Adelaide Tliurston Even More Pleas ing Off the Stage Than On It Talk at Random Her Play for the Next Season. Miss Adelaide Thurston, the dainty little acress who appeared In "The Tri umph of Betty," at the Academy of Music last night; is as pleasing off the stage as she is on it In fact, she is more delightful. Her vivacity and manner are charming, irresistible. One likes her Instinctively and hates to leave her. It was the privilege and pleasure of two newspaper men to meet the lit tle woman last night. She was im mensely pleased with the warm wel come she received from the Charlotte audience. "How long have you been playing Charlotte?" a reporter asked. "Ever since I have been on the stage," replied Miss Thurston, adding with a reminiscent smile, "I played here When the audience did not know I was In the company." The conversation turned to player folks. Local favorites, among whom Miss Thurston must be classed, were the topic Tim Murphy was mention ed. "My application for my first po sition on the stage was to Mr. Mur phy," said the acress. "He is one of my best friends." In answer to a query Miss Thurstpn said that next season she would ap pear In a new play being written es pecially for her by Messrs. Phelps and Short, the authors of "Sweet Clover," In which she began her career as a star five years ago The authors have been working on the play about two years and a pleasing production is promised. AT THE ACADEMY TO-MORROW. "Accepting Christ" Will be the Sub ject of the Lecture. Considerable Interest is being mani fested In the big meeting for men to be held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock In the Academy of Music under the ausplcee of the Young Men's Chris tian Association. The speaker will be Rev. Dr. James A. B. Scherer, president of Newbeny College, Newberry, SL C. President Scherer is one of the most popular speakers that come to Charlotte. It will be remembered tttat President Scherer spoke In Charlotte about a year ago on "The Eastern War." His address caused considerable comment. President Scherer lived many years In Japan and is considered an authority on all questions pertaining to the kingdom. He has written several books and is an educator of note, hav ing held a professorship In the Im perial University situated at Tokyo, Japan. The distinguished Wlsitor will speak on the subject, "Accepting Christ," and every man in Charlotte should avail himself of the opportunity of hearing him. A pleasing feature of the meeting will be the singing of the Ariel Male Quartette. Mr. Arthur L. Butt will act as precentor and the association or chestra will assist In the musical parts of the meeting for men: An invitation is given to all men whether identified with the Young Men's Christian Association or not.

I" a s' t ' 'f " "' i (' One Contemplated for duirlotte Lot .Already. Secured A Year 1 of , Wonderful 'Activity Sopio 'Thing s That Have Been Done. ; , , The Catholics of Charlotte are con templatang the pjild-ng of a second church in the city. Sme time ago, the hindsofne lot at the earner of North Tryon" and Twelfth streets, was 'se cured for this specific purpose. The building of the new church will hardly be begun very soon for there Is yet no pressing need for.it Rrv. Father Jo seph, the pastor, stated to an Observer reporter yesterday that the membe ship of St. Peter's was Increasing very rapidly , and that the building of the new church was but a, question Of time. Several years will probably elapse before any actual work is done on the- hew edltice. The past yoar has been a very busy one with the Catholics of Charlotte. No resident of the city has had more to do than Father Joseph. The magnld cent O'Donoghue Hall, at the corner of South Tryon and Stonewall streets, has been built; the building occupied by the Sisters of Mercy has been moved to the rear and a number of Improvements made, and the Mercy Hospital has been built at a cost of several thousand dollars. In addition to this, the regular work of the church has been looked after; so much so that the membership of St Peter's has been vry materially Increased. y When the new church has been built in the northern section of the city, a second pastor will likely be sent here by the Bishop. He would be under the general supervision of Fasher Jo seph and the two would doubtless live together. Charlotte Is already one of the strongest Catholic cities in the State and is rapidly becoming more so. MISS THURSTON A FAVORITE. PleaHes a Representative Audience In "Ttie Triumph of Betty" A Pleas, lug Sort of Play. Miss Adelaide Thurston continues to grow In favor with the local theatre fcrolng pubk n "The "flrlumph of Betty," at the Academy of Music last night, she delighted a representative Charlotte audience that filled the house. The audience showed Its ap preciation by liberally applauding the charming little actress and her sup port. "The Triumph of Betty." is a pleas ing sort of play. Betty Bartlett, a typical, unconventional. Independent American girl, visits her uncle and aunt, Montague Bartlett, senior canon of Wllchester, England, and his wife. The England Bartletts. especially the canon's wife, are staid, conventional people of the most severe type. The striking contrast furnishes a great part of the charm of the play and gives opportunity for some pleasing BRUSHES bur showing of brushes Is surprising. , Until you looked it over you wouldn't suppose there were so many different kinds of brushes for the same purpose, or so many similar brushes for different purposes.
