 The cripple and two others were Immediately caught, but the other two were not recaptured until they were discovered this morning hiding in a packing box in a private office. A bullet, fired to frighten them, killed one in the bottom of the box. The quintet, all of whom came from Buffalo, had been serving long terms for manslaughter and highway rob bery. Clement Pacyna was the con vict slain.
 Investigation showed that the con lvicts had sawed through the bars of their cells. Then, mounting on one another's shoulders in the corridor, they sawed through the bars protect ing the skylight. With rope made of blankets they climbed to the roof Making their way to the roof of the old executive chamber. they dropped into the outer yard. one of them breaking his leg and hip.

PAULINE FREDERICK AND
 SPECIAL ACT AT ALCAZAH

The Lure of Jade" one of the strong and dramatic productions that usually star the fascinating Pauline Frederick, and big special act make up the entertaining bill at the Alcazar for the week.
 This special act Is presented by the two Blazek twins who are grown to- gether, and Pani. a 36inch little man. The twins have an entertaining in- troduction. telling their history and explaining their lives bound together and play a duet on violins. Pani is a clever little gentleman, who proved quite amusing to the audience Mon day with his queer way of talking. A son of the grown-together twins was introduced, a fine looking youngster perfectly normal in every way. with very sweet, lovabIe expression.
 Pauline Frederick has one of her best stories in "The Lure of Jade" which gives her possibly the most dramatic role she has ever had. The enactment of the woman whose life is ruined by the malicious gossip of a rival and who falls into the life of the underworld, .calls for some com-- polling demonstrations of emotion. Miss Frederick's admirers know that as an emotional star she is fully equal to any call on the emotions.
 During the unraveling of the for tunes of this woman who has dropped to the life of a den in the orient come moments that are almost un- bearable in their intensity of appeal This woman is depicted as having a tremendous power to lure and control men and to win a homage which she receives with indifference. All dur ing the life in this den, which she runs herself. is she waiting for fate to place the other woman in her hands. Fate does work to this end in a gripping climax, but circumstances have taken the sweetness from re- yenge and the big love nature of the woman asserts itself instead.
 A good cast enacts this picture. which is also well produced with ori- ental settings faithful to the charm of oriental atmosphere.

SONG WRITERS ARE 4 FEATURE AT LYRIC

The lineup of acts at the Lyric for the first half of the week run a neck and neck race for the highest honors. This is one of the best balanced bills seen within the last few months. and composed of real big time vaudeville acts.
 Doherty and Dixon present as the opening act Musical Paraphrases." This Is a good number and received a deserving amount of applause.
 A skit very much put of the usual team act" in vaudeville is presented by Dorothy Manning and Lee Larry. This act has some really good lines and these actors know how to take advantage of them. However, as a wit in the audience stated, Miss Man ming could back" up any act and make it success.
 Al Garbells Little Revue" a charming vaudeville offering, is up to the Keith standard of big time acts. This revue, enacted by two chick looking choristers and Al himself, as sisted by a good pianist, Is one of the best of it's type. The songs are tune full and the dancing very graceful.
 Billie and Eddie German will long remember their stay in Birmingham at least they should. Judging from the ovation given them they have a real bevy of admirers in the Magic City, These popular song writers en- tertained very pleasingly and had to respond with several encores. They closed with singing their famous Anna in Indiana" song.
 Waldo, Meers and Waldo are com edy acrobats who are funny and are acrobatic simultaneously. This team produced several thrills and laughs as the closing act on the bill.
 Pathe News and Aesop Fables (modernized) are the picture offer ings for the first half at the Lyric.
