cluded to postpone the play of Damon

the benefit of the jefferson county an
ti-tuberculosis association. until some
time in the early spring of next year

ADJUSTMENTS
FIELDS MINSTRELS

With the house practically sold out
for every performance and scores of
people turned away last night, it is not
surprising that AL G. Fields Ministries
will play a full week at the Jefferson
theatre when they next visit Birnfing-
ham
This popular organization has never
received a more cordial welcome A
crowd which seemed to fill every avail
able foot of room in the theatre roared
its approval of the comedians, applaud
ed the vocalists and laughed over the
comedy sketches. The show as whole
is one of the best Mr.. Field has ever
given his patrons, and he may truth
fully claim to own the worlds oldest
minstrel organization, for more than 80
years a standard amusement enterprise
1t would be impossible to find two
better comedians than Billy Beard and
''Lasses" White. Neither is any
stranger TO local audiences. AS an i'm
personator of negro character, Mr.
White realizes its comic possibilities to
the full His. voice. his makeup and
his keen sense of humor make his per-
/ Torrance intensely amusing, while Mr..
Beard has no superior as a monologist
and end man. The songs of these two,
not to overlook the familiar character
ization of "Old Black joe" by the vet
eran Johnny Healy, were among the
most enjoyable features of the show.
1t was worth the price of admission to
hear Billy Beard sing. Its Nobody 8
Business" and Mr.. White sing Sweet
Mamma" The leading vocalist, Jack
Richards, made his usual hit, while Les
lie Berry, Billy Church and others were
featured in some of the best minstrel
solos and ensembles heard here recently.
The performance is notable for va
riety in scenery, costumes and enter
| tainment. Singing and dancing special
ties, comic skits and a number of vaude
vile acts followed in rapid succession,
beginning with a prologue, ION the
Mississippi" and with the Garden of
Mirth" as the first part proper; next
the Dance of Nations" THE Fourteen
Points" with Johnny Healy presiding
at the peace table; Derby Day at
Churchill Downs" introducing 'Lasses"
White and Mr.. Healy in a burlesque
that evoked much laughter; The
Frogs Wedding" a well staged act of
contortion and dancing and Scrambled
OPERA" which was divided into several
parts, concluding with an oriental num-
Der.
Billy Boards monologue proved to be
one of the livelist he has ever had.
Mr.. Beard has the gift of infusing an
audience with his own gayety. He kept
everybody laughing with his witt
cisnas
The Field show this season is well
staged throughout and while Mr.. Field
himself is not travelling with the or
ganization, preferring to rest for a
while il reveals his expert hand in
many details. feature that should
be mentioned is the brlskness OF the
performance which moves along rapidly
and leaves no intervals for tiresome
waiting.
The present engagement will end Sat
urday night. There can be no question
of crowded houses as they are already
assured by an unusually heavy advance
sale.

Broken Blossoms" the
Picture Wonderful at the
