1.jLET MERSEREAU
 IN PICTURE PLAY
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU
Al-Star Bill of Vaudeville Included in Programme Nude Truth Girl a
 Special Feature

Interest in the coming attractions for this week at Loew's Bijou theatre Is greater than has been registered since the opening of the now popular amusement institution. Marcus Loew has more than kept the promises he ! made in his introdutory statement IS weeks ago, and Hugh Cardoza, who looks after interest of the magnate here simply smiles when he gets the everlasting question, How do they do it?"
 As an example of making good, it was just about four weeks ago that pretty Violet Mersereau visited Bir- mingham. Everybody remembers that Loew's Bijou the three days, will re- call that Miss Mersereau showed few feet of a picture she was at work on, and that had been sent here for her to inspect. She let the people see that little bit of "The Little Terror" and told them that just as soon as it was completed she would personally plead that the feature be sent here. "The Lit tie Terror" will be the picture feature for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is a story of the elevation of circus girl to a position of wealth and prom thence that riches bring. It is full of that brand of Mersereau comedy that is so well liked and there are some thrills too.
 The vaudeville part of the show is \ of unusual worth The Nude Truth Girl, { one of those mysterious dancers, will be special feature. The young lady is not at all hard to look at and she is decidedly clever as a dancing artist. Her work has been approved by some of the most exclusive societies The extra feature on the bill will be the Stroud trio, with the greatest of all Juvenile artists, dainty Miss Violet This little miss is a wonderful musician and capable mimic. With her adult assistants she presents an act that is headliner, and the fact that she is alive to everything for the good of Uncle Sam and has letter from Sec retary McAdoo commenting her for her work. is evidence that she is of real consequence. Sullivan and Mason, as clever omedians as Broadway ever af- forded, are on vacation seeing the south and spreading happiness. Cherry and Malone, the comedy bar actors, will offer a comedy act, and Loew's Current Events will show everything worth
 
 past 10 days.
 For Thursday, Friday and Saturday, there is bill that promises to be as clever as any that has been brought to "Birmingham's busy theatre" Roat- tino and Shelley will present Rosa, the Fruit Vender," the act that was the suject of an editorial in one the east ern papers recently. Grace Linden, q decidedly pretty and talented com T edienne, will offer series of the new l est song hits, and Curley and Welsh, clever comedians, are scheduled to win laughs. The Aerial Bartletts, in a X sensational mid-air act, will have a lot to do with the attendance. Carlyle Blackwell, assisted by June Elvidge, Muriel Ostriche and Johnny Hines will be the star of the last half of the week in pictures. Youth" is the title of the new hit and it goes with all speed of youth. Loews Weekly News ' will give pictures of things of inter- est and the new comedy reels will make grins come where grins have been missing. The entertainment is from 2 to II o'clock and at summer prices 5, 10 and 15 cents.
