SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
WILL MEET //V THEATER
As a part of a campaign to build up
the biggest Sunday school in the State <>f
Texas, announcement was made at the
First Baptist Church yesterday that, b<
ginning next Sunday the ltusiness Men's
League of that church would meet every
Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock in the
l'alace Theater, on Houston Street, in-
stead of in the Sunday school room of
the church.
The Business Men's League is now said
to be the largest men s Sunday school
class in San Antonio, the attendance ire
quently being over 100. It is proposed to
build the (lass up to over 500. The class,
it is said, will be the only one in San
Antonio and one of but a very few in
the ('uited States to adopt the policy of
meeting outside of thi? church building
and appointing the meeting place in the
busy part of the city.
At' present the Baptist Church of Fort
Worth, ot which lie v. Frank Nourse is the
pastor, claims to hold the record of hav-
ing the largest Sunday school in the
I uited States.
Officers of the Sunday school of the
First Baptist Church of San Antonio have
announced their determination to exceed
the accomplishments of the Fort Worth
church.

CROSS EYE
Sufferers from this affection should consult a competent
CHIUOPKACTOIt and have its CAL'SK removed. This results
from pressure upon the nerve feeding the eyeball and sur-
rounding muscles. This pressure is due to the subluxation of
one of the small bones of the Spine between which the nerves
emit and as the CHIROPRACTOR makes an exhaustive study
of the spine and nerves he is well qualified to handle cases
of this kind.

CLAUDIA COLEMAN, LOCAL
GIRL, ON MAJESTIC BILL
Portrays Feminine Types—Doc Baker
Heads Picturesque Act Called
"Flashes."
A San Antonio #girl, Claudia Coleman,
better known here as Claudia Smith, who
i na portrayal of feminine types keeps the
audience in ;i prolonged fitter; Doc Baker,
the star of "rlashes,v whose momentary
changes of costume make him the top
noteher of the lightning-change "ar-
tists;" 'Don,'' a fox terrier, inebriated
despite the eighteenth amendment, and
1 rank Brown galloping all %ver the xylo-
phone briefly tell the story of the bill
at the Majestic theatre this week.
It has been, six or seven years since Miss
Coleman U;ft San Antonio. During her
residence here she often was seen in local
theatricals and from these it was but a
step for her into vaudeville. For two
or three years she managed to plug away
on the small time circuits and then she
"arrived** on the big time. The critics
generally have seen something of more
than passing worth in the laughable im
pressions or impersonations of the types
of her own sex she has seen fit to emu-
late. Her fellow San Antonians gave her
a cheering welcome at the three per-
form a nces yesterday.
Doc Baker, who heads the "Flashes"
revue is by no means a stranger to Sail
Antonians. Bygone seasons have brought
him to the city at the head of an inter-
esting girl act such as he now has, and
while he is a (lever entertainer he, too,
is wise enough to bring along other talent
as well. Miss Polly WalKer has the
feminine leod and there alio are the
Pearson Brothers, who step around brisk-
ly. An octette of chorus girls lend an at-
tractive background and their raiment is
in keeping with what the theatregoers ex-
pect ot the shapely young misses—some-
what abreviated, which, of course, is as
it rhould be.
"Don," not alone is a celebrity of the
speaking stage, but he has done his bit
in the movies along with such widely
known folk of filmland as Mary l'ick-
ford. This alert bow-wow will recall to
many ami perhaps regretfully so the days
when swinging door emporiums saved
many a liie. "Don's" impersonation ot
in i/i'iiites furnished tnucb joy tor the
audience and his owner and good friend.
Yokes, helps to carry on the illusion.
The scenic embellishments show the gay
city of Paris.
Frank Brown, the xylophonist. is a mar-
vel in how lie beats melody out of his
instrument. His olferiugs apparently fall
pleasantly upon the ears of his hearers
i«>r they called him baclc again and again
and ii <s pretty nearly a sure thing bet
that ho will get us much applause as
anyone.
Other offerings that help to round out
the bill are Howard Langford and Ina
Frederick in au oddity ot chatter called
"Shopping;' Willa and Harold Brown,
who deftiv build pictures out of rags, ami
the Appollo Duo. poses and juggling of
the heavy dumb beHa.
WISH RATE RETAINED
Counties Will Protest Abolition of Spe- !

The Princess Theater had urgent need
yesterday for the "S. K. (>." sign, but as
modern theatrical regulations no longer
permit the use of the "standing room only '
announcement, Manager Tinncy could only
let the crowds form in Hue in the lobby.
First performance fans all showed up yes-
terday for the opening performances of
the current bill of Loew's vaudeville, and
if the applause of three gigantic audi-
ences is to serve as a criterion, the new
bill is a dandy.
One portion of the program especially,
that kept the urowd talking as it tiled out
of the playhouse, was the performance of
Berry and Nickerson. The net is billed
as "The Prettiest Girl in Town," but the
title has little to do with it. The feature
is the cornet and trombone playing of
the team. We all have ample opportunity
to hear good music in San Antonio, but
it is seldom that one is given opportunity
to appreciate such a masterful demonstra-
tion of expert ccrnet and trombone play-
ing as is offered by Berry and Nicker-
son.
"The Office Boy" Is the title of the
headline act on the current bill, it is a
delightful comedy, running over with new
and clever "patter." Edt ie Carr is the
principal fun-maker and he is assisted by
Walter Kelly and Laura, Lawrence. The
Mystic Hanson Trio, heralded :is "The
Magical Man and His Mag)cal Maids," also
drew an abundance of applause. The act
is a combination of illusion and novelty
stunts working in harmony with songs and
dances.
Barlow, Banks & Gay offer a line of
songs and music that includes rag time,
j;i7.z and grand opera, anti incidentally,
the "baritone" member of tin* troupe has a
"bear-cat" of a voice and knows how t,o
get it to the audience in the best style.
Eva and Bell, iu "At the Soda Fountain,"
have an athletic act.
The screen offering is Charles Hay in
one of his latest and best- films, entitled
"The Busher." The story surrounds a
youth in a small village who makes good
In the big leagues as a wizard pitcher.
The honor, glamour and glory connected
with his rise in the baseball world go to
his head and the "yarn" eventually sees
liim ousted from the league in disgrace.
He goes bacK to the "tall grass" anil
■tarts all over again. <>f course he makes
good. Another episode of "The Third Eye'
is also being shown.
