ADJUSTMENTS
AT LoEM,s nIJou

Opening with the Flying Henrys. who offer sensational tricks in aerial acrobatics, the program presented for the last half of this week at Loew's Bijou is diversified and well chosen. The company of Ladd and Morgan, heading the biii, is easily the best terpsichorean offering seen in Bir- mingham for some time. William Lad and Elizabeth Morgan are both accomplished dancers and were ac- corded much applause by the Thurs ay night audience. In the Spanish fandango, the two dancers were at their best. The Click Sisters. also of the Ladd- Morgan company, are blues" singers of the most versatile caliber, and how they were lured from Broadway is a credit to Marcus Loew.
 Torrey and McGowan bring a bit of Scotland to Birmingham. They sing of the dells, streams and hills, so dear to the hearts of the followers of the poet, Robert Burns. Their Scotch humor, in original form, brought the house down. Hugh Elm nett and Theresa Lind presented q musical novelty. Maxon and Brown. two clever comedian-si singers. offered several original songs, which were well received by the audience.
 Colleen Moore and Antonio Moreno in Look Your Best" Rupert Hughes picture. portrayed the charac- ters of the eminent authors story in good style. Completing the program. are many comedies, news reels and movie novslties.-J. D.
 AT THE LYRIC
 Vaudeville of the usual Lyric quality Is being presented at that popular theatre for the last half of this week, with Mildred Parker, The Whirlwind Violinist as the feature of the program. Miss Parker play ing is as near faultless as any vaudeville audience would care to hear. A vivacious manner adds ma terially to her performance.
 Melroy Sisters in some songs and steps opens the offering. Their act cellent dancers, and one an excep- tioal vocalist. :.
 A farce comedy. Take My Tip" centered about the ever popular horse races is worth while due to It's originality. Spf Naamention goes to William Maca.l ,dge Tedd and to Tthlynne Bradfofu as the count ess. As usual cupid wins the race.
 A piano and vocal offering by Harold Neil and Fred Witt offers two accomplished vaudevillians, one at the piano and the other vocal ist. Their part of the program Is highly entertaining.
 Fridkin and Rhoda label theirs "A Noyolty Dance in q Flash of Color anC Grace" The audience seemed to like it. One must admit that the various grotesque figures they make of the body displays unusual ability. Whether they are graceful or not IS another question. R. w. K.

 MINEOLA, l.. l., Sept. 13.--A hu- man being flew at a ftur-mile -a- minute speed Thursday for the first timo.
 This speed was reached when Lieut.. H. J. Brow sped his Navy Curtis racer four times across a measured kilometer at clip of 244.15 miles an hour. Two of the laps were with the wind, two against.
 Brow's achievement is a new world record, shatterins that of 2SS miles an hour, established only three days ago by Lieut.. l.. H. Sanderson in a Navy Wright fighter.
 Experts attributed Brow's high av- craze speed to the dtuble-e cham Der wings used on the plane. The flight was on a dead level. with no dive from higher altitude to pile up momentum for the record stretch.

 It is practically impossible to real ize what this gigantic figure means.
 Every person in Germany is many times millionaire-in marks.
 Ten million marks, pre-war $2,0OO,- 000 is a small tip.
 one hundred million marks, pre- war S2O,OO0 900, is the price of meal
 One million marks, pre-war s2OO,- 000.000, will not buy a cheap suit Of clothes.
 Anyone in Germany who hasn't 8 billion marks is impoverished.

 If she took her payment in paper-- $500 would more than cover the bill.'
