An entirely new bill. running through
the week, was. presented at the Majestic
last night. 1t possessed many of the ele-
ments of good vaudeville, variety, nov
city, good music and numbers that didn't
drag.
The show is well worth the price. In
order to make vaudeville go in Birming-
ham the new management has reduced
the admission to the popular level, at
the same time raising the standard of
attractions.
Courture and Gillette, acrobatic comed-
ians, were the first number last night
and they gave the performance good
snappy start.

Miss Amelia Bingham.

The Lilac Room in which Amelia
Bingham and an unusually well rounded
company will appear at the Jefferson
theatre Friday and Saturday Win 4 Sat-
urday matinee, is said to be much the
best play ever produced by this cleVes
and highly successful actress manager.
1.-The Lilac Room" is dramatic comedy
of English lifht by Evelyn Greenleaf
Sutherland and Beulah Marie Dix, au-
thors of Richard Mansfields delightful
success of several years ago, Monsieur
Beaucaire," They have given Miss Bing
ham the part of big hearted and fas-
chatting but unconventional American
woman, who is projected unawares into
a very conventional English rural COM

Although it is introduced at the close of
the performance, it woke the audience up
anew and sent the crowd away in fine
humor. All through the piece the three
comedians are much in evidence and the
fact that they do not become tiresome IS
proof of their ability as entertainers.
Briefly stated, TON, Dick and Harry
has slight plot concerning a flying ma
chine which is stolen from the grounds
at West Point and is taken to a mythical
island where the scene of operations is
transferred in the second act. The first act
takes place at West Point, where an op-
portunity is afforded for most effective
stage setting and the introduction of
pleasing costume effects. Tom, Dick and
Harry have many amusing adventures
here and the fun is kept up in the second
act.
The scenery and costumes are new and
pretty, a pleasing contrast TO the usual
run of musical shows which come to Biz
mingham. The entire performance has
sparkle about it that is eminently pleas
ing. In addition to the variety of cos
tunes they wear, the girls are sprightly

Torrance Lovers Lane" was capitally
presented. "The Cobweb Man was also
good in the second act, while all the mus
zeal specialties were well staged. The
opening of the second act disclosed a
pretty stage picture with an Oriental at
mosphere, both in scenery and costumes
that permitted plenty of color.
Bickell, Watson and Wrothe came to
town last night practically unknown, but
they made a pronounced impression and
won many friends by their ability as fun
makers. Tom, Dick and Harry is one
of the best if not the best, shows of its
kind offered at the Bijou this season. 1t
