SHRINE CIRCUS
 HAS WON FAVOR
Large Crowds Give Enthusiastic
 Approval Of Acts

Nothing can dampen the ardor of regular Shriner when it comes to bringing about desired result, so when the rain fell Thursday night it didn't faze the nobles who are working for the success of Zamora temples Shrine circus, in their determination to make the affair a success, one iota, in fact, it seemed to spur them on to greater efforts.
 Despite the elements the crowd nt the circus was large and certainly en- thusiastic about the big show. The acts on the stage went on with accus- toned smoothness and the outside fea- lures cut merry clip and raised the fun to point of hilarity. Ernest Mat thews, director general, the officers and committees of the temple who are behind the circus, and elated over the fact that the show has won popular favor and is being generously patron ized by the general public.
 "We want Birmingham and Zamora temple to put their Shrine circus over in a manner that will reflect the great est credit on both," declared MT. Mat thews. 1t is civic as well as a fraternal pride that prompts us to this desire. 1 am glad to say that the gen. eral public is showing an appreciation of what success will mean and are re- spending fin a most gratifying manner"

R0TTO'S SHOW
 GREAT SUCCESS
Minstrel Staged At Ma sonic Auditorium Thurs
 day Wins Applause

With good music, clever jokes, an able cast and a varied repertoire of songs, members of Kamram Grotto Thursday evening presented their min strel show in it's initial performance to . crowded house at the Masonic temple auditorium. Although original plans were to present the show Thursday and Friday evenings only, the large crowd : Thursday evening and the heavy ad- vance ticket sale have resulted in an announcement that the performance will continue through Saturday eve ntns.
 Staged under the direction of. Tom and Dave Moxley, the production has ali the earmarks of a professional ef- fort.
 Probably the Original Four quartet was the most popular of the many fine sections of the show. Interspersing their singing with clever jokes and ac- tions, these men won applause from ev- eryone, and several times were called back
 Jack McLane appears in a monologue scene that provides him opportunity for number of good songs and large variety of funny stories.
 Dave Moxley's song, "Moonshine," was the outstanding feature of the minstrel section of the performance Acting in blackface, as an end man, he won much applause through this song. Several comic verses to the same tame failed to satisfy the audience, and they continually called him back until at last he was forced to repeat earlier parodies.
 The performance of every man in the cast showed the results of much re- hearsal, and each soloist and humorist was of such high caliber that there vas little to choose between them. All the songs were good, and the jokes l used were both new and clever.
 Dave Moxley was interlocutor, and in that position really had to bear the , brunt of the whole performance His work was good, and through it the end men and other blackface comedians were able to win hearty applause.
 Songs were rendered by w, H. Rein l field, Red Thorton, Roy Summers, Dick Durham, B. P. Blackwell, Bill Qxley, Al FOnnell and J. z. Hinds. B. R. Blackwell sang Down the Trail of the Long. Long Ago. one of the few serious pieces that enter in the per formance, but his rendition made the few minutes spent away from laughter well worth while.
 The closing number of the show was an after piece called "Sluefoot John sons Dream It showed a negro, famed for his laziness, descended into Hades, where Satan puts him in temp Orary command of the fiery region. His whole-hearted joy in thus being in charge. rather than being forced to work himself, provided one of the most humorous scenes in the show. W. B. NJ, |

AT THE LYRIC

Usually when vaudeville patrons go to the theater they do it to see some actor play part he has chosen for himself because he is particularly we'll suited for the characterization, either through natural ability or through spe- cial training. But in Charles Althoff, headliner attraction at the Lyric the latter half of the present week, they will have opportunity to see a man who is not acting a part, but is staging an act in an atmosphere in which he grew up.
 z Appearing as ond old farmer, Althoff brings to the stage a collection of the funniest situations and quips that he picked up in many years spent on the farm. His act is known as "The Yan- kee Fiddler" and is one of the most pleasing of its kind that has been in Birmingham for some time.
 Andrew Lewis and Pansy Norton are presented in From Coast to Coast ? Written by Jack Lait, this skit con. tains variety of rapid-fire monologues and comic dialogue that drew round after round of applause from the audi ence. It is presented in four scenes, portraying the travels of a woman of

Favors Lifting Ban.
'I am confident. however, that from
my standpoint the assignment here
will be a most pleasant one,' SAID
Bishop Keeuey. "I have never heard
anything but good about the Omaha
area"
Asked concerning his opinion on
the lifting of the ban on dancing, the
theater and card playing at the re-
cent conference in Springfield, Bishop
Keeney said:
"I am entirely in accord with the
conference on it's action. I believe
that 1t was a mistake to catalogue
sins. for what is dangerous In one
country may not be in another one.
The document cataloguing sins per-
tanned largely to the United states
vet 1t was applied to the world.
"The conference made a strong
statement against card playing. the
theater and dancing, but left any ac-
ton against them up to the lndlViu
ual. 1t is no longer possible to put
people on trial for indulging IN tnein'
while under the old legislation 1t was
possible to actually bring an offender
to trial, although 1t was never done
