JEFFERSON OPENS
 AGAIN TONIGHT

After remaining dark last night the Jefferson will open it's doors again to- night with the musical comedy success Live Laugh and Love-"
 This company is said to be one of the best musical comedies on the road and comes to the Jefferson with new cos- tunes, new songs, catchy 1ines--in oth- CT words-a complete new show just out for the winter season and like a circus in the gladstone springtime show ing its newness and brightness to all the world, and not the old shopworn stuff one runs across later in the sea- son.
 Live Laugh and Love" is said to be rather sketchy in plot as all musical comedies should be that are built to amuse and not to instruct and deas with the trials and tribulations of the mar ried couple who are individually bent on watching the sayings and doings of one another, and the "doings' lead to many amusing and augh-provoking scenes in which the comedians do good work and the audience gets many a hearty laugh.
 No expense has been spared in the production of this musical farce. The costumes are new and a delight to the eye The chorus is composed of the "best lockers" obtainable, with good singing voices and the ability to dance, and the principals in the cast are all we'll known performers with Broadway regulations and ability.
 After all to Live. Laugh and Love- is only human and as Joseph Slater says:
 T want to see the comedy with all its
 funny sights;
 I want to hear the music and see the
 gals in tights.
 l don't care what the folks may say,
 I'll have them all to know I ain't the only rube in town that likes
 to see show.

MAY CHANGE ATTITUDE
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Paris, September 11-Information oo- tained in Rumanian circles in Paris IS to the effect that the change in the gov ernment at Bucharest is likely to alter the attitude of the Rumanian delegation regarding the Austrian treaty. The dei- egation expects to receive instructions from the new government as soon as that is formed, but it does not count upon getting notification officially of the change in the cabinet before Sunday or Monday. Therefore, it will be impos- sible for it to take any steps regarding the signing of the treaty before the expl- ration Saturday of the time given.
 The indications are that the instructions for the Rumanian plenipotentiaries to sign will be immediately read and tha. the signatures will be accepted even If the time limit has expired.

 BRILLIANT AFFAIR

 The musical features were two Swear old prodigies-a boy soprano and girl pianist. and Miss Virginia Cartee, a charming blind vocal artist from Talla- dega.
 The boy singer was John Sewell Rogers from Gadsden. He was distinctly .'cute,' and little Eva Catherine Fly dinger of Birmingham played the piano with the skill and grace of woman. The prodigies made great hits. Miss Cartee received an ovation. She has singularly sweet voice and re- veals temperament and schooling. Among the pieces she sang were "The Nightingale and the Rose,' by Jack Thompson, Confession" by Clara Rogers, and "Sagnai' by Schirn. She was induced to respond to many en- cores.

 The story deals with lovable iit- tie girl, the ward of the beloved parish priest up in Canada, and her lover, and carries them through the war. but no. until many difficulties have been sur mounted, and not until the story mas run the gxmut of thrills, scenes and adventures of the most realistic type. and rot until all has ended happily.

"CHECKE FRS" WINS
 AT THE TRIANON

"Checkers" is winning at the Trianon in more ways than one This big play is not only winning the crowds with it's big scenic features and tense situations in almost every foot of film, but it is out to make a record of the biggest crowds for a weeks run of any picture shown here in long time.
 The big racing film is going big, and as James F. Sinnot says of it: There's the paddock and the betting ring,
 The crowded lawn and stands, The jockeys, owners, trainers
 And dusky stable hands; There's hoofbeat tuned to heartbeat.
 When They're off"' sounds on the
 air;
 All the romance, thrill and pathos
 Of the turf are pictured there. There's the villain who would steal or kill The jockey crook. of course; And there's the girl who saves the day By riding home Remorse. There's everything that goes to make The turf the sport of kings; A story that will not grow old Till the elephants have wings!

THE LYRIC BILL
 PLEASES BIG CROWD

Those French Girls an ordinary act What? As they would hand it to you .'vous ny etes pas" That isn't calling you any names. but is merely the French way of saying. you are "all wrong" Il Is a classy act real scintiliating big time offering by two girls of surprisins talent. Their act has class written all over 1t and between the lines as well, and they made distinct hit at the open ing performance at the Lyric yesterday afternoon.
 "My papa 0he Amoros people are French)' taught us to do everything, said Josephine Amoros. He was a Spaniard, but we always talked French at home, so we came to regard ourselves as French. Papa was performers jugsler, acrobat tumbler-everything And his father and grandfather had been the same thing before him. In Europe they train performers differently than they do here. I had my little trapeze when I was years old It was my play, my exercise and my schooling against the day when would have to earn my own living. There were seven of us ir the family and everyone of us went through the same experience. I prac- ticed on my trapeze just as kid would do his extra home work while going to school. It was the natural thing to do Neither Charlotte nor I have ever known & days idleness. Our work ironed the pains away
 And it must be true, because the work the girls are doing shows years of train ing and there is nothing too good to be said about their act.
 Elnda Tiffany is second on the bill with her songs and music, and right here let it be said that this little lady seems to grow prettier and her voice more sweet and clear every time one sees and hears her. She is distinctly clever and has voice that is beautiful in the extrem0
 Grew and Pates have splendid little sketch, the lines being catchy and new and their work good all through the act, which may be classed as little gem.
 Avery and O'Neill have backface act that is almost second to none or the stage, and Avery's voice and songs are always up-to-the minute, and O'Neilfs dacing is enough to bring down the house. Lovers of good black face work will appreciate this offering.
 Billy Hart and girls, singing comedy artists, open the show with an act tha has much sparkling comedy, some catchy new songs, some stunning costumes ant team work that makes this one of th' best acts of it's kind seen in Birming ham for some time.
 The news pictures are new and up-to date and all in all the midweek bill a the Lyric leaves nothing to be desired in the way of a-pleasing performance.

 AT THE COLONIAL

Burglars give many reasons for turning to their trade, but very few Of them ever give love as reason. Bat that is what made Wallace Reid one in his Paramount comedy success, tThe Love Burglar" which is the attraction at the Colonial theatre today. This drama furnishes MT.

The story is a cor1Ser, full of rapid action from start to finish, with real surprise as T climax. Anna Q.

In its comments along the great Broad dtstrike)way the bill board says of the actors strike: "The strike lasted thirty days and must be commented on for the general good department of the participants. The actors won and now everybody is straining nerves to get the theatres open and business as usual"
 voiced the prediction the other day mat another motion picture war might be started in a very few weeks.
 The past month has seen two remark able amalgamstions. The Famous Players Lasky Corporations has linked itself with the Charles Frohman theat- rical estate. Another combination has been formed between the Goldwyn in- terests and the theatrical firms /domi- mated by the Shuberts and Al H. Woods
 Whatever else the two amalgamat- ions may mean. IL is clear that the big producers are invading the exhibiting field with a,vengeance--that the inde- pendent exhibitor is to be eliminated as factor in the screen world--if possi- ble.
 whether or not a war will start be- tween the Famous Players-Lasky and the Goldwyn forces remains to be seen. But it certainly looks like an echo of the famous old theatrical war of a de- cade ago when the Independents domi- mated by the Shuberts. fought the sym dicate headed by Klaw and Erlanger and the Frohman factions. The fight for theatres swept across the country and, In an effort to compete in various localities. Sarah Bernhardt and others stars showed in tents
 The war waned and the motion pic ture appeared. Will the new combinat- ion continue the fight with the old m dependents banded in the fo,dvy camp and the old syndicate m arnbt-s behind the Famous Players-Lasky? !? Will the old theatrical war continue with modern five-reel poison gas, fam cor.edy tanks and cellulo Il scenic bar rsKes Anyway the old contestants are lined up again as if for the opening curtain.
