his powers should be enlarged. The jul

Montgomery, January 1l-(Special.)
Edward Johnston tonight issued a state
ment in which he declares that he ap-
proaches the election of a speaker of
the house confident in the fact that his
supporters will go serenely through the
ordeal and will stick firmly to him in his
race against A. H. Carmichael, his op-
ponent.
Following is Mr.. Johnston's statement:
I'VE have consistently declined to make
any specific claim. We have fought the
best and cleanest fight we knew how,
and approach the showdown without re-
greet and without any deals and without
any influence impellng us except pledges
made to the people and the knowledge
that the procedure, methods and plans
OF our opponents are indefensiple and
deserved attack. The ultimate decision
is with the people.
Governor Hendersons fine and frank
and manly demand that his administers
ton be given square deal has made us
enthusiastic and proud of his leadership,
and we approach the result with the
knowledge that the true friends of demo-
cratic faith and fairness will go serenely
through the ordeal and that the feather
legged will show up when they have
passed through the fire.

colored motion picture at the Majestic
theatre in continuous performance from
| noon to 10 o'clock at night. Those who
braved the elements yesterday and wit
messed the picture were amply repaid,
| for whether they Wee of a deeply re-
| ligious nature. merely seeking for his
| torical event wildly told in pictures or
a devotee of the motion picture, the pic
lures more than fulfilled the expecta-
| tons.
The drama is contained in seven reels
of natural-colcred pictures, and to the
eye they are most beautiful and pleas
ing. They show the Holy Land as one
has been taught to believe it existed i'll
the days of Christ and during the Roman
conquest. The lowly shepherds are shown
tending their flock and the wonderful
star guiding the wise men to Christ $
birth place; the infant In the cradle of
| straw, the wise men, the young Christ,
while yet boy "going about His Mas
| ters business, and so on through His
J Travel on earth. Each picture and each
scene is reverently approached and
handled with delicacy that cannot Of
| fend even the most religious nature.
The picture has an educational value.
| for in the hour and half spent at the
| Majestic, the Sunday school scholar can
obtain a true picture of the Holy Land
| and the events surrounding the life of
Christ that can scarcely be obtained in
| any other way. That 1t breaches the
| spirit of the gospel cannot be questioned
| by any one who sees the pictures, for
| the life of love and sacrifice that Christ
| led Is pictured in a convincing, stirring
| manner that leaves its impression.
| That the pictures are reverent in their
| spirit is evidenced by the fact that sew
| eral prominent ministers of Birmingham
were present yesterday at the inyiN-
| ton of the management, and each of
them spoke a word of praise for the pic
: lures and their religious, historical and
educational value.
Some of the most striking scenes IL
Illustrated may be enumerated as follows:
The birth of Christ: the flight from
Egypt; the Master in the temple: His
being taught by Joseph. His foster
walking upon the water; healing the
cripple making the blind see; raising the
dead; converting the water into wine
the Last supper: His betrayal by Judas;
Christ before Plate; trudging up the
mountain with the cross; the crucifixon
on Mount Cavalry; the descent from the
cross; the burial; the resurrection. with
the disciples on the mountain; the as
cension, and many others too numerous
to be mentioned.

Jefferson tonight and matinee and night
tomorrow There are many reasons why
"The Old Homestead has been so sue
cessful for 20 years. One of the most i'm
poratant of them is that the characters
are drawn from real life. The audience
seems to appreciate the fact that Cy
Prime, Aunt Matilda, Seth Perkins, Rick
ETY. Ann, Eb Ganzey, and dear Uncle
Josh are real, live people and not fictions
of the authors imagination. Denman
Thompson lived among these people for
many years before he gave Uncle Josh

At The Lyric

Arthur Prince, the marvellous Eng
l.sh ventriloquist. is the headlincr at
the Lyric this week. Mr. Prince is a
Nentriloquist who entertains. Unlike
the remainder of the species of genus
homo who obtain money under false
rretenses by lingering on an otherwise
harmless stage for Is minutes jabber-
ing with a mummy, Mr.. Prince does not
act as a cool insomnia, but is very
clever.
For upward of 20 minutes last night
MIR. Prince kept the unusually large
Monday night audience in a merry
mood. His jests and quips were SO
laughable that one person was greatly
embarrassed by an overabundance of
merriment which attracted nearly as
much attention as the paid performer
on the stagte. Mr.. Prince is certain
to prove delightful the remainder of
the week to all the patrons OF the
Lyric.
He is advertised as the worlds
greatest ventriloquist and after wit
Messing his act there does not appear
any legitimate reason to doubt the
claims of the advertiser. He Iuite
probably is the greatest ventrlonuist,
certainly he is the cleverest, that has
appeared in Birmingham.
Billy F'ogarty, who was unanimous
ly elected last night to the Birming
ham lodge of the Young Nuts of
America" amused while his partner,
Miss Ethel Kirk. changed gowns
Fogarty and his beautifully gowned
partner, Miss Kirk, kept the audience
in an uproar for Is minutes and that IS
what they were paid to do.
Jud and Ethel Dooley have been seer
in the city before and, unlike other
acts. are welcome back again.
AS for the remainder of the bill, 1t
is in accordance with the average vau-
6eville fillers-in. and amused some and
bored others. On the whole 1t is rather
fair. The pictures are quite good
