ADJUSTMENTS
Majestic

The Majestic this week offers an
other good bill of vaudeville for the
amusement lovers of Birmingham and
one that will be exceptionally pleasing
to the children. The immense audiences
which packed the theatre last evening
gave every evidence of being well
pleased with the performance, applause
being generously manifest throughout
the evening.
Buckley and Moore are singers and
dancers, the male member of this COM
bination being an extremely clever &c
centric dancer. His rag-time terpsich-
orean efforts were humorous and did
not lack in graeefulness. The female
of the species who completed the
troupe was charming. and her singing
and dancing caught on.
Billy Patterson appears In a black
face monologue which closes with a
clever dance The monologue proved
to be somewhat original and most of
the jokes were new to Birmingham.
That was enough to make the act a
hit
we no-na' the Indian princess,
danced around and around four huge
rattlesnalSes who snapped and writhed
'at her every approach. We-no-na
closed her act by allowing the largest
reptile to bite her in the arm, draw
Ing blood, and then gave pantomme
acting of the throes of death and fin
ally death.
Fields and Fink are a Yiddfsh cou-
pie of which the male member bore the
bunt of work in making the act a sue
cess. The act pleased and caused one
young man to lose all control over his
visibility. much to his discomfort as
he found himself the exposure of all
eyes. and the comedian grasped the
opportunity to Joke this victim OF hys-
terics much to the amusement of the
audience
Kurts' roosters special feature
made a very favorable impression and
will please the children during the
week. These ROSTERS are well trained
and the act Is one of the features of
the bill.
