AT THE LYRIC


 Plase Birmingham audiences have proved themselves liberal applauders of vaudeville offerings of various and sundry qualities. Whether It De induced by merit, or-pity-or maybe the audience is just good sympa. :. thetic gathering. the significance or the applause is small matter Tor worry to the actors and others who make their living on the stage. They naturally accept it as bespeaking un- stinted appreciation of their heroic efforts. gracious encore-and the show goes rolliekinsiy % onward; a. tho
 Monday nights offering at the Lyric is typical of the above. Not many who witnessed the show would for one moment think of depriving The Elm City Four" of their just dues, for to them goes credit Tor en- livening very mediocre biii. Ihelf act presents quartet of real singers, well worth hearing.
 Florence Merritt and Vincent Coughlin, in Something Different, opened the bill. It's very different, but the difference didn't seem to im- press the audience very much.
 Deane Bernard sand Mabel Merritt in a "variety Frolic" were two girls who sung and danced. played the oaxaphone and the accordion. and wore some very pretty costumes. One of the girls. the slim one, is good looking. The other is rather copious.
 "A Bit of Dixieland," by Davis and Sanford, featuring a black mammy of enormous proportions, and a little red headed ginl, who could sing if she tried. lacked real entertainment feature. A couple of songs and some antics by nanny composed their of- fering.
 The Three Longfields, presenting a clever equilibristic number, were ex- ceptionally good, and the act was well received. They presented some stunts out of the ordinary, shQEing some re- markable feats of balancing new to Birmingham.
 Gladys Walton in "The Love Let ter" story by Bradley King. is an interesting picture, dealing as usual with romantic and youthful love, and some adventure.-R. w. K.

and assumed jointly to construct the
building, just in what way the one
furnishing the steel could be re-
sponsfble for the neglect of the others
and vice versa does not appear No
joint contract is set out. Indeed tho
only inference to be drawn from the
indictment is that each one con-
tracted individually to perform his
particular part of the work.
TT is elementary that before one
defendant can be held responsible
the connection or joint character of
the undertaking must clearly appear.
In the Indictment there is nothing
to show such a Joint undertaking as
would impose upon each OF the de-
PENDANTS a personal duty and re-
sponsibility in respect of the entire
undertaking. 1t is not sufficient to
establish merely the common pur-
pose to construct the theater build
ing. but the undertaking must be
such that the negligence Of one will
be inputable to all the others"
The court concludes it's opinion by
declaring that the case at bar is so
completely disposed Of by the decis-
lon of the court in the Ainsworth
case that the opinion of the then
De adopted as in every way decisive
Of the case.
The Ainsworth case grew out of the
collapse of the Ford Theater build
ing on 10th street near F street in
1893. An indictment against Gen.
Ainsworth and the builder and others
employed in making repairs to the
building at the time of the fall of
the walls was dismissed.

Engineer Commissioner Sees
Institute as Aid in His
Efforts for City.

A letter from Col. Charles Keller,
engineer commissioner, expressing
his appreciation of the recent action
of the Washington Chapter, Amer
lean Institute of Architects, in
passing a resolution commencing
him for his ''far-sighted Judgment
and infallible good taste displayed
in such matters as concern the de-
velopment of the city of Washing
ton along parallel paths of beauty
and safety" was read at a recent
meeting of the organization held
in the University Club.
Colonel Keller said in part:
MAY I add that the occasion
seems fitting to say that, far from
deserving thanks at your hands, I
should in reality be thanking your
chapter for the exceedingly public
spirited attitude that it takes in
regard to questions affecting the
welfare of Washington, and for the
support that it gives the District
authorities, especially in cases in
which the good taste and the
authority of the members of the
chapter put them in a position to
be most helpful. I am encouraged
to feel that together we are making
real progress, and that in the long
run the community is sure to bene
fit by the union between such
body as yours and the District
Commissioners"
The chapter considered the ad-
visibility of building an office
building for architects and com
mittee was appointed to make
report on the subject. T. A. Mullett
gave a short talk on painting
specifications.
