LEW CODY AT ALCAZAR IN PROFESSIONALLY YOURS"

Lew Cody could not have been pettel cast than he is in Occasionally Yours now showing at the Alcazar. The princl- pal character of the story, Bruce sands, is shown as a habitual love maker and lady killer. Pictures innumerable adorn Bruces apartments and Occasionally Bruce finds himself in the proper humor for each of the originals in order of thelr occurrence to his, busily engaged self.
 Ir other words Bruce is a confirmed and hopeless batchelor of the 'occas- ionally yours type. That Lew Cody Is SO adaptabe to the role is found in the fact that MT. Cody to all appearances is in reality what the character of Bruce Sands calls for,

SHE LOVED AND SHE LIED,"
 NORMA TALMADGE-TRI

Most people call themselves well pleased. and rightly so, when a pie ture like Norma Talmadges picture. .She Loved aud She Lied at the Trianon is shown. For cleverness of plot and interesting action of the simple romantic variety this Trianon offer ing would be hard to excel So far as the local screen is concerned. Norma Talmadge has never been seen in quite the role that she is taking in this pro- auction.
 MisseTalmadge does some very arts- tic work as the girl who decides she wants to marry a young man, who has rescued her from a burning dwelling and then goes about to do so Few girls would have conjured up the idea of dressing as the old lady with the cane and appearing to the young man as a benefactor. Lismore. enacted by Conway Tearle is in very embarrass- ing financial condition and allows himself to arrange marriage with the old lady. Then on the side the heroine appears to him as her own pretty self in Greenwich village studio and wins his love. This calls for some real act ing and Miss Talmadge does beauti- fully. Conway Tearle is always a lit tie cold but the star is a fine offset for him and succeeds in bringing him into tle most romantic performance he has been seen so far.

FATTY ARBUCkLE
 AT THE STRAND

Some time ago Fatty Arpuckle let inc movie fans know through his new pictures that he was ready to leave the outright comedy mostly tounded on his own avoirdupois for oroader comedy fields.
 The newest Arbuckle picture, The Life of the Party" is the best thlns Fatty has done since evincing this decision From comedy. too outright' he went almost to straight drama in' "The Founders and it didn't fit. Here, however in 'The Life of the Party, the screen comedian comes forth With a perfect role from both the new ana old standpoints. This is real comedy full of exaggerated situations for laugh provokers. with fine suspense found in fast moving little political plot that warns up the interest in the comedy.
 Fatty as the newly nominated mayor running about town in a pair of romp- CTS at night with his taxi gone and his overcoat gotten by the iholdup man, IS certainly strong for comedy The situation gets tension, though, from the fact that if the nominees opponents see him he will lose million votes. The lodging of the romper-clad nomi i- nee is first rate for creating both the necessary interest and the merry laughter without which comedy is indeed a master tragedy.
 An added feature on the strand pro- gramme is a picture with monkey com edian.

ALEXANDER'S TRICKS
 ASTOUND AND MYSTIFY
 CROWDS AT JEFFERSON

The Jefferson theatre was filled last night for the opening performance of AeXanders Show of Wonders" Magi- clans come and magcans go, but Alex ander has tricks and Illusions in his repertoire that will astonish the oldest inhabitant
 The programme is characterized by novelty as well as variety. While he does some of the feats that are per- formed by most practitioners of his art. which he invests with an Oriental mysticism for the purpose of further be- musng the spectators. many of Alex ander's illusions are extraordinary Even his card tricks are more difficult than one usually sees on the stage.
 In the first part of his performance he introduced a great deal of comedy V hich kept the audience laughing, but it is safe to say that nobody was able to solve any of the mysteries presented. The spirit-controlled table was quite as puzzling as Alexanders manipula tion was apparently simple. Reproducing pictures called for on canvases placed before strong electric light was an other feat that proved interesting and harh to explain. The Indian cabinet from which "Jazbo, ghost of an Indian cobra, wrote replies to questions on a slate, and from which a young woman was produced later, was one of Alex ander's cleverest illusions This part of the performance was concluded With the levitation O. Marie" who disappears from a floating couch and returns to the stage from the orchestra floor Of the theatre
 The second part was opened with an Oriental song and fan dance. entitled
 The Spirit of Incense, which was done by Lillian Marion, The Nartell twins presented Caprice Oriental" graceful exhibition of dancing. writing telepathic tests the Trumpet of Solo mon and ouiia board manipulations fol- lowed under the direction of Alexander
 The "Simla Seance" afforded another illustration Of .AleXander's versa tility in bewildering an audience by answering all kinds. of questions propounded about the past. present or future
 From the beginning to the end of his performance, Alexander kept everybody guessing by his cleverness. He has keen sense of humor along with his skill as magician and succeeds in giving an entertainment that is far above the ordinary.
 Judging from the attendance and the interest shown last night, AleNander's week in Birmingham is going to estab- fish new record for attractions of this character. If he is not. as the billboards declare. "The Man Who Knows" he certainly creates that impression. Ills show is well staged and is presented on an elaborate scale.
 Alexander will be at the Jefferson all this week There will be a special ladies' matinee Thursday and another matinee Saturday.

Lyric the first of the week. This is a vaudeville offering that goes off with out a hitch. no breaks in the comedy, all jokes sure-fire and everything like clockworl<. The most inexperienced vaudeville spectator can feel and en- joy the smooth movements of the din ing car act. Most of the fun is caused by two blaek-faces working in the diner They, with stranded passenger, sing. dance and joke. A foot and wing dance proved especially popular, and eomical sob song brought the house down.
 Two young men in a well-dressed act came next to the headliner. They are very fine dancers. and know how to put the comedy in their feet. Most of their offering was funny dancing, with two very snappy songs and a few witty jokes to fill in
 The singing and dancing sisters at the first of the bill gave a turn of dancing that was gay, happy and continuous. They are both good lockers, and with pretty costumes made a few minutes pass away very happily. and were very much liked Some other acts were "Tay- Tor. Howard and Them. with some chat ter that was used mostly to bring on an exhibit of some remarkable and rare animals. and an acrobatic act of three. Pathe news and a super-screen produc- tion feature as the screen attractions.
