ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Spontaneous outbursts of approval, vigorously rendered, constinuously greeted the vaudeville bill opening at the Lyric Thursday evening. Prob ably this theatre has on few pre- vious occasions presented program so wholly delightful, refreshing and thoroughly entertaining as is being shown this week. 1t has novelty in heaps from beginning to end.
 The bill is one of those often found in vaudeville. Opening with num- Der so unusually good, it causes in stant suspicion of the program fol- lowing. Vaudeville patrons seldom look for five as good as those the Lyric is showing this week.
 Johnny Reynolds opens. To say Johnny Reynolds is the best bal ancer ever in Birmingham sounds en- tirely too commonplace. If he should be termed the best vaudeville, the matter probably would not be over stated.
 Imagine Reynolds atop seven tables and four chairs, piled high upon one another until they reach we'll into the curtains above, perilously bal anced with the upper two chairs, to leg. meanwhile idly reading

NAVY PLIERS MAKE LONG FLIGHT. RECORD
Two Marine Corps Planes Arrive
 Safely At Haiti

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 6.--The long, est American flight, and the second longest in the history of aviation, was completed today, according to officials of the Hampton Roads na- val air station, with the arrival of two marine corps planes at Haiti.
 Lieuts. F. o. Rogers and H. D. Palmer, U. S. NJ. C., left Haiti Sep tember 19 for a flight to various parts of the United States, and ended the last lap of the return trip today. The flight covered 1o,953 miles and took the aviators twice across the United States. They were at Washington September 23, and proceeded to St. Louis, when they at tended the air meet held october 4-6. From St. Louis they went to San Francisco, by way of Fl Paso and San Diego, They were in San Fran cisco during the American Legion convention late in October
 tinent was made by way of Salt L,ake City. Omaha and St. Louis to Wash ington. They arrived in Washington November 2, and went directly to the marine flying field at Quantico, where the engines in their planes were changed. This change was made as precautionary measure, as the original engines had functioned perfectly during the trip.

 Number two is Ballet. Donaldson Brown and Renaud, billed as the four entertainers and proving every inch of that and more two. Four better quartet voices would be hard to find. Their happy selection of pop ular medleys was only surpassed by the finished manner in which they were rendered.
 Miss Claire Vincent, in smart of fering entitled Learn To Smile" comes third. A good analysis is Miss Vincent is difficult. Briefly, she is one of the most accomplished women in vaudeville, charming stage per- sonality, contagious laugh and very pretty. She is ably assisted by Helen Baze, as the girl, and Frank NJ.

 So says Director John M. Stahl, iwbo has made his contention the backbone of his latest photodramatic Accomplishment, -rhe Wanters," a First National picture to be pre- sented with an all-star cast by Louis B. Mayer at the Trianon theatre next week.

THE GINGHAM GIRL

Playgoers with an ear for music that has a lit and charm peculiarly its own will be delighted with the song hits of the musical comedy. :The Gingham Girl" which Messrs Schwab and Russell, its producers, will present to patrons of the Jeff ferson Wednesday, December 12, for four nights and Thursday and Satur day matinee. The merry, jingly tunes are immensely popular with music and dance lovers of New York, where the play ran year, and they are still whistling Love and Kisses" Libby" Tell Her While the Waltz Is Playing" "The FortySecond Street Strut" and several others. This popular attraction comes to this city with a fine production, a com pany of we'll known players, includ- ing some of the Broadway company, the snappy, agile chorus whose in- terpretation of the dances invented and staged by Sammy Lee were the talk of the metropolis, and the fa- nous "Gingham Girl' soloists who will augment the local orchestra, lending pep and harmony to the tnneful score.

No One Euer Fully Satisfied,
 Says Director Of The Wanters

figure of the story is a girl, who, to satisfy her craving to be close to the luxuries she has always been denied, takes a position as maid in a home of great wealth and social standing. The romance, which ac- companies her elevation to high so- cal position. demonstrates in a gripping climax the emptiness of all her wanting and that of the snobs who had done thier best to make her life a misery.
 While no attempt is made to form a definite solution for the problem of the "wanter," there is a moral interwoven with the thrills, comedy and dramatic suspense that adds in terest to the theme and lasting quality to the picture.
 The scenario was written by J. c. Hawks and Paul Bern from the Leila Burton Wells story. The cast includes Marie Provost, Robert Ellis, Norma Shearer, Huntley Cor don, Lincoln Stedman, Richard Headrick, Gertrude Astor and Lil- -lian Langdon.
