PRINCETON CLUB
 TO OFFER MUSICAL COMEDY AT LYRIC

Birmingham amusement seekers will be interested to learn that the Triangle club, Princeton's under graduate dramatic organization. will visit this city for one performance. December 26, at the Lyric. The club is offering another of it's musical comedies which in the past have elicited remar able praies from the dramatic critics of New York. Chicago and many other cities. Indeed, De- Wolf Hopper said of 'Espanola," last years production, Tt Is the finest amateur show I have ever seen, and is, in my opinion, better than many Broadway musical comedies
 The plot of this years offering is a closely guarded secret. It can be said. however, that the play deals with the adventures of an American gob on Mars.
 Menka. Master Mind of Mars causes many amusing complications
 The scene of the play was laid on the warlike planet In order to allow nnderg raduate imagination free play, The sets have been constructed in the ultra-modern expressionistic style of Appia and Rheinhardt, which has as it's essence the simplificatIon and ex- aggeration of the essential in any sit- uation. The phycholCgic spot. the transparent drop and the newest creation in Tight painting" together with orchestra color-toning, are used throughout the play.

THREE CHANGES IF PROGRAM AT ROYAL DURING THE WEEK

In "Smilin' Jim" the current photo play at the Royal theatre this week the star of this western comedy drama, Franklyn Farnum. is called upon to essay two distinct characters. As Smilin' Jim, the westerner, he enters the town of Ridgeville to es cape the sheriff of the neighboring county, who has implicated him in a crime of which he is innocent. As Frank Harmon, an eastern oil expert. he portrays the part of Smilin' Jims brother, seeking Jim in Ridgeville to tell him that he has been cleared of all complicity in the crime.
 The difficulties of p9rtraying two different roles and types in the same photoplay can hardly be described and MT Farnum's long stage and screen experience stood him in good stead, the quality of the production being the best testimonial of his ex- cellent ability.
 In addition to this. Wednesday and Thursday Mae Marsh is starred in Polly of the Circus" and Friday and Saturday super western. High Stakes is offered.
