'Pinafore" Enjoyed
by Large Audience
at the Jefferson

Not in many years has "Pinafore"
been sung and acted on the local
stage so well as it was last night
by Dewolf Hopper and his company.
This splendid organization has given
the music lovers of Birmingham an
opportunity to hear the Gilbert and
Sullivan masterpieces in a style
worthy of these operas and those who
have thus far failed to take advan-
tage of it have denied themselves
genuine pleasure.
.Pinafore." being more popular than
THE Pirates of Penzance," presented
at the matinee yesterday afternoon,
and "Iolanthe," the opera sung Tues
day night, drew very good house
last night. The audience gave every
evidence OF enjoyment by liberal ap-
plause. The familiar music was ad-
mirably sung. Both the principals
and the chorus gave a performance
that merited unstinted praise. pin
afore" has survived the flight of time
because its melody and humor does
not grow cid or tiresome with repeti-
ton.
MIR. Hopper was. of course, "Rich-
ard Deceased Eye" or as the pro-
gram has it, Dick Deadeye. and right
well he played the part. giving his
1dtlodo IS(ltdNlOH OIL I0dSeN at the
Bat" as part CT his curtain talk.
There is no record of the number of
times Mr.. Hopper has told of that
tragic day in Mudville when the
mighty Casey struck out, but it runs
into the thousands.
Miss Mackenzie. one OF the most
charming and gifted prima donnas
who has ever visited Birmingham,
was Josephine, the captains daughter,
Mr.. Kelly as Captain Corcoran, and
Mr.. Cunningham as Sir Joseph Por-
ter again proved themselves to be ar
lists of the first rank by their sing
ing and acting, while Mr.. Waterous
as Bill Bobstay added much to. the
pleasure of the performance by his
fine voice. Miss Mershon was an
ideal Little Buttercup. and Miss Ang-
lin was an attractive Hebe. Mr.. Duff
fey, who wcos Miss Mackenzie at
every performance in some role or
another, was the able seaman who
won the captains daughter.
Mr.. Hopper,s company is the best
comic opera organization that has
visited the south in many years Each
CT the operas given this week has
been presented in a way that left
little or no room for criticism.
The engagement will be ended with
another performance of "The Mikado'
tonight, in which Mr.. Hopper appears
in his most famous comic opera role
as Ko-Ko.

No Bottom to Marks

New York, October 4.--Heavy Of
ferings of German marks in the
Paris and London markets caused the
local rate to drop today to AZ cents
a hundred. new low record
There was a divergence of view in
local financial circles as to the cause
for the decline. In some quarters
the activity of German printing
presses. which are now turning out
paper marks at the rate of more than
1,0o0, 100000 a day, was held respon-
sible for their further depreciation
Selling for purely speculative pur-
poses also was blamed for the re-
action.
Other foreign exchanges were firm,
indicating that the fall of the mark
was essentially German problem.
