COMEDY OFFERED 1E. LYRIC FEATURE.
Fun, Music And Novelties sssa Are Found On Program Opening Today

s.ComedS :. is the predominating ele- nient on the new bill which opens at the Lyric this afternoon, and it is said to be the most entertaining sort. However, there are other elements in the five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville. including song and nov elites.
 The first appearance of comedy is in the headline attraction. "Blunders,' with Harry L. Cooper and company. Farce is comedy laid on with broad Ibrush. It's fun value depends upon the wielder of the brush. Harry L. plies fun so thickly that his vehicle becomes an ultra burlesque. ''The Blunders" has to do with a gentle mans CD entry into society and his genuine gift of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. MT. Cooper is as- sisted by Frank Pickett and Req Chandler, who aid their star n.ateri- ally in making "Blunders" an ava lanche of fun.
 --T The added attraction brings on the song, as put over by Grace Hayes. Miss Hayes is known as the sensation of vaudeville. Within the last year she is credited with having flown to the top of her profession by her youth, talent and charm, and, of course, her voice.
 provided by Billy Bouncer in his "Bobbin' Up and Down." This is said to be an extremely original act, fur nfshing unlimited mirth to audiences.
 Rounding out the bill are Alan Coo- gan and Mary Casey in Bidding Her Good Night" and the Bruce Reynolds trio in Satire and Melody

ADJUSTMENTS
RACHMANINoFF CONCERT

Few artists who have ever ap- neared in Birmingham have ever at- tracted the attention that the great pianist composer, Sergei Rachmant- noff, is attracting incidental to ms appeara concert here on Tuesday evening, January 15, at the Masonic auditorium, when he will be present. ed by the All-Star Concerts.
 Music students especially are in- terested and the management Of the All-Star Concerts has made reserved the entire balcony for them at the nominal sum of 75 cents, plus war tax. so that many students of music may hear the great master of the piano.
 "Exchange tickets may be ob- tained by music students through their teachersf fthus enabling them to take advantage of the low prices.
 Rachmaninoffs critic at recent concert said:
 "Rachmaninoff, composer pianist, appearing in concert .at the audito- rum last night, was given an ovation that seldom is accorded an artist in St. Paul. With an audience that re- fused to leave the building at the completion of the schedule program until he had played two encores, the great Russian faced a barrage of ap- plause that lasted 10 solid and tumul- tuous minutes. There was no doubt of the sincerity of his reception"

He has the happy faculty of being able to banter with visitors one moment and the next to be deeply buried in d serious piece of business for his road, for his experience in railroad ing is exceedingly varied and rich. A brief sketch of his railroad activi- ties is as follows:
 After resigning from the Louis vile and Nashville railroad he went to Indianapolis, where he became agent for the Indianapolis. Decatur and Western railway. After two years he resigned to enter the serv- ice of the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City railroad, now part of the Nickel Plate system, serving as traip baggageman and express messenger for year, when he was promoted to chief clerk to the su- perintendent. He was next promoted to train dispatcher serving for about a year, when he again returned to train service with that company. For three years he was passenger con- ductor between Toledo and Frank ford, Ind, and between Frankford and St. Louis.

BLOSSOM TIME |S AGAIN ATTRACTION
Shubert 0pperetta Begins Re. turn Engagement At The
 Jefferson Tonight

Tonight, the Messrs. Shubert again present at the Jefferson theater for three days their greatest musical success, Blossom Time" based on the life of Franz Schubert, for the second time this season.
 Blossom Time" has proven the greatest musical success of the de- cade, not only playing at the Ambas- sador theater, New York, for over a year, and being the only play to have two companies present it simultane- ously on Broadway, but it's return en- gagement everywhere proves this op- eretta. with Franz Schubert's music, is undoubtedly one of the most de- lightful entertainments ever staged. With a score consisting of the fa- nous composers loveHest melodies. delicately woven into a story of Schubert's life, it represents the most distinguished musical prediction of the past few years.
 For those who didn't see 1t when it played earlier this season, the action of the play takes place in Vienna in 1926. before Schubert had reached fame. He falls in love with Mitzi kranz. daughter of the crown jew eler, to whom he has been giving music lessons. He composes a song in her honor. Too self-conscious to sing 1t to her himself, he asks his handsome friend, Baron von Schober, to do it for him. Meanwhile, Mitzi. who has already fallen very much in love with her inarticulate suitor. is led to believe by a jealous prima donna, bent on averaging herself on the baron, that Schubert is a rake. and so when the baron sings the inn passioned melody to her she falls into his embrace and precipitates the most tragic incident in Schubert's life. A splendid singing cast inter- press this charming love story here tonight, including Greek Evans, ia : nous baritone, as the Schubert" and Margaret Merle as "Mitzi."
 Tickets have been selling with .un- usual rapidity, but there are still some good seats, and those who anti. cipate seeing this attraction, and who do not, had best get their seats as early as possible today, or they will lind themselves once again unable to see Blossom Time" if they procrasti- nate this time in getting their seats early.

NEW SHOALS BID
 BY POWER TRUST
tContinued From Page One)

and dismissed the entire matter with the statement that "I haev started with Ford and will finish with him. Representatives Oliver. Almon, Bankhead and others of Alabama gave vent to expressions of identical tives Garrett of Tennessee, Crisp of Georgia and Byrnes of Tennessee companies in whose states are inter- ested, were likewise unmoved in their allegiance to Ford.
 Representative Hill, of Alabama. member of the military committee which will consider all offers made the following formal statement:
 The proposed offer of the Alabama Power company and other companies absolutely fails to meet the situa- ton in three fundamental parti 3u- lars.
 In the first place there is no as- water-power at Muscle Shoals or any part thereof, will be used for the manufacture of nitrates.
 To all disinterested citizens this is the paramount purpose for which the Muscle Shoals power should be used, so as to provide cheap and plentiful nitrate for the government trate for the farmers in time O. peace. For such cases Muscle Shoals was predestined by the federal de- fense action of 1916.
 Coolidges Remarks Recalled.
 Speaking of this project, President Coolidge in his annual message to congress in December said The great advantage of low priced ni- trates must be secured for the di- rect benefit of tn farmers and the indirect benefit of the public in time of peace and of the government in time of war. If this main object be money received for the property is not a primary or major considera- tion.''
 Tn the second place as to the money consideration, we must recog- nize the fact that the more attrac- tive the power companies offer lookss the more burden they will place up- on the peoples.
 The customers that Is to say, the people, generally, will pay whatever sum the power companies pay the government for the property.
 So far as the power companies are concerned, they could safely offer any srm for the property, knowing that the people will have to pay it, the government should apply the same principle in the lease of Muscle Shoals that it has applied in the mat ter of the Federal Farm Loan Bank, whereby the government enables the farmer to get money at a reasonable rate.
 "In the third place the proposed offer of the power companies, signed by all the big power companies of the states affected shows on the face of 1t the close relation and firm interlocking of these companies.
 An acceptance of the proposed offer of the kindred souls. the big power companies, means to give to them a monopoly of tho water power of all the states affected. I am more than convinced that the Ford offer is boon to the farmers, to the south and to the whole country.
