 THE FOURTH 0F JULY
Management of East Lake Park Has Prepared a
 Unique Entertainment

The East Lake park management has
 bration for the past two weeks and everything is now in readiness for the big event. No Fourth of July celebration is at all complete without a fireworks dis play, but Manager Brenig has gone the rest one better and will present three separate and distinct fireworks displays on the Fourth. All three displays are different from each other in character and all of them are of the best and most beautiful obtainable as they are pro- cured from the foresomst fireworks manufacturing firms in the world The first display of the day will be the beau tifui daylight fireworks. These fireworks are seldom seen as they are purely ex- hibition fireworks and very expensive The second display will be the elaborate marine display. These fireworks are shot from the middle of the lake, and present spectacle seldom seen The fi- nal display will be the climax of the East Lake park celebration. Great pains have been taken in ordering the fire works for this display and people of Bir- mingham may look upon a bigger better and more gorgeous display than has ever been seen in the city.
 The whole day will be crowded with a constant chain of events that will keep those interested who intend to make a day of it and bring their lunches. The park is extremely well equipped with ta- bles, benches and chairs and all are placed in convenient cozy hooks just suit able for picnic parties

Ancient Weather Man

Prof Dr. Heilmann, of the University of Berlin, in a recent lecture before the Astronomical Society of Germany, re- ferred to the study of weather condi- tions back to the first prOgnosticator," Claudius Ptolemeus, 150 B. C., the author of the Megale Syntaxis, better known as the Ptolemean system of astronomy. the pr edecessor of the Copernican. our pres ent-day system.
 Ptolemeus issued annual almanacs, in which he forecast the weather by moon months and seasons.
 He based his calculations on the two layers of air, the warmer and denser near the earths surface. and the colder and rarer further up: the colder descend ing from time to time on account of its greater weight Once the cold wave had descended in spiral form, the warmer air of the surface first moves toward the colder and thinner surface, on the vacuum principle. until a vacuum is thus sequent thrush of the cold air.
 This process of cooling off the surface and supplying fresh air takes place con- tnually, and the cycle usually is through it's development in three days Hence he calculated the weather on cycles of three days.
 pr. Heilmann thought that the modern weather studies have not advanced much upon the Ptolemean of 21 centries ago, and were unsatisfactory, at least in Germany. where over 60 per cent of the weather forecasts were wrong"
 The lecturer thought that now. when the fatherland was so sorely in need of money. the four millions annually spent on the .'very unsatisfactory prognosis'' ought to be converted into bread for the poor, and bullets for the enemy.

It comes to the Lyric with new and special scenery, pretty costumes and in a new dress, and numbers among it's members some high class entertain CTS.
 In addition to this musical offering Pathe pictures will feature all perform ances and these new pictures are now even more interesting than ever, owing to the Mexican situation and the mobi- lization of the American militia.
 On July 4, Tuesday, there will be a special matinee as an observance of the day and every patron present will be presented a small silk American flag as a souvenir. The spirit of the day will be very apparent at the Lyric.
 Frank Ellis, Howard Langford and Cecil Sommers are the chief entertainers and this trio are very clever and good singers. 5. CeCll SOnmerS. IS well KloWl in Birmingham and no doubt will be greeted by many friends here.
 Much attention has been given the cos tuning of the show and some of the gowns worn are very attractive and the chorus is stunningly costumed. The song numbers are feature of the production, and many hits are contained in the reper- toire.
 Tn New York; New Years Eve,' ''The Day That You Were Born,' T Brought My Yankee Heart Back Home" Model Little Girl,'' 'It Was Three O'Clock When He Met Her." and Rose of Eden,'' are some of the song num- bers.
 Another feature of "The Night Clerk" is the large number of pretty girls in the chorus who possess good voices. The chorus is well trained and is especially attractive.
 There are three performances daily at the Lyric and the theatre is one of the coolest places in the city, being cooled by iced air and electric fans.

THE ETERNAL SAPHO WITH THEDA BARA AT
 MAJESTIC THEATRE
The Vampire Woman of the Films to Be Seen in a Par ticularly Vicious Sub
 ject This Week

Theda Bara, who leapt to fame in mo- tion picture because of her utter disre- gard for highly moral roles, is featured at the Majestic theatre the first three days of this week, opening today in "The Eternal Sapho," a fve-part William Fox photoplay. In this picture Miss Bara is again picturized as a vampire of the most sordid type
 The story of The Eternal Sapho' is gripping from start to finish. Laura is rescued from the fury of a drunken father Crank Norcross) by some artists who are on a lark. They bring the child to their studio and draw lots for her pos session. she falling into the hands of H. Coudal CWarner Oland). The little wom- an becomes Coudars model and her like ness is found in a work of art which makes the sculptor famous. The work is called "Sapho.'
 Returning from a visit to the garret where her family lives, Laura is at- tackled by thugs, but Is rescued by Me- Cullough George Macquarrie), himself young "gunman." Mccullough brings the model to an old house on Fifth avenue, telling her he has a call to make. The inmates of the house, MT. and Mrs. Mall vern (Walter Lewis and Harriet Delaro), an elderly couple, return to find the in- truders, and in a scuffle the old man is shot and killed by Mccullough Laura escapes. Mccullough throws himself from window in desperate attempt to es- cape from the servants.
 Coudal is invited to a reception and oc1yn ynd fn hrf1a hi i- lAI Sapho statue. Laura at the reception meets Billy Malvern (James Cooley), and John Drummond (Einar Linden) suc- cessful young business man who lives happily with his wife (Mary Martin) and their baby girl C<ittens Reichert). Mall vern in spirit of jest tells Laura that Drummond is not married, and Laura hearing that he is wealthy sets out to in- terest him. Coudal finds them together, and denounces Laura, and he and Drum mond come to blows. Returning home, / Laura finds Coudal has broken up her statue to bits. Laura becomes Drum- monds' mistress. Malvern admits to Drummond his desire to marry Laura, and later tells Laura of his love, but she declares she will marry Drummond. Then he tells her Drummond already is mar ried.
 Laura makes Malvern bring her a dinner guest to Drummond's home She torments Drummond through the dinner, intending to expose him before his wife. But Laura becomes interested in their little daughter, and through the child's charm cannot bring herself to break up the happiness of the home.
 She then consents to marry Malvern, who brings her to his home, where his widowed mother recognizes his wife-to-be as the woman who accompanied the man who killed her husband. Laura returns to the studio to find that Coudal has killed himself and then she realizes that she has wrecked the lives of three men without bringing any happiness to herself.
