list, now manager Of a Chestnut Hill cafe,

sacked earlier, Houck asserted.
The hold-up according to Houck, occurred
about ;15 o'clock this morning. His wife
and son are visiting relatives. Houck. as
he lit the gas in the dining room, says he
was confronted by two men. who poked
reyolvers in his face and compelled him to
submit to search.
The thieves interspersed their robbery
with witticisms, which were anything but
complimentary to their victim, the latter
aserts. Houek sat in dining room chair,
with hands elevated while the two intrud-
ers backed out of the front door and es-
capped. Houck then ran to the police sta
tion and reported his experience. A neigh
Dor informed the police that two men an
swering the description of the thieves had
been seen in an alley back of Houck's
home about two hours prior to Willis's
return

FILM FEATURE AT MAJESTIC THEATRE
 ID BE CONTINUED

Owing to the numerous requests of peo- pie who have been unable to see the performance of Where Are My Child ren?' at the Majestic theatre this week, the management of that theatre has de- cided to keep this film feature on its pro- gramme for the remainder of the week. This will prove welcome news to hun dreds who have been unable to gain ad mittance to the Majestic this week ow- ing to the fact that the house was sold out at every performance of Where Are My Children?'
 Only adult persons are allowed admis- sion to Where Are My Children?" on account of the delicacy of the theme of the photoplay. Commissioner Arlie Bar Der has passed on Where Are My Chill dren?" and has ruled that it is an ex- cellent picture for men and women but improper for children. This has result ed in the policy of the Majestic theatre being changed for this week in order to bar all boys and girls under 17 years of age from admission
 The record attendance to Where Are My Children?' has only been surpassed locally by the engagement of The Birth of a Nation,' another gigantic film pro- ductiOn

SENATOR BANKHEAD
 GIVEN SURPRISE
Reunion Committee Sends Refund Check to Senator,
 Who Makes Response
You almost took nv breath J

You almost took my breath"
 That is the way Senator Bankhead felt when he received from R. A. Brown, chairman of the reunion executive com mittee, check for the refund of 39 per cert of his donation to the entertain ment of the Confederate Veterans here this was the first entertainment fund he had ever subscribed to where the man. agers were able to pay all the expenses and return part of the contributions. He declared that the check came in good time as he immediately sent it to Scotts- vile, where they are to have a reunion and barbecue for the Confederate Veter- ans next month.
 The letter from Senator Bankhead fol- lows:
 Nlr. R. A. Brown, Chairman Executive
 Committee, U. c. V Reunion. B;rming-
 ham, Ala.
 My Dear MT. Brown: Your letter of the Sth inst. enclosing check for S9 per cent of the subscription made to the re- union fund at Birmingham is received You almost took my breath. This is the first reunion or any other fund I ever subscribed to where the manage ment was able to pay all the expenses and return a part of the contribution. You are to be congratulated. However, your check came in good time, and have sent the amount to a Confederate reunion at Scottsville, where they pro- pose tu give a barbecue and picnic in July.
 I was awfully sorry that I could not attend the reunion in Birmingham, but my duties here were of such a nature that I could not, in justice to the citi- zens of Alabama, leave at that time
 When I can be of service in any way, do not hesitate to call on me- Your friend. J. H. BANkHEAD.

kkV"1 HERE ARE MY CHILL
 NAf DREN?" the sensational
 W film drama now playing to capacity houses at the Majestic the atre is the talk of the town. Every one has either seen this dramatic photoplay or has heard about it and is going today or tomorrow. The great question appears to be to se- cure seats at the Majestic, as every one in town seems to be trying to see Where Are My Children?'' at the same time.
 Foreseeing early in the week the popular success of this great screen play the management of the Majestic planned to extend the engagement for the remainder of the week. They were able to make the necessary ar rangments yesterday and it is now definitely announced that Where Are My Children?' will be shown today and tomorrow for the benefit of the hundreds who have tried to gain ad- mittance to the Majestic theatre this week.
 The story of Where Are My Chil- dfen! IS one that teens with many possibilities It is in fact a severe ar raignment of modern society and the tendency of women for purely selfish reasons to avoid becoming mothers However, though the theme of the play is a delicate subject, the director has handled his scenes in such a man. her that no offense can be taken In fact though the play is barred to chil- dren, it is not a risque" affair, but owing to it's strong theme and the supposed ignorance of children of such matters, the authorities have ruled that it was best that only adult per- sons view the performance. And the adults of the city have viewed Where Are My Children?" this week to such an extent that the Majestic theatre has been crowded to the doors every afternoon and night.
 Nothing succeeds like success. and the patrons of the, movies are now heading towards the Majestic every day.
