MAJESTIC OPENS
 WITH AF|NE BILL
Signor BagOnghi Healthier for Opening Bill-HOb-
 litzelle to See Show

bale of laughter, a nautical breeze or two, many bundles of wit and humor and much of entertainment of divers and sun dry kinds. not to forget melodious music. will be given the people of Birmingham In the bill announced for the Majestic g opening tomorrow afternoon and night
 X great deal of interest has been evinced in the announcement that ''bis time vaudeville at popular prices" would again be given this city by the Majestic being reopened under the Interstate Amusement company's management and the premier performances tomorrow, which is Washingtons birthday, win bor- der on a society event, as many mem- bers of the social set will enjoy the open ing performances.
 Karl Hoblitzelle, president of the com pany, will attend the opening, and many novel features will be introduced.
 The headliner for the opening pro- gramme is Signor Bagonghi, he noted equestrian clown, who, while of diminui. tive stature. yet is a perfect horseman and an entertainer and hulnorist of parts.
 In his act Signor Bagonghi IS supreme and he never fails to win the applause which stamps his act with the audiences g approval.
 A good singing quartet. of which there nrc comparatively few, though always popular is introduced in the Primrose Four probably the most pleasing act of tho kind in vaudeville.
 The Primrose Four has stocked itself with budget songs full of melody and charm, that swings them into popular fayor-and the fame which accompanies it. with a lot of good, wholesome comedy Injected into the performance.
 Bob Webb, Charles Renhart, Thomas Murphy and Bob Gibner, compose the quartet and together an interesting fea- ture develops, as the four are so stout, not one of them weighing less than 200 pounds, their admirers call them 1000 pounds of harmony.
 A travesty, with rich, spicy humor, is A Night on the Boulevards," as pre- sented by the Langdons, of which there are three, Rose. Harry and Fully. The stage settings of this act are remarkably rretty and the fun begins at the start.
 The Langdons present some new dance designs, and medleys of song interrupt the thread of the story they play up to-" but their droll style and inimitable charter make such Interruptions delight fully welcome
 James Mccormack presents Between Decks" with winsome Eleanor Irving, en- abl1ng the audience to enjoy nautical breeze or two" as the billing for the act goes.
 Between Decks is a frail craft, 'tls true, but Mccormack and Irving are skilled in handling such things, and they wait 1t along the shores of vaudeville on the sea of laughter straight to the dock or real enthusiastic plaudits.
 The greatest act of the bill, placed at it's bottom, is the Gaudsmiths, eccentric clowns who have, with their two brainy Spanish poodle dog companions n

their employers business. than he does himself Miss Brown does not think it is beneath her dignity when I tell her how a thing should be done-seemingly,
 she has understood that most admira ble Napoleonic maxim that only those who have learned to obey can ever be trusted with command.
 And again, Miss Brown pays me the compliment of using her memory in a way which shows me that she takes an intelligent interest in her work It may
 be wrong. but in my opinion about 90
 per cent of girls who lose their jobs do
 so because they have no real interest in
 their work; they have no enthusia sm. Perhaps they regard their work as a
 necessary evil-the means of earning a
 livelihood. an evil which cannot be cured.
 so must be endured as easily as possible But from the employers standpoint. if is natural for preference and promotion to be given to the girl who has some thing more than mere mechanical ability Tor her work, to one who has real in-
 terest and warm understanding for it. There is another thing that would make
 me keep Miss Brown in her place, even
 though it meant bit of struggle to
 myself-she is absolutely trustworthy. I know, without any searching or inquiry
 that she never talks about my business. and that she does not gossip with callers
 at my office; on the other hand. she does not receive callers with stupid giggline
 or idiotic self-consciousness, but can con verse with them sensibly and tactfully when necessary. Miss Brown has A fine discrimination and tact in such matters Just the very matters in which lack of tact or indiscretion will easily cause "a girl to be sacked"
 My only hope is that Miss Brown will
 elect to keep her job for long time yet to come; 1t is patent to my observa-
 ton that if she did leave my service a dozen of my business friends would com
 pete to obtain her!

TRADE TRAINING
 FOR GROWNUP MEN
Interesting Experiment Be- ing Carried Out in Great
 Britain Now


 London February S.-tCorrespondence of The Associated Press).-One of the most interesting employment experiments in England Is trade training school for srown-up men, enabling them to shift from trade temporarily stagnant owing to the war. into one where skilled labor is urgently needed. The experiment is being carried out by the Prince of wales relief fund, and if successful may be in- definitely extended.
 Furniture trade was ore of the most adversely affected by the war and a large number of skilled furniture workers have since become skkiled leather workers, on military equipment.
 The school was opened December 2. In the first five weeks of it's existence i'd enrolled 139 men, 64 of whom have al- ready 'graduateds and obtained employ ment as leather stitchers
 More than half the men placed have beerl over 40 years old, and the report of thel first five weeks work in the school states| that men over 40. "and indeed over 50, I are quite as quick and adaptable as the| younger men.

 The Gaudsmiths' work is of an aero batic nature, absolutely novel to Birming- ham, with degree of skill and an ac- compartment of genuine hnmor which carries off the routine of their work in a sfappy, thrilling way.
