SINGING AND COMEDY
 FEATURE LOEW'S BILL

"Tuneful Tonic for Tiny Troubles" a. song and comedy act, is the headline attraction at Loew's Bijou for the last half of the week.
 Although the four other acts are good, the first one easily wins the honors. There are five principals in the act four men and girl. The four men constitute one of the best quartets that has been heard here in a long time. The young lady also sings sew era1 mum bers, too, and dances rather we'll They responded to four encores.
 Smith and Cook ran the headliners close race if the merits of the act are considered. But they have appeared so many times in Birmingham with the same act probably accounts for the lack of applause last night. There were a few who had not seen them, and they seemed to really enjoy the ex- cellent comedy chatter which the act contained.
 James Plunkett and Helen Romaine instantly won those of the audience who love good dancing. Both are ex- cellent dancers, and their offering of "The Dance of the Lamps" proved es- pecially entertaining.
 Edward Hill, eccentric cartoonist, presented an amusing drawing skit called Hattie Creations" which de- served the several encores which he re- ceived. Wits and Winters, acrobatics, closed the vaudeville offering with a series of the usual stunts, which was pleasing.
 Corinne Griffith, in 'The Broadway Bubble" is one of the best feature pie lures shown at this popular playhouse this season. Part of the picture is in colors, and all the scenes were well directed.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS IN
 MARK OF ZORO"-TRIANON

Douglas Fairbanks latest and best pie ture, "The Mark of Zoro," at the Tria-
 non is adapted from a novel, The Curse of Capriscano' Had the story been orig | inally written to bring in the particular acting of Fairbanks with the noted
 Fairbanks stunts, it could not have been more adaptable As it is, "The Mark of | Zorro" furnishes Fairbanks with won-
 derful vehicle for his leaps and bounds, coupled with story of great interest in
 romantic sense. and the stunts are by
 no means dragged in. being inseparable l from the general idea.
 | Zorro is masked individual who cham- pions the cause of the weak in the early | oppression in California. He appears be- 1 fore any who have oppressed and leaves his mark When the soldiers try to cap ture him he only makes a laughing stock
 of the whole crowd, as leaping from table l to mantel, and from mantel to ceiling hole, or more daring leaps, he makes laughing escape.

PAULINE FREDERICK IN
 MADAME X"-ALCAZAR

Strong men are visibly affected and women weep through the perform ance of Madame X'' with Pauline Frederick at the Alcazar.
 Miss Frederick gives in this picture one of the emotional portrayals for which she is famous, though this most undoubtedly far surpasses all of her other efforts along that line. The ex- perences of Madame x in the stage production of the same name are among the most widely known in the drama and need little recitation.
 Pauline Frederick, as the wreck of humanity who in earlier years had been turned from her home by an irate husband, gives one of the most realis- tic performances Only on few occa- sions has stage expression been given to such a depth of suffering as is ex- perienced by Madame X. Miss Fred erick Is conscientious enough in her enactment of the mental tortures of the character to move her audience to quite evident expressions of emotion. This emotional appeal, though. is not allowed to stand alone, the drama is intense and interesting, and the reve- lations throughout make for great sus- penSe,

GEN. BILLIARD HURT
Prominent Alabamian Struck In Eye
 By Golf Ball In New York

Gen. Robert Lee Bullsrd. commanding the department of the east, was painfullS and perhaps seriously injured when he was struck in the eye by golf ball, ac- cording to information reaching Birming- ham yesterday. The accident occurred at Fort Jay, Governors Island. The gem eral was reported to be resting easy, though in considerable pain, in the post hospital Captain Caffey. General Bull lard's aide said the general was able to see and that no apprehension was felt that the sight of the eye would be de- stroyed as the result of the injury. He said it was too early to determine whether the eye would be permanently affected
 General Bullard was playing with other officers when the accident occurred ,,Ncne of them was near him, however when his ball fell in the moat which runs around the island. He was playing at the east end of the course. Hoping to extricate the ball from it's position with a single stroke, the general tried to drive it against the wall of the moat, expecting it to rebound onto the

BILLIE BURKE AT STRAND
 IN "FRISkY MRS. JOHNSON"

There is a wealth of comedy of the interesting dramatic kind in The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" featuring Billie Burke, at the Strand through Satur- day. Miss Burke is cast as Belle Johnson, a gay and unconventional young widow, who, though never over stepping. soon acquires the reputation of friskiness or worse.
 Mrs. Johnson has a host of admir- CTS, of course rather exaggerated in the picture for the proper effect. Other women, jealous of her popularity, make up an anvil chorus" of jealous gossip. The young widow is hardly aware of the gossip until prejudice begins to take effect in. love affair and makes necessary sacrifice seem pronounced guilt.
 Burke appearance dominates the pie ture. Miss Burke as the young widow proves as lovable to her audience as masculine admirers in the picture. Gay and careless she laughs off the most apparently tragic, occurrences and comes to the top above all malice with her most winsome and charming smile Miss Burke's leading man here is Ward Crane who is an adequate actor, and has the looks of a Beau Brummel." Jane Warrington is the sister whose love affair keeps things disturbed throughout the story. Best of all to the student of human nature is the character acting of Robert Agnew as 2 worn-out man of the world at the age of IT; his performance is scream.

Say, Birmingham, How's Your Heart?

What is the matter with 1t? Tell us We have right to know We have left our daily work and gone into the streets to raise the paltry $60, 900 needed to putAa check to the ravages of tuberculosis in Jefferson County. We are trying to do our part. Are you giving as you can and as you should? Ifnot, WHAT'S THE MATTER? Is it because you do not realize the need for prompt action in this grave matter? Then let us tell you that an average of 5000 cases of tuberculosis develop in this county every year. This means that one in every sixty persons in the county is infected. Not only diseased, mind you, but carrier and a spreader of the dreaded white plague. Is it because you think lightly of tuberculosis as disease?
 Then let us tell you that 800 out of that 5000 die every year-one in every ten! Is it because you believe that the resources and facilities now in hand for coping with the disease are adequate?
 Then let us tell you that they are pitifully in- adequate only one dispensary, only one hospital with 38 beds, and only four nurses to visit the thousands of infected cases. Why, it's like trying to put out raging con- flagration with squirt gun Is it because you believe the State and County authorities ought to take this situation in hand?
 If your store or your house were on fire, would you fold your arms and say, Its up to the fire department to handle this?' Not on your life! If water were anywhere around and there was any way of getting the water on it you would gladly pay to have it on!
 Is it because you are indifferent to the call of humanity?
 Is it nothing to you that our children are be- ing swept away?
 Is it nothing to you that our young people are being blighted?
 Is it nothing to you that bread-winners are be- ing moved down left and right by this invis- ible scythe?
 Is it nothing to you that this creeping de- stroyer may come into your own home at any time and set the seal of death upon loved one?
 Say, Birmingham, how's your heart? Is it throbbing as it did in the days of the war when we were fighting a treacherous and mercileSs foe overseas?
 A foe as treacherous and as merciless is strik- ing at us today not across the waters, but face to face, and our own flesh and blood are go- ing down in the dust
 Are you going to stand back and let him slay as he will?
 We refuse to believe there is anything serious ly the matter with your heart, Birmingham. Give 1t a chance once more!
