Der of the company is an artist, the
 staging new and original, the costumes
 handsome beyond description, lyrics
 clever and tuneful, the comedy clean, all
 combining to make the jolliest 40 minutes of fun the Lyric has had.
 Mir Carson is recognized as one of the cleverest dialect comedians on the vaude- vile stage. His humor is of the kind that does not offend, and while he oc- eupied the limelieht the fun went fast and furious His portrayal of the char the Kaufman Cloak and Suit company, was refreshing in its originality. Stew art Jackson as Ted Morgan was an able second to the principal, he sang his num- bers well and when it came to interpret ing the latest dance numbers he was in class with the best that has been seen in Birmingham this season. Miss Eleanor Sutter as Ruth Crane, the runaway heiress, was charmingly graceful and sang her numbers well. The Redheads" are a Eeadliner all right but not because they are readheads but because of the indi- vidual merit of the act.
 Not less well received were Webb and Burns, The Italian Minstrels.' They a novelty in which songs of the ireamy, lifting type mingled with bright, snappy comedy. The act is one of the pest and well deserved the applause given at it's conclusion.
 MT. and Mrs. Connolly, in a dainty little scenic act, "Sweethearts," gave one of he best acts of the season. Both are alented artists and sang well. The stag ng of the number was very attractive.
 Hortense and LaTreaska, in a clown and loll pantomime, although the act showed were fair Miss Leona Steph- ms in novelty singologue was good and pleased the audience. The skating act of he Daleys proved a good opening number.
 Notwithstanding the heated weather the heatre was cool and comfortable. The ce cooled air came through the floor egisters and many fans kept the air in whirl and the immense suction fan in he roof of the theatre carried away the lot air, even that from the stage
