AWAKENING OF TOYS' TOPS BILL Al LYRIC

Fun that is lifted from the mediocre and placed in the tip-tilted class will be found in ''The Awakening of Toys a mirthful creation in the hands of Dewitt, Burns and Terrence, featuring the Lyric for the first half of the week. The scene depicts that section of a toy shop occupied by a French doll, Jack-in-the box and a wooden soldier. It is Christ mas Eve, and as the clock strikes mid- night three seemingly lifeless figures become animated and sport about the stage in a combination of pretty aero- batic dancing and series of novel poses.
 Going into the remainder of the bill, one finds a wide variety. Patricola, eThe Scntillating Melodist,p using both her voice and violin, presents an espe- cially interesting number. Sherwin Kelly, in "A Novelty Surprise.' offers all the title her skit implies. She sings from bicycle.
 Hamilton and Butcher will be heard in "A Topical Song Revue" They are de- scribed as harmony girls, comedy girls and comedy girls. Their act is neat lively and melodius. Blackface comedy will be offered by Harry Van Foosen, of whom this has been said: 'He Is as near like Frank Tinney as it is possible for anyone to be- 1 For the screen, what the management declares is one fthe best pictures the

THE DRAMA
Irish Drama and Poetry to Be Interpreted by
 Mrs Beecher-Stage News.
By ANNE GOLDEN wILKERsoN

The announcement that Mrs. Leon ard Beecher will read in Birmingham at the Southern club on the evening of St. Patrick's day Is of greatest in
 terest. She will read modern Irish poetry, and drama, which offer per haps the freshest material and treat ment to be found in contemporary lit
 erature. Ireland is sometimes called
 the mother of modern literature, be- cause in the early Christian era, from the fifth to the eighth centuries, out side of Greece Ireland Was the sole Representative of classical culture. or
 late years, there has been movement, an Irish literary renaissance, which began in the attempt to recover the
 buried literature of Ireland, and is now developing into a mnny-sided in- depreciation of the Irish spirit.
 Irish people have long been misrep> resented by the coarse caricatures with which we are all familiar on the stage and superficial fiction. A hod- carrier with an old pipe in his mouth does not stand for the typcal Irishman, and yet how often he is pictured thus! The Irish literature interprets and
 elevates Ireland. It is showing to 3

Seasons Best Offerings at the Local Theatres
DUNBAR REVIVAL
 OF THE M|KADO"

Ralph Dunbar, the Chicagoan who revives operas, puts them on perfectly, no matter what the cost and then counts his earnings by the thousands, is past master for detail He per- sonally supervises the designing of all costumes, the arrangement and building of the scenery, works out the best light effects and conducts rehear- sals from early morning until late at night.
 His latest production-the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, "The Mi- kado." will be the attraction at the Jefferson for two days starting Mon day. March 2, and it is quite possible that the producer will be here in per son, He won't stand at the front door of the theatre immediately clad in dress clothes. Should you seek him, the chances are that he would be found helping the property men or playlng the cello in the augmented orchestra
 Quite recently the attraction played the Grand opera house in Clnclnna . and Manager John Havlin, long a warm personal friend of MT. Dunbar, looked through the front of the house for him without avail. Then he went to the stage but Dunbar was not vis- ible.
 s'Where is that good looking boss of yours?" he asked of Ed Andrews, the veteran opera singer who has the role of ''Koko.'
 "Our cello player is sick tonight and Dunbar is down in the orchestra pit playing the instrument" came th' reply.
 Dunbar is what might be called au ~all around" man. He can act and he can sing; he can build properties ana design costumes and is q mighty good scene painter And furthermore, he IS the best judge of vocal talent in the United States today.

Since last he was here, Alexander has added to his repertoire of magic several new and baffling illusions, the ultimate syllables in specifications, and there is additional along the lines of lighter legerdenain that will suf- flee to satisfy those who are not deep ly interested in the more serious phases embodied in his psychic experi- ments and other tests of kindred nature.
 Lillian Marion and the Nartell twins, Alexander's attractive opponents of the esoteric theosophy of motion, will introduce a series of new Oriental dance novelties from their extensive repertoire.

MADE QUEER HIDING PLACE
Sleeping Appurtenance Proved Effec-
tive In ConceaIing Elongated In
dividual in Ladys Bedroom.

Lord Rossmore, who has Just died
in England, was a great sportsman
and hunter, and had many good stories,
not only of the hunting field, but of
life in many other places. One of
these concerned his friend, Bay Mid
dleton, whom he describes as one Of
the best riders to hounds that ever
lived. and runs as follows:
"Bay once bet lady that he could
hide so effectually in her bedroom
that she could never discover him.
She hunted high and low, but never
a trace of the hidden one could she
see.
1.-THE lady was completely at her
wits end, and at last, when she had
literally gone all over the room inch
by inch, she was startled out Of her
seven senses by hearing Bays voice
exclaiming: 'Hullol can see YOU"
This was a puzzler and no mistake,
but the mystery was at last solved, for
Middleton, who was long and thin, had
got inside the bOlster!"
