LYRIC PRESENTS
TWO EXTREMES
Vaudeville Bill For Last
Half Pleases Big
Audience

Two extremes in ages are being pre-
scented during the latter half OF the
current week at the Lyric. The bill
is opened by Bud and Eleanor Coll,
two youthful performers. The big act
is presented by the Minstrel Monarchs
Four old-time performers, all of them
more than 60 years old, appear IN
their old characters and prove the
truth of the old adage, "A man is as
old as he feels" John e. German,
Billy Golden, Charles Udell and James
B. Bradley are the four aged actors.
They are presented by Billy Tate.
The quality of their singing won
high approval from the audience Thurs
day, and their dancing was of such
character as to win the envy of many
young performers.
The exact reverse of this quartette
was the act presented by Bud Coll and
his sister. They are billed for skit
entitled, youth and Talent" That
there is plenty of youth is plainly APP
parent, and those who witnessed their
performance Thursday were unanimous
in the decision that there also was con-
siderable talent.
Something entirely out of the ordi-
nary is presented by Lura Bennett and
Company. Miss Bennett is said to be
the only American woman to have a
record in the professional fighting
world.
Flourette Jeoffrie, a colorature So
prano, gave a splendid concert, and
her efforts met with good response from
the audience. Although all but one
of her numbers was in foreign, the
effect of her ability was noticeable in
the applause of the audience. Miss
Jeoffrie possesses an unusually clear
voice, and a wide range.
The bill is rounded out by William
A. Jones and AL w. Rea. They present
comedy skit that proved entertain
ing.
OF special interest to Birmingham
residents is the Pathe News reel that
is being shown at the Lyric. The reel
featres the May Day celebration at
Auburn college, where boys of the
school dressed as girls and staged a
typical May Day festival, with a queen
and all her troupe. Faces in the pic
ture are unusually c1ear-cut.

ITALY is PRAISED
BY, CLUB SPEAKER

Italy was termed "the best regulated
country in Europe" by II. U. Sims
speaking Thursday before the Com
munity clubs weekly luncheon on the
subject Of the "Mussolini Movement"
Sims, local attorney, who has spent
considerable time in travel and study
Of Che country, although stating Mus
soiini was nothing less than a dictator,
was mildly enthusiastic over the results
the government had wrought.
'gThere is general satisfaction with
the rule by Italians" the speaker de-
claEed. During my visit / met only
one citizen who raised any objection.
He said Mussolini represented no
law"
Briefly, the speaker traced the be-
ginning of the "Black Shirt" move
mant which sprang, he said, from the
plebian classes as a reaction against
communism.
ssMussolini himself was a communist
at one time, but like all communists
who taste power, he deserted the
ranks"
During the business session W. W.
Wnkerson, president, appointed Philip
Jackson and Bob Wilkinson to act on
q new entertainment committee.
