LITTLE THEATER < SCORES SUCCESS
Children Of Earth Ranks As Best Production
 Yet Given

Birmingham's Little theater has achieved its greatest success in the presentation of Children of Earth" from the pen of Alice Brown
 So great has been the appreciation shown and so gratifying the attendance that it has been decided to continue the play through Monday night. A full house is assured for Saturday night and a great number of seats already have been sold for the Monday per formance.
 Not an uninteresting character is to be seen during the course of the play, although special mention belongs to Mrs. c. R. Sexton, as Mary Ellen Marstow the principal character of the play. Mrs. Sexton's work has been the cause of much favorable comment and is said to be the best of number of leading roles she has played from time to time.
 Playing opposite Mrs. Sexton is Julius Walthal as Peter Hale who like wise comes in for great amount of praise, as does Mrs. Irving Caldwell as Jane Hale, wife of Peter. Mrs. Caldwells portrayal of the Portugese NOuidu lS OHe ol tHC SpOto VI the presentation.
 Messer's Work Good
 Special mention also should be made of the work of Robert Messer as Aaron Barstow, one of the most difficult parts in the entire production. Mir. Messer, a young man of about 25, plays ad- mirably the part of a man of 50 years, and his mnke-np bears no trace what ever of an amateur.
 Other parts are taken by Miss Mary . Earle as Anita Barstow; Richard Smith as Adam Hale; Paul Pim as Nathan Duell; Percy Rosenburger as Uncle Eph Grout and Mrs. Louise Charlton as Synthia Coleman, the viii liage gossip.
 The scene is laid in New England town and is easily one of the most realiastic stage settings ever seen in Birmingham Special praise must be given to the typical New England sit ting room, the work of Mrs. R. C.. Nyoodson who secured the city for the many details of the furnishings. The entire production is under the direction of Bernard Szold.
 Increased interest in the work of the little theater has marked the past week when 12 new members were added.
 Reading for the next play to be pro duced, You and l." by Phillip Barry, has been set for next Wednesday night.
