 This Week Big One.
 From the reports reaching the Club" managers desk. via the grape vine telegraph" which in a contest like a political campaign, is always working overtime, this week Is cer- tainly going to bo big week with lots of the members. And especially so with some who heretofore have been rather slow. These folks, while apparetly a long time getting busy, seem to get extra busy when they do start and the way some of these late entrants and late workers are Init ing the ball" this week, means that some of the present leaders must look we'll to their laurels or they are apt to lose some of them this week.

George Maril Thursday lost his suit against the government to recover a s1o,o00 war risk insurance policy of his son, Zelic Maril, who commit ted suicide March 13. in a downtown department store, when Judge Will liam l.

 Young Maril had served in the navy, and evidence introduced by the plaintiff was that Maril was insane when discharged, which caused his policies to lapse. It was the conten- ton of the elder Maril he was en- titled to collect the insurance. The government contended tho boy was a drug addict and that his mental con dition was caused from other sources than his service in the navy.

Pounding down the home stretch. with the coveted goal in sight the members of The Age -Herald's great eight automobile race are exerting every possible effort to make this week, which is the last week of extra credits, their biggest and best wek of the entire campaign.
 They realize well that with the end of extra credits, unless they have pushed their standing away up high they are apt to be passed by their more energetic competitors, and to be passed al this stage of the race will be well nigh fatal to automobile hopes. The most gratifying angle of the race to the Club manager and which should be most gratifying to the members themselves is the fact that 1t Is still anybody's race. Not a single member of the "50,000 Club" has as yet placed them selves In Easy divided on the bill. though during the past few days there have been indications that a small majority of the senators favored the Bonner bill. Four of the senators who conferred with Senator Bonner regarding his attitude on local legislation are sup porters of the Sunday closing meas ure.
 Senator Bonner declined to discuss the conference. He expressed the opinion that nothing will result from it and that the difference will be adjusted However, he reiterated his statement made before the commit tee and declared that he did not in- tend to cast votes in the favor of measures of which he did not be- lieve were right, even though the measures be local ones. Senator Brewer gave notice during the ses- sion Thursday that he will make mo- tion to take the annexation bill off the adverse calendar. He made poll of the senate and stated that he had already been assured by almost majority that they would vote to put the bill on the calendar for pas sage.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Getting Gertie's Carter" declared | to be one of the greatest laugh pro l ducers, will be offered for only three | more performances at the Lyric. Avery Hopwood and Wilson Colli- son are the authors of Getting Ger ties Garter" and 1t is said to be one of the zippiest plays ever offered, making Up in Mabel's Room" and others of equal fame seem like fu- neral by comparison.
 Getting Gerties Garter" comes to the Lyric theatre after success in . New York, where 1t was produced at the Republic theatre by A. H. Woods with a superlative Broadway cast. For months 1t made thousands of weary New Workers chuckle, roar and scream with merriment. It is filled with the sort of situations that make audiences fairly sob with mer- rment. It Is dressed with the kind of dialogue that makes one laugh until the tears run down ones cheek, critic says.
 Birmingham will have its first op- portunity Monday to see one of the biggest comedy successes the stage | has known in years, East Is West" '" which will be presented by the resi- dent company at the Lyric With a record Of two continuous years of success on Broadway, East Is West" s heralded as one of the best offer ings at the Lyric this summer.
 This comedy, aside from it's own record, will be of further interest be- cause it will introduce the lead ing lady of the Lyric, Beatrice Maude, who was engaged by Man ager Walters on special trip to New York last week. Miss Maude is hailed as one of the coming stars among the young actresses and she has a number of impressive engage ments to her credit.
 East Is Vest is described as a delightful comedy drama, much more ! colorful and entertaining on the stage than 1t was in pictures, in spite of the fact Constance Talmadge was starred in the latter medium.
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU
 Raymond Hitchcock. international ly famous comedian, continues to draw headline honors at Loew's s Bijou theatre for the last half of the week Hitchcock has added some new chatter to the act he used the first half. of the week, and puts it over in inimitable style. A supporting bill of four standard Loew acts makes the entire bill round out into one of the most entertaining of the summ CT season.
