VERM0NT'5 WATER POWERS

Luncheon.

Clark 6. Fits Of Brattlchoro gave an in

luncheon of the Merchants association at
Hotel Vermont on the possibilities of a
great Industrial future for Vermont by
way of developing its natural water power
into electrical energy. The talk was along
practical lines and created much cnthu-
sasm.
Mr. Fits said that there was a funda-
mental legal proposition underlying the
development of water power. and in the
discussion of that i'm the newspapers and
Congress there had arisen a misapprehen-

BURLESQUE CATCHES
 ON AT THE GRAND
Beatrice Darling and Same Company
 Will Remain for Another Week in Birmingham

That burlesque time is ripe in Bir- mingham is being demonstrated daily at the Grand theatre by the capacity audi ences at every performance.
 The show put on last week proved very entertaining and contained all the songs, jokes marches, comedians and pretty girls customary in this class of enter tainment Although the weather has been extremely warm the audience made themselves comfortable by removing their coats, slipping .cool refreshments and further enjoyed themselves by smoking their favorite brands. in itself a novelty and not enjoyed since the closing of the Gaiety several years ago.
 It has long been rumored that burlesque would invade Birmingham. but K. B. Kelly, theatrical man of considerable experience, was the first to conceive and really bring it about in this city. That he took more or less of chance by open- ing on the Southside Is an established fact, yet even with this obstacle against him he has proven beyond question that his convictions were correct by the hearty cooperation and patronage that he re- ceived throughout the week from the public in general
 The show in itself consist of approx imately 25 people. principally pretty girls and clever comedians who will commence Monday matinee and continue through out the present week.
 Miss Beatrice Darling will be seen in the Imaginable comedy, The Good Ship Nancy Hanks"
 This will be Miss Darlings last week in Birmingham as the policy of the new house is to change entire company every two weeks.
 There is performance every afternoon at o'clock and evening at 7:30 and o'clock. The general admission Is 15 and 25 cents.

 For the past three weeks crowds have gathered daily at this theatre to learn the teachings of the Bible by means of motion pictures and .stereopticon slides. While each part is complete in itself, part one traced Creation from the Nebula to the deluse and its causes on to Afra hams time. Part two began with Mechizedelk, leading through Israel's ex- periences to the Babylonian captivity.
