MIR. NEWENS TOe
 APPEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL

Adrian M Newens will be the at- traction in the lyceum on Tuesday night, March 31. Although this will be his first appearance in Birmingham Mir. Newens is well known throughout the country as a monologist and inter- preter who has appeared on most of the great lyceum courses in. the United States.
 MT. Newens was president of the Ma tional Speech Arts association, and is now at the head of the public speaking department of Iowa State college. In addition to his work upon the platform he is today the critic of the Redpath lyceum bureau.
 While presented as a monologist, MT. Newens is all that and more. Ills en- tertaining purpose programmes are truly entertainments with great pur- poses. He impersonates and yet he does not. He presents his characters of real men and women without costume or makeup accessories. He is in no way mechanically offensive Probably the strongest point in his work Is the message he brings to his audience in every programme. His entertainment Is the sermon without the preacher, the lecturer without the lecturer, the drama enacted without the actors or stage properties
 The lecture Tuesday night will begin at S:15 in the auditorium of the Central High school. Special service will be given over the Boyles, Sixth avenue terminal Norwood and North Birming- ham lines

(Continued from Page Twenty-six) friend. It is charming and altogether appropriate return for the many lovely courtesies shown by the major to his friends among the ladies, and 1t has been the pleasure of one or another of these to arrange a gay little meeting over either her own table or at one of the chosen friends to share 1t with him.
 For the past several years Mrs. Charles Oracle Davis has been his hostess, cele- brating March 2S at the Country club. Last year practically the same party sat at the table and laughed with the major at the store of toys arranged by his plate to flttingly mark his first" birth day-it was his 71st. Last night. with one or two exceptions, due to mourning or absence from the city, they were with him again in the tudor room at the club, the heavy green draperies making a pleasantly private little nook for the dinner party,
 Mrs. Davis had chosen lavender sweet peas for her decorations, and they filled two Japanese baskets on which were tied bows of lavender tulle. The place cards were tied to cut glass candlesticks in which were lavender tapers, and bonbons and ices followed the color motive. A feature of the dinner was the introduc- tion of a beautiful silver loving cup brought to Mrs. Davis by Major DeVal- court from New Orleans on his last trip. Each guest drank a toast to him.
 Those who sat with Mrs Davis about the table were Major Devalcourt, MT. and Mrs. Jack Bowron, MT. and Mrs. James c. John, Dr. and Mrs. Mansfield Lathem. pr. D. F. Talley, Mir. Lee Bivngs and MT. John Donaldson.
