"BIRD OF PARADISE, l" WITH SPLENDID CAST
 AT THE JEFFERSON

Richard Walton Tullys "The Bird of Paradise" is one of the most success- ful plays based on Hawaiian life. Al though it has been before the public Tor some years, it nas not lost it's drawing power. and at the Jefferson last night was greeted by a full house Tn spite of indictment weather, which made attendance al the theatre some what Of 6 hardship, at least, for pe- destralns and trolley patrons.
 - The story concerns the love affair of an Hawaiian princess with an Amer lcan It reveals the passion and super stltion. as well as the kindly traits of people who were true children of nature untll contaminated by the white. man. The romance of Luana with pr. llson, who falls under the spell of the islands and the witchery of the girl who loves him, brings out the age-old conflict between Anglo-Saxon blood and mat or an inferior race. The theme is given a sympathetic and graphic treat ment in this play, blending pIaintiye Hawaiian airs, with the scenery of tropic skies and savage rites, which contrast vividly with the civiliza ton or the white invaders. It is a frankly meiodramatic play; yet the melodrama mas the note of sincerity. and there is consistent and impressive.
 A large company and admirable staging make the performance realistic. The volcano scene in the last act is an unusual piece of Stage craft.
 The principals are competent and well cast in their respective parts. Ann Reader shows marked ability in the emotional character of Luana. William Macauley impersonated the doctor who Is seduced by the charms of Luana and Hawaii. Mir. Macauley acquitted him seif With credit in this role. and Fred erick Forester gave fine perform ahce as Ten Thousand Dollar" Dean. a beach -comber who regains his manhood for the sake of the girl, who finds him Tn degradation and points the way to better things. MT. Forester was par tlcularly good in the first part of the play where the outcast comments with sardonic humor on life in general and the ways of Hawaiians in particular. re- talning, in spite of his filth and rags. some of the fine airs of a gentleman.
 John Milton gave a vigorous imper- sonation of Captain Hatch, a planter wHh choleric disposition. John J. fowers was a typical island mission ary, a man of the best intentions whose services to n benighted race are al least of doubtful value. Ellen Mahar played Diana Larned whose ioNe reSenerates Dean with a quiet sincerity that carried conviction. Frank SiartinS was as good as Hoheno. The other members of the company were equal to the parts assigned to them. ana there were some real Hawaiians whose songs and music added no little 10 the exotic atmosphere of the play.

Or the contrary, both are ready for any and all kind of freight from the lightest and most fragile to the heaviest and most durable.
 We are particularly delighted over authority given us to equip for 2f-hour continuous operation at Port of Birming- ham. Heretofore we have been unload- ing and moving 300 tons of Brazilian ore for Fairfield and Ensley mills per dien Hereafter we will unload and move s09 tons per day.
