AMUSEMENTS At the Lyric A pleasant feature of the bill pre sented last night at the Eyrie theatre is the varied character of the several acts. Each one is entirely different from the other yet. all combining to make the programme one of class and quality. The audience as a rule is a very fair critic and judging by the way it "warmed up" last night, the bill this week is one of the best of the season. In the Chinese fantasy, "The Green Beetle," one of the greatest dramatic acts in vaudeville is presented. The staging is gorgeous, the company j fully equal to the strong dramatic In cidents that develop. While the plot Is very improbable it is ingeniously con ceived and provides a splendid vehicle for the work of Frederick R. Seaton, who as "Moy Cow," easily carries the honor of the act. The act tells of the visit of a man and his wife to a Chinese curio shop where they are drugged, the man mur dered and his wife bourn away lo the Chinaman's home, where she is kept a pi «•!■ 15 years. The second scene takes i 1 ices 15 years later when the daughter of the woman visits the same shop. She is recognized by h^r mother by" means of the green beetle ring. She prevents the daughter being drugged as she was and scratches Moy Cow with a poisoned fan from the ef fects of which he dies. An attractive young personage, who is billed as Mae West, the eccentric commedienne, gave n most pleasing performance. While her act is Tan quuyese in part, it Is without the qrossness of that much advertised in dividual. Miss West gave other imi tations that were exceedingly clever. A decided novelty is the verlgraph, an optical sensation presenting some of the most remarkable pictures ever seen in the city. Ordinarily, there are but two dimensions in picture, breadth and height, but the verigraph shows another dimension, depth or the per spective. The scenes shown are among the most beautiful ever exhibited here, depicting places at home and abroad. The pictures are viewed through lorg nettes that are supplied the audience. Although his name would imply an Irish origin. Milt Collins gave a hum orous and philosophical monologue in the dialect of the Tuetons. As the "Speaker of the House" he is a scream, his droll sayings having the adde.I charm of originality. Fred Warren and Effle Conley pre sented a classy singing, dancing and playing number that Is very clever and pleasing. The three Melvin brothers in a sen sational acrobatic performance are one of the strong numbers of the bill. Their hand balancing and flying leaps bordered on the marvelous. A great animal act is that of Charles T'relle’s miniature circus introducing ns its climax the "Robery of the Over land Mail” in dog pantomime. The Evricscope closed a most excellent bill. C. H. M. At the Orphenm Vaudeville of a different class from that which was offered last week at the Orphenm Is to be seen there this week. The first half of the week contains five acts which might be ranked as very good throughout, and two of them can be classed as even better Than that. It is vaudeville similar to that which paokei the theatre all Inst season with capacity houses. Noodles Fagan, the noted millionaire newsboy, Is the all-week headliner of the bill, and be is refreshing. In the first place, he Is a funny looking fellow with a face the shape of the new moon, a smile that is contagious and a rapid fire of conversation that seems to appeal to tiie audiences, lie makes up Impromptu 1 verses to a medley an he goes along, ami these capture his audience. His lit tU* daughter, just 2 years old. seems to have her father's winning ways, for she joins him on the stage for a second, and is a riot. T he (Hookers, water Jugglers, present one of the novelties of vaudeville and an act that requires great dexterity and skill. Water in glasses, tumblers, buck ets. and finally large tubs, is juggled amt j tossed about "without spilling a drop." j Sheppard and Ashton present a combi nation of character singing, eccentrb comedy and piano playing which is en joyable and pleasing. The man at the piano is particularly good, and his facial expressions are immense. Paul Patch ing and company present "Schneider’s Musical Garden,’’ which is one of the old favorites of vaudeville, and still as pleasing as ever. The act is instrumental throughout, with a snatch or two of song, and both the members of this act are good musically. The stage setting represents a flower garden. Ray Randall and company, musical ventriloquist, forms a novelty, and one that tlie audiences liked very much. He is - lever and possesses that peculiar fac ulty of making Ids voice carry where he wills while singing as well as while talk ing. The motion picture feature film Is "The Fall of France," and is an excellent sub ject. splendidly acted, well featured and thrilling. At the Majestic One of the most interesting, educational and thrilling motion pictures that Bir mingham has ever witnessed is to he seen at the Majestic theatre this week in Paul .1. Rainey's African hunt, shown in six. reels. The pictures are of an entirely different nature from any that have been shown in the city before, for they portray the wild animals on their native heath, feeding, fighting, sleeping and playing. As an educational feature, especially in teresting to every school child and teach er. the pictures are remarkable. The Rainey hunt, as shown by the pic tures, consisted of about 350 people, in cluding scientists, camera men, motion picture men, hunterc, physicians and na tives. The expedition originally started out as a pleasure jaunt for the noted Cleveland sportsman, and afterwards ne came educational and for scientific re search. The pictures are the first mo tion pictures ever made of wild animals on such an elaborate and complete scale* and nothing made since has duplicated these. Tlie pictures include several that show the dangers of hunting the wild animals, the methods of killing them, how they arc captured and caged for stage and circus uses, their habits in their wild state, and many other features which are extremely interesting and instructive. Many animals that have never been seen in this country are shown In these pic tures. The management announces that the pictures will he shown four times daily intsead of continuously, the first at 2 o'clock, the second performance at 4 o'clock, the third at 7 o’clock and the last at 9 o'clock. DR. DUNBAR H. OGDEN TALKS ON INFLUENCE Large Attendance at Revival Services Being Held at First Presby terian , Church Great interest is being manifested in the revival at the Ftrst Presbyterian church, which began Sunday, and last night the attendance was very large. Dr. Dunbar H, Ogden, pastor of the Cen tral Presbyterian church at Atlanta, preached his first sermon last night. He made a visible impression on the con gregation. At illo noon service yesterday Dr. John S. Foster occupied the pulpit. There was a very good attendance and many busi ness men were to be seen in the audi ence. It is stressed by Dr. Foster that these services at noon will last only 50 minutes, closing at 12:50 without fall. I)r, Foster said he was pleased at the interest shown by business men, and says the time limit will not be exceeded at any service. Dr, Ogden’s subject last night was "In fluence,” He made four strong points. He said that influence was Inevitable, and that It was both conscious and un conscious; that people put. forth delib erate effort through the Influence of someone, and that unesnscious effort also was put forth through influence. His second point was that there was two kinds of influence, either spiritually uplifting or spiritually depressing, He illustrated this with a number of things that had come undeY his own observa tion and from Biblical stories, The third point brought out by the speaker was shadows, that being related to Influence, He said that shadows were always deepest over things which were nearest to them, He made a strong plea for the home, urging «tie putting forth of much personal spiritual effort among those with whom one comes in contact. The fourth point he wrought out was that shadows depended upon two things: Bight and substance, He said that If a man’s heart was right with God the shadow he shed in the light of God would be right, but that if his heart was not right with God he would east a shadow offensive to the sight of God.

That is in the grinding. By our process the wheat is not mashed between clumsy stones or worn-out iron rolls, but Is sharp cut on especially constructed chilled iron rolls which revolve rapidly against each other in op posite directions. This makes every particle of flour the same shape and size and is called “even granulation.” The little particles of flour are nearly eight sided, and being all of the same size the space between them is even, so that the yeast works evenly.
