ANNIVERSARY BILL.
 AT LOEW'S VERY GOOD

An exceptionally fine bill of vaude- vile Is tEe offering for the first half of the week at Loew,s Bijou theatre. Every act on the program is high class and entertaining from every point of view. In preparing a bill fittingly celebrating the fifth anni- versary of this popular vaudeville house, Manager Harry Portman has signally succeeded.
 There Is jazz band introduced In the last act. presented by Hazel Green and Beau Bummells, that is a riot within itself and keeps interest at a high pitch the entire time it occupies the stage. The singing of Miss Green was one of the biggest applause- getters on the bill.
 James and Bessie Aitken in roller skating exposition open the bill and are very good artists. MT. Aitken Is also clever contortionist.
 Carlton and Tate offer song selec- tlons that are very clever and were much enjoyed by the large audience last night
 An act built entirely on nonsense is the offering of Wilson and Larsen. This act won considerable applause and the acrobatic stunts which the pair presented proved to be regular thrillers.
 Love at Sea-" humorous sketch presented by Roberts and Boyne. was received very enthusiastically last night and won repeated encores. The actors are responsible for the suc- cess of the offering as very little plot can be found.
 Doris May. in Boy Crazy" is the featured moving picture attraction for the first half of the week.

BETTY CoMPSON AT STRAND
 "THE LAW AND THE WOMANn

"THE LAW AND THE WOMAN"
 A photoplay of unusual merit The Law and The Woman" comes to the Strand screen as a distinct treat in the best that the movie has to offer in the dramatic picture. Betty Comp. son, who plays that stellar role in the production, does some of the best work of her career, and certainly of fers her most versatile performance in a part that takes her from a quiet and loving little wife to a dashing woman of the world only out for what life has to offer in it's pleas ures.
 Though the role of Betty Compson carries her through this transforma- tion 1t does not actually come into the stor vas a real change. The wife in "The Law And The Woman" who goes into the whirl of night pleasure does 1t to save her husband, an0 therein the part becomes more drift cult. Miss Compson Is excellent Tn her presentation of the role in manner that betokens that the low ing wife still exists under the flashy surface of the made-up blonde who frequents haunts and hobnobs with woman of i'll repute.
 The Law And The Woman" Is picture of more than the usual amount of suspense. in fact there are several scenes in which the suspense reaches a breathless intensity. The making of the production has resulted in very appealing one pictorially Assisting Miss Compson are William Carlton. Casson Ferguson, and others
 very entertaining Larry Semon comedy is shown as an additional attraction to the feature.

LINTON BROTHERS REVUE
 HEADS LYRIC HILL


 If the appreciation of the audience means anything. then the bill at the Lyric for the first half of the week is one of unusual entertaining value. Linton Brothers Revue, "The Spirit of the North" made decided hit with the house, and on real merit. It Is seldom that a revue Is worthy of the name on the vaudeville stage. and this is one of the exceptions that proves the rule.
 Fred Miller and Bert Capman, Tn their novelty dancing number. Just a Little Different" lived up to their billing, and their really clever danc- ing Is a decided contribution to the bill. Noel Lester and Company also contribute an act of real entertain Ing stunts. Lester Is about the most versatile artist that has been here this season. combining in one act, wire walking. ventriloquism, jug gling and some clever magical stunts.
 Jack Little. who presents. Piano Smiles" made a place for himself In the hearts of Birmingham's music lovers at the Monday night perform ance. He is really an artist, and more. he Is az actor as we'll. His limitations are about the best things

 Fred Reynolds and Allie White present a refined musical and comedy number that proved very popular with the Monday night audience. White is a toe dancer of no mean ability, and the comedy stunts that Reynolds gets over are refreshingly new. They are good musicians, and Reynolds solo number on violin made from a coffee pot has all of the elements of comedy in 1t.
 The management has started the summer cooling system since last week, and the house is decidedly more comfortable. The usual screen attractions complete the bill.
 WILLIAM FARNUM IN ..PERJURY.
 AT THE ALCAZAR THIS WEEK
 In Perjury" showing at the Alca- gar theatre, William Farnum has a role that calls on him for a greater assertion of his power for the in- tensely dramatic style of acting than any in which he has ever been seen on a local screen. The picture while lacking the usual excitement Of ac- tion that the general Farnum picture contains. offers a dramatic power that more than makes up for the loss of action. and Farnums emotional role is more stirring in many ways than his more active performances. where he has not been called on for the same display of feeling which he of fers here.
 Perjury" presents Fornum in a drama of jealousy and self conquest It Is gripping story of a man who was possessed by his temper, and who stirred by jealousy became in- volved in circumstantial evidence that carried him behind prison walls. Here, where he was forced to suffer injustice. the sweetness of his tenn per developed and he became a changed personality.
 This photodrama teaches a lesson that is not lost upon the spectator, for the evils of idle gossip and jealousy are brought out in the con- sequences of the drama. The story is written by Ruth Comfort Mitchell, and the production Is by William
