EVA3T ANClJAY
TO PLAY HERE

Birmingham is one Of the six south
ern cities that will see Eva Tanguay,
eccentric singing, dancing and pranc-
ing coincidence, making her first. tour
of the southern states.
The woman who for more than ten
years has been the brightest star in
vaudeville and musical productions will
play an entire week at the Lyric thea
tire here during the week of April 20.
Confirmation of the Tanguay date
was received Friday by Ed Raymond,
Lyric manager, from the offices of the
Interstate circuit in whose theatres the
stepping Tanguay is now crashing
Texas audiences.
/ Tanguay's weeks salary check while
she trods the boards at the Lyric here
will be greater than the amount re-
ceived by Calvin Coolidge for running
the United States and listening in on
the score, of Investigations on in Wash
ington. &
Tanguay now is showing in Texas
where for four weeks newspaper critics
have been adding more adjectiyes to the
already endless chain that has ben
heaped upon her. These reports indi-
cate that her act this season is superior
to those she has offered in New York
and other sections of the country in the
half score of years she has been behind
the foOtlights.

OLD CROP STRENGTH
FEATURE OF COTTON

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE out
standing feature of the cotton market
during the past week has been the
strength of the old crop situation as
reflected both by reports from the spot
, markets and by the urgent covering
of May and July positions in the flu
lures market here. There were sharp
reactions at the beginning of the week
and again on Wednesday, but they
were checked by continued demand
from trade and speculative shorts and
the advance extended to 31.95c for May
contracts on Thursday morning, making
a recovery of 512 cents per pound
from the low level touched toward the
end Of March.
The demand for new crop positions
was much less urgent, but they were
pulled up. b. the strength of near
months and October sold as high as
26.O1c, compared with 23.45c, the low
price of March s27. At these figures
realizing became more active, and gen.
eral while the demand tapered off con-
siderably and there were sharp reac-

there was little or no change in the
generally bullish character of south-
ern spot advices. Both Liverpool and
the continent were reported bidding
for spot cotton in the southern markets
and further sales have been reported
out of the local stock with today's
Hdvices interesting additional bookings

from New York during the last half of

The certi6cated stock here now
amounts to about 117,00O bales and

he end of the month"; Shipments are
believed to be pending to Liverpool,
