LYRICS SEASON
 GETS UNDER WAY
Big Time Keith Vaude. E, vile Back In Birming-
 ham Again

It seemed that Cecil Cunnineham's wardrobe struck detour between here md Pittsburg so that her initial appear ance at the Lyric was under somewhat adverse circumstances. But she did bring along her charming personality and her imitable way of getting her act across 50 that her debut, 50 far as the audience and the premier of the theatres fall season were concerned, was crowned with success.
 Miss Cunningham was on the stage only little while-far too small time for her auditors-but during that space she scored several distinct hits and quite made up for any shortage in her songs.
 Besides the headliner the program of- fered other amusing bits which turned toward making the opening pleasur- able affair. Music, songs, batter, steps, mysticism, run of slap-st;ck, and motion pictures which included, fortunately, the inevitable Felix, com bined to the result of satisfying and well-balanced bill. :
 Guy Sampsel and Lily Leonard, a duo who appeared in '.rhe Woman Haters' club" were perhaps the run ners-up to Miss Cunningham. Inter- spersed between catchy tunes the pair offers snappy line of give-and-take.
 Another laughahla net built upon different lines was given by Stanley and Nelson, who might rank anyplace from acrobats to clowns. By joining

ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEw'S BIJOU

There are several commendable fea- lures about the bill that opened at Loew's Bijou Monday. In fact 1t pro vides such bounty of good bits that 1t Is difficult to select any number dis tinctively outstanding.
 From the reception accorded the vari- ous acts by the audience, however, hon ors apparently go to Jean Barrios, a falsetto singer of very seductive type, and Stutz and Bingham, whose comedy sketch comes near stopping the show. The novelty dancing skit Let's Dance'' sprinkled with eccentric steps with a clever interpretation of the Dance of the Wooden Soldiers" is one of the most vivacious dancing act billed in Birmingham this summer.
 A superior balancing and acrobatic act by Oballa and Andrienne led the bill. These artists attempted the new CT stunts and were successful. A lit tie China romance by Sherlock and Hinton with songs and dances is quite in line with the Loew's vaudeville idea of versatility.
 Being a fool has certainly attained the standards of artistry, and number of laughs that any normal audience produces will prove it. "The Woman's Home Companion" title which Stutz gave himself, has good voice, and several new attitudes in which to sing songs. provides laughs, and gives sentimentality another fatal kick.
 Jackie Coogan in Little Robinson Crusoe" gives Jackie a chance to show what he can really do. Critics say that every Coogan picture increases Jackie's horizon, and that scenario writers can never be sure what typt of picture he will play next
 The bill is one of the most interest ing and entertaining of all those this season.
 AT WEST LAKE
 Watson's Bell Hops, an orchestra which has delighted hundreds of dance devotees in Birmingham, has returned for an engagement at West Lake. Known all over the south as syncocat- CTS par excellence, the Bell Hops are expected to draw new and larger crowds to West Lake which by now is held to have become the dancing center of Birmingham, Bessemer, Ensley and Fairfield.
 But dancing isn't everything, of course. Swimming and boating, with a good deal of fishing thrown in, ap- peal to many the lake lures many on these scores. Bowling and trap shoot ing also are forms of diversion which attract. Picnics, too, are still in sea- son, and many are expected to dine un- der the trees ere the frost hits the pumpkins.
 With the temperature still high in the nineties, swimming in the evening is proving most popular. A swim, din ner and dance form a fine combination, judging by the program followed by scores who frequent the lake.

Professionals

The country's full OF gifted hicks
throughout their lives they blithely
hump to save our bulwarks from the
dump. and our palladiums to guard
but honest tolls forever barred:
Their hands unmarked by any toll
save that OF ,clawing for the spoil,
their backs ungalled by any load save
that by patronage bestowed, they
gain the envy Of the jay who bears
the burden OF the day. I'd like to
see our statesmen come from tacto-
ries where bobbinS hum, from har-
vest fields where men perspire and
prove they're worthy OF their hire !;
and when they've served term or
two. and made our bulwarkS good as
new, Id like to see them take their.
way to Changing mills and helds OF
hay. The chronic statesman doesn
know the men who work, who piow
and SOW: in his pursuits he's never
found the men who make the wheels
go round We all admire that an
cient gent whose days with cabbages
were spent. who set his hens and
groomed his bees, and sprayed his
blooming nutmeg trees. When Rome
confronted deadly harm. they
dragged the old man from his farm ::
he set things right in seven shakes
and then went back to hoes and
rakes, to pIowing corn and stringing
beans, and harvesting his canned sar-
dimes. The worth of any mans de-
cayed when politics becomes his
trade.
