"The Belle of Avenue Az

Fife Fay, a cemedienne of unique meth ods and pronounced talent opened a weeks engagement at the Eijou theatre last night in "The Belle of Avenue A The piece, while presumably a musical comedy. has much more of plot than one usually finds classed a such enter tainment. "The Belle of Avenue A" comes nearer being a play set to music.
 Miss Fay has been to Birmingham be- fore and her portrayal of the tough girl Of the slums has rather improved with time. She injects much comedy of an unusual sort into her performance and as Maggie Burns. a transplated flower Of the slums. she made many people laugh last night. It is a surprise to see A pretty, dainty woman suddenly as sume Bowery ways a fact which ac- counts largely for Miss Fays success as a mimic. Her facial expressions, in- initabe East Side strutting and awkward stumbles, while ill-assorting with her nat ural grace. never fail to evoke the desired laughs. Miss Fay's rendition of "The Belle of Avenue A song that helped her on the road to success was a feature of the performance.
 The company is as a whole somewhat better than the average musical comedy organization sent down south. although rather weak as regards the chorus and costume effects. Miss Fay has several clever comedians in her support, includ- ing Harry Fields, as Solomon Bloom, and Al H. Lang as Carl Klatz, the saloon keeper. These two kept the house in a good humor all the time with their comi- calities. MT Fields did a speciality of parodes and dances that was excellent and won repeated encores. Billy Kent as Spike McNel was good in a part that might easily have been exaggerated Mrs. Kent also did some rapid-fire dancing that won applause.
 The music of 'The Belle of Avenue A is unusually pretty. Some of the best are: There's a Little Fighting Blood in Me-" T Would Like to Have a Photo graph of You" You're the Candy ''lndana Anna "Why Don't You Try?'' and Mir Fields parodies.

''I consider that first of all the highest recommenda ton that can be paid any pavement is it's adoption by a progressive city," said Mobiles Mayor, and furthermore the fact that everyone, including the eng:neer street commissioner and members of the City Council express their entire satisfaction with the work that has been done in this city, and it's continued adoption or use in new paving contracts is the best proof perhaps of it's real worth. We have made an investigation of the pavement from the crushing process of the stone to it's final pressing with the big steam rollers upon the streets and the thoroughness with which this work is done is convinc- ing to my mind that it is an exceptionally good paving
