KEITH VAUDEVILLE

In offering the programme for the last half of the week, the Lyric again has a bill composed of acts it declares is difficult to choose from as to head line merit. Three high calibre numbers make this so. and here they are: Billie Burkes Tango Shoes" introducing vaudevilles newest novelty with Thomas Dempsey; Alexandria" called the Mas ter King of Snycopation," and Jack Mar tin and company, in singing, dancing and Dianologues. In point of fact Tango Shoes" and Alexandria" really are out in front, with Dempseys act ranging close behind, but all three are consid- cred so meritorious the management liked the idea of Jumping them.'' Besides these numbers Bert Repard and Gwendolyn O'Goody, in When the Clouds Roll By" and the De Rock Trio, in comedy magic act, are on the pro- gramme, and, judging what reviews have said about them, they will be received warmly.
 The results would be lessened if the real nature of Tango Shoes" and Alex andria" were divulged the Lyric man. agement points out, and in announcing the programme confines itself to this about the former. Tango Shoes ars supposed to be a mechanical contrivance which, if worn by anyone, will make the man or woman an excellent dancer. Plants from the audience come upon the stage to verify this statement and the results are at time comical and at times exceedingly graceful"
 As to "Alexandria' he is called one of the monarchs who reigns because or his popularity. Syncopation is by no means limited to music and "Alexandria during the sixteen minutes of his act, which shows not only musical but verbal syncopation.
 In addition to the vaudeville pro gramme the cinema bill is comprised or Tom Moore in "The Great Accident, and Fox News Weekly and Topical News.

 There are some good swimmers among the Alabama veterans" Levy said, and there is no reason why thIs state should not come out first in the competition for Tuesday.
 All Rainbow veterans of Alabama who can swim at all are urged to get in touch with me or with E. E. Spencer at East Lake at once, as we wish to put the boys through some practice before the races"

BIRMINGHAM BOYS
 MAKING GOOD AT
 CAMP JACKSON, $. c.

Birmingham boys are making a good showing in the R. o. T. c. school at Camp Jackson, s. C., according to letters sent back home.
 The boys at the camp are divided into IA companies, each of which choose their officers weekly, in order to give each man a chance to show his qualities for leadership.

acting, is at her best in this appear ance. It is a play of a deep emotional character and gives her an opportunity for some splendid interpretations
 The plot is laid in California with an old Spanish background. It is as much Spanish in ideals as in scenic effect Marta is married against her will to Rafael, who, having lived an immoral life before his marriage, soon finds him self intangled afterward. He goes so far as to give his wife's jewels to another woman, preparatory to an elopement which they have planned for that night. The fact that they never leave, that Marta recovers her jewels and her happi- ness, and with all is freed from Rafael in very unexpected manner, makes an extremely enjoyable story for lovers or the emotional type of drama.

Sorrow in this interesting drama ot the famine sex is called the heritage of women. Most certainly it is for the Adrienne type of woman, the leading character in the play, and for all women who cannot live in a higher atmosphere than that in which Adrienne passes her daily existence and finds her satisfac- tion.

WALLY IN SICK ABED"
 AT THE STRAND

He was willing to have croup. epilepsy or the pip, but he would draw the line on softening of the brain. You see, this was an unusual case, a case where the future invalid could choose his disease from the large category of human ail- ments. Of course, you have already guessed that he was not going to be really sick at all. Just make-believe to keep out of court as the principal wit ness in the divorce case of Weems vs. Weems. Constance Weems had many inn aginary grievances, and was forewith suing for divorce, but Constance was safer married. Everybody thought so. Reggie, too, thought so So he proceeded to become very i'll, and his adventures in the sick room form one of the most delightful comedy dramas that has been shown here for some time. Wallace Reid, as Reggie, in Sick Abed,'' at the Strand all this week. is proving conclusively his ability for light comedy. and the dig nified. classical Wallace. formerly the star name of many serious dramas, is fast coming to be just "Wally,' adored wit of the screen.

region Of Missouri, and erected some
kind Of a plant to treat rebellious or
refractory ores. It was built on the
side hill east Of town. Then a plant
Of some kind was built north Of town.
None Of these plants survived very
long principally for the want Of ore
to run on. In the early days OF the
discovery Of the mines, there was
considerable ore shipped at times
from all Of the outlying camps, and
it has never occurred to me that all
of the ore has been exhausted. but
rather the quitting Of work on those

shippers. With the present high price
