ADJUSTMENTS
At the Orpheum

With the extra added features OF first
run Kfnenac color pictures, shown at the
Orpheum. presents a vaudeville bill of
variety and merit this week. The head
liner is japanese team of acrobats, jug
glers and balancers who live up to and
even surpass the advance claims for them
that they perform wonders not under
taken by others. OF the other four acts
on the bill, two are very clever, indeed,
and the others are UP to the standard.
One of the members of the acrobatic
team climbs flight of steps on his head,
using no other means of locomotion. At
the night performance he had several mar
row escapes from an accident, and in
fact bruised his nose badly by slips.
The woman of Birmingham looking for
artistic gowns will find a living model
at the Orpheum this week in Miss Grace
DeMar. Beside that she sings four
bzrand new songs-not heard before in
Birmingham-and does it so gracefully
and cleverly that she was easily the hit
OF the bill.
Milo Belden and players present a one
act comedy sketch entitled "Oh, Doctor .
with Mr.. Belden, Mr.. Hardman and Miss
Janet Miller. 1t is the story of the ef-
forts of two actors to extract some
money out of the sister of one of them. It
is original and contains many clever
lines.
The opening speciality is o. c. Falls and
company in juggling eccentric stunts,
and they are eccentric.
Rag time piano playing is the last fea-
ture of Calm and Nugent, rathskellar
entertainers. They introduce several new
songs.
Her Growing Glory" a drama of a
fisher girls beautiful hair and her reve-
nue. man sweetheart. is the most interest
ing of the Kinemacolor pictures this
week. 1t is a well acted, beautiful staged
picture in the natural colors. Lake
Garda," g scenic picture of great beauty,
is the other Kinemacolor picture, which
made their debut to Orpheum audiences
this week
