magnetism. The other roles were in
capable hands. The Waller company

so popular. The show is patterned aft
er Ziegfeld's Follies and has all of the
originality and go that has distinguish
ed the former. This is without ques-
ton the most pretentious undertaking
by Mr.. Voolfolk since his Introduction
of the famed Sunny Side of Broad
way" A pleasing feature of the
Junior Follies' is that the entire cast
is composed of children. The Juvenile
performers are not the usual kid ac-
tors" but show exceptional talent, and
present an entertainment that is decid-
eddy unique. The production is tab
loid musical comedy with plenty of
spice, but the fun is all clean and
wholesome and without sting
There is pretty story running
through the piece, dealing with little
orphan Annie, finding her millionaire
father, Annie is loved by Jimmie
the tough boy of the neighborhood, and
like all true fiction heroines, she clngs
to the lad in spite of her riches. All
of the various types of beloved school
days are shown, including Percy, the
sissy; Amy, the rich little girl, who
won't have anything to do with the
poor trash and all of the rest When
Annie is informed of her good fortune
she takes all of her playmates to the
city with her and the rest of the action
deals with their experiences in the
city. The company is taken to the the
atre and here is furnished an opportu-
nifty for The Dance of the Cities and
other pleasing vaudeville stunts. FIT
teen specialties are introduced and all
of them are of high standard, espe-
cially the work of Olivette Haines, who
brings gales of laughter by her singing
and dancing; Harry Norton, who has
a sweet soprano voice; Ruby Willing,
who does clog stunt that is a gem,
and Babes Wilson and kaplan, who, de-
spite their tender years, perform like
stars. The production is embelished
with special scenery, the music is en-
chanting, the costumes are rich and the
entire show is one of which Manager
Blanchard can be exceedingly proud.

the artists of New York City because

Miss Snow would not find time for
the motion pictures at all, and would
only be seen in oils and pastels. How
ever, before leaving for Savannah to

Snow sat for a miniature for an artist

 keepers by Mrs. Betty Lyles Wilson when she conducted The Age-Herald Cooking school here few weeks ago, Mrs M. P. Seals said in discussing the art of cake-making and icing yester- day. Certainly the most modern idea was exploited by her The flat decor ations in icing which formerly obtained are now quite passee and the ultra artistic is the raised, or elevated, icing. Flowers, vines designs of all kinds are shown and decorative icing has been reduced to a fine art which requires patience as well as skill to accomplish Mrs Seals, who is one of Birming- hams best housekeepers noted for her delicious cooking and the beautiful cakes she makes, had just shown a handsome wedding cake which she had made and on which she had used the new design in icing which Mrs Wilson taught when she was here.
 r. The cake stands several inches high and is a beautiful white cake-regular brides cake. The decorations are in lilies of the valley and bride roses, the entire thing being in white of course On the cake is used a dainty little basket of white icing, and this is filled with clusters of leaves roses and valley lilies, artistically carried out in icing. A large bow of tulle tied at the base of the handsome cake carries out the design that is usually supposed to in- dicate wedding affairs.
 Ut took me five days to make the wedding cake-the first elaborate one like this l have attempted Mrs. Seals said. There are so many tiny little leaves and flowers and the fringed bor der is so delicate that l had to spend hours and hours over every leaf and flower.
