ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Theater goers of Birmingham will have bill to talk about for some time, in the five unusual novelty acts in the Lyric bill of Keith vaudeville which began Monday. It would be difficult to tell which act drew the most applause, hut the numerous curtain calls for Princess Cemon an eccentric come dienne with a florid temperament, and her partner, Arthur Conrad, is signifi- cant.
 Dan Sherman, Mabel DeForest and company as the lead bill take a per liven it up. Much humOr is connected with two unlucky rubes who look alike, although they eventually see the entire circus.
 Jean Howard and Loretta Earl with Maths Gardner and Bill Gardner start the bill with their idiosyncratic danc- ing. Thorough humorists on the sub- ject of marriage, are Eddie Gaffney and Tess Walton. Neither can decide whether theirs is an unfair marriage or not.
 A comparison of songs of older days with those of modern times by Vera Walton and Orville Rennie, with Jean Bartlett accompanying, shows up mod ern music. The comparisons are in teresting.
 The extravaganza of the bill is Princess Semon in the skit titled "Mu- sicomicalities." No one has quite en- unused the smart set of Birmingham as she, Monday night since the appear ance of Rita Gould. Primrose gives everybody a chance to laugh. No one missed it.

GREAT RAILLNE GIVEN TO SOVIET
 BY GEN. CHANG
Chinese Eastern, Linking Manchuli and Vladiv0s-
 tok, 5OO,OOO,OOO Rubles

MOSCOW, Oct. 6.-What is de- ,scribed in soviet circles as an agree lnent between Russia and China to block the advances of western powers iin the Far East has just been concluded ifi an agreement which turns the ad- Administration of the entire Chinese East Iern railway over to the Russian gov Iernment.
 z The railway administration was de- Ilivered to the soviets October 4, it has just been learned, in an agreement signed September 20 at Mukden be- tween the soviet government and Gen. ,eral Chang-tso-lin, war lord of Man. churia.
 In an interview given to the Rosta agency in Pekin, M. Karakhan, Rus 'eian representative there, describes the agreement as crushing blow to i'm perialist states, destroying their last chance to grasp the Eastern railway"
 Karakhan then reviewed evidence which the soviet leaders are convinced proves that it had been planned to establish foreign control over the East ern railway.
 { The railway property returned to Russia under the treaty is worth half billion gold rubles. Karakhan believes. The treaty with Chang-tso-lin about through the earlier treaty between the soviet and the Pekin government which the latter was incapable of fulfilling.
 For four mounths, Karakhan said. the railway agreement hung fire because of Chang's refusal to recognize the Government with which be was negotiat- ing.
 Long In Dispute
 ! The Chinese Eastern railway, an i'm portant strategic line which runs east ward from Manchuli through Man ehuria and on to Vladivostok, had long Teen Il subject of controversy among various powers which have sought its control. Since the overthrow of the ezar's government, its status has been in dispute.
 Its return to the .soviets, Karakhan declares, opens a vista of political and economic collaboration between Russia and China.
 Early in September, Karakhan con tinued, the commander of the AmericaIl tr0ops in China took his staff on an in- spection topr of the Chinese Eastern railway. With the military party were members of the former adminis- tr;kion of the railway. They inspected bridges, and studied tine traffic possi- bilities from q military standpoint, the Russian representative alleged.
 "This tour," he continued, lis sig nificant in connection with the protest of the foreign powers against the Chi nese-Russian treaty.

AT LOEWs BIJOU

Seldom has Birmingham been treated to so many laughs in one vaudeville act as is found in the Barber of Seville, the headline attraction of the current bill at Lowe's BijOu.
 The act contains nothing subtle, or sensational, yet the barber shop is the scene~Of plenty of clean comedy and some parody singing by the seven artists ilr the cast. The big hit of the act is the finale, when the entire cast render Yes, We Have no Banannas" in grand opera fashion.
 The balance of the bill also is above the average. The first act, a dancing speciality by Rogers and Dorkin opens with the conventional street scene and then blossoms out on full stage with a couple of clever Spanish dances and an eccentric number, which received plenty of applause
 Ryan and O'Neil in the second num- Der, bring forth a medley of songs, some pathetic, some reminiscent which also pleases the audience. At the close of the act, The Age-Herald Doll is in troduced to the audience with the an. nouncement that one of the big, talking
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

singing dolls will be given away dur ing the Saturday matinee.
 Burns and Kissen are versatile. Their act billed as "Stromberry pie" is a takeoff on a Greek restaurant keeper. The skit contains little batter, but plenty of funny songs. They make two quick changes, one to German comdians of the Weber and Fields variety and q third change into street costumes, when they proceed to write q song with the help of the audience-and one en- thuslastic friend in the balcony who can't forget the Stromberry pie song.
 The last act on the bill brings forth two of the best balancers in American vaudeville, the Franchini Brothers. Both are models of physical develop ment and their feats of strength was more than well received.

Jujitsu Experts Attack Secretary of
 Shidehara (Rx Assonsafad Prassl


 TOKYO, Oct. 6.-"Patriotic agita- ton for Japanese intervention in the Chinese war on the side of General Ehang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian leader, was brought to a climax today when three members of the Taisho patriotic association, all jujitsu experts, invaded the foreign office and forced their way into the private quarters of Baron Shidehara, foreign minister.
 When the trio demanded an inter- view with the foreign minister, he was absent. They then upbraided the foreign minister for what they termed 'his spineless" policy towards China.
 In their rage the visitors attacked and severely beat the private secretary of the foreign minister, and other secretaries. Police were called and ar- rested the trio.
