By RICHARD F. LUssIER

aid to the camera is the wonderful scenes photographed near Venice.
 Souls Enchanted'' is a story of passionate love, and like all such fervid tales it knocks several dents into the moral code as it is generally accepted. However, Souls Enchained" is more of pretty love story than a than mere naughty picture.
 In The Catspaw" released on the Gleine- Edison programme which will be shown at the Rialto theatre today the movie patrons of Birmingham will have the opportunity of seeing a most pleasing picture. "The Catspaw' has all the elements that go to make a good feature. The story is clever, the acting of Mare McDermott and Miriam Nesbitt is beyong reproach and care and great skill has been dis mere anuShty picture.
 A grim story of womanly sacrifice for love is portrayed in 'The Reckon ing Flanle, Kay Bee-Triangle feat ure which will be shown at the Colon ial today with Henry Woodruff as the star. The action of the picture takes place in India.
 An English commissioner rescues an Indian nobleman's daughter just as she is being forced to sacrifice herself on the pyre of her husband. It was customary in the early days of India for the widow of a man to mount the burning pile of wood on which her husband was being consumed. The Englishman keeps the Indian girl at his home dressed as a boy, and the girl suffers great mental anguish as she watches her protector make love to his fiancee. The father of the h. dian girl makes complaint to the government and a search is ordered of the Englishman's home. To protect his honor the Indian girl sets fire to the bungalow and dies martyr to blind devotion.
 The Misleading Lady, in which Henry B. Walthall and Edna Mayo are featured pleased the patrons of the Trianon very much yesterday. This Essanay V. |. S. F. feature will be shown again today. The story of the picture shows the tanning of wild fiirt by cave man.
 By Love Redeemed a three-part Vitagraph drama, in which the beautiful Jewel Hunt is starred, will be shown at the Princess theatre to- ? day. Chickens" a one-reel Vim comedy, is also on today's Princess programme.
 The Battle Cry of Peace, pictured by the Vitagraph company from Hud- son Maxim's 'Defenseless America" Will begin an all-week engagement at the Alcazar today. Manager S. S. Griffin anticipates that all attendance records for a local photoplay theatre will be sahttered by the phenomenal popularity of The Battle Cry of $ Peace In all parts of the country this picture has proved a lobby crusher,' in the parlance of the ex- hibitor.

War Losses small in the New York Life

The New York Life insurance com-l pany's seventy-first annual report pub-l lished in another column, throws a very interesting light upon the comparative losses from war and disease, and also upon American war losses. The war seems to have had no appreciable effect upon the company's average mortality, ana more has been paid in war losses onI American lives-including LusitanIa |losses-than upon the lives of citizens of any of the warning countries except those of France and Germany During l9l3 400 policyholders were killed in battle, AS were killed by accident, 707 died oil cancer, 772 died of pneumonia and s5O died of tuberculosis.
 Most of the company's new business in 1915 was done in the United States and Canada The gain of insurance in force was over s50000,000, and the total in force at the end of the year was $s4o3,ooo ,GouI The income of the year exceeded $lSl0oo, cot, payments to policyholders were nearly S76. eco O0O, and assets at the end of the year were over $S2200o,ooo.

now without homes were increased by the fact that the largest storage houses filled with provisions for supplying the surrounding country, were burned down. It is harder to obtain grocer ies today than at any time since the war began.
 Bergen never was so flourishing as at the beginning of the present year, these conditions being due largely to the increased merchant marine.
 Bergen is one of the oldest and most picturesque towns in Norway and it ranks first of the Norwegian ship owning centers. It is well built on a hilly peninsula and, is situated at the end of deep bay of the Atlantic, 19 miles northwest of Christiana. Through Bergen passes a large part of Norway's $ foreign trade. Fleets of vessels bring the produce of the northern fisheries to the seaport.
 Bergen has repeatedly suffered from fire, as in 1702 and 1855, and the broad open spaces which interrupt the streets are intended as a safeguard against the spread of flames. Many of the houses still are timber built and painted white.
 The chief buildings in the city are the National museum a large public li- brary the cathedral and a marine bi- ological station

IVY ILLIAM FAVERSHAM, the A/ noted English actor, comes
 to the Jefferson theatre on Thursday night for his annual visit to Birmingham in the drama of domestic economies, "The Hawk" by Francis De Croisset. MT. Faversham's art is such that his coming to provincial cities is said to be an event of more than passing interest, and it therefore can be expected that a flattering audi ence will greet the famous star in his latest play on Thursday night at the Jefferson.
 The Hawk" is a play of where man loves greatly and his wife makes unusual demands upon his resources in fact more than he can bear. The man seeks to gratify the whims of a butterfly wife by cheating at cards and other light diversons-such as picking pockets and trivial things of a like character. The question asked in the play is whether it is right for the man to swoop down like the hawk upon the birds in the fields and take

 The fourth annual concert of the Arion club will take place at the Jef- ferson on Friday night. This is musical event of more than ordinary importance. as it is the yearly ef- fort of local artists.
 Mice and Men, the latest Famous Players feature, which will be shown at the Strand today is notable because of pretty Marguerite Clark, for that means accomplished and delightful acting. Her performance in Mice and Men' is all the more charming through the wearing of pretty southern gowns of the hoop skirt variety.
 In Mice and Men," Miss Clark is adorable at all times. In the first of the picture she appears as an or phan trying to look homely. However, Marguerite Clark's face is the worst enemy to homeliness, so the demunia- tive actress makes a piquant found- ling. Later she is adopted by rich DacnelOr WHO intends to marry HeI, but fate intervenes and the nephew wins out at the altar Mice and Men is commended to please the patrons of the Strand today and tomorrow.
 Souls Enchained," a Gloria film feature, in which Lyda BorelH is starred created a very favorable im- pression at the Odeon Two yesterday. Souls Enchained' will be repeated again today.

Physician Continues to Use Tanlac in Daily Practice With Surprising
 Results

Edwards, it will be remembered, recently gave Tanlac his unqualified in dorsement in a public statement, and the testimonial published below was recently given him by one of his patients. His let ter follows just as it was written.
