AT THE LYRIC


 popular conception. "Bluebeard' S Eighth Wife adapted from the French, is naughty in spots, risuue at times and bordering upon the vul- gar in some of it's lines The Lyric resident company presented the al legged cure for rough husbands for the first of nine performances this week Monday night.
 It seems unfortunate that the com pany really enjoyable in earlier of terings of the summer season, should be forced into "Blueheard's Eighth Wife" Suggestion was the basic theme of at least two of the four acts.
 Dismissing most of the play, consid- erable pleasure Is found in discussing the work of the principals. Hazel Corinne, though not a reincarnation of Ina Claire, gave an accurate pie ture of what a husband tanning wife should be. She was at her best in the bedroom denouement, which isn't denouement at all.
 James Blaine, new leading man made his first appearance and fitted the role of the cOcksure business man neatly. He will please in Birming- ham. Mr. McFarlane could not have been as adaptable to the part, with all due justice. He, by the way, has been called home by illness of his father.
 Sherold Page deserves commenda tion for his ability to play the role of one unable to weather the storm of frequent draughts. His perform ance in the third act, where he is supposed to be drunk in the boudoiI of Monna (Miss Corinne), was excel lent. It is hard to see where it could be improved upon appreciably.
 Raymond Bramley as the Marquis de Briac again demonstrated that he is a versatile and finished actor. He vas enjoyable.
 Hazel Reading again gives a fresh performance as Lucienne, Monna' sister, who doesn't like the idea of marrying merely for money. A. s Byron is still an amusing comedian this time in the role of Armand Kay a detective who is in turn detected Edith Speare pleases as the woman who expected to be the ninth wife and Franklin George is an excellent butler.
 Theatre goers will be pleased at the performance which Is really creditable. As to whether the busi- ness of the play itself will please, that depends upon the individual taste.-H. W. s.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEM,s RIJOU

A vaudeville bill that can truly be classed as the best bill here since the summer season began is on tap at Loew's Bijou theatre for the first half of the week. The bill is com posed of acts that could easily serve as headliners The Georgia Serenad- CTS, Jazz orchestra, composed of eight handsome youthful musicians, headlines the bill.
 Ricardo and Ashford, offering diff ficult performances on the trapeze and rope, open the bill.
 As quick change artist, Miss Lil- liant Calvert is 100 per cent She changes her costume between each song and she sings in plain sight of the audience.
 Ed and May Tenny present an act that IS something new in the art of Ventrlloquism and with the aid of several children volunteers from the audience keeps things going at a fast pace during the 15 minutes .hey occupy the stage.
 With an act of pure nonsense in- terspersed with occasional songs Mo her and Gilbert conquered the Biiou audience Monday They win more laughs than any other act seen hero recently.
 something new under the sun ir the way of jazz orchestras is offered by the Georgia Serenaders, and judg ing from the applause they earned Monday they are destined to put IT many extra encores during their Bir. mingham engagement. The special combination of instruments and the various novelties introduced serve tc make this orchestra one of the most entertaining ever seen here They attack each piece with a vim and Vigor and keep the audience literally crying for more. Their rendition ot the Farewell Blues" was especially good.
