ADJUSTMENTS
AT LoEW,s RIJOU

Another "all-star" bill is being presented at Loews Bijou theatre fol the first half of this week. For the past several weeks 1t has been tho policy of the management to secure five standard vaudeville acts and very seldom is any act headlined The bill the first part of this week is of the same average standard as has been presented in the past
 Rogers and Gregory in Dark Mo ments," a black-face skit that is fun nier than any seen here recently and Kerwis Krayona and company, presenting an artistic novelty, dt- vide applause honors.
 krayona and company open the bill and present an act that ends with a distinct kick" Radio and mechani- cal apparatus of all sorts is used in this act. As the climax the artist draws a picture of a big battleship and then stands and operates the battleship of his own creation by ra- dio. even to the extent of firing it's gun. This Illusion is practically per feet.
 Minnette and Bryant offer a num- Der of violin and piano selections on the second spot. These young ladies prove to be talented musicians and play some difficult compositions.
 Brown and Rogers present regu- lar man ana woman uldloS ue dct with brand new chatter as the third offering.
 Rogers and Gregory then present their laughable skit. They were forced to give several encores at their initial performance.
 One of the niftiest dancing trios of the time is presented on the clos ing position, in the act of the Caporal Trio. Each of the dancers performs O colo ond work nf the trio O. gether is very pleasing.
 In the featured movie offering, Lost and Found" the Bijou is pre- senting a picture that will prove to be one of the best of the year for ac tion and romance-P. M. c.
 AT THE LYRIC
 How bad man can be a good man, generally speaking, was demonstrated Monday night at the Lyric trea- tre by John Glynn MarFarlane. speaking the line of "Pancho Lopez" prototype of Francisco Villa, famous Mexican bandit in The Bad Man" a comedy full of surprising situations borrowing into the melodramatic. As humorous satire. The Bad Man" ranks with any production ever brought to Birmingham.
 Raymond Bramley, as Morgan Bell" an oil magnate who ill-treats his wife. is seen at his best since he came to Birmingham with the Lyric is an effective counter to that of MarFarlane, for whom the Mexican part seemed tailor-made.
 Hazel Corinne, leading woman, is we'll cast as Lucia Bell" the wife who found the man she loved. after several years silence on his part. Miss Corinne pleased the crowded house hay- i,1fa tot nf J1n rn1
 But it remained for A. S, Byron to be the life of the party as Henry Smith," irascible uncle of the man Lucia loved-Gilbert Jones (Sherold Page,) MT. Byron. with his strings upon strings of "Gol darns" and his frankness in untangling situations. convulsed the audience. He is a nat ural comedian, his three roles have shown.
 Sherold Page is much better in his role this week. He ably portrays the part of a man who has always lacked just that quality to make good. Franklin George. Melba Palmer. Ha- gel Reading and Lawrence Keating renew friends made previously.
 Harold Moule, newscomer, ac- quilted himself creditably in the part who is foiled in his attempt to fore close a mortgage upon Gilberts S ranch. Dan Flood and Fred l.. Dendy are others who appear to advantage.
 "The Bad Man" Is a comedy, full of surprises and thrills, worth anyone's time who wishes to fill an evening pleasantly. "Bluebeards Eighth Wife" will be presented next week, following the policy of producing only plays which are fresh from New York and which have not yet been seen in Birmingham-H w. S.
