 THE COVERED WAGON
 Wild yelps, yells, ending in a hor- rible gurgle, awakened the inhabi- 4 tants of Camp Cruze. Utah, at o'clock one Monday night and caused every wagon train attack to be staged and production, The Covered Wagon" now being presented at tLe Jefferson theatre, to cover her head ,ith blankets. Men donned slo hing rapidly and started for the Navajo camp, whence the sounds originated.
 The Navajos had arrived only the day before, hundreds strong, wild, uncivilized animals for the most part. Already the Bancocks and Arapdhoes had arrived and established their camp Lear the main ID If the com panV.
 After much difficulty and pow ! WOW at which the chiefs of the hree l tribes were present it was discovered ! that the source of the trouble ap- l parently was vague rumor that ] BSacocks and Arapahoes would use. real bullets in their suns during the i wagon trani attack to be staged and i that tpe NaVajos were to be their l targets. The latter had made up their minds to leave, but at first they had
 
 ! clrdlinG 5Vtr cry, which echoed through the night
 The rumor wss, of course, un- i founded and neace was finally re- stored. Luckily nothing happened, i beyond a gC cd scare and the Navatos 1 finding that they were not to be l harmed, became good-natured again. i The Covered Wagon will close it's l engagement at . Jefferson with final showi Saturday.
 FOR TARTAR CONCERT
 That Geraldine Farrar retains her ] hold upon the American public as 1 the most popular of concert singers i was again evidenced when the seat sale was inaugurated at Clark & Jones. 1913 Third avenue, Thursday i for the Thanksgiving concert. which i the All-Star Concerts (Mrs. Richard F. Johnston and Mrs. Orline A Ship lnan) will present Thursday evening" November 29 at the Masonic audito- rum with Glorious Geraldine" and 1 her concert company. Henry Weldon, baritone; Joseph Mall1in. cellist and Claude Gotthelf, pianist, in bril- liant program.
 From Tuscaloosa. Selma. Gadsden. Jasper Halegville, Huntsville and other points reservations have been made by music lovers for the ! T Bank sgiving concert with Farrar as | who desire choice seats will do well to at once make their reservations
 Glorious Geraldine" is singing to 1 capacity houses everywhere and the critics pronounce her voice more l beautiful and her art more consum- mate than ever before. which is the acme of praise.
 Don't be among those who will not i be able Nto secure reservations for the ] Thanksgiying concert, by putting off i getting their tickets, but go imme- diately and secure good seats.
 AT LoEw's BIJoU
 only two more days remain to theatre lovers to see the exarordi- nary offering of the Theatre Comiqke Russo a Loew's Bijou, and this Russian fantasy in three scenes with dozen artists from the Moscow theatre, Russia, will be seen for the i last time with Saturday nights per | formances.
 Another unusual offering also on this bill is Al H. Wilson, the natu- ra1 comedian who has been given A warm welcome during this week by l his Birmingham admirers, along with three other acts, including Wo1gast | and Grille in some music and thrills as well as Mabel Drew, who knows how to sing and get music out of her l baby grand and the versatile team | screen feature for the remainder of this week is "The Eagles Feather" a Metro.
 AT THE LYRIC
 Go early to the Lyric this week and get front seats where possible. The reason is simply and perfectly obvious after you have seen the show-its a mighty good one.
 Miss Teria' well might be termed | Hfg4a ts,Na it's as near perfect as any mechani- i cal device could be, provided, of i course, it is mechanical. If you 1 don't believe anything new exists in vaudeville then see Miss Teria and. like the wise man, cnange your mind.
 Now comes the only bad thing the critic is compelled out of justice to do, and that is reprimand Jay C. Flippen, 'The Ham What Am,' for being entirely too fresh. Jay came near spelling an otherwise perfect ly good act by overstepping the bounds of propriety in a couple of his songs. One could not help but note, however that Jay was certain ly doing what seemed to please at To many others apparently his sug- gestive stuff didn't set we'll. One thing certain, there were other parts of the bill more tasteful.
 One might suppose in thinking of vaudeville and it's inevitable dance numbers that nothing new exists in that line, but it certainly does in the number offered at the Lyric thIs week by Calm and Dale, the Cherrie Sisters and Jean Demar. Altogether it is one of the snappiest, most col Q orful dance and song numbers the Lyric has ever offered. A comedy number of Calm and Dale proved decided lit.
 To prove that the printed program often s misleading and that five good acts can, though they seldom do come cn Q single biu, Cleveland and Dowrey, in a satire on present day conditions, simply outdid for sheer cleverness anything similar in months. They psove also that there are some vaudevillians who can act. Theirs is good.
 To speak of hoop rolling and jug siing numbers might seem disap- pointing, there arc so many of them It's hoop rolling and juggling. how ever, that Raymond Wilbert, the un- usual fellow, does at the Lyric. The unusual fellow, you will note, and
