SECOND SECTION 0F CREATION DRAMA BijOu Packed to See Moving Pictures of Israelites
 in Egypt

The showing of the second section of the photo drama of Creation, p which is being exhibited at the Bijou theatre for 30 days under the auspices of the International Bible Students as- sociation began yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock
 The Bijou was packed to the door and several hundred people. it Is estimated were turned away. Many waited un- til the intermission when an oppor- tunity was given to occupy seats that were vacated. There will be two show ings of the pictures each day this week Next week part three will be shown
 Part two is even more beautiful than the first part of the pictures dealing with the adventure and trials of the Israelites while in bondage in Egypt One of the most striking scenes shown yesterday was "the Passover" Moses and Aaron and the elders are shown pleading with Pharaoh to let the He- brews go into Canaan. Moses is repre- sented as tall and stately with robes of rich plum color. Aaron is dressed in clothing similar to that which is still worn by the Arabs.
 Next the pictures show the prepara- tions for the passover at the door of each house.
 The blood of a lamb Is poured out and the carcass taken within to be pre- pared and roasted whole, and the blood sprinkled upon the door posts and upon the lintels with great solemnity Then follows the scene of the eating of the passover, with thanks to God that the first born of Israel is deliv- cred.
 Next comes several thrilling scenes There is the death of the first born of Egypt King Pharaoh's only son and heir. The laborer's child dies. All the first borns are present in the great temple-the Egyptian mourning. Then enter Moses, Aaron and the elders to make a final plea that the Egyptians shall release the Israelites and not bring further divine displeasure and punishment upon themselves. This |tenth plague melts the hard hearted Pharaoh and he bids them go.
 The next scene shows the Israelites on foot on camels, on donkeys, with flocks and herds, old and young. de- parting out of Egypt. It is a thrilling, Interesting scene, and all very natural. The acting is excellent and the char acters realistic. the lecturer explaining the meaning of all that Is shown so simply that both old and young may understand.

.F|FTEEN-YEAR-OLD !. BOY FATALLY
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Jesse Penny Dies at Infirm- ary After Accident Satur- day-His Father Is Also
 Seriously Injured

Jessie Penny. aged 15 years died yesterday morning about 5 o'clock from injuries received in an automo- bile accident Saturday afternoon about two miles west of Ensley. At the time of the accident Commodore Penny. father of the boy, was also severely injured.
 According to the elder Mir. Penny. who resides at No. mine few miles west of Pratt City, he had bought an automobile for his son a few days ago so that the boy could operate a taxi cab line between the mines and Ensley during vacation this summer.
 Yesterday afternoon father and son started out on their initial trip in the new automobile. Something went wrong with the steering gear about two miles west of Ensley, and be- fore either of the occupants could get out the car plunged down steep em- bankment and overturned, burying both beneath the wreckage.
 Both were knocked unconscious, but the father recovered after a few min utes and began trying to get out from under the wrecked automobile which he feared would take fire at any min ute. The efforts of Mir Penny to re- lease himself cost him his wooden leg for he wrenched the false limb off and got out The father then by hercu- lean efforts dragged his unconscious son from beneath the car before it took fire.
 The ambulance of Echols & Angwin was summoned and brought young Penny to an infirmary where he died yesterday morning. The elder MT Penny while terribly bruised is ex- pected to recover.
 Funeral arrangements over the re- mains of young Penny will be an- nounced later.
