SUMMARY
ADJUSTMENTS
Lyric


 Saturday afternoon matineegoers of Birmingham will find plenty to enter tain them at the Lyric matinee this afternoon. and the usual capacity au- dience will no doubt be delighted with the programme. Helene Vincent. clever singer and possessor of most pleas ing personality, is one of the enter tainers and, to use a common express sion, she has nearly broken up the show" at all performances, so insist ent were the audiences for more songs She is delightful entertainer
 Another pleasing attraction on the bill is Bert Leslie and company, in a vehicle featured with comedy--there is laugh every minute, and Leslie has an unequaled vocabulary of laugh provoking and very expressive slang. The Royal Hawaiians present a pleas ing Hawaiian dance. song and music number and the weird melodies are highly delightful and entertaining Pete and his pals furnish much comedy, and Mills and Moulton are very en- tertaining in By Appointment" Mu- tual reel life pictures are feature.
 Loew's BijOu
 The prime funmakers on the programme at Loew's Bijou are Evans, Lloyd and Grace Whitehouse, in their nonsensical skit, .Who Are You?" Miss whitehouse is statuesque beauty with a wonderful comedy sense. and MT. Lloyd is an ac- complished funmaker of an unusual type
 Another funny act on this bill is Belle Montrose and Billy Allen. Belle Montrose is probably the cleverest eccentric com edienne in America today, one of those rare beings, a woman with sense of humor. She comes on the stage as an amateur, an extra act, and is repeatedly interrupted by fresh guy in the au- dience, who finally accepts her dare and goes up on the stage to see what he can do From start to finish the act is clean cut, original and clever.
 Thrills are furnished by the Demetri- GUS Dunham troupe of aerial marvels, who throw one another through the air with perfect disregard of life and limb. Lony Nase. q wonderful girl with re- markable baritone voice of great rich- ness and power, is another unique act on the bill. Miss Nase is a vocal phe- nomenon and quite alone in her field. She sings everything from grand opera to ragtime The Parise Duo in musi- cal comedy completes the bill.

The vigorous campaign
against the Yaquis conducted by
Gen. P. Elias Gales is having
a salutary effect, and agricul-

subjugate the Yaquis and give
peace to the country, which is
all that is needed; and his earn

results. All the power to him,
is the wish of all the people in
