It is said that If the United States were

copper seems to be negligible in COM
parison with iron and steel. 1t is used
for such things as roofing, Hastings,
cornices, cutters, drain pipes, leaders
and ventilators. These are nearly all
copper in the large office buildings. In
the Woolworth building, in New York,
which is today the worlds tallest sky

Balloons were blown to capacity--and s1ore-- and were kept floating from guest to guest over the room.

FRITZ LEIBER GIVES .A4 FINE PRESERVATION
 OF JULIUS. CAESAR"

TritS Loiber and his company gave . performance of "Julius Caesar" at the Jefferson theatre-last night that did full Justice to one of Shake- speare's immortal dramas. Mir. Leiber appeared as Mary Antony and while the part is somewhat overshadowed by Brutus and Cassius. 1t gave the star an opportunity to again illus trate his versatility and demon- strate that he is finished Shake- spearsn actor. The principal speech of Antony the oration over the body of Caesar. was finely delivered. MT. Leiber makes any role in which he appears interesting and impress sive and thus far, during the present engagement, he has amply sustained his reputation as one of the foremost opponents of the classic drama. Bir- mingham playgoers, who have not seen Mir. Leiber in his repertoire, are missing some meritorious perform ances of plays with which the names of the greatest Shakespearan stars are associated.
 John Burke as Cassius and An thony Andre as Caesar and Louis Leon Hall as Brntus, admirably im- personated these roles. The quarrel scene between Brutus and Cassius was an excellent bit of acting and IS seldom done with better dramatic offect. Mir. Hall brought out all the nobility of Brutus' character and MT. Burke gave Cassius an unusually good interpretation. Miss Bronson as Calpurnia and Miss Oliver as Portia did we'll sin these roles and most of the lesser parts were ca pably acted.
