ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

AS proof positive that local theatre
goers are highly pleased with the enter
tainment this week, one only has to OBJ
serve the crowds that are flocking to the
theatre nightly.
Every night capacity audiences are
present and it has been necessary to turn
many away, who. however, return the
next performance In time to secure seats.
The bill is an unusually entertaining
one. When it comes to getting the glad
hand the palm must be awarded Hufford
and Chain, who do nonsensical act in a
nonsensical way.
The Five Musical Girls are proving a
treat and the same can be said of the
Five Gymnastic girls who are especially
clever. Bogert and Nelson please in a
blackface act and Archie Onri has been
declared one of the cleverest entertainers
seen for long while.

CHAMBER TO MAKE
INDUSTRIAL SURVEY
OF SMALL PLANTS
Campaign to Show Small Manufacture
ers Advantages of Birmingham Dis
trict as to Production and
Distribution

The Chamber of Commerce is actively
engaged in making an industrial survey
of all manufacturing plants which would
thrive in this community and are not at
present in Birmingham.
A list of the various lines of small
industries that Birmingham could offer
unusual advantages to is being made up.
Correspondence will be exchanged by the
Chamber of Commerce and firms
throughout the United States who are
contemplating the building of factories
in the south.
1t has been pointed out that the lack of
small industries has been serious handi-
cap to Birmingham in the past. Through
the active cooperation of the Chamber
of Commerce and other civic organiza-
tons of this city, it is hoped that this
condition may be overcome.
Hundreds of lines of manufacturing
may be carried on in Birmingham to a
great advantage to the manufacturer.
Although Birmingham Is the center of the
iron and steel industry in the south, there
are few small plants who manufacture
the finish product from iron and steel.
The aim of the campaign will be to
show the small manufacturer why he
should consider Birmingham as the ideal
point of distribution and production.
