"7he Figurehead," With
 Eugene O'Brien, at Alcazar

Eugene O'Brien in "The Figurehead, and the latest Sunshine comedy, His Wife's Caller" will be the features at the Alcazar theatre beginning tomorrow, Labor Day.
 Eugene OBrien in his latest role, as Sherry Dows in The Figurehead," af- lords him the best opportunities he has yet had. Combining romance with the struggle between strong men for suprem- acy, picturing life in the political arena stripped of it's veneer of it's outer respec- tability "The Figurehead'' has all of the elements that make for a photo-drama of the first order.
 "The Figurehead' should prove to be OBriens most popular effort, for every thing that was possible has been done to make the picture success.
 The story, by John Lynch provides the star with a vigorous, Virile role, but at the same time gives excellent opportuni- cast, which includes Anna e. Nilsson, Ora Carew, Edwin Stevens. Joseph Gi- rard, Frances Parks ndsrotund and gen. ial Kate Price.
 In this play the star is seen as Sher- idan Dows. a young society man who, in a spirit of adventure, allows him. self to become a candidate for mayor in a graft-ridden city. In reality he is but a "fgurehead' for the political craft which some of the ''od guard are trying to wreck.
 Young Dow takes his nomination moro or less as a joke until he meets "the' girl This inspires him. and then when the political grafters see their plans

BRILLIANT GALAXY OF STARS COMING All-Star Concerts to Present Farrar, Gardner, KreisIer
 and Others

No more brilliant series of concerts has ever been presented in any city in Amer lea than which the "All-Star Con- certs" announces for the coming season.
 Varied and different every concert will be, and music lovers are enthusiastic over the programme, while the amateurs also will find the names of their favorite artists, thus everybody being pleased.
 The opening concert on Wednesday evening, October 2. at the Jefferson, will present for the first time in Birming- hams history the peerless queen of song Geraldine Farrar. Many have heard Miss Farrar in opera. but few have had the pleasure of hearing her i, in concert. and this splendid opportunity will be afforded Birmingham for the first time on this oc- casion.
 Miss Farrar has surrounded herself with a magnificent concert company Miss Ada Sassoli. the world renowned harpist who for several years with Melba in concert; MT, Edgar Schofield, baritone. and Mir. Otto Gotthelf at the piano will surround the lovely Geraldine on this oc- casion.
 The second concert will have Mary Garden, "Our Mary" as the star, and

those who have heard this marvellous art ist in Thais, Louise, "Pellas and Melissande, and other great triumphs will have the opportunity of hearing her render some of the big "arias' from these her favorite operas. Miss Garden will number in her concert company Guita Casini. the renowned Russian 'celist, who formerly concertized with Sembrich, and MT. Isaac Van Grove at\the piano.
 A deviation from singers will be made by the 'Al-Star Concerts in the third concert of the series, on Wednesday even ing, January 5, when the greatest living violinist, Fritz Kreisler, will appear al the Jefferson.
 The finale of the "All-Star Concerts season will take place on February Is, when the Minneapolis Orchestra with 100 pieces under the direction of the world famous conductor MT, Emil Ober- hoffer. will be heard in matinee and even ing performance.
 Truly Birmingham owes a debt of in- finite gratitude to the progressive and courageous management of the "All-Star Concerts" who in spite of the fact that there is no auditorium here, are present ing to the music loving public the great est artists and the most expensive art StS in the world today.

bined with the old pagan celebration is perhaps the underlying thought in our observance of holiday when work is stopped and peace is supposed to reign over all. Many interesting things happened on Christmas Day. In 1776 George Washington crossed the Delaware River. It was on Christ mas Day that the City of Nashville, Tennessee, was founded. Clara Bar ton, the founder of the Red Cross was born on Christmas Day.
 Perhaps the first people to celebrate Christmas in America were the Dutch who settled in New Amsterdam, and Santa Claus in America paid his first visit to little Hans and Gretel in the early Dutch Settlement. Though the Puritans were the earlier settlers they did not bring the Christmas idea with them into our country. They con- sidered Christmas a pagan festival and it was not until the early years of the nineteenth e]gntury that the last of this Puritan opposition to our beautiful celebration entirely disappeared.

"Tell mel" urged Dad, holding his ear down to Tim and so Tim had to tell him. Then Mummy put her ear down and heard about the curls, too. You ought to have heard her scream and seen her grab off the cap.
 "Oh, you poor child!" she cried. "Your beautiful curls!"
 Boys will be boys!" said Dad.
 "I was helping Santy," said Timmy and then he had to explain about the queen lady, and Mummy said: well, she never! And that she couldn't have all the curls.''
 Well, Christmas was very, very near at hand and one day the lady next door came home with her arms full of parcels. Monty and Tim were playing out front and they saw her.
 ''Now, give it to her." whispered Monty, so Timmy ran forward and put a funny parcel into her hand. | The lady went inside and put down her bundles, one of which was long and heavy and looked like tool chest. Then she made a little hole in the paper around the gift Tim had given her. What she saw made her undo | the string and look.

The queen lady choosed curls for her Christmas, didn't she?" replied Timmy. Let's make a parcel! Let's

 "All right. agreed Monty. "But Mummy will feel awful mad when she sees what you done, Tim"
 At that Timmy looked very sad and just then they heard their mother call ing them.
 Come down, dears; Uncle Joe and Aunt Ella are here!"
 Put on your cap and keep it on!' whispered Monty, pushing Tins cap on his cropped head. Don't you dast to take it off! They'll all jump on you if you do! You keep it on till your hair grows again.

 "Yes'm," said Monty, cause Mum my is busy taking care of the baby" "Oh, you have baby? Whats it's name?" asked the lady.

 "No'm," said Monty, Margaret Winston and Alice Winston. Our baby is twins
 The lady laughed at that and so did Timmy, so hard that his cap fell off. "Oh, my!" cried the lady. "If Santa Claus were to ask me what I wanted l for Christmas, I'd choose those darling curls."

 "Surely!" agreed the lady, taking the note.
 Timmy had asked for a bucket and spade and a sled and ever so many things that Monty couldn't spell, but Monty had asked for only one thing and that was a tool chest.
 will Santy Claus bring us those things wif-out any help?" asked Timmy anxiously as the two sat dowr to supper.
