DARK" AT THE BUOU
Tremendous Drama of Life
in a Great City Is
Revealed

Halton Powelfs production, Broadway
After Dark" which will be presented in
this city for the first time this week at
the Bijou theatre, is a play showing the
difficulties that confront a young woman
who, after leading wayward life, tries
to reform. The author. w. c. Herman
no, doubt. based his argument on the
statement that there are many women
who have retraced their steps on the
primrose path. closed the book Of their
past and made it a sealed volume. His
theme is one that is well known, and IN
exploiting it he has told story powerful
in its dramatic intensity.
Violet lie Clair has come to New York
and fallen victim to the temptations or
great city. The lure of the glittering
lights of Broadway and the destinations
of the cabaret claim her. and the first
act finds her the occupant Of fashion,
able apartment and surrounded by friends
of questionable character A young man
by the name of Victor Manning falls sn
love with her and she reciprocates his
affection. Manning wants to marry her,
but Stephen Rockwell, a wealthy specu-
lator who has been attentive to Violet,
attempts to get rid of the newcomer by
exposing sviolets past, thinking he is ig
norant of It. Manning knows all about
the young woman and denounces Rock
well for his lack of manhood. He per-
suades Violet to leave her old associates.
and she is living quietly in the country
and trying to live an honest life, when
her former friends come and try to lure
her back to Broadway. She refuses and

Manning in g, few days. Manning's father

LYRIC THEATRE TO
SHOW 10 BIG ACTS
"Who Was to Blame?" a De-
lightful Comedy Booked
by Manager Semon

The fall season at Birmingham pop
ular vaudeville house is getting into its
full stride and the offering for this
week is an interesting and varied one.
There are 10 big Keith acts, which
means that each is good one, for the
Keith reputation for presenting only the
best has gone long way toward popu-
larizing the Lyric and vaudeville in this
city.
AS usual, there will be two bills for
the week. the first half presenting five
well-chosen acts that come we'll heralded
Robert Everest's Novelty Circus, or mon
key hippodrome, the headliner for the
first half is one of the most novel ami
NAL acts ever presented. The entire per-
Torrance is in charge of a monkey man
ager, who introduces his own compost
TONS specialties and features, absolutely
unassisted by any human guidance. This
act opens up the question of animal in
telligence to a wide scope and shows there
is some ground. at least, to believe that
the monkey is not entirely brainless.
"Who Was to Blame?'' delightful
little comedy skit by Elsie Williams and
company, is portrayal of the first spat
that disturbs the sweet dreams of a pair
of newlyweds. 1t is so decidedly human
and thoroughly genuine that 1t makes
an immediate hit with the audience, the
awkward situations presented being spe-
cially enjoyable
Donovan and Lee in their original COM
edy, Doing WE'LL Thank YOU" intro
duce some exceedingly entertaining stuff.
Mr.. Donovan is the prince of Irish char
acter delineators. while Miss Lee is her
own charming self. Delsle and Vernon
present an unusual act of character songs
In which are introduced many clever cos
tune changes. The remaining. act is
Lorraine and Cameron, singing, dancing
and comedy Scots. who put into their act
much of the drollery of the Harry Lauder
type.
The really pretentious act of the offer
ipgs of the second half of the week Is
that of the Royal Hawaiians. with Pau
line Thurston in THE Garden of Aloha z
a dramatic Hawaiian dance and panto-
mime.
A striking scenic effect is the setting
for this pretty act, which is built around
the love affair of a princess intertwined
with an abundance of rhythmic Hawai-
ian music. George Jones and Harry Syl-
vester have a good vehicle in their COM
edy skit 1.-THE Huckster and the Ham, >
which gives them plenty of scope for their
excellent voices. Fred and Lydia Wea-

of daredevil aerial stunts. George Rose

Arabs Think Him q Wonder

Paul w. Harrison is missionary
pioneer in Arabia. and in his short
time in that country has already added
a Christian page to the Thousand and

Magazine tells about his wonders and
says:
Doctor, we hear that you cut open
your own arm to save the life of a lit
tie idiot Arab boy. Is that true?'
Eyes nodded the doctor.
"'Will you show US the place.? they
urged.
80 he barred his arm and they could
see the long red scar there. The Arabs
looked it in wonder and amaze
ment. Then one of them-he was tho
finest of the lot, one of the ruling fam
lily, exclaimed
"'You could fill this whole room full
of silver. and I wouldn't do that for
anybody"

For instance. crocodiles In the Nile

also on the pieces Of food that cling
