At Lnew's Biiou

Three people--a man and two women stage one of the cleverest impersonation acts at Loew's as tn hadlinr for the last half of the week ever seen in Bir- mingham. These people, billed as Chm Su Loo and company, are all Amerl- cans, but 1t would be hard to realize 1t after witnessing their offerings Their act is a spectacular magical illusion that Iieased the audience immensely
 The decided feature of the bill how ever is the Castelli duo, a pianist, and when you say pianist, you mean one who makes piano fairly talk, croon, giggle and run wild in the realm of variations and a singer of more than passing impor- tance-in fact. he has voice that wi.l fit in big company anywhere. These two boys are giving Loew patrons one of the biggest musical acts ever offered in Birmingham, and they are decidedly versatile.
 Hooper and Burkhardt offer an unusual act in At the Fox Chase" this being underlined with some bright and snappy comedy that meets with hearty recer- tion. Grace DeWinters is celebrated woman ventriloquist, and she is very clever and entertaining, working with a dummy. Her work received hearty ap- plause.
 Bell and Caron offer an acrobatic song and dance act that is deserving of spe- cial consideration. The entire bill IS smooth, clean and snappy, and the ca pacity house that greeted it seemingly enjoyed every act, and wanted more. The screen offerings in current events anu comedy were very good, indeed, ana quite amusing.
 The big feature film for the last hali of the week ia Kitty Gordon in "The h. terloper," supported by Irving cum mings, in which this great star has the most dramatic roll of her entire career and the entire photoplay is fast moving and filled with thrills.
 There will be four shows at Loew's to- morrow, the first to start at o'clock, then at 1, and o'clock, with the usual continuous performance from to Il P m. Prices include war tax

 of His Own Race, Saying
 They Had Him "Jinxed'

Montgomery, May 23.-Wil Grimes, a S1- year-old negro, is in the county jail charged with the murder of Missie Belser and Mary Lou Lee, negresses. He admits killing the Belser woman, and asserted that the women had "jinxed' him. The trio went fishing yesterday at Westcott's s lake where the usual three- -cornered squabble arose and from which the shoot ing resulted. The bodies were found this morning with gunshot wounds in the head.
 Grimes said: They can kill me they can burn me, or shoot me; I can't do nothing but die; I was born to die: if they take me out now I don't care; they had me under spell.''

Montgomery. May 23-(speciaD Standing in the boiling sun with their hands raised to heaven, $50 soldiers who were born in other countries took the oath of allegiance to the United States in a public naturalization court at Camp Sheridan Thursday.

CLEANER DAY. AT RICKWOOD TODAY Fans and Players to Bid Farewell to Young
 Twirler

The fans are planning a big ceIebra- ton at Redwood today in honor of Charles (sWhitey") GIazner, star Bar on tSirIer, who leaves tomorrow for the training camp at GrecnviIle, S. c. SWhitey,- as has been stated on nu- merous occasions before, Is really the season's find in the hurling depart ment and his loss will seriously upset BarOniaI prospects, which are none too bright at the present writing. Since joining the local team Glazner has never pitched a bad game of ball and should have had n perfect average with any sort of backing.
 It is very probable that Ellam will work young Waite Hoyt against Glazner. This 19-year-old Vol hurler has established himself as the original hard-luck guy of the circuit and has. like Glazner, lost port or lack of hitting on the part of his fellows. The Vols have a good ball team on paper, but for some reason or other are not getting away with many games. Mcconnell at second base is new man, replacing Marty Nye, whose work was so discouraging to Vol support CTS earlier in the season. Mo seems to have the stuff. Roy Ellam, Dick Kauf- man, Pete Kniseley, Howard Baker, Mike Burke and Ray OBrien have ca vorted here in lots of games before and all are pretty fair performers. Baker is new to the Vols, coming from the Peli- cans, where he held down the torrid cor ner for several seasons. O'Neil, behind the bat. is an American association man | who is alternating with Marshall in the | receiving department. Both of these boys are fairly good, but neither is l Gabby Street and the difference is not l in their favor,
 1 For the Barons, Mcdonald is still out 1 of the lineup with charley horse and
 Jansen will continue to play third. Now that Montegut has been drafted and will l leave after the game today, 1t is not
 known what Moley will do about his in- l field. Southworth may be brought in to play short until suitable man can be obtained and Red Smith sent to right l field

WAITS ID COMPLETE GOVERNMENT WORK
 AT MUSCLE SHOALS
Alabamians Are Entirely Satisfied With Man Who Is to Succeed Colonel
 Cooper
nx HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, May 23.-tSpecini)
 Senator Underwood and Representative
 Dent satisfied themselves this morning | that Major Watt, successor to Colonel 1 Cooper ax engineer in charge of the 1 construction work at Muscle Shoals.
 is the man for the job.
 | General Black, chief of engineers, held by some responsible for the with drawal (without the knowledge of Sec retary Baker) of Colonel Cooper one of the eminent engineers of the world. was obviously very anxious that the Alabamians be satisfied that his heart
 was in the Muscle Shoals development. and that he had designated man of great ability to complete the work.
 MAJ. WATTS HAS REPUTATION
 In consequence. the Alabamians in the presence of General Black, inter- viewed this morning the new man in charge, Major Watt, and left deeply impressed with his sympathy and his
 ability.
 It developed that Major Watt is not
 without reputation himself. He as- sisted in raising the Maine from the bottom or ftdVdHd naTDoT, ana was un- der General Black in the construction | of the equeduct bridge at Troy, N. Y. CHANGE STILL MYSTERY Very little light has been thrown into the mystery of the sudden with drawal of Colonel Cooper. When the engineer was recalled from France to I take charge of the Muscle Shoals work l he was enthusiastic. On arrival at l Sheffield his enthusiasm waned. II | was said that he did not wish to de- tract from the reputation he acquired
 in the construction of the Keokuk dam l by undertaking a greater project in the l completion of which he would be I hampered by red tape, and that as a result. he asked to be relieved and returned to France.
 COOPER LOST SYMPATHY l It is known. though not officially l that General Black has held out the | suggestion that Colonel Cooper having
 reached Sheffield and studied the sit- 1 uation, lost sympathy with the prof. | ect over which previously he had | evinced such great enthusiasm. | Major Watt will return to Sheffield | within the next few days and sustained | by assurance that Alabamians in Con- l gress are satisfied with him assigned | to the project, will rush it to an early 1 IAff
