ADJUSTMENTS
@Exneriencev-Jefferson


 One of the greatest successes of the theatre in recent years is Experience, George V. Hobarts modern morality comedy drama of today, which William Elliott, F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest will present at the Jefferson thea tre, beginning next Thursday, with mat inee on Saturday.
 This play is now so well established by its long runs of nine months in New York, five months in Boston, seven months in Chicago and five months In Philadelphia that eveWone has heard of it. It has been indorsed by the Cath olic clergy and strongly commended by Protestant ministers and rabbis of the Hebrew faith It tells the eternal, never dying story of Youth--the average young man of today--hls early struggles, his ventures into the great world to seek fame and fortune, his trials and tempta- tions and his triumphs over evil and wickedness through Hope and Love.
 There are 82 characters in "Experi- ence," and the play is presented in 10 impressive episodes. The people. who are called by the names of the various virtues and vices which Youth meets in the big world, are not soulless shapes, but vivid human beings according to the emotions they typify. Experience" has the throb of young love, the high pulse of adventure, intoxication and want, poverty and opulent happiness. Its scenes are big with meaning and human reality. It is story down whose tumultuous laughter runs. There are tears, too, and desperate hopes and curses, the signs of failure and the in dominitable cry of indefatigable hope.
 In the notable cast of players will be Leonard Doyle, Duncan Penwarden, Le- rr1a TI InOa fth trin ATon mi George B. Miller, Fred Mosley, Marie Sinclair, Leota Sinclair, Jennifer Sin clair, Alice Palmer Irene Palmer, Julia Cobb, Gertrude Dustin, Harold Burnett Farnum Bernard Cransy, Alex Olso and others.

At the Lyric

Birmingham theatregoers will be en- tertained by one of the best bills of the season at the Lyric this afternoon, a bill that the daily newspapers declare real vaudeville treat and exceptional entertainment.
 "The Fashion shop is the headline at traction. and it is one of the big att fractions of the season. This act is one of the most attractive acts ever seen in Birmingham. Chiyo and Chiyo entertain in graceful dancing and their act is one of the hits of the bill. Alexander and Fields, as "The Progress sive Pilgrims furnish much fun and amusement and this pair of entertain CTS keep the audience in laughter the entire time they are on the stage. Adams and Griffith, in "A Music Lesson," fur nish much amusement, and Hill, Tivoli and Hill present a variety of novel entertainment. They dance and they sing and entertain in divers other ways. Mutual Reel Life pictures are fea- ture,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-15
At T,oew's BiiOu

The bill at the Bijou for the last half of the week continues to draw the crowds in spite of the unfayorable weather.
 There is fun and entertainment from the rise of the curtain to the drop, and the audiences are made to forget all about the cold outside and the lack of coal and sugar at home for the time being at least.
 "The Hoosier Gir1,'' a bright tab Ibid musical comedy, has plenty of real merit.
 Chabot and Dixon, the piano and song specialists, continue to bring the hands and the Leightons in blackface, please the most fastdious theatre fre- quenters.
 E. J. Moore, comedy magician, and Kennedy and Nelson, circus tumblers, are just as good as any in their spe- cialties.
 The entire bill is good and so are the pictures.

Why Not Hooverjze Shoes?

The opening OF school this fall en-
phasized to many a head of a family
the increase in the price Of shoes
which is by no means confined to foot
gear OF the youngsters. This Is one
of the anomalies of war time. Since
the war began the slaughter OF cat
tie in this country and in South Amer
lea has Increased by more than 30, 600
600 head; in the United States alone
100000 more cattle have been raised
in the three years since August, 1914
than in the three years previous. Sub
marine warfare has caused the flow of
South American hides to Europe to be
diverted to American ports; and i'm
ports Of hides via the Pacific have also
increased. Yet the price Of shoes
shows no sign of coming down or @ zen
Of remaining stationary. Shoes are as
necessary as bread; and if the price of
bread can be regulated, why not the
price Of shoes?

The Weiqht Of Q Word

The tremendous effect that one small
word may have in piece OF legislation
is aptly illustrated in the bill creating
the air craft advisory board. recently
passed by the Senate. AS usual in the
organization of new bureaus this board
was given authority to rent quarters,
purchase equipment and supplies, have
printing done, etc. The committee rec
commended that the word office" be
inserted so that the phrase would read
purchase necessary Office equipment
and supplies" Some question arose as
tc the necessity of changing the word
ing of the bill, but Senator Philander
C Knox of Pennsylvania quickly ex-
planned to his colleagues that the word
office" was vital to the meaning OF
the measure. If it was left out the
beard could purchase aeroplane or
other equipment from the recent ap-
preparation of over s600,000,000 for that
purpose, which would be contrary to
the intention of Congress, while if the
word were included their purchases OF
that nature would be limited to desks,
chairs, etc The senators were quick
tc see the force of Senator Knox's
remarks. and the bill. in that parti-
cular. was passed as reported from the
committee.

From the large number OF tickets
sold a good crowd is expected at the
beneft concert given BY Tinker's
sinv.-g Orchestra at City Hail. Au-
euttl. tongiht Everybody under
stands that the concert is to raise
company funds" for Company NJ and
the Burleigh battery.
The bows az Camp Bartlett. and
elsewhere. are in need Of these funds

The boys IN the New England cam

I hundred dollars IN the company fund
TO draw upon TOR emergencies is a
4 might handy war equipment; and the
people at home" must supply il. for

] We sincerely hope that the folks"
who have sent boys, or who have seen
the sons of their neighbors go to Camp
. where or across, will be as generous
! as possible-and little bit more-in
helping to build up company funds for
the two companies recruited in this
section.
We may excuse ourselves with the
4 plant that we are being drummed and
raided from all quarters for money for
this and for that-BUT, the big fact
stands out ahead of us that these are

whether or not they wish to go. Can

the comfort OF our sons, for the help
OF our government. for the quickest

been forcibly taken from their homes
and obliged TO sleep in tents and even

not deny ourselves of usual Injuries or
OF actual comfort If necessary. if hv so
doing we may add in any measure to

j emies?
\ Today II is the company funds.
the Liberty Loan, the Hospital fund.
Tomorrow it will be these and others.

them all in the right spirit and right
