Phil Saunders returned the first
of the week from the east. His
mother returned with him as far
as Minneapolis and from there she
went to Williston, n. D., to visit
her daughter, Mrs. l.. O. Yonker,
for a short time. Mrs. RiX stopped
of at Madison. Wis. to visit her
daughter Doris who is attending
the Wisconsin University.
Phil says that his visit to the
eastern cities. the capitol at Wash

shown around by friends, was one
of the most interesting experiences
he ever had, and it impressed him
with the greatness Of the country,
the magnitude Of the business in

Of the land. more than anything
else could possibly have done.

LION THAT LOOPS THE LOOP
Sensational Act Carried and Fea
tured by Yankee Robinson.

Beyond any question the greatest
animal feat ever accomplished was
when Vincent Deguerra, the animal
king broke the lion prince to
loop-the-loop. 1t must be re-
membered that Deguerra and his
famous fighting lions, which are
the feature Of the Hoffenback train
ed animal group, were brought to
this country this year on account
Of the European war, bookings for
all German acts having been can
celled in that country. The Yankee
Robinson Shows were particularly
fortunate in securing this world
wide famous feature and when you
witness the circus performance you
will always remember it.

ing and sumptuous settings have been sent to the discard, all previous efforts undone in the matter of gorgeous raj ment. There are modishly attired show girls, spirited ponies and a group of vil- lagers reminiscent of Mother Goose at her best. These and others combine .o form a background for the principals that make Kaleidoscope look cheap and never permits the proceedings to lag.
 Irving Berlin, champion song writer of America, is the responsible person and he has given us syncopated dances, sym copated love songs syncopated grand opera. syncopated lyrics and syncopated everything else that can possibly be sym copated. If anything is left unsyncopated in this combination, Harry B. Smith is still to be reckoned with and his spe- cialty is syncopated humor.
 The cordiality with which Watch Your Step and it's interpreters are greeted is proof positive of it's merits. The artists and their high standing on the musical and comedy stages is unmistakable evil dence that entertainment and company are the best in the world of make believe The chorus with this attraction are ab- solutely Broadway beauties, all draped in costumes designed by the masters of modes and robes-a rosebud garden of girls" No wonder Watch Your Step pleases the eye and the ear.

CHARLES KELLOGG,
 ! THE NATURE SINGER, AT LYRIC THEATRE
Eight Sterling Vaudeville Acts Booked by Manager Monte Semon-VOices
 of Birds Initiated

The entertainment at the Lyric for the present week includes one Of vaudeville's most entertaining acts, Charles Kellogg, the nature singer, the man with the bird voice.
 Nature has endowed Mir Kellogg with throat that gives his voice great range and beauty. He has tenor voice that is regarded by many as being one of the most exquisite in existence. It is said that regardless of many flat tering offers he cannot be tempted to use his voice for anything but the melodies of the birds.
 It has been estimated that the note of no musical instrument and no other human being rises beyond 40O0 vi- brations a second. Kellogg's range is. from 14,Ooo to about SO,OoO; the lat ter, of course inaudible to the un- ' trained ear. Kellogg stands some dis tance from an intense flame and by making certain vocal vibrations causes it to jump up and down. He does not initiate bird notes but he actually pro- duces them Kellogg was born on a ranch many miles from civilization, and has been reared with the birds and, in the great outdoors. The appearance of Mir. Kellogg in Birmingham Is re- garded as one of the seasons theat- rical treats.
 The Lyric offers for the weeks en- tertainment eight other high class acts, including MT. and Mrs. Kelso, comedy sketch. The bill for the first half of the week is composed of AL lens Cheyenne minstrels, presenting "A Cowboys Life at Twilight;'' Viola Du- val in song selections; Sampson and Douglas in That Original Nonsensica1 Oddity;" Stone and Hayes in Green Goods" On the bill for the latter half of the week the operatic singers, My. and Mrs Jack Kelso, will be among the prominent entertainers. Monroe brothers, comedy gymnasts, and An trim and Vale, in Filling of Fun" will add much to the entertainment.
 There will be three performances daily a t the Lyric, the matinee begin- ming at 3 p. m.

KEEP MOVING, z AT
 .BDOU THEATRE, IS A GOOD MUSICAL SHOW
Will Fox and Harry Marks Stewart CO-Stars in This Musical HOdge-Podge of
 Wit and Pretty Girls

Will Fox and Harry Marks Stewart, in Keep Moving" a musical hodge podge, which comes to the Bijou theatre this week for weeks engagement, is con sidered by press and public the equal if not the best of any musical show trav- cling over the popular priced circuit. The usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday bargain matinees will prevail throughout the week. This week is expected to be a big one at the Bijou with all the State Fair visitors in town.
 Bright and catchy musical numbers feature the show, while the comedy part attraction has appeared, the press has been enthusiastic in it's praise and the Bijou management is anticipating a large business throughout the week, as the patrons of this popular playhouse have heretofore shown great liking for merit orious musical shows
 Keep Moving is an excellent name for this attraction, as there is action from the rise of the curtain. In fact, there Is rhythmical swing to the tuneful numbers that immediately catches on with the audience. The chorus consists of a bunch of good looking girls, who can dance and sing, and whose grace and shapeliness add much to the attractive ness of the performance.
 Fox and Stewart, who assume the lead ing roles, rank as real artists in the musical comedy world, and will bring to Birmingham something that is fresh and breezy in the way of snappy comedy. There are many excellent voices in the cast, and the chorus is we'll trained, so that a finished and pleasing entertain ment is assured.
