PRESENT AUDIT lIS SUFFICIENT,
 M'LENDON SAYS
Smith. Still Unaware Of Reported A. G. s.
 Shortage

'There is no need for a special audit of the Barrett administration, as the audit now in progress is checking all unpaid balances in the public improve ment department, including those inher- ited from former administrations."
 Commission President D. E. McLen- don made this statement Monday in reply to the demand by J. NJ. Jones, Jr., city comptroller, under the Barrett regime, for a sweeping audit of all funds handled while he was in office. Jones said he would pay the expenses of the check-up if it revealed short age of one cent or more.
 McLendon explained that the resolu- tion authorizing the present audit pro- vided for a thorough check of all funds handled by the administration now in office, but that the auditors were prob ing all outstanding accounts in the public improvement department, where the long series of shortages has occur red. ~
 "When the report of the auditors is finished" McLendon said, it will show all shortages that exist in the public improvement department and the dates on which they occurred. Then, if a furthef audit is deemed necessary by anyone, a request to the commission would receive the proper considera- tion."
 All other commission members were silent on the subject Monday. The city hall was awaiting the auditors report, which will show whether-or not some of the numerous shortages date back to the former regime.
 Former Comptroller Jones HIatly as- serts there were no shortages of any kind during his administration.
 Widespread reports at city hall are to the effect that $6,500 shortage has existed in public improvement assess ments of the Alabama Great Southern railroad since January, 1921-almost year before the Barrett administra- tion went out of office.
 F. Hopkinson Smith, in charge of the audit, has declared he has no knowl- edge of such a shortage, but his assist ants admit the A. G. s. account has not yet been checked. An afternoon newspaper has InSde the flat charge that the shortage exists and has given voucher numbers and other data in SUD- port of it's contention.
 In reply to all this, the auditors sim ply state they have no statement to issue untli tnelr Wofk IS completed The belief continues at city hall that the shortage will be reported in the final report of the auditors, and that additional shortages in the present ad ministration also will be brought tc light.
 In some quarters Monday, the sug- gestion was made that the alleged A. c. s. shortage would turn out to be merely a clerical error.
 There were indications that officials of the Barrett administration would call at city hall shortly and demand a showdown on the shortage report now in circulation

ASHBURN COMING TO VIEW WARRIOR
Expected In Birmingham During Latter Part
 Of Week

Col. T. o. 1Ashburn, director of trans portation for the Mississippi Warrior barge lines, is expected in Birmingham during the present week. He was in New Orleans Monday and, will be the guest of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce before coming to Birming- ham. He will be joined in Birmingham by Robert A. Brown, member of the advisory committee,s and with several industrial men of this district, will make detailed inspection of the serv- ice.
 His visit to Birmingham at this time is being observed with unusual inter est by local industrial men. There has been lately an announcement made that Secretary Weeks of the war depart ment would also come south to inspect the line during November. Renewed interest in the line by the Washington officials has been interpreted to, mean that the service is to be given closer direction by the federal officials than in the past. Colonel Ashburn has indicated that he considers the service of paramount importance to the pro- gress, of this section and has intimated that nothing shall be permitted to inter fere with it's proper and efficient de- velopment.
 The creation of the advisory board and the appointment of Robert A. Brown of Birmingham as a member, has proven most gratifying to local in- dustrial men, who have though for years that the line would eventually prove to be the most valuable traffic outlet ofssthis district.

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE LYRIC

Not content with merely standing in front of the audience and singing a few songs, members of the Bison City Four company, male quartet play ing an engagement at the Lyric theatre, have devised series of comedy skits which they use as vehicles for putting over" their talents. Appearing in the roles of bartender, policeman, Italian fruit dealer and tramp, they offer a good bit of wholesale humor, during which they find opportunity for a num- Der of well rendered songs.
 The bill is opened by Marvel & Faye, a contortionist and ring artist. Marvel proves himself an adept at comic con- tortions, while Miss Faye won hearty applause for her work on the swing ing rings.

SPICE OF l923'
 GIVEN APPROVAL
WinsOme Lassies And Elaborate Scenery Fea-
 lures Of Revue

Edward Blooms Spice of 1925" which got off to a flying start at the Jefferson theatre Monday night, should change it's name. It is too up-to-the- minute to be dated last year.
 Spice is good name for the piece, for it teens with dash and pep through out. There are two acts and 32 scenes, and there's laugh in almost every line.
 The dazzling revue came south with the original Winter Garden cast, in cluding Georgia Price, Sam Hearn, Alice Ridnor and Betty McGowan, four of the most capable artists seen here this year.
 The scenery is extravagant. the cos tunes are different and gorgeous, there's a large, smart chorus and the action gets faster in every scene. And even though it might be called little bit risque in places, the Spice of 1925 gave the first, nighters everything they were looking for. If there is any jus tic it should do well here Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The Castle House orchestra, boasting a dozen picked artists, answered sev- eral encores and drew a remarkable ovation.
 Clever work by Sam Hearn pleased immensely and there was not mo- ment when he was not doing a whole lot for the show. Help Wanted" lit tie spice of big business, in which Hearn and pretty Dolores Suarez did the heavy parts, was the high point of the entire revue.
 There is snake scene that sends cold shivers down your back; dance speciality that is brand new; a skit in a tailor shop that is a real riot, and a Winter Garden stage door bit that caused uproarious laughter.
 Georgia Price gave some impersona- tions that were entirely acceptable, and this versatile young man also pleased in the Casey at the Bat" scene. He can sing, too.
 "The Javanese Temple was new to Birmingham and takes rank as an other outstanding scene in the piece.
 There are no dull moments in the "Spice of 1923 It is spicy all the way through and stands out as one of the best shows Birmingham has seen this season. H. F. B.

 At the recent pure food show a number of the new stoves and ranges were exhibited. Arrangements are be- ing made with local dealers to handle them.

AT InEW,S RIL0II


 Loew's Bijou theatre is presenting bill which will rank high among amusements scheduled for the week in Birmingham.
 Clay Crouch and company, leading the bill with "Oh You Shiek," are real entertainers. They present an act that is interesting from beginning to end. Bee Jung furnishes the thrills with a series of gymnast stunts on the flying trapeze. She is in many ways rival to the aerial families of big top fame. Dorothy Nelson and her partner take a prominent place on the bill with a number of musical selections on the piano, violin and cello. Freeman and Morton furnished the comic songs.
 The Demo Sisters and Thibault close with soft shoe dancing act. This trio are their own musicians, playing on the boards of the stage as they dance.
 "A Lady of Quality" the picture offering for the week, is built on an or dinary plot. The acting, however, Is good and the picture has a historical value.
 As summary, it may be said that this weeks bill is better balanced and affords more entertainment than any presented for weeks.-J. NJ. c.

by their comic actions on learning that their wedding date has been set for the thirteenth day of certain month, and that the thirteenth on this month will fall on Friday.
 Charles Cartwell, Laura Harris & O., appear in a new singing and dancing skit called Three Episodes" These ac- tors are old vaudeville favorites, and their act this year is one of the best they have yet offered.
 Closing the bill, Harry and Ada Vivian present a splendid exhibition of sharpshooting. The customary sensa- tionalism is omitted from the cat, their stated intent being merely to offer. a scientific exhibition of what may be tionalism is omitted from the act, their done with firearms under skilled manip ulation.
