POLLY AND H. APLAY WITH HEART APPEAL AT NE W MAJESTIC
Mae Park Has Another De- lightful Role in New Com edy Drama - Strong
 Cast Selected

l Something new and something differ
 ent each week is the policy of the Ma jestic theatre, and up to the present time
 each bill seems to please better than the
 one previous, which causes the enthus- iasm to hold up in this clever stock com pany, headed by little Mae Park. | For the past week standing room was l in evidence at each performance, and all l previous records were broken for a 1 weeks attendance, which proves that
 when Manager Maddocks tells the pa irons they will have something extra he speaks truly.
 For the coming week bill has been selected that is sure to pleace every one, as it is made up of some of the best lines and situations that are possible to be put into a play, and as this com pany has tried out this one in other cities and found it to be an extra good attrac- ton, the management feels safe in say ing that this will be one of the best of ferings to date. al
 'sPolly and r is the title of this play for next week, and with little Mae as Polly, and Sam as T." with the bal ance of the company cast in their respec- tive lines there is little doubt that some thing good is in store for those who visit this family playhouse.
  girlish characters, who is in the first act a maid of all work in the house of very rich family, but not satisfied with her lot, strikes out for something better and
 eventually lands an engagement with an opera company, afterwards becoming a | female detective, which brings her in con-
 tact with very funny but clever lawyer. Said lawyer has left his partner who is quite a crook at this profession, and
 takes to the straight and narrow path for i himself. With ups and downs to battle
 until finally with the aid of Polly, the
 maid mystery is unraveled, which for years has separated a loving couple, as we'll as restrained mother and son, and happiness again reigns with every one
 connected as we'll as Folly and l."
 There is very good heart story in this play and plenty of sensation well as a million laughs and is considered by all
 stock companies as one of the most pleasing plays ever written.
 Sam will have some regular scenic eff
 fleets, and expects to offer another of
 those plays which will live in the mem
 ory of the public of Birmingham for sev- eral months to come.
 The weeks are drawing fast to close when this company win take a much de-

Sunshine is a good title to a play with Richard Carle in the fun making role, because long. lanky Dick Carle, with his slow and easy going voice, his dry humor, and talent for getting laugh out of an undertaken, would make sunshine bloom beneath any body's upper vest pocket. As life insurance agent located in Spain, Rich ard Carle has the best comedy of his career. He brings with him, to the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night through Wednesday, with a Wednesday matinee, the same original company with which he opened in New York.

Business High Decides
Against ''Midget" "Eleuen

Business High School has posi-
lively decided to not participate in
the l35-pound league of football, so
all the attention of those training
the squad will be towards develop
ing a capable unlimited weight
eleven to compete with the other
big teams of the public high schools.
Four expert men are candidates for
the open position of coach at the
Ninth street school. Some of them
have already visited the squad at
it's field in Potomac Park. The big
men. Monroe and Wolf, have re-
ported for practice and should make
strong players.
The game which was to have
been played between Tech and Boil
ling Field yesterday on Techs grid
iron was cancelled on account of
sickness of valuable men on the
latter eleven. The contest will be
played on the same field Friday
afternoon at o'clock. Coach Apple
has his charges well advanced in
training. He certainly drills the
men in rigid style. No man shirks
duty down on the Maroon and
Gray field.
Two promising candidates for the
13S-pound team which will carry
Tech cOlors this season are Half
backs Hawley and Quesada. Both
of these youngsters are fast and
tough as nails. The schedule for
the lighter combination consists of
seven games. The first encounter
comes on October 8, when they meet
st. Adams. The 18th is open on
account of Business withdrawal
from the 135-pound series. Rock

they revenged themselves against

of the first team men resulted with

made by the heavy forwards. Indi-
cations point to another steam
roller" line like the one which
worked havoc with the opponents
last year. Lamberton, the halfback,
is out with a wrenched knee. This
resulted in several other men get
ting trials in the backfield. Frank
Surface looked fast enough to fit in
there. as did Rauber.
Coach Wahoo will see what his
men are made of when they meet
the Marine Preps Friday at Rose
dale. The Light Blue and White
varsity has made big gains in its
training. Several players on the
varsity are expected to play on the
1876 pound eleven when that team is
ready for competition in the com
ing series. The backfeld is excep-
tionally fast, although not heavy.
Western High may or may not
play the scheduled game with Mary
land University Freshmen on Satur-
day. The Red and white has not
had the necessary training at this
date to participate in a scrimma ge,
none having been ordered by Coach
Green as yet. Most of the practiC-
ing of late has been confined to pre-
