MANY AUTHORS
 FOR THE LYCEUM
: Association Announces List for This Fall Naming
 Many Notables

The executive board and various charmen of the Birmingham Lyceum association are at work arranging an attractive programme for the win ter.
 Six hundred tickets have been dls- trlbuted among the l3 organizations which are interested in this cultural movement. The venture proved sue cessful last year to the extent that s. verdi hundred dollars remained in the treasury to begin with this sea son. Lecturers are high priced and the board expects a generous interest in getting the best for the lyceum course.
 Several new names appear on the programme for this winter, men and women whose trend of thought Is of depth and variety.
 John Cowper Powys, who easily captIvated his audience last winter, will open the season again this year. Raumgardt, who will come in Janu- ary, is now to Birmingham, but is en- gagged and re- engaged by societies and league which have heard him. Nor man Angel, who is compared with Hamilton as being the deepest pup licist since early times: Padrine Colum, Irish poet and author; W. L. George. novelist and psychologist; Amy Lowell, poetess and well known writer anA traveller, are platform sneakers and lecturers who are booked for the Birmingham Lyceum association.

of a second district office had become necessary.
 Twenty years ago next month Mir Stewart was sent to Birmingham by his company to take charge of It's business, at that time in it's infancy in this district and state. He re- mained here as the company's man. ager until 1907, being succeeded by Albert c, Chesney, who, because of his splendid accomplishments, was, m 1916, transferred to Wilmington, Del. Mir. Chesney was succeeded by the Metropolitan's present manager, Wade H. Nichols, under whose capa- ble management the business of the Metropolitan has more than doubled in the past five years.
 During the 20 years since 1901 the business of the Metropolitan Life has grown from practically nothing in the Birmingham district to over $11 100000 of ordinary business in force. It has over 75,O0 policies of all descriptions in force on the lives of the citizens of Birmingham and vicinity. It will be seen, therefore, that the business of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company has kept pace with the splendid growth of Birmingham, and the establishment
  Is in keeping with the semi -centen- nial celebration at Birmingham.
 The Metropolitan Life is firm be- fever in the solidity and future of this city as is indicated by the fact that it has invested approximately s3 GOO 900 here. Some of the largest buildings have been financed through this company. and it Is at this time making liberal loans for the com struction of homes in Birmingham, and is making great many farm mortgage loans all over the state through Jemison & Co.
 Mir Stewart announces the return to Birmingham as manager of the new district office, of Albert (. Chesney, who achieved such notable success when here before. and whose will, no doubt, be welcomed by his host of friends in this city. Mir. Chesney. while having been emi- nently successful for his company in Wilmington, Del, has never been weaned away from Birmingham, and

FRITZ LEIBER AT HIS
 BEST AS MACBETH;
 MADE SUCCESS HERE

Frltz Leiber ended a very success ful engagement at the Jefferson thea ire last night with a performance of Macbeth" in which he revealed new capabilities as Shakespearean actor.
 MT. Leiber's Macbeth is a powerful and graphic presentation of an am bilious man who conspires for his own advancement. yet swayed by superstition. doubt, fear and remorse, lacks the decision of character to carry out his schemes without the support of the more resolute and less scrupulous Lady Macbeth, by whose aid and counsel he embarks upon a murderous career. MT. Leiber was at his best in this play. His portrayal of Macbeth was an impressive piece ot tragic acting.
 Miss Oliver as Lady Macbeth was fully equal to the requirements of that eXacting role. Her stimulation of tigerish fury, reckless disregard of consequences and vaulting ambition for her lord. which would stop at nothing to gain it's ends, was forceful and realistic. It is not easy to do emotional acting, but Miss Oliver Is competent artist.
 Thomas ponnelly as Duncan, John Burke as Banquo and Louis Leon Hall as MacDuff played these parts well.
 Mir. Leiber made a most favorable impression in Birmingham on his first appearance here as star. He pre- scented Hamlet" Merchant of Venice" Romeo and Juliet" and Macbeth" It is also gratifying to note that he was greeted by large audiences at each performance, eX- cept last night which is a poor thea tre night in Birmingham.
