At.the Lyric

One of the most enjoyable and really
entertaining bills seen at the Lyric the
atre in sometime pleased capacity au-
diences at all performances yesterday.
Every act on the programme is we'll
above the average and Manager Semon
should be commended for offering such
a well-balanced entertainment.
The Schoolmaster." featured by Hen
dirk and Belle Isle, is comedy act,
sparkling with catchy musical numb ers.
The jokes are good and the antics Of
Belle Isle as Patsy, the incorrigible. kept
the audience in a continual uproar. Other
members of the act also acquit them
selves well.
La France and Kennedy, character
blackface comedians, are perhaps the best
in their line seen in sometime. The act
is farce on the boxing game and is
intensely interesting and active from the
start.
Trovato, the humorst violinst, proved
to be master with the bow, His
popular and classic selections are most
pleasing.
Hazel Moran offers a novelty in lariat
throwing and handling the lasso. Red
dington and Grant, in Bounce Inn,
are clever comedians and talented ath-
letes.
The Pathe news pictures, showing pic
lures Of General Pershing and his men
in France as well as other topics of
interest, carry a thrill Of patriotism. 1t
might also be said that even the pic
lures are better than usual, rounding out
real nifty bill.

MANY CASES TRIED
IN SPECIAL SESSION
!. OF CRIMINAL COURT
Five Circuit Judges Dispose
of Big Docket of Jail
and City Appealed
Cases

The five judges who have been pre-
siding in the criminal division of the
circuit court this week, completed their
labors yesterday and the special court
was adjourned and the Jurors were dis
missed. The jurists setting on this spe-
cial session were Judge w. e. Fort,
Judge H. P. Heflin, Judge C. w. Fergu-
son, Judge John C. Pugh and Judge C.
B. Smith.
The docket completed yesterday was
composed entirely of preferred cases
in the county jail, and cases appealed
from the city recorders court. Only
appealed cases were heard yesterday.
The reason for holding this docket was
to clear the jail of such cases that have
accumulated during the summer before
the regular fall term begins.
On October s. week of capital cases
will be heard, and 20 cases are already
docketed Two murder cases We're
heard this week, that of Johnsie john
son and that of Addie Lee Taylor. both
colored. Johnsie Johnson was acquitted
and Addie Lee Taylor was found guilty
Of manslaughter and sentenced to one
year and 10 days and costs at hard la
Dor for the county.
| The courts have been in session since
Monday. About 20 convictions have
been found and large number of cases
dismissed and passed. The regular fall
term of the courts begins on October
1, and the courts will probably remain
idle until then. If it is found necessary,
however, another criminal week will
be held.
| The grand jury adjourned Monday
until August 13. when 1t will take up
the regular docket. About rs cases are
| set to be investigated, and the Jury
will remain in session indefinitely. The
reports of officers will be examined,
and final adjournment will probably
La Ike r1aca late in September.
