Tommy Got Sore. by Gosh.

What we need in Washington is
somebody smart enough TO discover
a boundary line between proper and
improper dancing.
When Tommy McL>ane got married
he agreed to allow his wife, Ethel
to keep on dancing just the same.
He didn't do any of IL himself, but
he loved Ethel. so that he didn't
feel like depriving her Of her favor
lite indoor sport
The other night he took her to a
dance. He wallhowered while she
two-stepped with numerous male &C
quaintances.
Wifey got hold OF one real honest
to-goodness dancer. And the steps
those two did. according to Tommy,
would make Salome turn over in her
grave.
Instead of going over to Ethel and
obJecting quietly like a gentleman
ought to do, Tommy grabbed her by
the hair and smacked her.
Wifey's partner beat il outdoors as
fast as he could. 1t was no disgrace
to him to run when he was scared
The court jumped all over Tommy $
collar-button for taking Ethel to
task the way he did. There were
other ways OF handling her case, he
was told.

BILL AT LOEW'S ONE
 OF BEST EVER

Without a doubt one of the best bills of the season is the offering at Loews s Bijou for the last half of the week, and every number was given an en- thusiastic reception by the large audi ences at all performances yesterday.
 Two of the acts are worthy of head lines on any bill, and the others are of sufficient merit to make them thor oughly enjoyable. The five musical MacLarens are one of the big features and close the bill As an evidence of the excellence of their performance, they held the audience until the cur taia fell on their closing number. All are talented musicians and their mum bers are well selected and varied.
 Comedy. mirth and melody are good combination and the Royal Four make the most of it. Each member of this capable quartet has good voice and the "rube" comedy is not overdone From the applause stan1- point this act made the hit of the bill and had to respond 10 several encores

LYRIC BILL RECEIVED
 ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION

The audience at the Lyric yesterday afternoon was certainly pleased over the interesting bill that is being shown the last half of the week and the applause was continuous.
 Hadji Gamboli and company gave one of the most novel acts that has been presented in Birmingham f1i some time. It was called Tne Haunted House. and presents one of the most mysteriously performed se ries of stunts in study of black and white. From out of nowhere appear things that were not there to start, sheets fly round the air, skeletons are taken from the atmosphere. It is some act, and one that made quite a hit
 Wilson and Larson. Tn Bits of odd ities.' do lots of funny dancing. sing a song and carry on clever bit of dialogue. They proved quite popular with the most critical of all audiences, the first performance.
 Daddy Bowlegs," a comedy sait with two people in 1t, offers delightful entertainment Harry Linton, from his window sees the girl next door, Anita Lawrence. They decide to go on the stage and rehearse their act. Mr. Linton plays the piano and Miss Law renee does a peach of Spanish dance, then they drift into jazz, and it is some jazz dance that wins the whole house.
 What is a cabaret?" asks Clara West in "The Cafe Lonesome." Harry Laughlin, who has just dropped in on her table. answers. 'Its a second class cafe where they charge first-class prices for third class meal This IS some of the humor thatt floats all through the scene. And there is some awful1y good singing thrown in to make an A-No. 1 vaudeville act.
 McCrae and Clegg, in "The Intruder and the Queen of the Wheel" certainly know how to handle a cycle. The human fly wouldn't have thing on this couple if he confined his energies to cycling They do all sorts of aero batic stunts while riding a bicycle and there is no hurried leaving the theatre for this last act

W ARREN KERRIGAN AT THE RIALTO

When a mans a millionaire, arrested for trying to rob girl of her car. and he had just finished saving this same car from the real robbers, he can af- ford to laugh at the father of the girl when he tries to convert him. Such a dilemma happens to Warren Kerrigan in The Joyous Liar
 The girls father thinks he is a very dangerous criminal. He doesn't care rap what papa thinks, so long as Lillian Walker, as the girl, thinks he's nice. So he lies his way right on into her family, and wins her for his own.
 Lillian Walker flashes her dimples, and you begin to think, Gee, how I've missed that girl" She is at her best in this picture, being shown at the Rialto theatre today and Saturday. And Warren Kerrigan looks like he really enjoys all of the scraps that he gets into as well as the huge joke he is playing on the girls father It is good picture, with lots of action. and lovely scenery.
