  from these hills, and his old Auburn schoolmates and the alumni of Bessemer. who number in the hundreds, are ant1ci- pating the game with confidence. The drubbing which Sewanee gave the Ala bama scrub team the other day does not dampen their ardor in the least An or ganized delegation from Bessemer will probably go up to assist the Auburn boys tear the roof off the grandstand and try their voices on the new yells. Lacey is one of the most popular young men at his college. Last year he was cap tain and fullback of the team, and bore the brunt of many hard-fought battle. There Is an expression of sorrow that Alex Houston, another member of the team from Bessemer, is sick at his home and will be unable to play. However, en- thusiasm is as broad and as long as the old gridron itself.
 New Theatorium.
 Bessemer will soon have another place of amusement. As the town grows IL be- comes more and more evident that people | should not be obliged to seek these light exhibitions in Birmingham, when they 1 can be provided here at home. 1 Several months ago a Theatorium was opened on Second avenue, between Eigh- ! teenth and Nineteenth streets, and it's business has been surprising. The great advantage of these al-day shows is that | time at his own convenience without tim ing himself as in the case of a theatre. The moving picture idea has developed rapidly in the last year, from d poor pay ing paekmans travelling show to a per manent. respectable place for idle mo- l ments.
 The two vacant storerooms under the | Rebe hall on Third avenue have been leased by the Birmingham owners to | the New York Amusement company, who will open up the western side in few days with a model moving picture show. Carpenters will begin at once to make the necessary changes, and will put in seats | to the capacity of about fifty. Gilt and white trimmings on the outside will add greatly to the attractiveness of the place. A few weeks later the management in- tends to enlarge the capacity to take in both rooms.
 Recognizing the need of an attractive name, a premium of $1O has been offered to the man, woman or child of Bessemer who suggests the most appropriate name. 1 Competent judges from the business men will be selected and the contest is ex- pected to arouse much rivalry.
