SUNDAY MOVIES UP ID THE PEOPLE Should Settle Matter and Get on to More Imp0r-
 tant Matters

T believe the question of Sunday moving pictures should be either dropped by the people or referred to them on the referendum" said w. O. Broyles, who is always we'll posted on the issues of the day. T believe the people should have the Sunday mov- ing picture shows if they demand them If they don't want them they should be closed on Sunday.
 There has been a great deal of discussion on the subject of movies lately, but think there are more mo- mentous questions to be decided by the men in office. The city's affairs should be taken up in order and some way of pleasing the people in the matter of police and fire protection. the elim- ination of the fee for school children and the turning on of all the lights in the city, should be carefully weighed and if possible something definite should be done. It issa big job and the commissioners have task to perform in fixing up these matters to suit the people. We have one of the most pros porous and thriving communities in the south and there should be remedy for our inadequate police and fire depart ments. The man who solves these prob lems will be the man of the hour in this city and I hope he will bob up soon."

representative in the legislature. From the day he attained his majority he leapt forward in the public eye. In the legislature he was especially ac- tive in matters of interest to Birming- ham. He is the author of the initia- tive and referendum feature of the present five commissioner law.
 John R. Hornady is well known newspaper man. He has never held public office and his main bid for hon. ors is his knowledge of the workings of the commission form of government. It was largely due to the efforts Of Mir. Hornady that the old aldermanic form was given the twilight sleep treatment about four years ago.
 John D. Truss Is resident of East Lake. He is a well known civil engi- neer and he made his race on a plat form that the city of Birmingham need ed an expert engineer as well as poli- ticians to run the civic engine.

ADJUSTMENTS
MThe Red Rose"

When '"rhe Red Nose' the big musical comedy offering now enjoying unprece- dented popularity, is presented by John C. Fisher at the Jefferson Wednesday, matinee and night, there will be seen the most perfectly trained chorus that ever embellished a musical comedy. Dur ing the 15O performances of ''The Red Nose" in New York, this clever aggre- gation of girls proved an irresistible box office attraction not only from the fact of their more than usual personal charms but also from the decidedly novel dane ing numbers in which they were en- gagged under the careful training of John c. Fisher, who has no equal in the ex- ploitation of a chorus as many of the theatregoers remember his world famed s'FIoradora Sextet."

the popular theatre with vaudeville as the chief attraction. The bills at this house during the past few weeks have been excellent and the theatregoers of have shown their appre- citation bY a liberal support. The bill at this popular playhouse this week, while not up to the high standard of the many excellent bills that have been put on from week to week, is, neverthe- less, good. It is remarkable that Man ager Semon has been able to give the public such fine attractions on the popular price plan and when one con- siders the number of really high class attractions that have come to the Lyric lately one cannot help but be booster for the theatre as well as the man ager.
 The act which received the most ap- plause and apparently pleased the au- dience best was the exhibition of Yam kee and Dixie. two fox terrier dogs, who perform stunts with "almost hu- man intelligence" The canines are ex- cellently trained and go through their tricks without effort. They possess rare intelligence and their balancing on a swinging wire is one of the most dif- ficult and unique pieces of work that has ever been performed by animals.
 Dorothy Meuther proved to be a com- edienne of ability and made her act get over with the audience in great style. Some of her songs are original and well rendered. her business being of the high class variety. She has a very pleasing voice and has the re- quired magnetism and personality to make good.
 Harris and Manion were the direct means of provoking much mirth in their act booked Uncle Jerry at the Opera" They are a versatile pair of entertainers and have some good lines that are brim full of wit that causes laughter. MT. Manion has a good tenor voice and his rendition of the Irish song was fine. MT. Harris as Uncle Jerry" played the part of the nick" creditably.
 Cabaret Girl" is the way an act con sisting of 15 people Is billed. They oc- cupy the stage for 30 minutes laura Nivel played the violin well and is the one mark of good looks which redeems this particular phase of the act.

very simple. Any person who has an advertising idea has simply to write it and offer it to some Age-Herald ad- vertiser to run for him. His name will be taken and that will entitle him to one vote in the convention. At the com vention all the delegates will ballot ana the best written advertisement will be chosen by a majority vote. The lucky delegate will receive $750 player-p piano for his trouble,
 And thus it can be easily under- stood that the convention will be a very democratic affair. There are no embarrassing conditions-al you have to do Is write an advertisement and get it printed in The Age Herald. It is simplicity itself.
