 The play is from the pens Of Willard Mack and MT. Tellegen, and was one ot the pronounced hits several years ago, receiving the encomums of the entire press Of the large cities, the star creat-
 ing many new admirers for his remark able portrayal of the central character
 m which his success was even greater than that of his first appearance in this country which was as leading man wltA Mme Sarah Bernhardt, who brought him over here.
 It deals with an incident that happened to a fellow artist of MT.

Where Empty Houses Are

The housing question is scarcely, II any, less important than 1t was; per- haps we only hear less of 1t. In motor ing through New England and the cen- tral west, one cannot fail to be inn pressed with the large number4of very comfortable vacant houses, most of them of fair size and apparently not badly out of repair, which are found along the country highways in every state, says H. H. Windsor in one of his editorials appearing in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. It would seem there must be thousands of these houses. Michigan alone reports 1S,000 abandoned farms. Their dusty win dows and grass grown steps tell the simple but mournful story of neglect. All around are productive fields. often orchards, willing to yield abundance, Eff only given a little help.

MOTHER HEART 0F
 SCHUMANN-HE|NK
Great Singers Most Success fuI Concert Sang to Audi
 ence of One

The coming to Birmingham of Madame
 Schumann-Heink on January S1 reminds
 one of true story of the great singer
 and her even greater mother heart. Out
 west several years ago a young girl
 passionately fond of music lay stricken
 with tuberculosis and waiting for the
 final day when all the suffering would end.
 She remarked to group of her friends
 that she did so wish that she could get strong enough to hear once more the glorious voice and very human appeal of Schumann-Heink, who was scheduled for concert in Seattle in the next few l, days. Warming to her subject. the sick girl said she wanted to hear certain Ia vorites of hers among the classics. Anc then her fever-brightened eyes grew more bright as she smilingly said: "id really love to hear her sing Good Night Dear; Sleep Tight, Dear.'-
 In the next few days, after a confer ence with the parents of the girl, there came a knock upon the door of the solarium where the couch was daily placed and the great Schumann-Heink serself came in-bringing a huge bunch ! of American Beauty roses and asked per mission to sing.
 1 I wonder if the hackneyed and lovely I"My Rosary was ever before or since 1 so wonderfully sung? How willingly would anyone 'lxiss the cross'' aftc, hearing her great organlike voice chant over their stricken bodies. ''But the Loro Is Mindful of His Own!' And, Oh there were many many others. And finally the great contralto said there was a little popular sing which she had always loved, and would the little girl mind II she sang anything so very light? ot course it was Good Night, Dear Sleep Tight. Dear;;'' and the great Schumann- Heink went away from the most sue cessful concert of her life sung to an l audience of one.

William Archer. the well-known Lon don dramatic critic and playwright, who is in America overlooking the produc- tion of his play, The Green Goddess,
 is writing some very interesting magazine articles, and is also appearing on the lec- ture platform while here. MT.

 WORLDS RECORD
Famous American Comedy Coming to the Jefferson.
 Three Years Run

"Lightnin,'' holder of the worlds rec ord for length of run on Broadway, will begin a 3-days engagement at the
 Jefferson beginning Thursday, February g. night With matinee Saturday. The
 cast is described as a special one, or
 ganized by Producer John Golden to play
 Chicago and booked in a limited number
 of southern cities en route to the western
 metropolis Seats are now on sale.
 The fact that 'Lightnin' , has regis-
 tered upwards of 1000 performances at
 the Gaiety theatre. New York, during it's
 run of nearly three years, has given t
 a commanding position in stage history.
 The previous record held for many years
 by "A Trip to Chinatown" was 657 per
 formances. Visitors from all parts of the country have witnessed it and no play
 ever left Broadway with more enthus- iastic boosters in the outlying cities Winchell Smith, the master playwright who mixed the laughs and heart throbs
 of Turn to The Right" '"The Boom erang," "The Fortune Hunter" and 'sBrewster's Millions," is co-author oi sLightnin' and it Is by long odds the best example of his genius.
 Like MT. Smiths earlier masterpieces "Lightnin' is a bright, wholesome American comedy, compounded of some sense and a lot of heart. The character who gives the play it's title. Lightnin Bill Jones' is one of the quaintest, mosi lovable and most genuinely humorous characters that this generation has seen upon the stage. Tippler. champion liai of the county, and shiftless ne'er dc well, he is withal philosopher and true friend The famous courtroom scene de- picting a divorce suit in Reno, provides I.the play with its biggest thrills and its |'b best laughs.

MANY MAIL BOXES
ORDERED REPAIRED

Il
The Postofice department recently
ordered an inspection of all mail
1routes from the Medina office. The
kresult was that some of the boxes
showed very much neglect. Notice
has been sent to each patron at
fault, with the request that the box
be given prompt attention within, ten
days, at the end of which time if the
request has not been complied with
the postoffice Department will be no
titled to discontinue mail service to
these boxes. After this action is
taken, even if the boxes are fixed it
will take two or three weeks for the
mail service to be resumed therein.
Another abomination to the mail
carriers is the custom of some pat
rons to leave pennies and other small
change in the mail boxes. The car
riers do not object to this when it
5ccurs occasionally, but the practice
has become so persistent as to be a
nuisance, the carrier frequently drop
ping the money in taking it from the
boxes, thus necessitating their getting
out to pick it up and delaying their
trips.
Stamped envelopes, postage stamps
and stamp books can be purchased Of
the carriers ard there is no reason
why patrons should not keep a small
supply On hand.
