AT THE LYRIC

Opening with a song and dance act by two chic actresses and closing with an amazing presentation of hoop juggling. the bill at the Lyric for the first half of this week is a most pleasing one without a single exception.
 Pretty girls, light comedy and ex- cellent dancing are responsible for the big hit scored by the feature act of the bill. presented under the title of "Daffy Jill' by the vaudeville star, May Fully. Miss Fully is as- sisted in her act by corps of well trained actors, among them being the Bunkham sisters whose interpreta- tions of the latest dance creations were decided features of the bill
 Coming next in point of popularity is the famous vaudeville favorite. Ed Norton, with choice collection of comedy songs of his own compost tion. Norton scored distinctive hit and was called back for three en- cores, finally retiring from the stage for lack of songs and music.
 A miniature juvenile revue of songs and dances, as presented by the Grey sisters, was well received by the audience and was deserving of the applause given them. Lyons and Yoco, who have a music and song act. featured by the classical and jazz music rendered on the aeolian harp, were good, their act being aided considerably by their "wop" dialogue.
 Clifford and Grey in their fast hoop juggling act staged some novel feats, new and difficult to perform.
 The Shadowland production fea- tured on the bill is one of the few cinema attraction to appear locally presented by Berg-Kahlert, and is well worth seeing.-J. H. T.

 I,oew,s Biiou has one of the best balanced bills of the season to pre- sent to it's patrons during the last half of the week, with plenty or songs, dancing, music and novelties. Edmunds and Lavelle presented black face act which is one of the best seen on any stage in Birming- ham lately. They have new line of chatter, distinctly individual, ana the male member of the team Is natural comedian who keeps the en- tire audience laughing throughout the entire act with his wit
 A. Horlick and company, a trio of very clever dancers, was de- parture from the regular run Of dancing acts and they introduced many new novelties and interpreta- tive dancing numbers. Being well costumed and artistically staged, their numbers were received with applause, despite the fact that they had the closing act.
 Bieknell, clay modeler, received generous amount of applause from the crowded house, from his models of prominent men and carlcatures. He put his act over in style diff ferent from the general run.

other day there was a girl with a black taffeta dress-aII black-as smart as could be. No color 3D. pcared anywhere until 1t came to her head, Then there was a red DeauvilIe kerchief in a gI1tenins head and tied in ! knot with loose ends at one side. Only little tufts of her black hair showed over her cars and the bandanpa arrangement was the shiningest thing in all the room.
 A girl dressed for the opera was all Tn white and silver and then over he, bobbed head. there was arranged a network of silver threads all knotted together, with large spases left be-. tween the knots. It was attached to slim little band of rubber that holds tightly about the forehead and over the ears. And on one side, fall ing over the left shoulder. there wa. a streaming bunch of gray Paradise feathers that were as siivery in. tone as the silver threads themselves.
 Then there are the bands of bril- liants that clasp over the forehead and around the hair. There are strings of golden and coIored roses all mixed in together and banded about the head, to be worn with black evening dresses or with those in white or neutral colorings- There is a jeweled banding, with square of shiny orange blossoms arranged over one side of the head. This fig worn with a mauve chiffon gown that scorns apy trimming except edg- ings of beads on the flouncings- crystal beads that carry out the glis- tening quality of the orange blos- some on the head fixing.
 Sometimes one sees a band of bro caded ribbon sparkling away like so many jewels. Then there are bands of brilliant embroidery and ties of bright colored ribbons. And one young thing, wEo wore brilliant red gown, had band of black velvet ribbon tied around her head with an other band of black velvet tied around her left wrist

Head Dress Essential With Dancing
 Frocks

Your hair can be plain Your dress Rn be plain. You can be without Jewels or ornaments of any sort, Your expression can be simplicity in the last degree. But you must wear a head ornament.
 Now this is an established fact Of the newer fashions. It can be a band that scarcely shows, or 1t can be chou of some sort of trimming at the side, or 1t can be bow, or 1t can be a cap that covers the whole of the head, or 1t can be any other thing, but 1t must in some way constitute a decoration related to the way in which you as an individual fix your hair, and 1t must carry out the scheme of the decorative quality or the design or the color of your gown.
 At first the American girl was just a little wary about dressing up her head, for so long she had believed that it was right and proper that she leave the glory of her own hair un- adorned But then she became fas- cinated by degrees with the fashion and she began to see that the time had come for her to step in line and see to the decoration of her head.
 Then, and only then. she discovered a fact whitehall along had been hid den from her. She learned that the bandeau, whatever its construction or quality, was doing much to keep her straying locks fin place and that instead of wearing a net which al last would mash her hair to an un recognizable stage, she could depend upon this new style of ornam menta- ton to keep the hair in place. This was thrilling truth. She fell for the fashion, and fell hard. And now it is hard to find an up-to-date American girl at anything approach ing a party without her headdress of some sort or other, without that banding which manages to keep her hair well arranged.
