'CALLSFOR AUTO
 AND IS ARRESTED
CHI. Hall Charged With ViO- lating Anti-Transporting
 Clause of Prohibit 8 ton Law

c. H. Hall, 'jisney' operator, was
 placed under arrest by Chief Martin Ea-
 gan yesterday and later transferred to
 the county authorities on a warrant charging a violation of the prohibition
 law.
 Hall called at police headquarters yes
 terday morning to claim a six-cylinder
 Stevens-Duryea in the possession of the
 police and his arrest followed.
 According to Chief Eagan, the police
 received a tip on Saturday night that
 liquors were being imported into this territory. Accordingly the big yellow automobile of the ''vigilances" was sent to the Trussville road with the following
 sleuths on board about o'clock Sunday
 morning: Detectives Patton, McGill,
 Alexander and Crump and Officer
 Whalen.
 At a point near Argo an unknown came bowling along through the night and when his automobile lights revealed the yellow police automobile he stopped and decamped to the nearby bushes be- fore the sleuths could lay the heavy hand of the law on him. However, the police found nine cases of excellent whisky and two pistols in the automobile. Automobile whisky and pistols were con- fiscated and are now in the hands of Chief Eagan. who is desirous of a per soral interview with the owner thereof. Hall called at police headquarters yes- terday and said he was the owner of the automobile, but that he knew nothing of the whisky However as the whisky was consigned to Hall, the police were under the impression that he knew some thing of the mysterious messenger of the night who brought the "firewater' from dear old Georgia into Birmingham.

At the Majestic

The Majestic wasn't crowded to capacity last night to see Dalvine the hypnotist but those that were there just laughed and laughed and kept on laughing. When it comes to producing 60 laughs to the minute. or laugh every second, Dalvine has made good and if ever an audience was in a continuous uproar it was that audience at the Majestic last night.
 Dalvine is a wonder and as an hypnotist no one ha sanything on him. He pre- sents one of the most interesting enter tainments that has been offered for a long time and his work can well be placed in the wonderful class.
 Dalvine is going to be at the Majestic all week and indications are that crowds will see him before the week is over. Because those folks who laughed them- selves hoarse last night are sure to talk about Dalvine and his interesting enter tainments. Manager Rettick has pro- vided good hynotic entertainment and he believes that crowded houses will be the order for the remainder of the week.

 This yearly entertainment for the boys in the country, broadening the spirit of the people of Atlanta, and is extending their influence throughout
 the country. It is giving the boys of the country a new view of life, and in- spires them to greater effort. rAmem- Der one incident in particular, where a lady entertained four boys in her home. This lady is famed for the excellence of her kitchens appointment. She showed the boys through the kitchen. One of them of a mechanical turn of mind. was especially interested in the manner in which hot water was at all times available. He examined the pump closely, and when he returned home, he rigged up a pump on the well, running pipe into his mothers kitchen in such a manner that she was provided with water at all times at the turn of a faucet. It paid that boys mother for him to visit Atlanta, and I have no doubt the lady who entertained him in her home felt repaid.
 T understand the Birmingham cham Der is starting its campaign tomorrow with very bright outlook for it's com plete success. I certainly wish this city everything well, and believe it has the
 material here to make wonderful Chamber of Commerce.
 "The question merely resolves itself down to this: Would any corporation bring in here expensive machinery which could do great things with the proper financial support, refuse to ex- tend that backing? Here you have an expensive organization. The business
 men who devote their time to 1t are high priced men. Can this city afford to have this machinery here without utilizing it? The city certainly cannot utilize 1t unless it spends a little money"

FOOTLIGHTS AND SCREEN
By RICHARD F. LussIER

THE entire gross receipts of
 Omar, the Tentmaker" at the Jefferson last week for three performances would not have paid the wages of the stage hands and this state of affairs is quite depressing to Manager Douglas.
 ''The people say,'' said Manager Douglas, "bring us some New York productions. I get them-and where are the people? Omar, the Ten maker with Guy Bates Post is the best piece that will visit the Jefferson this season. It did not receive the public support. Why? I am sure that I do not know. It is a costly and per- picking problem to meet"
 "Outcast," a play with a problem, comes to the Jefferson tonight. It is a meritorious production and it should receive the support of the local theat- tregoers. The question Is, Will it?
 If the great crowds that swept into the Strand theatre were an indication of the initial success of the first Tri- angle programme-then the affair was indeed a success. Sthl more indica- tive, however, was the fact that the audience applauded. Now when an audience applauds at a moving picture its some picture.
 ''The Lamb" with Douglass Fair banks, is some picture. It is of the peculiar Griffith style, although it was directed by w. Christy Cabanne, and the fellow that wrote the subheads was a genius. '"The Lamb' is more than worth seeing-it is necessary to the happiness of the genuine movie" fan to witness the unraveling of that remarkable film.
 Both "The Lam and My Valet will be at the Strand again today. Is it necessary to say more?

yesterday and which holds over for today. Harry Mestayer and Grace Darmond. of the Selig company, score personal successes in this latest feature on the V. l.. s. E. programme.
 After several weeks absence, owing to disastrous fire at Atlanta, "The Diamond From the Sky" serial returns to the Princess today. Danger Ahead" a Kalem picture featuring Helen Gibson. is also on the same bill.
 Alice of Hudson Bay" with Winifred Greenwood and Ed Coxen, popular favorites with the Ameri- can company. comes to the Odeon One today. It is a thrilling, heart throbhing story of the far north.
 Billy Sunday and his graft" or more properly speaking, his meth cd of earning a living, is pictured in "Comrade John,' a Pathe Balboa feature which pokes gentle satire at the advertising evangelist. ~Comrade John" will be shown to- day at the Odeon Two.
 A largebarty of the younger set were invited as guests to box party at the Lyric last night. The tickets for the box party were purchased very early and the treas urer of the Lyric promised faith fully that there would be no trouble in having 8 complete box for the party. However. when the party arrived, and the tickets had been taken up at the door, it was discovered that all the seats in all the boxes were occupied. It was also discover that others besides the party were also in the embar- rassing situation of not having seats for the tickets they held. The Lyric management kept on selling box seats as long as persons would buy last night when 1t was re- peatedly called to the attention of Manager Semon that all his boxes were full and those who held box seat tickets were forced to sit wherever they could. And Manager Semon howls at the lack of attend ance at his theatre.

At the Orpheum

 At the opening performances yester- day at the Orpheum, Princess LaCeil's Oriental Maids scored the biggest suc- cess of the season at the Orpheum theatre in their presentation of Para disc Alley
 Princess LaCeil proved to be the headline feature of the show and her graceful oriental dances were genu- inely artistic and greatly appreciated by every one who witnessed her per- formance.
 Princess LaCoil has the distinction of appearing in the larger cities throughout the country, and in com menting upon her efforts, it may be said that her work seemed to please the Orpheum patrons even better than the oriental dancing of Mme. Pelle- trau, whom it will be remembered. created a sensation in Birmingham some few months ago. Another pleasant surprise offered the Orpheum audiences was the reap pearance of the favorite chorister, Mae Bernard.
 Miss Bernard. a former member of the burlesque company and a popular favorite, appeared in acceptable style and received a hearty applause for her rendition of Everybody Rag With Me. '' Me-"
 Miss Bernard returned to Birming- ham after a stay in New York In burlesque, where she seemingly fitted herself for better work.
 Also Miss Isabella Drisdala. another of the burlesque patrons favorites. ap- peared very entertainingly in Para disc Alley" and her musical number, Angels Ragtime Ball." was one of the bright spots on the programme.
 Helena Hall. Esther Roberts, Charles Gramlich. assisted by the augmented chorus and the male quartet. were par ticularly pleasing in the songs and specialties.

Greene County Votes
 For Tick Eradication

Eutaw. November s.-(Special.) )-Greene county today held an election on the question of whether the tick eradica- ton law recently enacted by the legis- lature shall take effect in this county. The county voted almost solidly for the law, so much So that the result was a pleasant surprise to the most ardent friends of the movement The vote in Eutaw, the largest precinct in the county, stood 14c for and 5 against the law. This is fair indication of the result all over the county. In only two beats was there any real opposition, west Greene and Union. The county has all ready authorized the construction of a large number of dipping vats to supp plement private vats. Tick eradication is now moving forward rapidly to realiza- ton, and the time is not far distant when the county may be removed from the quarantine district.

was unusually appreciated and it was something new and original.
 Al Bush and Charles Gramltcl, seemed to be more enthusiastic in do- ing their comedy parts in Paradise Alley" both of them taking advantage of every opportunity to please Lew Click, Joe Mack and Tom Findley were very clever.
 With Princess L4aCeil in oriental dancing, larger and more attractive chorus and several of the favorites in their places again. 1t is more than likely that the Orpheum theatre will be crowded at-every performance of Paradise Alley.' this week as on Monday.
