He comes to Birmingham with an exceptional recommendation from the various towns that he has helped to cheer.
 Fred Reynolds and Allie White add a refined offering of song and dance with an underlying comedy vein, as their entry is calculated to pry the greatest grcuch in the audience loose from a laugh. The closing act, pre- sented by Noel Lester and Company. is billed as variety surprise, and Lester's accomplishment bid fair to make the billing correct as he is not only comedian, juggler and dancer but is also a wire walker, slight of hand performer and ventriloquist Pathe News and an ever timely Aesop's Fable are the attractions on the silver sheet.

JEWELRY FOR SUMMER WEAR
Hieh-CoIored Stones Have Call for
Daytime; Pearls In First Place

Pearls are having a real place In the
sun just now! High-colored stones OF
one sort or another appear In jewelry
for daytime wear, but for evening
pearls seem to have first place. The
fancy Is for various things to match
pair of dangling earrings, hair or
nament, bracelet, and a string OF
pearls for the neck, all to be worn with
a dainty summer evening gown. Ear
rings are shown In the greatest va
riety Of styles. the very long tassels
being in high favor, as well as single.
double or triple sets of hoops.

Still Fashionable.

Both the beaded bags and the Jade
jewelry have retained their popularity
their beauty. The latest bead bags are
of the draw-string type, not the sort
with stiff frames, but the kind that
can be pulled together In little

easily from the wrist. Many of them
have Indian symbols as designs and
little fanciful beading stars or tassels
as finish.
