ROBIN HOOD DELIGHTS
 LARGE AUDIENCE

Reginald de Koven's comic ope "a,
 hooln Hood" seems destined to live forever It loses none of it's charm by such a presentation as was given at the Jefferson theatre last night bv Ralph Dunbar's company.
 when one recalls how many stars have sung and frolicked through .Rob. In Hood," and in particular the fa- nous "Bostonians," whose memory oil, ever be cherished by the patrons of the theatre, it is not easy to give 4 ner. formance of this opera that does -ot call for unfavorable comparisons,
 The company last night admirably met the requirements of Robin Hood ,
 The principals and the chorus gave performance that was most creditable ana pleasing. The adventures of Robin and his band, and his pretty romance with Maid Marian were portrayed with spirit and dash that left nothine to be desired.
 In vocal ability, tho company is es- pecially strong. Clara Campbell is a
 W @Ae@A A"A- sHS sang anu acted in brilliant style. She is well fitted for role which some of the most ia nous prima donnas of the past have essayed. Estelle DeShon was a fine Alan-a-Dale. She shared honors with Miss Campbell. Both have exceptio nal voices and are gifted artists. Arthur sherman was Robert Hood, the Ear of Huntington. He sang we'll in this romantic character. Edward Beck had the part of the Sheriff of Nottingham in which he acquitted himself creii.a- ply. John MacSwiney was as plump and merry a Friar Tuck as anyone would care to see. Guy Solomon played Sir Guy of Osborne with the proper appreciation of its comic possibilities Harold Geis and George Shields, both of whom have good voices, were Little John and Will Scarlett, respectively Silence Tower was Dame Burden, and Anna Jenkins was Annabel, her daugn- ter. woed by Alan-a-Dale.
 The company proved to be an agree- able surprise. It did ample justice to an opera which demands high deg zee of skill, both in singing and acting The performance last night was evi- dently enjoyed, for most of the famous numbers were generously applauded Miss Campbell, Miss DeShon, MT. Sher- man and George Shields deserve spe- cial commendation.
 The engagement will end Saturday night There will be a matinee Satur- day afternoon.

MANY RESPOND ID
 RED CROSS APPEAL
Fourth Annual Red Cross Roll Call Makes a Good
 Start

Notwithstanding the fact that tho Armistice Day parade had the general attention of the public, the fourth an yesterday. made an suspicious start and many names were inscribed on the roll.
 The Red Cross section of the parade yesterday attracted much attention and included many of the leading workers overseas and at home which brought at tention to the campaign. Immediately following the parade a number of speak CTS addressed the large crowds from trucks at the several downtown street corners in the interest of the roll call and there were many responses to the appeal for "The Greatest Mother in the World" at the conclusion of the talks.
 The booths that have been placed in the Hobbies of hotels and office buildings and other public places were fairly well patronized yesterday and the women and girls in charge will be on hand each day early and late until the end of the drive in order to raise Birmingham . quota of 5000 members.
 Many of the downstown stores have given much space in the show windows for advertising the roll call and in many instances the designs are strikingly ap- propriate. Many other means of adver- Using the drive have been made by the publicity committee bringing it to tha close attention of every man. woman and child in the city.
 While the popular membership of $l will be emphasized in this enrolment, it is stated at headquarters that there are four other types of membership, namely, contributing, $; sustaining. $io' lite, $50; patron, 500. so person desir- ing to join on basis of other than the s1 membership will have ample oppo-tu- nity to do so- It was also stated that memberships can be sent in by mail to the office on the mezzanine floor of the Jefferson County Bank building, and membership buttons, together with an official receipt, will be mailed out promptly, checks being made payable to W. H. Manly. treasurer.

GOVERNOR COX HERE

 to Montgomery

Gov James M. Cox of Ohio spent a few minutes in Birmingham yester- day morning.
 His train arrived at the Louisville and Nashville depot at $40 o'clock and few personal friends of the governor managed to get a glimpse of him.
 A few managed to talk a few min utes with him and he expressed him self with being highly pleased with the prospect of some good hunting which had been promised him in Macon county, as well as in Mississippi.
 It was also noted that his voice was somewhat husky as the result of the great strain he had been under during the campaign and that he looked rather tired. His cheerfulness delighted those present. His train left for Montgom- cry. where he starts on his hunting trip this morning.
