Musical Show Presents
 New Bill For This Week
'Lovin June Title Of Musical Comedy At Lyric
 Beginning Monday

'Lovin' June," Eide Dudley's snappy musical extravaganza, takes the stage at the Lyric theatre tomorrow as the second offering in the Lyrics summer season of musical comedies.
 'Lovin' June" in its revised form brings to Birmingham one of the most sparkling musical entertainments of many a season, according to newspaper critics who have reviewed the Honey Bunch" company's production of the play in other cities in which it has been staged.
 "Lovin' June" is a comedy in the lighter vein with heads of snappy music and sparkling dance numbers by in- dividuals of the cast and by the en- semble of dainty corphees. It's a typ!- cal musical production, but in vest pocket size with stage settings and lighting effects on a par with the big ger productions. This, too, is true of the costuming, say those who have re- viewed the production elsewhere.
 Sid Garrison, whose work as leading comedian in last weeks production won him favor in Birmingham, is cast in another stellar comedy part. In ''Lov- in June" he takes the part of a fly police officer whose "wise cracks" and antics are a feature of the show.
 The cast has been augmented for "Lov-

EAST LAKE SET
 FOR BIG WEEK
Coming Of Real Summer Weather Brings
 Crowds

This marks the beginning of the big gest week East Lake Park has enjoyed thus far this season, and in all prob ability it will prove the biggest week in the history of the park from q crowd standpoint. In the first place warm weather has hit Birmingham to stay and with the Magic City in the grasp of a heat wave thousands will pour out to the resort for a plunge at the beach on which thousands of dollars have been spent in rebuilding. The lake where the bathers hold forth is twice as large as last year with deep sectors for swimmers and divers, and many other improvements have been added for the cOnveniences of lovers of water sports.
 In the second place the sOuth's big gest Baby Show is to be held at East Lake this week by the League of WOm- en Voters and the Business and Pro fessiOnal Women's club. This event which will be held June 12-13-14. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. is ex pected to attract thousands of visitors. Hundreds of the Magic City's finest will be entered in the contests for prizes, it is stated.
 Then, on Monday afternoon the park management is planning to entertain one of the biggest crowds of the season. Monday is Ladies' Day at the bathing beach, you know, and every woman in Jones Valley will be welcomed and given a free swim in the lake, the only requirement being that she furnish her own suit. This offer holds good from 1 to z 30.
 With each of the twelve big rides grinding away for the amusment and thrills of the kiddies and grown-ups alike and with daily picnics being staged by fraternal. churches. Sunday schools and families it really does seem that East Lake is off to her banner sea- son of the 1924 summer season. The crowds thus far this year have been bigger than in the history of the park, and this in spite of the extreme cold weather served up by Nr. Horton dur ing the month of May.

This act, according to leading Eastern critics, is real novelty of the vaudeville stage and promises to create a sensation.
 Other acts of this specially selected vaudeville bill include such features as the offering of Evelyn Earle and Harry Mathews, terpsichorean experts, in "All Mixed Up Around The World in Danceland," also the well known song and comedy team of Fiske and Fallon, with their music, Yitticisms and i'm itations.

Common Clay, Jane CowPs
 Great Play At Jefferson
Powerful Drama Made Famous By Great Act
 ress, Presented By Jefferson Players

Drama that is tense and satisfying, staged as always in perfect taste and enacted to perfection by the All-Star Jefferson Players will be offered thea tregOers next week in Common Clay" the Harvard prize play, ranked as one of the greatest successes in which Jane COwl ever appeared.
 As a rule the callous public which patrOnized the Broadway playhouses refuses to indorse the verdict which a play-reading committee passes upon as ''the best play out of a thousand sub mitted." but in this case the decision of the Harvard authorities which crowned Common Clay" as the prize play of the annual contest of Profes- sOr Bakers school of dramatic compo- sition has been sustained beyond all question of a doubt, for in a theatrical year that was remarkable for its num- Der of successful productions, Common Clay" stood head and shoulders above anything else presented and achieved

Hold Your Breath" and hold your sides, too, when you attend the Temple theatre this week, for what is declared to be the most thrilling, breath-taking, hair-raising, laugable comedy ever pre- sented will be the feature attraction.
 Hold Your Breath" yes; that's the name, and those who attend are warned that this is just what it will do-take your breath, and your grouch, too.
 Dorothy >Devore, heroine, tried to hold down her brothers job as a reporter on big newspaper, and she discovered that as a reporter she was good "bell hop" But she had the family to support, so she stuck to her job. a .uu.4..s
 She became maid, secretary, acrobat and dabbled in other lines. She brought out the police, the fire department, the mayor and the whole town-she al- most brought out the undertaker-but she made good--as the bride of Walter Hiers. :.
 Hold Your Breath" was just re- leased May 26 and Birmingham will be one of the first cities in the United States to view it.
 The second Telephone Girl" story will be shown also. When Knighthood Was in Tower" is the name of the sec ond of this series of stores by H. c. Witwer, that appeared in the Cosmo- politan Magazine, starring Alverta Vaughn. The first was shown at the Temple week before last.

the distinction of being the most con- spicuous hit of the season.
 One solid year at the Republic thea tre, New York, is the record attained by this poignantly human and powerful drama, whose vital theme and vigorous handling took metropolitan playgoers by storm and which is to feature next week at the theatre, afternoon and night. The. story of a poor girls re- volt against circumstances and her struggles for justice against overwhelm- ing odds, makes Common Clay" easily one of the biggest, most human and appealing plays of a decade and no one who is interested In a universal problem of humanity can afford to miss it.
 Birmingham has not had a drama offered by the All-Star players in sev- eral weeks, and in Common Clay they will find a play that fits the abilities of the players perfectly and which will satisfy the desire for strong dramatic entertainment.

LOCKWOOD PARK IN FULL SWING
Pleasure Seekers Throng Mountain Amuse-
 ment Resort

The 1924 season at Edgewood Park, the beautiful mountain amusement re- sort is now in full swing, and judging from the patronage thus far at the dance pavilion, swimming pool and club house where banquets and dinners are served, this will be the most pros porous season since the park was opened. The management has spared no experse in providing the convent ences and equipment that makes for good service, and patrons have given great praise for the many improve ments that have been made. Edge wood is the most popular place in the district for dance or swim.
 The new chutes that have been placed in the swimming pool, the highest in Birmingham, have proved source of great amusement to the patrons of the pool and enjoyed by young and old alike. The pool, prob ably the largest concrete pool in the world, is the ideal place for a swim. The water is supplied from artesan wells drilled through many feet of rock on the mountain side and is as pure as table water. It is further purified by the Wallace-Teirnan sys- tenn, thus guaranteeing its absolute freshness and purity.
 Dreamland pavilion where the dance holds forth is dream of beauty with its artistic decorations and hundreds of lights The floor is a dancers delight and the music by the Dreamland Ramblers, the classiest opponents of ja9z music in the district. is of such compelling nature that every one who hears them cannot keep their feet still.
 On Sunday afternoon. June 8, the Ramblers will give high class concert from 80 to 80 o'clock. The swim ming pool will be open all day until 12 o'clock During the hours of the con cert chicken dinners will be served at the club house.
 The new motor way paved right to the gates of the park, is dustless and is an ideal drive from the city. Street car transportation is of the best.
 : The management of Edgewood park want again to assure their patrons that service and courtesy is the motto and that nothing will bel left un- done to carry out this riley through out the season.

Sparkling wit and clever complica- tions are making 'The Ruined Lady" another big success by the All-Star Players, and only three performances remain in which theatregoers may en- joy this production, featuring Selmer Jackson, new leading man of the com pany and Miss Kathleen Comegys.
 Rehearsals are now under way for that famous laugh triumph Up In Mabels Room," which will be present ed next week. In response to numer- ous requests the management will offer the All-Star Players ill this riotous farce, which deals with a simple little present made by one Garry to fair Mabel.
 Everything would have gone along quite smoothly and happily had not Mabel refused to return the gift to Garry immediately after his wedding, because Mabel feared Mrs. Garry's jeal- ous disposition. The lines and situa- tions in Up In Mabels Room," are hilarious and present many opportuni- ties to Miss Kathleen Comegys and Sel- mer Jackson as Mabel and Garry.
