The act was re- warded with a fine hand.
 A musical satire set in a movie studio, '"The Sixth Reel" is fun sSit with many spots of mirthful- ness. Chiefly entertaining and most appreciated by the audience was the work done by Marion Allyn in com ical and tight fitting get up as studio stenographer. She was called upon for several encores. Myrtle Vairs best card is her atmospheric South Sea Island dance.
 The opening act. billed The Spirit of Youth" presented by Helen Kel- Ter and chums is among the best of the show. It is offered by two prettily costumed and attractive girls and a dapper young chap. The three make a trio of snap and jazz and live up to their billing in both their offering of song and dance and in personality.

ANGEL LFACE" IS
 LIVELY COMEDY
Good Music and Dancing Well Presented by Clever
 Cast

X good company, music above the average and some of the best dane- ing seen at the Jefferson this sea son, distinguish Angel Face" which began an engagement at the Jef1er- son theatre last night. If the plot is far-fetched even for a musical comedy and has been used before in some piece that does not come to mind at the moment Angel Face is a bright and entertaining show, the kind that leaves a pleasant after effect.
 Unlike most musical comedy. or ganizattons, there is more than one person in the company who can sing and more than two who can dance. In fact the principals are all good in their respective parts. the chorus is youthful and pleasing to the eye and everybody seemed to be playing with the intention of making a favorable impression. The result was a lively and sparkling performance.
 John E. Young had the principal comedy role, in which he acquitted himself most creditably. He has q pleasant manner, an agreeable smile and can sing when the opportunity affords. Marguerite Bender as Betty is one of the most engaging young women who pay periodic visits to  Birmingham. She is always delight ful and was particularly so last night. Her personal attractions, act ing ability and her singing did muen to make the performance enjoyable.
 Joe Mack, who is no stranger 10 Birmingham theatre patrons, did his eccentric dancing well and appeared at frequent intervals in a new uni form. MT. MaclS's dancing and com edv deserved the applause it received. John Reinhard as Arthur Griffin, Arthur Van Slyek as Professor Bar low, scientist who thinks he has discovered the elixir of youth and with his experiments provides some of the most amusing complications; Neil Moore as a student of entomol- ogy. William Cameron as rather oh- strererous colored servant, Ethel Martelle as Mrs. Zenobia Wise Bar tha Belmore as Vera, her eldest daughter and no chicken; Sarah McNicker as Mrs. Larkins and Nora kciis as Tessie Blythe were other principals who made the most of their opportunities. Miss Kelly is a handsome prima donna and sang well.

VARIED PROGRAM
 PRESENTED BY LOEw

Little Miss Sunshine" a miniature musical comedy with two male actors above usual merit and four sprightly chic" looking females, who are far above the usual vaudeville type of the tabloid variety, draws headline hon ors at Loew's Bijou theatre for the first half of the week George Stan ley and sister, who offer few char acter studies and songs of Dixie, are close runner-ups for the headline honors.
 zeno, Moll and Carl, in the opening position on the bill, offer several thrilling mid-air acrobatic "stunts'' which won extended applause. The two older men of the troupe did some hair-raising trapeze work while the younger memberi executed some marvlous ground work.
 Irene Trevette has a very clear voice, she starts her act with a Span ish song, but later resorts to jazz with better effect.
 Darky impersonations, southern songs and appropriate scenery are offered by George Stanley and sister. Stanley gave de1ineation of the negro preacher with excellent re- suits. Assisted by his sister he puts over good banjo songs. and was fore ed to encore last night.
 Tom McRae and company present a make believe ball game and get away with quite a few laughs. The noises produced in the throat of the land company are responsible for the success of the act.
 Pearl White in an absorbing drama Of New York, "The Broadway Pea cock" is the featured moving picture for the first half.

genius has conjured to ever enter tain humanity.
 The story of the country lout who went to Paris seeking fame and a fight and found all he sought and more, is one of Dumas best. Aside from Fairbanks as D'Artagan, all of the famous and interesting characters arc wonderfully portrayed. Those that especially stand out are the inn mortal Cardinal, the queen and tine maid in waiting portrayed by beauti- ful Marguerite De La Motte, The acting surrounded by settings of elaborate fitness are made doubly ap- pealing in their effect.

New York, May 20.-If the at
tendance at the games of the New
York American league baseball
club should increase to the figures
that prevailed during the season of
1921. now that Ruth is to become a
regular again, the Revenge Root
ers of the "Metrop" will tell the
universe that the boycott had some
weight. Also if anything of the
kind should happen the owners OF
the New York baseball club Will
become cognizant of the approx
mate loss to them financially be-
cause of Ruth's suspension.
There is no question that there
was a tacit boycott of the games of
the Yankees on the part of the fol-
lowing which has attached itself to
Ruth.
There were fans who Dragged
openly and increasingly that they
and their friends wouldn't go to
baseball until Ruth played.
Another fact is that the attend
ance of the New York American
league club at the best estimate to
be made fell off this spring at
least 33 percent over 1921, and
probably more Experienced base
ball men say that Ruth's loss has
cost the Yanks at least $150,000 If
it is demonstrated that the fans
stayed away because he wasn't
playing. If the Saturday and Sun
day holidays are blessed with good
weather-the two days on which he
makes his temperance on the
field-they will be worth at least
$50, 900 to the owners of the club,
providing the attendance comes up
to expectation. Less than half that
amount has been received for
Saturday and Sunday so far this
season, but the weather was ad
verse in addition to Ruth's being
suspended.
