THE LOTTERY MAN"
 AT THE STRAND

He put himself up as a prize in lottery and then had to go and fall in love. Im- agine his predicament, but better go and see it at the Strand, where Wallace Reid as the newspaper man who offered him. self as the prize is drawing gales of laughter from the crowds in his newest comedy success "The Lottery Man" a Paramount-Artcraft production.
 MT. Reid is one of the most versatile actors on the screen today, and he adds to it 8 most pleasing personality and good looks All of his talent is used to advan- tage in The Lottery Man. where he is cast as the reporter on a small town newspaper. The reporter and his paper both need money, so when he proposes a lottery in which he is to be the prize, the paper accepts the scheme eagerly.
 Tickets meet with a ready sale and ev- erything is moving smoothly until the re- porter has to lose his head and fall in love with the belle of the town. But she refuses to have anything to do with a man so mercenary as to put himself up as prize, so he can make money
 He immediately starts out to call off the lottery, but it is too late. Too many tick cts have been sold. Then he tries to buy up all of the tickets but his money runs out and the lottery is drawn on schedule time He is won by the old maid of the town, and his finally successful efforts

BIG RECEPTION GIVEN
 NEW BILL AT LOEW'S

hearty reception was given the va rious acts on the new bill at Loew' s Bijou for the last half of the week which is the best evidence that the pro- gramme arranged by Manager Wilson gave much pleasure to the three large audiences yesterday.
 Jean Leighton's minstrel revue is the headliner and is an aggregation of sing CTS and dancers of the highest order There are five blackface performers, who, with Miss Leighton, the only white spot in the aggregation, offer the first part of minstrel show, with the usual end mems gags and singing and danc- ing members. The act went big at all performances.
 Hal Langton and Tom Smith, couple of breezy entertainers, made a hit with new song hits and original comedy Their material is good and they put it over with pep that makes their offer ing really enjoyable.
 Some clever dancing is introduced in the offering of Dawson and Covert and their act proved altogether pleasing Sidney Broughton and Grace Turner, in comedy skit, Just Landed" were fair. The audience didn't warm up a lit tie bit to their dialogue, but Broughton got a good hand for his excellent rendi- tion of several favorite Irish ballads. Violet and Charles proved a very ac- ceptable opening act, performing some clever feats on the flying rings, inter spersed with comedy.

preciative crowds for the first time at the Colonial Thursday Mir Keenan is recognized as one of the greatest ar lists on the screen in serious charac- terization, and in "The Master Man" he has a role that calls on his art to the fullest.
 He is cast as the attorney general of his state and the boss of the ruling po- litical machine. In an attempt to get some discriminating papers form the gov ernor, his political enemy, the governor is killed and the attorney general is able to lay the blame on a state senator through the peculiar circumstances sur rounding the murder.
 But he uses his influence to release the senator, wanting something to hold over his head. But the senator balks at certain legislation the attorney general desires and the latter has him arrested charged with the killing of the gover- nor. During the senator's trial evidence is brought out duplicating the attorney general, who withdraws to a sanatarium with nervous breakdown, and shortly after reports are sent out that he has died.
 Instead, he has started life anew, dis guised. Then a new influence enters his life, he falls in love. His love is put to the supreme test when the girl of his affections is brought to trial for mur- der He is the only one who can save her. but it means the loss of his own safety. What he does brings the story to a satisfying conclusion.

cipals. it might be interpolated that one of the best jokes of, the whole show was in the following from this act:
 What did the United States get out of the war;"
 'Cooties, Flu and Prohibition
 The act is well staged, has some really good lines and bits of chatter and was literally encored.
 Third on the bill, Nat s. Jerome offers Our Children" with a carefully selected company of artists in which the Jews and the Irish are delightfully."- intermingled, and it is a long time since a Birmingham audience has had the privilege of seeing a character actress of the ability of Miss Josie Sisson. The whole act is good, but the work of Miss Sisson and Nat S Jerome stand out as par excellence.
 The Murray sisters offer a delightful melange of song and with good voices and the stage ability to please these young ladIes would get a glad hand any where, and one of the offerings to the effect that a lady lob color objected to the stand taken by her negro husband after his return from France, and in the song she informs him that the war may be over over there but it is just started over here.
 Nellie and Earnest Neronicia have a new act in the line of tumbling and mat aero battles that is refreshingly new and extremely well staged. Also in passing it may he remarked that the female half of the act has a beautiful voice that the audience would have been glad to have heard more of.
 All in all it is the kind of a show that will please one and all and everyone who can should make it point to see it.

 The biggest noise in pictures here right now is William G. MeAdoo.
 Remember McAdoo? Did you buy a Liberty Bond or patronize railroad dur ing the recent war period? Same MT. Mc- Adoo! Not changed a bit. He continues for the Big Four-Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and David Wark Griffith--Mr. MeAdoo is up to his somewhat prominent Adams s apple Tn the motion picture game.
 MT. McAdoo arrived in the capital of the movie early last week. He has taken part in several conferences with his Blg Four associates and fellow hish-salarleo officials; inspected. with Fairbanks. prop ertv nea- santa Barbara which they own Jointly and are planning to cut up into building sites for the high and mighty snagnates of Wall street, and delivered a speech ol two favoring the adoption or the league of nations plan.
 Mir NcAdoo seems to like his job. He holds forth in the private office of Doug las Fairbanks. He enjoys the studio scenery and, apparently, does not pay much attention to the pretty actresses who in brilliant costumes and screen makeup occasionally pass athwart ms vision. But one can never tell oy loohlhs at Mir NfcAdoo just what thoughts ace pc ing rerrninated in that part of his body local ted above his shoulders. MT. Me Adoo has the face of a successful poker player Unless all signs fail he must De an expert in the art of raking in pots and in taking care of the kitty.
 As the official spokesman of the Big Four Mir. McAdoo is set in his deterinlna- ton not to say anything for publication until the conference comes to close.
 The plans of Douglas Fairbanks, or course, are being discussed. Like Mary PfckfoTd. he is determined to do some thing really worth while. He also is plan ming an invasion of European countries along the lines of Mary Pickford has had in contemplation for months. He, too, senses the universal fan desire for better and more instructive and entertaining pic tures. The battlefields and ruins of Eu- rope will undoubtedly be the locale of one or more Fairbanks pictures in the not very distant future.

LYRICS NEW BILL
 IS ONE OF BEST

The new bin at the Lyric, which opened yesterday afternoon at the matinee, IS one of the best bills that has been seen here on tie Keith circuit for sometime.
 After the pictures the University Trio opened the bill and this was the act that first caused the audience to sit up and take notice, and it is no trouble at all to tell one and all that if they miss the present bill at the Lyric they are missing one of the best shows of the season.
 The University Trio is composed of three mon with voices far and away above the average and their numbers, whether solo or ensemble, are extremely well seeieted and equally well rendered. The act is distinctly good.
 They are followed by Angar and Parker, the eccentric comedy couple, and before praising the act itself as well as the prin-

Here are a few tpeppygrams" from Lew Cody's think mill:
 Women are like market duotatons- always changing.
 Man is creature of impulse, woman Ia victim of moods. Of both is love made man darns his socks before mar riage. thereafter he darns marriage.
 If the first kiss makes her weep. the second will console her.
 Most women are in love with love and being loved, not with the men who love them.

 DAZZLING

In southern California, where only the bank clerks doubt that the stars eat Treasure Island salad every Saturday noon, folks feel that the movies are go- ing to step out and do something daz- zling. No one seems to know just what the new departure will be, but everyone is sure that the world in general is go- ing to demand something radically new in the way of entertainment. The enter tainment of the hour must make folks forget the war cure the red yellow and near-beer perils and sooth the national nerves. There is going to be high, wide and handsome change in the nov ies and it will start on the Pacific coast.

 And no picture and no play can go farther than that. No play can please or interest anyone more than to make them feel that they are part of the pie tured events; that they occupy box calmly and interestedly, and perhaps excitedly while others were doing and daring in their lust for gold

 He came home to his wife and baby happy and ambitious to better his con- dition so that they might want for nothing But an undercurrent of talk promulgated by the reds caught hold of him and he fell into their clutches Disaster was the resultJ He abused the wife he had worshipped and smirched his own soul. But suddenly something happened-something that made him see the light and he was saved.

THE GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, July 29.-Nervousness over labor conditions and race riots had depressing effect today on the corn market. Prices closed weak, B to bc net, with September $1965s and December SHE'S to $17115 Oats lost Bc to 1Hc. In provisions the out come varied from 35c decline to 25c advance.
 It was through severe breaks in the value of hogs that the influence of strikes and riots became most directly a factor in the corn trade. Labor shortage at the stock yards had been rendered so acute by complete stop ping of surface cars and elevated trains and by the clashes between ne groes and whites that packing houses were unable to handle anywhere near the normal amount of livestock. With hog prices therefore dropping in some cases, $1 hundred weight, a setback of corn values was very certain.
 Heavy arrivals of new oats added decidedly to the weakness of the oats market.
 Provisions were for the most part on the down grade with hogs. Shorts bought lard and ribs, but otherwise the market was almost dead.
