 Excellent vaudeville entertained Biz mingham at the Lyric Monday evening.

Walter weems, known as the southern humorist,'' made good the title and incidentally proved the big laugh getter of the pro- gramme. Weems appears in ordinary street iress and in business-like man ner starts his entertainment. He ap- parently Is as natural as he ever Is, and it is not long before the laughs begin to come. He has a way about him that makes him an immediate favorite, and he was the recipient of much applause. Weems tells someifunny stories and has a funny line of chatter which aroused the risibles of the audience.
 Little Miss Up To Date" is a refresh ing and pleasing vehicle of fun, song and mirth and dancing. Jack Kennedy takes good care of the dancing part of the programme, and Earl Miller has the burden of caring for the vocal solo work which he does very creditably. Several comedy young ladies wear pretty cos tunes and sing some songs which add to the attractiyeness of the act. Faye O'Neill plays the leading feminine role and is very attractive. Little Miss Up To Date" is very good entertainment. Two black face entertainers, Ford West and Joe Coffman, in "A Little Money Difference" prove pleasing, and have good line of chatter which called for much applause Coffman, in addition to being good comedian, is an excellent dancer.
 The bill opens with a high-cdass skate dancing act by Fl Key sisters, talented skaters and dancers. They clog, fox trot wa,tz, hesitate, and all on roller skates The act is well costumed and very entertaining. The Three Shorts excellent gymnasts, present some thrill ing gymnastic feats and received much applause. Lyric screen telegrams, show ing many scenes of the Americans in France, are pleasing feature of the performance. The bill is a good one and will prove pleasing entertainment to Bir- mingham theatregoers

 Field and Wells, two well-meaning and highly amusing entertainers, crack some pretty fair jokes, which have never been subjected to cold storage.
