PASSING SHOW
 SCORES SUCCESS
Shubert's Delightful Musical Extravaganza Pleases First
 Night House

There's laugh in almost every line of 'The Passing Show," which began a three-day engagement at the Jefferson theatre Thursday night.
 It is another Shubert production with catchy music, excellent dancing, dazzling costumes, vast ensemble and Willie Howard, the cleverest far ceur of the season.
 Howard made hit here a year ago, but he is much better this trip. He has a remarkable running line of chat ter that never misses. His best work is in the trio from Faust and in the scene where he is cast as a photograph clerk.
 There are 21 scenes and Mir. Howard does great deal for 10 of them. A packed house ,rOared at his comedy and always called him back for more.
 The cast is partly the same which presented 'The Passing Show" in New York. There are many pretty girls and most of the musical numbers are new.
 The Lockfords, novelty dancing couple, furnished number of thrillers, particularly the ballet of Siam" and the Apache dance."
 '"The Ok Joke Attic" spread before tHe audlence near tne clOSe or tne flrSt act, turned out to be filled with many brand-new ones.
 Other high points are "A Study in Black and White," which opens the play; First, Last and Always" and Camps Daily Dozen" in the first act, and Love of Long Ago and "Elean- or" in the last act
 'The Passing Show is one of the outstanding musical comedies of the season. It is in Birmingham for three more performances and should do well.

 Erskine Ramsay, former president of the Birmingham Kiwanians and one of the staunchest friends that Ensley ever had, presided until William E., Turnipseed .,as5 president, was given charge. Mir. Ramsay congratulated Ensley upon having formed among its business men a Kiwanis organization. and suggested that many lasting things might be accomplished with the co- operation of the Kiwanians and the residents of this community. He paid a high compliment to the various of ficials and impressed upon them the responsibility which accompanied them into office, saying that ot direct body of 70 men in the business world was a job that required no mean skill and diplomacy and that to maintain cooperation and the pulling power necessary in civic progress it was de- sirable that the utmost patience and understanding be maintained.
 Officials Introduced
 The address of MT. Ramsay was fol- lowed by introduction of the officials. Mir. Turnipseed said that the club was ambitious to serve this section and that the good of the club in Birming- ham had been so noteworthy as to be followed as an example by the younger club in Ensley.

AT THE LYRIC.

There are five vaudeville acts on the Lyric program. Any one of them would be- sufficient to rescue the bill from mediocrity. There was a fresh- ness and vivacity to them all that placed them well above the regular vaudeville standard.
 Last on the program but first in the esteem of the audience was the Tom Davis trio, referred to on the program as the "sensa tional motorists" The trio consists of three motorcyclists who ride at terrific speed in a sort of huge inverted cone, sometimes one, some times two and once or twice, when an especially thrilling affect was desired, all three at a time. Once the cone shaped apparatus was lifted bodily from the stage and suspended in mid- air while the rider rode on as though nothing had happened. This act com pines unusual skill and novelty.
 Tom Kelly, subtitled That Irish man," showed that he had a good voice for singing purposes and for mono logue as we'll Being Irish, he con- fined both his songs and his jokes to Irish subjects.
 Much could be said for Likes and Dislikes," comedy playlet by Edwin Burke, and the three members of the abbreviated cast. It has a moral, said moral being that the best way to make fellow like you is to show. him that you like him; but even these stock characters can be made to do and say interesting and laughable things. Mar ion Murry, Carroll c. Lucas and. Del W. Sherrard are their names in real life.
 Cason Brothers and Marie gave some interesting dancing numbers and were followed by Burke. Walsh and Nina in an amusing sketch. There were. also the usual Fox comedies, Aesop's fa- bles, Pathe news and Topics of the Day to complete the program.

 While the Shenandoah floundered oyer northern New Jersey, there were hundreds of amateur stations which might have received messages from the ship had it been equipped with a suit able wave length.
