THEATRES

Joe Hurtig's all new big Wonder
Show will be the attraction at the
Majestic theatre next Monday. The
book is entirely new and furnishes
many opportunities for rare comedy
and funny situations by that well
known comedian, Geo. p. Murphy,
who heads the cast, and is assisted
by Mile. Babette, Bertha Stoller,
Perry Sisters, Morok Sisters, Clare
Evans, Frank Bud" Williamson,
Frank Martin, Chick and Burt Hun
ter and several others equally as
popular. The piece is different than
most of the burlesque shows of to-
day in hat 1t has a plot which is
carried through from beginning to
end. There is a chorus OF twenty
young ladies who are beautifully
costumed. who sing and dance their
way into the hearts of the audience.
The production is under the personal
direction of Joe Hurtig, and it goes
without saying that the Big Won
der Show" is without a peer In the
burles1ue field. A novel and strik-
ing feature of the production will
be a ~travesty on David Belasco's
Brilliant production THE Gold Dig
gers which has been one of the
biggest comedy @ of the past
season. The travesty is entitled
THE Dough Diggers" and was es-
pecially and staged by Frank Du-
pree.

At The Strand.

George M. Conan has in rehearsal
q new musical show with the homely
| title of MARY" To those unfamil-
lar with the inside story of Mr.. Co.
Shan's this news item does not seem
zof great Importance. But there is a
F1history to this good old Christian
name.
Years ago under great stress, Mr..
cohan wrote a musical play, called
"Forty-Five Minutes From Broad
way" Everybody knows this good
old show as it was n of the biggest
successes George ever gave to the
public. 1t was produced first with
Victor Moore and Fay Templeton in
the principal roles-in 1904. Eight
years later it was revived with equal
success with Mr.. Conan himself
playing the principal part. And now
( 1t has been made into a screen ver-
sion with no less a picture star thar
Charles Ray and offered as a First
National attraction it has proven the
bughest success of Mr.. Rays career.
So much for "Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway"-and now for
Mary.
Mary was and is the principal
feminine role in 'Forty-Five Minutes
From Broadway" and in her, Mr..
Cohan las created one of the dearest
and sweetest stage Characterization
of his career. So much so, that after
the tremendous success registered
by the piece, he has never rested
content until he used the good old
!. name rs the title of a play. And
hcw Mary has been given to the
public in a motion picture offering.
1t will be seen at the Strand to-day
with Charles Ray in the old Cohan
part.

seThe TOy Girl"

The premiere of a Eugene Walter

and best play. at the Majestic thea

At The DifmaS

up In Mary's Attic" the six-reel
super-comedy attraction coming 10
the Ditmas theatre today is just the
sort of comedy hat motion picture
fans are always seeking, but seldom
find. There is not a laugh in it de-
pendent upon the grotesqueness of
any character. All the humor and
comedy with which the picture
abounds come from situations In
which everyday people find them
selves through a combination of hn-
morous or thrilling circumstances.
The author of this story has struck
upon a theme which is genuine to
the core. 1t presents the problem of
u pretty undergraduate who is mar
lied to the athletic instructor of the
seminary, and must keep her mar
rage a secret. Her efforts to keep the
baby from being discovered provide
moments of heartfelt drama and hu-
:norous satire. The picture abounds
in human touches and is in
terpreted by players of recognized
ability. No better selections could
have been made than by giving Miss
Eva Novak and Mr.. Harry Gribbon
the opportunity to enact the young
married couple.

Coonev & Co.'S Letter

New orleans. June IA turn for the better in weather conditions in the cotton region over the weekend nIluehceo values to a lower level this morning.
 The cessation of the rains affected sentiment, but will not do the crop much good unless the weathey remains dry' and warm for an indefinite period in order to permit farmers to clean their fields of grass and weeds and to cui- tivate the plant.
 Crop accounts remain generally very unfayorable, and it is doubtful if the crop has recovered much from the reported recent lowest condition of record, as cI- matic conditions the past week were any thing but favorable except In Nortu Carolina. where beneficial rains occurreu' as it was too wet and cool.
 Cotton goods are ruling steadler, haro- ening for some description, and the un- favorable crop outlook will probably he reflected in more buying, as merchants are likely to fear higher prices eVeh- tually.
 revival in the inquiry for spots IS also nrobable since spinners cannot feel com fortable with new crops prospects so unfayorable, which feature has ten dencv to make holders of spots more ln- dependent. .ou
 If the weather remains favorable TOT awhile longer, market may seek lower level temporarily which would afford a favorable opportunity to buy-H- x b. Beer

New Orleans, June 7.-The tendency was downward in cotton today as the result of greatly improved weather condi- tions over the belt, although there was still room for more improvement, espe- cially on the score of temperatures which remain below normal over the greater part of the belt. The opening was lower except on July, and the decline continued, with recoveries now and then, until late in the session, when the market was 70
 to 57 points under the last quotations
 of last week, July standing at SS.4Oc and
 October at 40c. The close showed net
 losses for the day of to 49 points, July
 being the strongest month; July was the only month to show net advances. It was up 10 points on the opening, while other months were down. During a good part of the day, it received support from straddlers who bought it against sales of October.
 The weather map was clear and dry and it was the main cause of the early sell ing The selling later in the day was due to the belief that the weather map
 tomorrow would be equally favorable. Increased offerings may be expected if no rain falls over night, especially II It warns up.-Shepard & Gluck.

c P Stewart & Cn.

New Orleans, June 7.-Liverpool pro- yided a surprise by coming as much as 30 points higher than due on futures and showing spots 6 up. Sales were 4,Voo bales. This action was interpreted on the possibility of a disturbance to lm- ports owing to war and labor situation, straddle operations with our market, ad- ditional effect of the bullish bureau con- dition and fear of lateness of crop. First trades were at an advance Of lo points on July but as much as 40 down on new crops despite the strong Liver pool. Spot houses were sellers of Octo- Der at the opening and the south were sellers during the last hour. The buy ing was scattered.
 Some of the large spot people are very bearish for the time being because of no demand for cotton either here or abroad. They argue the demand will have more to do with making the price for while than the prospective small yield from this crop. Anyway, the public contin-
 ues to fight shy of cotton and tenn porarily lower market is possible.-S R. Stewart & Co.

Nv LANES l. MONTAGUE

Chicago, June 7-(Special )-Although tho national republican convention con- venes tomorrow the starting will not be started till the stopping is stopped The convention is still at the stopping stage. The Wood and Johnson people are try ing to stop the Lowden boom. The Low den people are trying to stop the Wood and Johnson booms. Wood, Lowden ard Johnson people are trying to stop the Sproul boom, plans for which were spilled prematurely today.
 Every delegate who isn't waving a red flag Gin a railroad, not bolshevik derailing switch.
 No matter how much momentum the big booms have gathered, the one that gets by all this retarding apparatus will have to do considerable travelling.
 Tomorrow's programme will consist onstensibly of effecting permanent or ganization and of listening to a 5000 word speech by Henry Cabot Lodge The real programme will be the com pleiton, if possible. of the stopping of the various formidable booms and the starting of a new one which can go over.
 This, of course, is large order Whether it can be done or not is a thing upon which one cannot safely risk any money but the tactics will be all stopping tactics, in any event. And il any bunch of delegates can stop the other bunch without stopping them- selves in the process. that bunch oi delegates can name their man as the standard bearer of the Grand Old Party for the ensuing campaign.
 Don't think because you read in the papers that the candidates appear tc he listless: that they are not reacy tu fight on Linden when the sun was low. As you may remember, there was a leavv fog of lstnessness hanging over the scene, but that didn't prevent a lot of trouble when the sun rose the next morning.
 Wrong or right, every delegate here believes that the man who is nominated in Chicago this week will be elected President of the United States in the autumn of this year, and every group, to borrow word from distinguished authority, wants it's particular favorite to be that man.
 When victory is in the air, you can always be sure that there will be a battle to pick out the victor.
 Because of the high cost of hotel bills and railroad tickets. vox populi IS not sc plentiful in Chicago as formerly. But all the accredited delegates are on the siob and all were out ndustriously stop ping alien booms at the time of sending this dispatch.
 They will be at it all day tomorrow and Wednesday. Then they will start starting, and if you could be here in a i ringside seat you would have something to tell the wife and children about when you got back home.

Huhbard Bros. & Co.

New York June 7.-Cables this morn- ing were better than due, but our mar
 ket was rather easy owing to poor bank statement and very good weather over Sunday. There was also a decline of 2Ad in the price of silver in London,
 which had more or less depressing eff feet upon a narrow market, because it
 is feared this will lead to more eastern
 cancellations in Manchester After the opening decline the market was not &C., tive and very little fresh selling ap- peared. Liverpool was a moderate buyer and there was some short covering by those who sold on the advance last week. The local feeling is quite bearish on the ground that better weather will cause more attention to be paid to outside con- ditions. A further decline in the price of silk and wool rather increased this feeling. It must not be forgotten. how ever, that the cotton crop outlook is not changed by two or three days of good weather and that it is such as to put cotton in rather different position than the other raw textile materials. Until we have had enough good weather. so that 1t is possible to believe in a marked improvement in crop conditions, we do not care to sell on declines.-Hubbard Brothers x Co.

LOCAL MARKETS

With two days of sunshine, local truckmen and home gardeners were busy yesterday hoeing and blowing out their crops.
 Truckmen claim the grass and weeds are outgrowing some of their green stuff, but with a few days of good weather they will be in fighting shape.
 It will take homegrown stuff to cut prices much, as all imported produce holds stiff.
 Quotations in produce and poultry remain the same as Saturday. Im- ported lemons are quoted at S5 the box this morning, and cantaloupes at $5 per crate.
 Bell Rogers announced yesterday that they expected their first car of watermelons about Thursday, the shipment coming from Lakeland, Fla.
 Among the fish dealers prices remain unchanged. A few nice shipments of both soft and hardshell crabs reach Birmingham each week, but as about half the number on arrival are dead, it runs the price on the balance rather high-$1 per dozen retail. Crabs are not handled wholesale, but are shipped direct to few retailers.
 Spot cotton holds at 40c for good middling, with other grades in pro portion.
 The W. M. Crosby Flour and Grain Company report shipments of all flour and feedstuff very slow. Local de- mand and supply are well balanced in this line, with no changes over Sun day.

 Otis w. Leader trained with the famous Blue Devils when he first went to France, and was almost continuously under fire while he serv- ed overseas.
