed at the Brandeis last
night by a large assemblage of
Omaha folks, who have come to
look for something good whenever
May Robson is, announced. and
whose faith not misplaced in this
particular instance.

Poisonous matter clogged in the

reaches the delicate brain tissue it
causes congestion and that dull,
