Blackface comedians never fail to make a big hit in Birmingham, and Comfort and King, two clever black sace artists on the programme at the Lyric for the first bart of the week, are no exception to the rule. 1t is one of the best acts of it.. kind ever seen in Birmingham. The skit is called "Coontown Diversions" and it has often been referred 10 as a blackfaoe classic and certainly accomplishes it's purpose in producing the laughs jueg- ing from the chuckies of the audi .nce at the first show last night.
 Helen Trix and her clever little sis ter. well known musical comedy stars. occupied the second spot on the bill. They offer one of the niftiest song ane dance acts seen in Birmingham in some time. and the audience applaud ed long and loud to get them to come back and sing just o..e more song.

"The Toll Gate, With ". s. Hart. Perfect Western Picture
BY ANNE JORDAN

William s. Hart might well bat him. self on the back and congratulate him self on his masterpiece "The Toll Gate" because it is really q perfect western picture It is elaborate in de- tail, with none of that catering to the public sympathy that makes most western pictures end all untrue tos life; it is the lonely life of a bandit. told as 1t actually might happen, and leav- ing it as it undoubtedly is best. The Toll Gate will remain at the strand theatre all the week
 "Rlack Deering," the chief of a band of outlaws. is the character played by Mir Hart and here is the story of the play as he would tell it.
 When the law got too hot on our trau l told the boys wed better lay low for awhile, and then scatter. But they had their minds made up for one more big deal.

PUBLIC SUPPORT
 IS RESPONSIBLE
Success of Offerings Sponsored By Music Study Club Due to
 Citizens

Birmingham's appreciation of fine music and the way the general public has stood back of the Music Study Club is a source of much qualification, says Mrs. w. l. Grubb.
 But for this general support of the several efforts that have been made to bring to the city the leading ex- ponents of music little could have been done.
 At each appearance in the city of a star vocalist or instrumentalist the place selected for the recitation has been crowded, men and women from all walks of life present, all glad of the opportunity to hear tho best.
 Those who have taken the initia- tive in the effort to secure for Bir- mingham the best the country has to offer in auditory artistry frankly say that the great success that has been realized this season is due solely to the appreciation shown by the citizens at large, that no individual person or organization has made the success possible, but the citizens themselves who have backed each offering spon- sored by the Music Study Club.
 At each presentation, so far. of the offerings of the Scotti Grand Opera Company, capacity houses have been in order, the success due entirely to the pleasure the citizens draw from the opportunityAto hear the celebrities.

BILL AT LOEW'S BIJOU
 SNAPPY AND VARIED

That variety is the spice of life and the life of any vaudeville programme is exemplified at Loew's Bjou for the first half of the week Every act on the bill is different, but each is the kind of high-class vaudeville that has graced the stage of this popular play house for some months past
 The headliners on the bill are the Maxine dancers. They are real artists in their line and present variety of dancing specialties, including the whirlwind, classical the Russian bal let and the jazziest of jazz dances.
 Tracey and Moore. well known song writers, run the headliners a close race for first honors. They are the writers of number of popular songs, including Nanny O Mine" and Won derful Pal" They both possess pleas ing voices and made big hit with the audience
 The Perrinnis, clever couple are expert novelty equilibrists. and some of their serial stunts were really thrilling.
 Hugh Johnston, talkative tricks ter, carries a clever line. both of talk and tricks. He did numb Der of tricks, including the taking of a dollar bill from the inside of an egg. His act was short, but well received
 The delightful comedy episode "The Reporter with Blair and Crystal, closed the vaudeville bill. The witty lines of the couple and the unusual scenes in the skit, when the act came to a finish. left the audience calling for more.
 William Russell, in Leave It to Me" was an extra good photcplay, and de- lighted the large crowd that packed the theatre last night. A Century comedy and the International news reel closed the bill.

YOU WOULDN'T TRY 1. ID TAME A WILDCAT Mir. Dodson Warns Against Use of Treacherous, Danger
 ous Calomel

Caiomer salivates, It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on slug Gish liver When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious. headachy, constf- rated and all knocked out. just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for a few cents. which is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- ing you sick. you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides. it may salivate you. while if you take Dodsons Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great. full of ambition and ready for work or play It's harmless. pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.-Adv.

The action is fast and snappy and it holds and centers the interest all the way through.

"SiLk Husbands and Calico
 Wives" Feature at Alcazu1
By ANNE JORDAN

House Peters, with an excellent support, including Mary Alden, Mill dred Reardon, Eva Novak, Vincent Serrano and Sam Southern, has a fit ting role for his return to the screen after an absence of a few years. In Silk Husbands and Calico Wives" now showing at the Alcazar, MT. Peters plays the part of a small town lawyer. Deane Kendall, who marries the court house stenographer, and goes to the city to make fortune.
 Deane Kendall with his forceful personality and his alert mentality, rises quickly to the top, and becomes in time one of the lions of the social set. Unlike most moving pictures, the husband is still in love with his wife, even when he is ashamed of her be- cause she likes to butter about the kitchen and loves her home and can't seem to mix well with the fashionab ble women She is just a calico wife and he has become a silk husband. In most movies that would be enough to part them but in this story of real life it only estranges them a bit
 Then comes the butterfly girl. Geor- gia Wilson, with time hanging heavily on her hands. and the need of a new love affair required to stimulate her jaded nerves. Georgia cultivates the wife, hoping to oust her, and frames swears to,>destroy himself if she will not love him. She finds out too late of his intent and is only in time to see him throw himself into the lake of mysterious stories, which is said to be enchanted The American boy p1unges into the lake and tries to save him, but in vain. The father of the boy, seeking revenge upon the girl, is about to kill her when maddened by sorrow he imagines he hears his son speak from the lake. saying it was not her fault. At last the girl marries the man who had loved her all her life and who had followed her to Switzer- land.

For the Good of
 the Community

N the month of March the output of No. blast furnace of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company at Ensley was 18,890 tons of basic pig iron.
 This was at the rate of 609 tons per diem. There are very few furnaces in the east capable of reproducing that record. It IS far and away the high record of Alabama furnaces.
 The Ensley furnace division has six stacks. Five were active in March. Their output was TO- tons of iron: 14.1O2 tons per month per stack, 454 tons per diem per stack
 The March output of iron in Alabama was 204, ,882 tons. There were 24 active stacks. The production per stack was 8,537 tons for the month, 275 per diem
 In an almanac for 1900 prepared for a local publication by the writer, it is re- corded:
 There are twenty-six iron furnaces in the Birmingham district with an average daily output of 175 tons each''
 In this tWenty-siX was listed Mary Pratt, which was located on First avenue beyond the Weatherly viaduct and had a daily capacity of around 75 tons. Like other efforts of the pioneer iron masters. this little affair became soon antedated and went to the scrap heap with other monuments of unrewarded courage.
 Little Williamson down on Fourteenth street, another tribute to prophetic vision N followed Mary Pratt to the same long sleep.
 This increase in furnace capacity which, in actual production, is at least 100 per cent over that of two decades ago, is not the outcome of mere supefior practice with the same machinery, but the result of many successive overhaulings, improve ments, enlargements and moderniza- tons, each of which was installed by rein vestment of earnings to that end or, in m any instances, borrowing money
 
 The five Ensley furnaces in 1900 were credited with daily capacity of 200 tons per diem each. Subsequent to acquisition of the F. c. l. properties by the U. s. Steel Corporation in 1907 sixth stack was built. Year after year these six iron mak- CTS were taken in hand and given progress slve treatment From 200 tons per diem to 454 per diem is not an accident. It is exact science applied generously to de- velopment whose predicate was expendi- ture of the money necessary to final economy and success of iron manufac- ture.
 No. Ensley blast furnace at Ensley made a record in March 200 per cent above that of any Ensley stack in 1900. The ores were the same, the coal the same the limestone, the other raw ma terial, the same. The increase is reflex of the broadened treatment of these raw materials, whose outstanding feature has been replacement of earnings in their larger and more efficient development.

Texas Delegates Must
Oppose "Wet" Democrats

DALLAS, May 2S.-Delegates from
Texas to the democratic national
convention at San Francisco will go
uufnstructed, but are directed to vote
as a unit on all questions coming be-
fore that convention, in a platform
adopted late last night by the state
democratic convention.
The delegates also were instructed
by the platform to vote as unit
against any platform plank or candi-
date favoring the sale Of beer and
light wines.
The platform adopted condemns the
failure of the Senate promptly to
ratify the treaty with the league of
nations unimpaired" as Colossal
crime against civilization" and
charges that extravagant investiEa-
tions resulting from criticism by the
republican majority in Congress re-
vealed nothing beyond the inca
pacity of republican politicians to
cope with the gravest problems"
Sixteen delegates at large to the
national convention were elected,
each with one-half of a vote.
The convention was virtually
unanimous in it's support Of the ma
tional administration, while the name
Of William G. McAdoo was cheered
at its every mention by various
speakers.
Thomas B. Love Of Dallas was re-
elected by acclamation as national
democratic committeeman from Texas.
