America Likes Vaudeville

If anyone doubts that Americans
like vaudeville they have but to look
at the financial statements of one of
the large vaudeville booking organiza-
lions. During the first six months of
1924 when the legitimate theaters
were reporting slow times, this one
circuit, which ranks with the largest,
earned more than 100 per cent after
all charges were taken care of. The
previous year it paid 60 cents on the
outstanding capital also.

SHRINE CIRCUS Is
GRANTED PERMIT
Cloe Opposes Plea At Meeting
/ Of City Commission Tues
" 81 day Morning

Over the objection of Commissioner
W. b. Cloe, the city commission Tuesday
gave Zamora Temple permission for
holding Shrine Circus" March %
to April on a vacant lot on Seventh
avenue between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth streets.
CIoe protested bitterly against the
action. declaring the circus was nothing
but gambling scheme and was dis
grace to Masonry. He declared he
would not be embarrassed this year
rs he was last year by complaints
against the circus.
Ernest Matthews, past potentate and
chairman of the circus, presented a
petition explaining a feature of the
fircus wherein feathered darts were
TO be thrown at rings and those hit
ting the mark entitled the throwers
to prizes of merchandise cuch as hams,
fruit, bacons and other commodities.
" Within Law
a. City Attorney w. j. Wynn said the
sgame was apparently one of skill and
bot of chance, as Matthews declared
"A demonstration of the game will be
given the commission before the circus
"Opens, according to Matthews.
Cloe pointed to TIE delegation Of
Ehriners in the council chamber and de-
eiared that it amounted to almost a
threat of political death should the
petition be refused. I'm willing to
Hie politically today Cloe declared.
Cloe and Commissioner w. e. Dick
pom both stated they thought it had
been unfair to the commission for the
Shriners to make all plans and even
-Sell tickets before getting permission
bf the commission. Cloe declared it
was unfair to the three Masons on the
board and that he had rather with
Hraw from Masonry this morning than
sIsuffer the embarrassment l did at
z the last circus"
* DR.. II. G. Crelly, present shrine
: potentate, told the commission, and
.aEloe in particular, that the circus and
the games would not violate the law
Rnd were considered legal He pledged
IBIS word that no law would be vic.
lated as long as he was potentate
-pf Zamora Temple.
Not Their Business
All commissioners except Cloe took
the position that the board had nothing
to do with the policy of the Shrine
putting on the circus and that they
were bound to ALLOW it if it camt within
the law. All voted for the permit
except Cloe. Cloe accused other com
hissioners, and especially Dickson, OF
being afraid to lose 1000 votes; that
being the approximate number OF
Shriners in Birmingham.
A few minutes before the shrine
circus was brought up, the commission
granted permission for years license
10 Hugh w. Hill, local amusement
;so.fxhibitor, to exhibit shows through the
aHinter in the suburbs. The vote was
unanimous for the permit. with Com.
missioner Dickson not voting Dick.
