 SECOND HALF OF WEEK

The second half of the week holds two headline acts that are worth the price of admission by themseves. They are John and Bertha Gleaon and Fred Houlihan in a novelty scenic singing act, combined with a musical and dancing skit that is one of the best acts in vaudeville today; then there is Billy Single" Clifford and Mae Col lins in their amusing skit, "The Eng fish Chappie." which is a scream from start to finish.
 Billie Purcella and Evelyn Ramsey blow in on a classy breeze from musical comedy, and they will merit the applause of all Johnny Weisre and Cora Reiser will meet with genuine approval in their offering, 'gTan Town Follies," which is a bit unusual and very unique.
 The bill concludes with the Cromwells, a whirlwind conglomeration of juggling novelties, that will set all spectators imagination working overtime to figure out just how they do t-and then they won't know, for it is the work of real artists.
 In The Purple Lily Kitty Gordon will star as the big seven-part feature film of the last half of the week. and Muriel Ostriche will also be cast in the film. The story is a wonderful love story, the story of mountain girl who wants to see the city-and she does soor getting enough of it, as the story will unfold in rapid succession the events that transpire in her career, entirely toe fast for her imagination, even, much less her anticipation. In this film Kitty Gordon has one of the most dramatic roles of her career. .yi3e slrss -.e ,sasrv 4a

 When you plan to redecorate your house this spring. remember that a change in the color and materials used for the hanging at the doors and windows. without further altera- tions in the room. will give an entire ly different effect Inexpensive ma terials, when used properly, are just as effective as the heavier and mort expensive ones.
 The size and shape of door or window, as we'll as the room in which 1t is found. are the first things to DC considered in selecting new materials. The purposes of doors and windows to admit light and air-must not re destroyed by their decorations. For this reason, thin and transparent ma terials are most frequently used as a background. and heavier materials as draoeries at the side.
 Large double windows or group ef- fects should be treated as whole, and it Is often possible to treat , group of high windows in this mannec Extra long windows require moro thought in their draping than those of average length. but are often more effective, Shades at 2 window arc q ne cessity. and should be uniform throughout house.

 This week, beginning Monday, Mana ger Keene is going to stage a little birthday party for the many friends and patrons of Loew's in Birmingham, and it will be a continuous round of enjoy ment for all of Loews friends in the city. The first half of the weeks bill opens with a splendid photoplay in which Jewel Carmen will star. it being a real gripping, intensely interesting drama, entitled, "The Bride of Fear"
 The vaudeville bill will have as it's topliner Tom McKay's big Scotch .revue,s a bevy of Scotch lassies from the Highlands of Scotland, seven in all, set in picturesque Scotch style. This is a most enjoyable musical num- Der, and the scenery and stage set ings will be all that one could ex- pect even in bonny Scotland.
 Victor Martin and Maude Florence, in their artistic novelty, "On Ten his Court" will delight lovers of clean. classy skits, as both of these people are clever artists, and work rapidly and meritoriously.
 Walter Winchell and Rita Green will be seen in "Spooneyville," which is one of the most amusing and com ical actlets that has been seen here, it having a decided tinge of musical comedy.
 An act that breathes of the west ern plains and takes one back to na- ture. as it were, is that offered by Jack Housch and Kathryn Le Velle, entitled, Tt Happened in Arizona. This is joyful diversion of song and nonsense, staged in western settlnss and cotumes that create a reality that pleases immensely.

"BUNKER BEAN"
 STARS ]. P|CKFORD Popular Saturday Evening Post Serial Will Be Seen
 at Colonial

"I5is Majesty Bunker Bean." featur- ing Jack Pickford, will be shown at the Colonial theatre today, tomorrow and Tuesday.
 In writing His Majesty Bunker Bean, :" which first appeared in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post, Harry Leon Wilson produced one of the breeziest, most laughable stories of the times and it is safe to say that the Paramount screen version, written by Julia Craw- ford Ivers, and directed by William D. Taylor, loses nothing in the transmission. Louise Huff has been chosen as the lead ing lady and an excellent cast. including Edythe Chapman, Hart Hoxie, Jack Me Donald, Gustav Seyffertitz and others is employed As will be remembered, the story deals with the adventures of Bunker, the stenographer, who believes himself to be the reincarnated Harnesses the Great and possesses the mummy of his former self to confirm the belief. When his puppy. Napoleon, who is of an inquisitive turn of mind, however. de- cides to; investigate said mummy. Bun ker's dream collapses- He, comes to real ise at last, though. the Bible saying: "As man thinketh, so is he" and again becomes the forceful character he had been. There is a laugh in every scene and we wish to register our proph- ecy that His Majesty Bunker Bean will prove one of the best of young Pick' ford's photoplays
 Douglas Fairbanks in ''The Half breedS will be shown at this theatre Wednesday,. Thursday, Friday and Satur- day. and it is another real Fairbanks comedy, giving Douglas many opportu- mites to display his athletic talent. This picture is said to be one of MT.
