Winifred Gilraine, Dancer
 or the Rarest Artistry

Occasionally in vaudeville "bilP' an act is interpolated which for sheer artistry ranks with the really big" things of the theatri- cal world.
 Such was the case the past week at the Lyric when Winifred Gill raine and company. assisted by Herford Hartwell and Company, presented one of the most artistic dancing acts which has been seen on the stage here for many days.
 "On With the Dance" is the title of the "act" and from the loud md enthusiastic applause accorded the dancers, it was very evident that their dancing pleased
 Winifred Gilraine is petite and pretty, very vivacious and grace ful, while her dancing partner, Herford Harwell, is equally as clever
 There is a distinct suggestion in the classical dances presented by Winifred Gilraine of the "Isadora Duncan Dancers" while the Den ishawn" dancers also use the sane graceful poses and dancing.
 In the Scotch Highlanders'' dance, Miss Gilraine was dynamic to degree; her~duick, 1.-the move ments and animated steps making

 WlEifred Gilraine has had excellen training and bit of history con- nected with her stage career goes back to couple of years ago when La Loie Fuller" the worlds greatest authority on dancing, came to the United States for dancers and among them she chose Mr. Paul Jones Chute, whom she called the most graceful male dancer she had ever seen. Mir. Chute was the first man to do classic dancing in this country. Miss Winifred Gill raine was asked to, go abroad out at that time she was a pupil at the Notre Dame Academy in Boston and her parents refused to allow her to then take up dancing as a career, but after MT. Chute re- turned to this country Miss Gill raine and he danced together at many society events, their classic work being greatly in demand
 Miss Winifred Gilraine is assisted by MT Herford Hartwell, and their dancing beauties are all Americans trained by American teachers, and show the public of the United States that the art of dancing 1s far from being dependent on for eign nations, for this act is stamped, Made in the U. S.v

"Honey Pudding" Methods to Be Replaced With Dignity
 and GraCiOuSneSS

Personal appearance and manner of approach have been the subjects most discussed during the sessions of the salesmanship classes being conducted every morning at the Civic Association under the direction of the Birmingham Board of Education
 Miss Ada Terrill, instructor in the pupils are making Iii the ethics of good salesmanship and states that the local department stores are giving her the very best material to work with.
 Not again soon will the nerves of the frazzeled out shopper be rasped by ing," or any such srupy appellation. Birmingham salespeople are learning why it is not good salesmanship and what manner of approach is best. Dig nity and graciousness, coupled with real interests in the needs and wants of the customer, are taking the place of the Honey Pudding" method which has heretofore been used in some shops.
 Reflection on the subject seems to point out that a school for shoppers would be a good thing also.
 Seventy-five saleswomen drawn from six of Birmingham's largest stores have been enrolled.
 The young women are being taught at the expense of the stores and with full pay on the store time. Birmingham de- partment stores are recognizing the value of good salesmanship among the employees of the stores to Birmingham with regard to the impression the city makes on out-of- town people.
