The old, old story of the prodigal son is filled with longing and pathos of suf- fering and sadness.
 But how different is the story of "The Prodigal Father" There isn't a serious situation in it; there isn't Q note of sad ness; there isn't anything that isn't bulit for laughing purposes only. It is keen, clever and snappy from rise to fall or curtain and should prove one of the most popular vaudeville attractions to appear in Birmingham in months.
 This will be the offering of Lew Welch and company at Loew's Bijou theatre TOT the opening bill of the week. MT. Welch is said to be finished Hebrew character artist and the sketch, which was Wrlt- ten by Joseph L. Browning, is reported lo be filled with clever lines.
