Talking In Elevators

trcm the Chicago Post.
 When the Book Of yyowntown Eti- quette' comes to be written, we trust that the first "don't'' will be:
 Don't speak abound the name of an ac- auaintance when met in a crowded ele- vator.
 And the second rule should be like unto it:
 Don't discuss anything, not even the weather, in a crowded elevator"
 For a crowded elevator Is Ike a Tee ture platform under intensive conditions. Ii is a rostrum. around which breath less audience is gathered. Any word ut tered catches instanly the whole and eager attention of the car, because usu- ally the car has nothing else to seize upo,, in order to pass the time of ascent or descent.
 It is thus just as if the word tossed across to a. friend were spoken Ioundly from lecture platform. It canno. go to the friends ear alone. Other auditors are crowded too closely about.
 In the same way the mere calling out of a friends name before the tense au- dience in the car has the effect of in- trodcing to a lecture crowd a speaker who has nothing at all to say. His would be hearers fix their eyes expectantly upon the personality thus revealed to them and expect it to offer something for their en- tertainment. The failure to do so seems to produce sort of silent contempt
 The whole performance is uncomfort- able. Which means that it is bad man. ners. 'No Talking Allowed" would be an elevator that many a harassed citizen would bless.

KEELING TT OFF

entire year on Broadway and the pic- turization of the great comedy has add ed to, rather than taken from, it's merit.
 MT. Buttles" a double-mask exposure production, will be shown at the Odeon One this week. This Is one of the most remarkable pictures ever received in Btr- mingham. Bryant Washburn who por- trays the part of the earl also enacts the role of a newspaper man and the but Ter in the same scenes. He, as a news paper man, approaches the earIs home. He as butler, lets his newspaper per- sonality in to interview himself, as an earl. all three of the characters being shown in the room at the same time.
 The remarkable effect is attained by making three exposures of each scene, masking each scene before taking the next. This form of photograph is un- usually hard and the greatest care is necessary in order that the movements of the principal might correspond prop erly when placed on the screen. It Is a great production
 Daughters of Men' will be the offer ing at the Odeon Two Monday It is a. picture of modern times. a drama of the higher type and will. appeal to the best side of those who view 1t.

Country Boy ran for an entire season on
 Broadway and that it continued on tour
 as one of the most genuine and prolonged
 successes on record. The simplicity and
 appealing quality of the story fascinated
 theatregoers throughout the country-and
 the theme of the boy from the small town
 who loses his way in the big city is eter-
 nally popular.
 Tom Wilson is the name of the boy, who lives with his mother and has a very high opinion of himself. He is in love with the daughter of the local judge, and finally, confident in his own ability, decides to go to New York and win a fortune which will enable him to marry his sweetheart and take care of her osi the manner to which she mas been ac- customed.
 Once In the city, Tom meets types that are to him new strange and allur- ing. His male acquaintances are un- usual, including a ticket speculator and a newspaper man. but not really bad The fiirl on whom he sets his fancy, however, is a chorus girl who, imposing on his credulity. amuses herself with him just to provoke her lover. His life in the city becomes known to the jpeo- pie at home, he loses his position and finds himself in such disgrace that he lcontemplates suicide. In the end, how ever, he goes back to the small town a sadder and wiser and more sincere man for his experience in tho metropolis. where hearts of men arc tred-and the weak found wanting.

WILLIAM H. CRANE TO BE
 SEEN IN "DAVTD HARTJM"

An unusual photoplay attraction is of fered at the Odeon Two this week, where a Famous Players-P Paramount five-part feature presents the celebrated character star, William IT. Crane, in a film version Of his famous stage success, David Ha- rum" one of the most conspicuous tri- umphs of modern American fiction and drama, by the late Edward Moves West colt MT. Crane, of course, portrays the title role, and the screen impersonation of this delightful character is as excellent as, and even more amusing, than that of the original production. The film version is much more comprehensive than the and David's tricks O the trade,' in his loved "horse- and his good-natured practical jokes, are visualized.
 David Harum never forgets a friend or lets an injury maliciously done go unre- taliated When David was child, a courteous neighbor took the neglected lt- tie country boy to circus. treating him to red lemonade and all the trimmings and when In later years, that boy, David Harum, has grown to manhood and again meets his benefaetors widow. he gives her the deed of her home about to be taken from her. and calls the loan of day of happiness square. That is the key
