Stick up to it, Mr.. Wells and I predict

1 mean the standard Of vaudeville bill
which you set by the one presented at
the Bijou last night. 1t is as good as any
one could wish to see. Six acts are all
that could be desired, and each of them
scored a well deserved hit.
1t would be hard to pick the best. The
acting Of Charlie Grapewin in THE
Awakening of Mr.. Pipp," is in a class
set aside and kept for special occasions.
Miss Chance is a good supporter, and

The marvellous Merrills were good
enough to hold the audience in its seat
after the final curtain had dropped, and
that in itself Is sufficient endorsement for
any act. Moung Mya, the Hindoo, has a
right to the title marvellous. His juggling
work is absolutely new to Birmingham.
The balls he juggles seem to nestle to al

Maddox and Wayne have made a hit In
Birmingham before. AS the messenger
boy one of them has no equal. He also
gives a screaehingly funny imitation of a
chicken with it's head chopped off. The
team will stand for another visit Roger
West and Ida VanSiclin are far better
musicians than they are comedians, and
their comedy is not bad. Their music Is
very good. The team played in hard luck
last night as their final was broken by
the wrong drop being lowered but they
promise better the rest of the week.
No one thought Maude Beal Price had
anything good in store, but she surprised
the house agreeably before her act was
half through. She is a good impersonator.
Clitholda Antonio would be better with
out so many affected bows and scrapes.
The management should have the peo-
pie who start the stamping gut out of .be

that every one be in their seat before the
curtain rises, or wait until the first act is
over. +. H. B.
