The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-19
AT THE THEATRES

Iamply rewarded for their patience for notwithstanding the difficulties under which the actors worked one of the best bills that has been shown at the Lyric was presented. The bill opened in great shape and ended in veritable riot
 Lew Dockstader. always a favorite in Birmingham, added to his laurels last night by an Incompatible impersona- tion of Teddy Roosevelt. Dressed in the accepted rough rider costume, with a perfect makeup and facial expres- sion. Lew made political speech that was full of "Teddyisms" and whimsi- calities. The monologue Is so full of good lines that its acceptance by the audience was foregone conclusion and | the famous ex-minstrel received a we'll deserved and generous hand. Earl and Curtis have played big time in Birmingham and their offering last night, "The Girl and the Drummer was up to their high standard. They have a lot of well-handled foolishness that went over nicely. Each situation was carried to laughing climax. Miss Amy Lesser, singing comedienne. is clever and attractive. Her character Representations are very good and made @ hit
 Fred and Albert those different SlifliidSlS, put up a very tltftT tAHlbf- tion of strength and skill. The act went | through with a snap and proved very pleasing.
 Smith Austin and company were the | laughing hit of the bill. They kept the house in an uproar after the first few minutes. The young lady member of | the company was not given & chance to display her talent, as the audience de- manded the return of fhe. comedian all through her singing number. Their ability to amuse seemed to be limitless and the best evidence of the merit of
 the act is that they held the large audi ' ence to the very close of their number l Pathes Weeklp and comedy pictures opened and closed the bill
 At the Majestic l It appears that Guy Voyer has still
 few surprises up his sleeve.
 Mir. voyer, a delightful light comedian
 hae provided much amusement for several
 weeks at the Majestic with his company
 of comedy maidens and assistant fun
 makers. but 1t was thought by the old | guard that his repertoire of tricks would
 be exhausted after a month or so. How ever. this is fortunately not the case, as yoyer. his maidens and fellow "Brazil- | ians," are very much on the job this week in the tabloid musical farce My Cinderella Girl
 My Cinderella Girl'' Is rather an am bilious effort the book written by Richard Walton Fully has considerable merit but the Wolfolk players have | caught the spirit of the college play And the piece is put on with a dash and go that is infectious even to the audi ence. The plot Is on broad farccal lines
 and requires no little finesse to keep the | rapid action going smoothly. This is done, however. and the whole melange of clever lines and music is successfully worked up to one of the best baseball scenes staged in Birmingham in many a day for the final curtain. My CAlde- rella Girl'' is credit to Voyer, the di- rector, and incidently a feather in the hat of Voyer. the comedian
 l My Cinderella Girl'' is replete with in- terpolated musical numbers, of which | Chinatown" sung by Fred Durham tpd chorus, is the most pretentious. Little Girls by Voyer and company is also one of the clever numbers
 Fred Durham, Joseph T. Woods, Charles
 Emerich and Sydner Garrison were more than acceptable in the male roles,
 subordinate to Guy Voyer, and the fem iIine parts. were in the capable hands of Miss Harris Lee, Miss Lorraine Bernard, Miss Dolly Trathern and Miss Minnie Pill lard
 On the whole, My Cinderella Girl" is
 quite worth while.
