Majestic-vaudevIIIe.

Again this week Manager Gould offers a great vaudeville bill of comedy. music, clever monologues, acrobatic acts with comedy, and five beautiful women in the various acts Three of the acts are di- rectly off the Orpheum circuit, and every one of them has been headliner there If anything, this weeks attraction is stronger than that of last week. which was admitted to be the best bill ever seen at the Majestic.
 The bill includes the Rennee family of six people, presenting five different char acter singing panoramas; the Byrne-Gol- son players character actors; Electro, the wonderful. who passes 5000 volts of cleo tricity through his body and performs other wonderful stunts Flemen and Roth, a natty duo in well dressed spe- cialty; Misses Lockwood and Bryson, who are said to be the best dressed women in vaudeville; Marie Salisbury, a clever dancer and singer; Rice and Elmer, com edians on the bars; Thomas J. Dempsey, a monologuist and singer, and the Ma jestograph.
 The Rennee family is said to be the greatest opponents of European character singing ever imported to this country. They introduce five different character scenes with songs in the various tongues to match, Italian, French, German, Hun garian and American, with special scenery and costumes to match. The finale is an American battlefield scene, showing the tents and soldiers in the background.
 Manager Gould added Miss Lockwood and Bryson to the bill. It is a very high class speciality with two beautiful women, noted for the elegant costumes they wear. This act has only recently completed swing around the Keith and Orpheum cir cults and newspaper clippings declare them to be excellent entertainers.
 No vaudeville act in Mobile and Mont gomery this season has created the sensa- tional hit made by the Byrne-Golson trio, which presents Uncle Seth's Visit" a comedy pure and simple. Miss Golson, who is an Alabama girl. granddaughter of Judge Golson of Montgomery Is said to be exceptionally clever as the country girl, and the Byrne Brothers essay two other comedy roles in a most acceptable manner, getting round after round of laughter.
 The fourth headline feature is Electro and his company, with wonderful act consisting of a series of startling stunts with natural electricity, such as lighting gas, lighting a cigar setting fire to a newspaper, welding two pieces of iron to- eether and similar feats by the mere use of his hand The climax comes when he passes 5000 volts of electricity through his body and that of his sister, delicate, fra looking little woman. The act is astonishing from start to finish.
 Miss Laura Roths Gowns are going to be the subject of the town talk this week when she appears at the Majestic. She wears several different gowns and they are all works of art. She and William Flemen. an English comedian and singer, present clever and entertaining act, with new songs and a sprinkling of clever repartee.
 Rice and Elmer. couple of comedy acrobats, will present a bar act. their work said to be ever so clever and origi- nal. They were placed on the bill to strengthen it in place of another act which Manager Gould did not consider strong enough for Birmingham The
