Under Japanese UmbreIIas

From Craftsmen of Old Japan,' by
 Elsie F. Veil in Asia" magazine
 A rainy day in Japani Mountains half disappearing in wraiths of mist like the landscapes in old kakemono scrolls; gray tiled roofs transformed to glossy black by slanting sheets of rain; coolies in bristling straw raincoats; and every where great oiled paper umbrellas. Little Japanese women trip along daintily on their wooden clogs, oblivious to the mud dy rivers under foot, totally eclipsed un- der their red, blue, green, yellow or black umbrellas. Shop apprentices and errand boys hurry along with umbrellas decorated with great black characters indicating the name of the firm or tf7Nir trade. Out in Asakusa, Tokyo's popular quarter, huge red umbrellas protect the old women who sell beans to feed the doves that dwell in the caves of the Temple of Morning Grasses. At the en- trance to every house whole row of open umbrellas are drying. No two paper umbrellas are alike in Japan-per- haps because they are all made by hand-bamboo ribs, rattan handles and the patterns stenciled or formed by diff ferent layers of colored papers. The umbrella is as necessary to the Japanese actor or dancer as his fan. In the |< prints the umbrella appears constantly as a harmonious part of the design. The geisha have umbrellas appropriate for wistaria season and cherry viewing, eor winter and summer. An umbrella may even be the theme of poetry, as it was for the Japanese poet who sang: Tn the spring rain an umbrella passes by on which petals are softly falling, falling" Yet the Japanese have been able to find something picturesque in our wire framed umbrellas of uniform black; they call them ''bat wings

At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region. you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water: also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts: take a tablespoon full in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine, This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal ac- tivity. also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is source of ir- ritation. thus ending bladder weakness.

Buck Stageland Hoo-Doo

Danger turks in the path to fame and fortune of Id-actors and fascin- ating child-actresses who captivate , blase Broadway audiences at the ten- der age of two years, is the opinion of Alexander Woollcott in Every body's.
 According to this dramatic critic there is stage tradition that fond
 stage-mo others grow worried and nerv- ous when their little ones shine too suddenly. It is a grown tradi-
 tion of the land back of the foot lights that, whereas some obscure and unnoticed miniature mummer may be- come the Bernhardt or Ellen Terry of her day. any outstandingly precocious and successful child-player is doomed to failure and eventual banishment from the boards.
 He says: What has become, of all the youngsters who have roamed aboard the pirate ship in Peter Pan ? Miss Adams herself must some time wonder, for at each revial, when the company was reassembled, it would all ways be found the last lot had out
 grown their roles. Where, for in- stance, as all the I4izas who, one each season, used magnificent to order up the curtain of that dear Barrie com edy? One of them, to be sure, has heightened out into Anna Wheaton, but what has become of the rest? Really there come to mind only three genuinely celebrated child-actors cele- brated. that is. as child d-actors-who

 Tom Mix in ''The Daredevil" a pho-
 toplay written and produced by him self, in which he is seen in newer and

 of blues "I'n Say So," presented by
 Bert LaMont with Art Harris in the leading role, is the top-liner for the first of the week. There are four people in the cast and all capable per- formers. The offering is musical comedy revue and is a splendid ve- hicle for the introduction of new song hits, classy dances and snappy comedy Another big feature is the dancing
 act of Col Diamond and granddaugh- ter. If old man Ponce de Leon merely slipped the waters from the famous spring in the region of the Sewanee
 river, surely Col. Diamond must have peeled off his clothes and took bath
 A veteran of the Civil war, Col. Dia-
 mond presents an act that is original and clever, showing the old-fashione1 ] dances and the new steps. His grand daughter is just a little miss in her teens and the way this unusual couple
 dance is joy to behold.
 Clever songs and original stories put
 over with a punch is the offering of
 Arthur Rigby, the well known min strel man. Arthur has something new in the way of a blackface turn and is
 quite favorite here.
 Bonner and Powers offer a comedy skit with songs. comedy talk and
 dances, and Montamba and Nap. agile
 envoys from funland, will present
 comedy tumbling and acrobatics. For the last of the week Adolphus and company, premier dancers from the Opera Comique, will present variety of dances including classical ballet

 Week

A Twentieth century play is the of- rering at the Majestic for the coming week by the Maddocks-Park Players. and an attraction which is widely known to this and other cities as one of the greatest moral lessons ever taught. as well as one of the best plays ever written from true facts of home life.
 "Her Unborn Child' is the play that was offered last season for one week by this company and proved to be the best of the kind ever seen in this city, turning hundreds of people away at each performance because of the linn tied capacity of the theatre.
 Tt will be even better this year" said Manager Maddocks. "as the peo- pae are better suited for the respective parts and we expect to give the patrons one of the best spoken dramas of the season at the same established prices"
 Little Mae will play the part of Nnbbs. one of the best kiddie parts she has ever had. and one that she has played many times before where the company has played this piece.

The man who never fakes, Tom Mix, star of the newest dramatic film of the west. 'sThe Daredevil.' is the photoplay feature at Loew's Bijou for the first of the week. This picture is
 Mix's own idea of what western photoplay should be. for he not only

 The story of the play is taken from simple. everyday life. touching upon delicate subject. handled in language which eliminates anything risque but holds the interest of it's hearers from the start until the final curtain. The heart story is one of the best this year, while the comedy in the parts of the three children is well worth ones time to see.
 MT. Park is taking a special interest in this production and expects to give the people of Birmingham one of the most wonderful plays ever seen at twice the price by any road attraction.
 The line of plays offered at this house continue to be just as repre- sented by the management and the patronage seems to continue each week. which is evidence of the extra good shows being given.
