 '"The South of Today" are the head liners on the bill for the first half of the week at Loew's Bijou. Most Of kind of blackface act stands chance of success in Birmingham. but Mason and Gwinne are pair of artists that are way above the average. The act is one of the best of its kind, and the two clever artists responded to more than half dozen encores.
 .'The Street Urchin,' which proved to be a master violinist disguised as ragged boy of the streets, was real treat, and ran the headliners close race for the first spot. He played a number of classic and popular songs, and responded to three encores.
 Hazel Joscelyn and Percy Chapman offer a race track comedy called "The
 Touts," which proved to be something new. The act is full of catchy com edy and sparkling songs and made a big hit.
 Lawrence Brothers and Thelma oc- cupied the fourth spot on the bill. They did a lot of juggling that was really l good and pulled a number of jokes 1 that were well received by the audi | ence.

AMUSEM EN TS
COMEDY FEATURE
 OF LYRIC RIII,


 fat be true, there is not a person who made up the audience at the three shows at the Lyric yesterday who did not add to his weight by several pounds. The bill was filled with laughter provoking acts, an allstar bill not only in name but in reality.
 It would be unfair to say which was the best. Judging from the amount of applause however, Blanche Klaiss, trio" were the headliners of the show. Their act, to coin a new word was 'jazzy," a near riot from start to fin ish.
 An act of more quiet nature, but none the less enjoyable, was Through the Magic Classes playlet with four actors. A young lady, whose real trouble is the heart, for she has two suitors between which she cannot decide goes to the old oculist for some glasses. He has some through which the Wearer can see the future. She sees her life as it would be if she chose the rich man, and then has a glimpse of the poor man as her hus- band She chooses love rather than riches and loneliness.
 Bob Mullican, in Musical Comedy a Ia Carte" proved to be an entire show in one act with one character. He does everything that is done in a musical comedy. and he does it well.
 Villa and Harold Brown have a novel act Under their skillful and busy fingers. little bits of colored rags weave themselves into attractive bits of art.
 The Breakaway Barlows provide laughs and thrills galore. The team consisting of a dainty little comedi- enne and stalwart, acrobat, go through a series of stunts on revolv- ing ladder.
 The bill is completed by picture written by one of Americas most popular authors, Rex Beach, and acted by an all-star cast. The action takes place in the land of the north, where life is cheap and a good woman al most unknown.
