HENRY B. WALTHALL
| AT TRIANGLE TODAY
Favorite Birmingham Actor
Star of ''Pillars of Society"
From Henrik Ibsen

| Triangle pictures will enter their second
week of success at the Triangle theatre
| formerly the Odeon TWO today with a
perturbation of Pillars of Society" a
five-part Fine Arts production in which
Henry B. Walthall is the distinct star.
Pillars of Society is the last picture in
which Mr.. Walthall appeared under the
direction or supervision of David Wark
Griffith, and foremost critics of the films
assert that under Griffiths direction
Walthall was the foremost actor of the
screen in America.
Pillars of Society" which will be
shown today, tomorrow and Tuesday at
the Triangle theatre. is from the drama
of Henrik Ibsen. which is story of the
hypocrisy of man to attain power and
recpect in community. 1t is a blow
at smugness.
Pillars of Society is picture that
was made about two years ago, but
which has never been released. 1t now
comes to Birmingham as the greatest
screen effort of Walthall since THE
Birth of a Nation"
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Home an original photoplay by c.
Gardner Sullivan, directed by Raymond
3. West, and produced by the Ince-Tri-
angle studios. is booked. Miss Bessie
Barriscale Charles Ray and Louise
Glaum are starred in this production
which will strongly impress all who
see it.
Home" is the story of girl who de-
votes her efforts to saving her family
from the evils of too suddenly acquired
wealth and who nearly sacrifices her own
happiness in succeeding. 1t is replete
with comedy touches although it's fun
damental theme is based on a big serious
idea. 1t narrates the experiences of a
sensible girl upon her return from a
European finishing school and shows how
she clearly awakens her kin to ra,liza-
ton of their mistakes.
On Saturday, THE Golden Claw" a
five-part Ince-Triangle film drama, is
booked with Bessie BarriscaIe in the
leading role. THE Golden Claw is an
other of those trenchant TRADES against
the influence of money on morals by c.
Gardner Sullivan of the Ince studios.
AS stated before, Triangle photoplays
are produced to create thought as well
as entertainment and Manager Leftwich
of the Triangle theatre is making the
experiment Of trying high brow movies
in Birmingham audiences.

THE GIRL WITHOUT.
A CHANCE" At BUOU.
white Slave" Drama Will
Be Presented This Week
BY Manager Cassidy

The Girl Without a Chance" which
comes to the Bijou Monday for a weeks
run, is a great moral lesson. Moth
ers and fathers should insist upon
their daughters and their sons seeing
II, for 1t may mean the saving of
either of them from a terrible fate.
The play teaches a great moral lesson,
and has the Endorsement of social
workers. ministers and the press OF
many sections of the country.
The story of the play deals with the
vaccinations of the white Slave"
trust, and it tells far more wildly
than words in type could tell of the
horrors of the most gigantic vice trust
ever known in America. Every grow
ing girl should see it and every mother
and father should learn the wonderful
lesson 1t teaches
AS the curtain rises on the first act
one feels as though he had been trans
ported into some foreign cline, and
the strong situations at the climax OF
the acts are so built that the action
makes one long to get hold on the peo-
pie high in authority that allow the
persecution of THE Girl Without a
Chance" as written by Whitney Col
Inns and produced by Robert Sherman.
Throughout the play there are more
real thrills taken from real life than
one could believe possible in two hours
time.
The intensely dramatic situations are
relieved by the interpreting of good
comedy throughout the action of the
play.
Every characterization is in the hands
of competent artists, who make one
feel he is witnessing the real happen
ings of life, from which the action of
the play is taken. THE Girl Without
a Chance" is a true to life story that
will bring home great truths to the
Americans of the south.
The play will be the offering all the
coming week at the Bijou. Matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

means of stimulating recruiting in the

and a high bank of clouds against
which to silhouette the balloon, and
then gave orders for the ascent.
The balloon rose with Miss Penning-
ton very much in evidence and the
operator lying concealed in the basket.
The little star became nervous, as she
saw the ground falling away from her
and seized rope. Unfortunately, it
was the valve rope. which opened the
exhaust and let the gas out of the
bag. The balloon began to fall rapidly
and tumbled to the ground, splitting
the diminutive Miss Pennington out
upon the ground. She landed on her
hands and knees. and for the next
few nights the occupants of the bald
headed row wondered what the pecu-
liar black spots on the Pennington
knees could possibly be- as the little
dancer did her famous Hula dance in
the St'Follies.

Goetz, scarcely recognizable save for
the livid scar across his cheek. He
staggered blindly, and his cracked and
bloodless lips could make no sound.
But he pointed westward. A low line

light flashes of silver broke through
the rapidly moving cloud. They could
almost hear the thud Of galloping

While hairdressers appear to be
experimenting with many different
styles, the general direction of the new
coiffures is toward greater elabora-

years. 1t is noticeable that the fore

most always waved and puffs and
curls are dividing honOrs with soft
coils as a means of disposing of the

This variety in style makes a happy
state of affairs for those who are

something that pleases her more

the style shown at the left the hair is
combed back IN a small pompadour

LIVE HARDLY ON "OLD ROCK"
Shetland Islanders Know Little OF
Comfort, and Are Early Accus-
toned to Peril.

The sea and the winds-these are
the great facts that color the lives of
the Shetlanders, that hedge them
rabout with loneliness on the outer
rim of living, and that give them a
richness of personal association.
On the outside are just the great
waters that seem to grudge sea room
to the islands, and so they have driven
their way into the land with great
blue woes; they dash themselves
against the high western cliffs as If
they some day would climb up the
hundreds of feet that thwart them, to
the very top where the cormorants
and curlews are crying down the
wind. No wonder the Romans called
the Shetlands Ultima Thule, the
farthest land, the end of the world.
Rolling seas. sweeping winds, solitary
hills, great stretches of moorland, and
inside, little warm toons, where the
folk cling to one another.
For one another is all those who
stay at home to have to cling to. The
great world outside claims many of
them, for the islands can scarcely sup
port $4,000 souls; other hearths and
other lands know them. Three hun
dred of them are captaining vessels,
and many more are sailing before the
mast, for the deep sea draws them as
1t did their forbears a thousand years
ago. Many of those that stay at home
send their Morse hearts wandering
into distant lands, while their bodies
stay on the old rock" as the Shet-
landers call their home.
But even at home the sea is their
mistress, constant to them only in the
whimsies with which it offers up its
treasure trove, certain only, sooner or
later, to stamp its power into the
hearts of it's people with bitter scars
The blue-eyed young sailors, the brave
fishermen, fathers Of families for
years win their living from 1t; and at
home, mothers and wives watch the
skies and the waves and pray in their
hearts as they sing the old songs to
their bairnies, while outside the wind
harps a louder tune.-Maude Radford

Bohemian Music.

Bohemias music is probably bet
ter known throughout the civilized
world than any other branch of her
creative art. This is largely due to
the universal character of the Nam
guage of music and to the eminence
of her great tone poets, Smetana and
Dvorak We read in the chronicles
of the medieval historians of the role
played by music in the life OF the b.
hemian people. and we know that dur
ing the HUSTLE period the Bohemian
hymnology attained a degree of ex-
cellence that has not been surpassed
by later ages. The Bohemian school
of music of today takes foremost rank
among the music schools OF modern
Europe.

"Son of Man" From Book of Enoch

"Son of Man" From Book of Enoch.
There is a general impression that
prophetic writing had ceased in Israel
from the time of the Old Testament to
the Gospels; but in fact there was a
continuous though diminishing flow of
it. The Jews had no profane history.
All their writings were accounts Of
God in his dealings with them either
as individuals or as nation. Books
of this kind, bringing the story of Is
rael down to his own time, were in
circulation and had been read by
Jesus; he quoted from them; from
the book of Enoch he took the title
which he very early began to apply
to himself: The Son of Man.-From
The Man Jesus" by Mary Austin in
the North American Roview.
