Gus minded music lovers to make brief
discussion of 1t worth while.
Translated opera is the rule in other
countries, but it has not been the rule
here. In New York 1t has for many
years been the custom to give operas
in the language in which they We're
written except when this was quite
impossible. Every artistic music lover
will doubtless admit that IL an opera
cannot be given In the original then 1t
should be sung with English text.
There are several other points which
might be made in regard to the opera
season. but 1t Is not worth while. to
make them. The Metropolitan Opera
House is intrenched In public favor, as
1t should be. Public taste in music is
not now on the level which 1T occupied
twenty-five years ago. The young
people who have heard their first
operas I'm the course of Mr.. CATH
Casazza's administration do not know
what the old people mean when they
talk about the great singers of Grau's
day. They naturally believe that those
whom they hear now are the equals OF
any that ever lived, and II Is useless to
talk to them about the matter.
Record of the Season.
Furthermore the season is over. 1t
will be more interesting and certainly
more profitable to comment on the
doings OF next winter than on those
which have now paJsed into the
record. The official table OF the late
seasons performances is subjoined:

 Pleas filed with the state commis- sion show that:
 The war department through J.

NEGRESS' CLAIM DENIED
Sues for Possession of Half of Valu-
 able Oil Lands
By AssocIated Press

New Orleans, April 2O.-The Louisi- ana supreme court today denied the claim of Frances Scott Glenn, negroes, of Memphis. Tenn. to one half of the oil lands in Claiborne parish said to be worth between sl5,00o,0OO and $2o,0Oo 900, recently awarded to Lillie G. Taylor, another negress
 The Glenn woman. who claimed tO be the daughter of Lona McGee, by a second husband, sued George West. in possession of the lands when claimed by Lillie Taylor, and the Gulf Refining company. who had leased 1t to bore for oil, for possession of one- half of the lands and for all money realized from oil taken from the property. The court in its decision awarding the property to the Taylor woman declared that the latter was the natural daughter of Lona Mc- Gee.
 The court denied the Glenn wom- ans suit on the ground that she could not claim the land as the prop erty of her father. as he hadn't been placed in possession of it by law nor was he in possession of it as owner when Lona McGee died.

 Federal official Active
 Considered as strong and q lead ing argument for the bridge was 6 letter from the acting secretary of war, read by Congressman John Me- puffie, of the First Alabama district. The letter filed with the commission said: With reference to your in- quiry as to the views of the war de- partment relative to the necessity for d bridge across the upper reaches of Mobile bay, l beg to advise that the studies of the highway projects ot the fourth corps area, which have been made in the war department, all clearly indicate that the construc- tion of such bridge is highly desr- able. In the absence of such bridge the road projects examined in the war department make no provision for a connecting highway between Pensa- cola and Mobile, thus making neces- sary a detour via Montgomery and Selma Ala, The importance of a connection between Pensacola and Mobile is clearly recognized when it is realized that this connection will complete the coastal highway from Jacksonville to New Orleans"

HOPE HAMPTON AT TRIANON { THIS WEEK IN STAR DUST"

A photoplay suggested by Fannie Hurst's famous novel, Star Dust" at the Trianon this week, bears throughout it's interesting scenes in a womans life the marks of the genius and understanding of great writer and student of human nature. The result is compelling drama, hu- man and understandable, filled with the little annoyances and problems that might beset any of us, but all coming to the screen with an onrush of emotion and meaning that reveals ordinary happenings in the high spots of life and its drama, fine meanings and delicate shades.
 The story takes for it's central fig ure one of the many of the worlds tragic children.s the geniuses in child hood and in later life, who are mis- understood by clumsy parents. It is the old idea of the hen who warns to life fluffy little duck and squawks on the bank while her strange off, spring swims into deep water. that is given new thrill in Star Dust, ', in the experiences of the suppressed little girl in Becker House." in a town called Paradise, who grows to womanhood under the heels of 8 mother who has a character that is a strange throwback to -puritanism intermixed with awful tyranny over the entire household.
 Hope Hampton, star-eyed anl abounding in glorious womanhood, is more than appealing in her sym pathetic portrayal of the girl of genius Thomas Maquire, who plays opposite her. is also good as a dap per and attractive man of New Yorkls s society set. The tyrannical mother. the strange meek little father and, in fact, all of the interesting charac- ters of Paradise" and later of New York are wonderfully set forth by a fine cast.

ADJUSTMENTS
DANCE FOLLIEs- HEADLINE
 BILL AT LOEW'S
By E.teue BetAea Marlowe

Tho Dance Foliies," one of the most artistic vaudeville offerings seen here in several months, head line the bill at Loew's Bijou theatre for the first half of the week. The bill, as a whole, furnishes good enter tainment, the only objectionable fea- ture being in the act of Weston and Eline.
 Cowboy Williams and Daisy open the bill with a number of juggling stunts. Several new tricks are in- troduced with the cannon balls.
 Ubert Carlton appears on the sec- ond spot in blackface but never re- sorts to negro dialect. He has a voice well suited to singing the type of songs which he uses in his act.
 song and dance novelty is of- fered by Wahl and Francis. The partners sing, dance and play sev- eral musical instruments. They drew a good hand" yesterday.
 Weston and Eline, billed as the headliners. in their act The Under world Pair" occupy the fourth spot on the bill. Their comedy is bois- terous, vulgar and obscene. Although there might be people similar to the characters which they portray. it is hardly elevating to the audience. and surely not the American stage, to have such acts In existence. They should be relegated to the Kerosene circuit" or the burlesque troupe.
 As a direct comparison, the Dance Follies' come next with an array of artistic dancers that has seldom been equaled in local vaudeville circles The Dance of India" Is splendidIy done by one of the dancers,

WEBSTER. MENTALIsT. AND
 GLORIA SWANSON, ALCAZAR


 If Webster, the mental giant, who appears at the Alcazar all this week Is a charlatan, then give us more cEarlatans, Is a summary of the gem eral consensus of opinion of the Bir- mingham theatre-goers who have seen his act. If the day of miracles s~ past. either this must be the day Of miraculous subterfuge or else Webster is truly a mental marvel possessed of an uncanny faculty. that, had he lived in the days of the New England witchcraft, would have surely sent him to the stake.
 Question after question was an- swered at his afternoon performance Monday without pause. He rapidly ran through the numerous questions that had been placed in sealed en- velopes and were left In plain view of the audience, calling each ques- tioner by name, explaining the gen. eraI purport of their query and giv- ing logical, clear and concise answers and solutions to the problems that they involved. Not only is his art unique in its mystery. but he dis plays an insight Into the fundamen- tals of human character that, in his hands. becomes an effective tool with which to accomplish great good for mankind. He answers questions or any nature except those dealing with crime.
 The Alcazar bill Is further aug mented by Gloria Swanson In "So- ciety For Sale" clever vehicle that Is we'll adapted to this most versa tile of screen artists In the role of the heroine she purchases her entre as the fiancee of an indigent, but popular. society man. Some very entertaining situations are resultant. and an unexpected. yet happy end- ing, brings to close photodrama of m6re than usual interest.
 There is also two-reel comedy of the usual Alcazar high standard that handles the old situation of an ambitious mother making a real at tempt to marry off an eldest daugh- ter, while encumbered by younger one of far greater attractions, in a manner that is redoient of clean cut. real American comedy.
