"WH|RL OF GIRLS" AT L0EWpS LAST
 HALF OF WEEK
Montague Love in ''Venge- ance,' Starring With Bar- bara Castleton and Madge
 Evans-Four Other Acts

When Loews bill changes entirely
 Thursday, for the last half of the week,
 there will be one of the greatest acts
 when The Whirl of Girls" is presented
 as the headliner. In this company there
 are eight beautiful maidens in potpour-
 ri of gaiety, songs and dances. There are
 four other big Loew standard acts that are declared exceptionally good.
 The Great Halkings will be offered as
 mystery comedy sensation, and is ex-
 peeted to create intense interest, and to
 those who are fond of stfadowgraph work
 it will prove one of the best numbers on the programme.
 Pisano and Bingham in At the Bar ber's Pole,'' it is confidently predicted, wilt convulse their auditors, as this is ar act where a very slim and funny little Italian is clever in a role that is full of comedy and snappy lines, and his partner is an American girl with plenty os avoirdupois, and equally as clever with her lines.
 Fiske and Fallon offer an act entitled Words and Music" and they sing and cut clever capers in a manner that is hilariously funny. shannon and Annis, in "A Shine Flirtation, are billed as one of the best acts seen here recently. Montague Love, the famous and popu- lar star of World pictures, has unique and intensely interesting role in the new World Picture, Vengeance. He appears as an Indian swami in a portion of this picture and his makeup in this role is one of the most effective in which he has ever been seen.
 Barbara Castleton, a new star in World pictures, is co-starred with Mr. Love in this picture and she is seen in the strik- ing role of Elsie, Lady Drillingcourt. | Dear little Madge Evans also appears l in Vengeance and she is seen as Nan, an Eurasian slave girl.
 A number of other famous and popu- l lar film stars are in the cast of Ven geance' and add distinction to the man. ner in which this pictureplay is acted. | The entire bill changes every Thurs day and Monday, and each half week s | bill offers five big Loew acts of vaude- vile and ten reels of first run motion pictureS.

 LAST HALF OF WEEK
Britt Wood, Birmingham Favorite, Is Also on the Bill as Well as "The
 Littlejohns''

One of vaudeville's most pretentious programmes will be offered at the Lyric theatre today, tomorrow and Sat urday. beginning with today's matinee Pretty Baby" one of the big musical comedy offerings of the season will be the extraordinary attraction, while Britt Wood, famous rube comedian, will be a big feature of the entertainment.
 The Littlejohns in dazzling diamond act. wisplaying over one-half million jewels, will also be presented. and the Lyric screen telegrams will show up to the minute news events in picture.
 One of the biggest and most costly organizations in musical comedy is Elmer Coudy and Jean Tynes' 1918 ad- dition of their last season success, Pretty Baby," that will come to the Lyric today
 This exceptional show offers a be- wildering array of lively entertain ment, screaming farce, titillating musical travesty and scores of l iterpsichorean revelries upon really ihigh grace scale
 Tynes and Coudy, whose personality has endeared them to vast clientele of the musical comedy state, head their own big company. Their brilliant style | of comedy has been copied by many inn l itators, but few can be claimed as their equal Elmer Coudy is a comedian III
 a class by himself, recent criticism
 in the Philadelphia Ledger said that he
 was Frank Tinney, Lew Fields, a Bert Williams. Tynes and Coudy are lsupplied by well known artists, the lhandsomest and best trained chorus in musical comedy, and a company of more than 20 talented artists.
 l Britt Wood is a Birmingham favor lite and one of vaudeylles most attrac- Itive entertainers. Wood is one of the brightest youthful players the stage lhas produced and as "the boob" keeps the audience in a continuous uproar of laughter. This young entertainer is also la harmonica virtuoso and has made the street corner variety of mouth or gan high toned musical instrument. l The Littlejohns present most re- markable exhibition of jugglery, club lswinging and balancing. The para phanalia used by these entertainers is
 studded with jawels and over half
 million jewels are displayed. They call
 their offering "A dazzling diamond act"
 The new programme at the Lyric is of unusual excellence and capacity au- diences will no doubt enjoy the high
 class attactions offered.

His address was delivered in forceful, yet simple man. ner that could be easily understood and appreciated by all who heard him.

Why do Freemasons lay corner stones? be asked. and answered that Freema- sorry was established 90 years ago in England and rive years later for the frs. time they laid the corner stone of a building in the Church of St Martin in London, and on down from that date corner stones have been laid by Free mas sons in England. Scotland Ireland and America; that the first corner stone laid in America by the order was that of the capitol at Washington. in 1iss. and 5S years later the corner stone or the extension of the capitol These, he said were the most important services of the kind performed by the Masonic order in America.
 George Washington, then President or the United States, conducted the serv- ices at the first corner stone laying, and President Willard Fillmore, in 1851. the second. Freemasonry stands for equal ity, fraternity and protnerhood and ac. scepts into it's order members of all creeds who believe in and accept God. who believe in equality of soul and freq. dom of man.

GRAND COMMANDER MOORE


 plenty, joy and gladness, and peace, were placed upon the box.
 GRAND COMMANDER MOORE Past Grand Master Lawrence H. Lee of Montgomery, introducing Sovereign Grand Commander George Fleming Moore of Washington. said if the true story ot the world is ever written it will be the history of love and fraternity against force, of equality, fraternity and brother hood against autocracy. Autocracy chai- lenged the free countries of the worli, contending that ideals do not pay, Ee said, and if autocracy wins, then lib erty, fraternity and brotherhood, the guiding principles of Masonry for POO years, will be lost. They have made Belgium a shambles France is bleeding on her frontiers, England is fighting tor her life and America has thrown the weight of her men and wealth into the balance. We must win, he declared but we must pay the price.
 Sovereign Commander Moore said the ties that bind him to Alabama his na- tive state. will never be broken; that in his heart beats a love for the state that can never die. He told of his first visit to the place that is now Birming- ham, of the hundreds of lots for sale, of the hotel, the approach to which was over an embankment' of mud, with 12- inch plank as the walk over which ne had to pass, and contrasted the embryo town of that day with the hustling, thriving city ot a quarter of a million people of today, with it's towering office buildings, magnificent hotels, splend'1 streets. the hundredS of busy industries and the great building the government is new erecting, and said her great growth
 and prosperity was just beginning. This building, he said, in it's spelndor will be an edifce in which the United States will do justice between man ana man in north Alabama, and house the many United States officials in Birming- . ham, ard he predicted that it would stand in its grandeur until replaced by a larger one worthy of the great metrop- nlis of the snut hea st in the to come
