No Accidents Reported

A remarkable feature of yester- day was the fact that although the city was crowded with thousands of old veterans and tens of thousands of visitors not single accident was reported or serious case of illness. A few veterans became over fa- tlgued by the parade, but no serious results were reported. Much praise was given the authorities and the committee in charge for this splen- did showing.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nafinn"

Despite the fact that the reunion end- ed yesterday and the great part of the thousands of visitors returned to the;r homes last night and this morning, the seat sale for ''The Birth of Nation' at the Jefferson all this week, with matinee every day. shows no falling off from the record demand for seats that has not left a ticket in the theatre during the week. Only very few tickets remain for the matinee this afternoon or tho per- formance tonight.
 The presence in Birmingham at he time that 'The Birth of a Nation is being presented here of Henry E. Wal thall, the Birmingham boy who created the role of Ben Cameron, the Little Col onel," lends added interest to the present. ation. Efforts to get Mr. Walthall to at- tend the theatre have been in vain and it is said that he fears that he would be mobbed by the feminine contingent Yesterday MT. Walthall was the center of attention in the veterans parade and wherever he walks about the streets at- tracts much notice. If he should fall inta the hands of his lady admirers while the spell of his wonderful work in the great film was still strong upon them, there would be no hope for him and accordingly he is steadfastly refusing to grant the request of the theatre officials.
 At the Lyric
 The new bill which opened at the mati- nee Thursday is very entertaining and pleased a capacity audience at both the afternoon and evening performances. The Scotch lads and lassies, which have been the all-week attraction proved just as popular as on the opening performance If the week, and their act was declared one or the most attractive of the season. The members of this company are all clever and they present the act with vim and dash.
 1''The Passion Play of Washington Square, with Dorothy Shoemaker in the leading role, proved one of the most at- tractive one-act plays of the season and it's surprise plot is quite a feature. The members of the company are artists of high rank, and the sketch proved or ap- sorbing interest. It is beg feature of the new bill.
 The Girl from Milwaukee, singing comedienne, possesses a splendid voice and a personality that made her an immediate favorite and she was well received. As blackface entertainers. Weary and Mill Ter proved entertaining, and they had some jokes that were new, and they 1 have an attractive way of putting them over. Irving and Ward, as dialect come dians, pleased, and the entire bill fur nished much enjoyment and enter tain ment.

GREAT CROWDS

Following the great parade yester- day the motion picture theatres of the city made hay while it rained. At every picture show the s. R. O. sign was hung out, and this condition of affairs was maintained even until late in the night. Manager T. s. Aber- nethy of the Strand theatre stated that the gross receipts of all the theatres in Birmingham yesterday surpassed that of any other day since motion picture theatres have been operating in this city.

ALLEN SOULS"

Sessue Hayakawa, the noted Japanese actor and his wife, Tsuru Aokia portray the principal characters in Alien Souls,' five-part Lasky- Paramount feature at the Strand theatre today. In this photoplay the eternal triangle is presented with unusual contrasts. Into it is woven the hopeless tangle of conflicting traditions, methods and ideas Be- sides an absorbing love story, Alien Souls presents an interesting study of ethnology.
 Besides the leads, the following people, Earle Foxe, Grace Benham, J. Park Jones, Violet Malone and Dorothy April, all contribute excel lent and sympathetic characteriza- tions.

must prepare. but are the business
men of this country ready themselves
to lend hand and sacrifice an inter
est in order that we may get ready?"
1t Is a fair challenge. And IL the
business men are sincere about 1t,
they will promptly declare their in
tention TO make whatever sacrifices
are necessary. in order to cooperate
with employees who are willing to join
any of the defensive organizations now
being established. Many merchants
and manufacturers have already given
notice that they will make any neces-
sary arrangements to enable their EN-.
ployees to attend national guard drills
and encampments, and some have Of
fered to give months time on full
pay to men attending the summer
military instruction camps. How
many more will do the same thing?

THE ACTORS
UNION.

The general manager of the Charles
Frohman company maintains that
acting is an art-it is not labor. Yor
cannot unionize brains" Nevertheless
the actors of America have organized
a union and voted to join the Ameri'
can Federation of Labor.
There are many abuses that they
seek to correct through better organi'
zation and the moral support they gain
by affiliation with the great labor
unions. There is probably no tyranny
in any American industry like the ty'
ranny of theatrical managers. Actors
though regarded by the general public
as mostly enviable, really have few OF
the privileges that are possessed as a
matter of course by an ordinary union
workman. Their salaries are higher
than the wages of the carpenter or
puddler or mechanic, but more pre-.
carious: the terms of their employ.
ment are hard and uncertain.
Here are some of the things the
actors want: A guarantee of at least
two weeks salary after four weeks of
rehearsing a new part without pay; a
definite and equitable form of con-
tract, not easily broken by the man
ager; full salary for every working
week, without being locked during the
holiday season; fairer division of the
all very we'll to say that somebody
costs of transportation and costumes
In all these particulars the managers
have had things their own way, except
in the case of stars too powerful to
bulldoze. Some of them show a ten,
dency to flaunt their autocracy in the
face of the actors new venture. I'm
going to run my business to suit my
SELF" says one of them. That is what
many an employer of labor has said
only to realize in the end that what is
his business is also his employees
