Bill of Big Features at Majestic

A bill of big vaudeville features is featured this week at the Majestic thea tre, and it promises to be one of the best that has been seen at that theatre in some weeks. Headlining the bill will be two acts which are well and favorably known 10 Birmingham audiences.
 Direct from the New York Hippodrome will come the Original Dollar Troupe Of acrobats, who were for two seasons the feature athletic offering of Barnum X Bailey. The team is said to be one of the most polished and accomplished on the stage. They perform a series of difficult and dangerous feats of skill. The act will be entirely different from that seen with Barnum X Baileyfs circus, as they have added several dangerous and new features. This unusual attraction Is a special engagement for Birmingham. There are eight people in the act, in- cludng men and women.
 Some months ago an unheralded black face comedian came to the Orheum thea ire and made a hit In fact he scored just a series of home runs like Baker did last year in the worlds series. This man was H. T. Mcconnell, booked as the president of the thirteen club and he made good to such an extent that he
  this time at the Majestic.
 A cowboy and his girl are the central figures in very clever little sllit which will be presented by Gibson and Ranney, known as "The Cowboys Courtship."
 A little bit of a mite of a, woman, yet a phenomenal woman in many ways, is another Majestic act this week Mite Mooree, she Is called, and she Is a trapeze performer distinctly different from any that have been here before. In addition to her daring feats on the bar, she is said to have the most wonderful muscu- lar development of any woman on the stage.
 A clever young miss in character inn presentations. songs and several elab- crate costumes will be the fifth of the bills features. Miss Vera Rettina is the young lady. and she has some fresh bits of repartee as well as several songs which were written for her.
 There are matinees every afternoon at 2:S0 at the Majestic, commencing Monday, and two performances every night during the week, the first at 7:30 and the second at 9 o'clock.
 The motion pictures of the theatre are always excellent and well presented. The films are new and therefore good to look at, and the subjects are original fre- quently first run photos. During the past week Manager Semon has made many and extensive improvements in the Majestic. including decorating the lobby and much of the interior repainting the exterior and adding other features which have frightened the house and made it far more attractive. The house is bril- iantly illuminated inside and out and this feature appeals to the vaudeville goer.

so beset on every side and attended by so many misadventures that while itself remaining an appealing interest, all it's accessory situations arouse amusement. Some idea of the fun developed may per haps be gleaned by summary of the characters of the play which, besides the lovers, include an Italian house jani- tor, his Irish wife, a lively fun-loving &C., tress, a New York man-about-town, an amusingly whimsical uncle of the maid in love, and others, including the pupils of the dancing school and the guests of yachting party.

Great Is the Free Lunch

From the New York Evening Sun-
 Today the free lunch is one of the deep est-rooted trees in our forest of hardy conventions. Occasional efforts have been made to tear 1t up from the friendly American soil. but without avail. To be sure some of its greatest luxuriance has been Topped off; such free lunches as some set forth in that Augustan age known as the "Flin Fisk Renaissance no longer stimulate the vitals of the cas- ual visitor to even the most open-handed caterers to the public thirst.

are remarkable performers, and their act is handsomely staged and filled with thrllers.
 The motion pictures for the week will include a clever comedy subject, and one or two other subjects which will please
 and entertain. The music is another Orpheum feature that is appreciated, and
 the orchestra has been augmented re- gently. There are matinees every afternoon at
 2:3O and two performances every night. the first at 7:30 and the second at 9 O clock
