MOZART AT BEST IN 'COS| FAU TUTTE' Cyrene Commandery Will Present Opera Comique
 Thursday

Is staging 'Cosi fan Tutte," the opera comique, which is to be pre- sented in Birmingham Thursday night at the Masonic auditorium by the Cyrne Commandry Drill Corp, William Hinshaw, the producer, was quick to see the possibilities of this Mozart classic from the double standpoint of perfect art and tre- mendous popularity. Some time after Mr. Hinshaw had completed arrange ments to stage "Cosi fan Tutte," Gatti-Casazza announced the produce ton as one of the operas for the metropolitan season in 1921. The presentation was given not once, but several times. and proved to be one of the seasons triumphs for the metropolitan.
 The supporting cast is remarkable in that MT. Hinshaw has been able to find vocalists, who could scale the dizzy heights of Mozartean music, where so much depends not alone on difficult technique. but on range as well.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

AT THE LfhlC
 Old King Joy reigns supreme at week. One act only prevents 1t being labeled seven rollicking big time vaudeville acts supreme"
 The addition of Naylor's Seven Aces adds considerable to the pro- gram this week. Bill Dooley detracts equally as much, No use to enumer- ate Bills shortcomings as vaude- vile artist. It would be easier to tell his virtues. So much for those two.
 Walter Law, the famous movie vil- lain, is labeled as the headliner, but he has not undisputed possession of that place. Not that Walter isn't good-he is-and his little skit, Just in Time" is well staged, with the as- sistance of Betty Marvin and Roy Gallagher.
 Choosing headliners would certain ly call for consideration of Dark ness and Dawn" another of those Donna Darling and boys in a song and dance romance. The second named presents some of the best dancers who have ever appeared in Birmingham. Besides, there is pro- fusion of elaborate scenic effects and a talented woman. The entire act is pleasing in every detail.
 Darkness and Dawn" is hilarious black-face comedy act, introducing George and Paul Hickman in one of the best similar offerings ever to play the Lyric No, it's not just like the others, it's different, and therein lies it's quality.
 Amac, card artist supreme. opens the bill. He is assisted by Velma, the disappearing lady. Where is the lady?' Amac asks the audience. His questions remains yet unanswered.
 Twelve Minutes of Hot Stuff" with Al Thompson and Pal Shelly is another of the best there is in vaude- vile. As a grand finale open house, lains, in which they stage what one might term an informal reception, just an impromptu jubilee, which goes over big. Just imagine Bill Dooley isn't on the program. The balance of the acts will surely please. The usual photoplays are shown.- R. w. K.
 AT LoEw's BIJoU
 The 1923 edition of the "Follies," three other acts, and Elaine Hammer stein in the photoplay, Broadway Gold" are making Loew's Bijou a big favorite with theatre fans of Birmingham this week.
 If the Follies of this year can be compared with the one past, it is prov ing decided improvement. The acts are well spiced with pretty and expensive costumes. while unique lighting and scenic effects add to it's beauty. tf@
 Broadway Gold" cannot be praised too highly. It is somewhat of a de- parture from the established order of modern movies. with an interest ing plot and love story. Miss Ham, merstein is supported by good cast.
 From the regular vaudeville acts 1t is hard to pick headliner. Brosius proved themselves real art ists on wheels, as well as good come dians. Halter and Paul kept the au- dience in an excellent temper with a lively line of chatter, dancing and singing.
 Stella Mayhew proved versatile in initiating a negro singer and could possibly be picked to lead the bill.- J. M. c.
