Fashions of To-Day Ry May Manton

There are so many occasions
to which such a dress as this is
adapted that it finds a place
in every wardrobe. 1t is ideal
for the college girls daily use, it
is practical for general utility
wear and tits always smart and
attractive. The skirt is in three
pieces with a gathered back
which means pretty lines, and
the blouse shows a vestee that
is not alone one of the new fea-
lures but which always allows
effective use of contrasting ma
terial. AS it is shown here, the
blouse is made all of one fabric
but the collar and vestee and
turned-over portions of the cuffs
could be of color on white to be
pretty. Utility dresses are sure
to be in demand this season and
this one made of some service
able material, such as skirt o.
khaki colored galatea and the
blouse of handkerchief lawn of
the same color, would be abso-
lutely available for practical
needs.

"Her Soldier Boy"

"Her Soldier Boy,'' the military mu- sical play which comes to the Jefferson today, matinee and night, with Charles Irwin and Kitty Henry featured in the principal roles, has back of it record of seasons run on Broadway in New York, where it won instant and lasting praise. It is musical play concern ing the great European war. but with a great plenty of comedy injected, so that the morbid features of war stories is practically entirely eliminated. The musical numbers are of the genuine hit type, ones that the theatre pa irons will whistle or sing as they leave the theatre, and which will finger with them for many a day. Her Solb1er Boy undoubtedly will be one of the greatest of musical plays presented here this season. It comes branded as genuine New York success, with ster- ling cast superbly staged and costumee and with real Broadway beauty chorus of exceptional ability.

Tex, spent the afternoon in the reading rooms yesterday, and scores of men from Camp Mcclellan and Camp sheridan are using the rooms and the association hopes they will continue to do so.
 From the beginning the association has had very active work in solving the food problems caused by the war. In the spring it waged a campaign in the city and suburbs to plant war gar dens. Tn the summer it furnished cans to the canning club girls, and now the committees are working on the prob lems of marketing food stuffs. The Civil association cafe daily serves the Hoover lunches, which are nourishing and inexpensive.
 The directors have granted leave of absence to Secretary Manager Har- old in order that he may tour the state in the interest of the war recreation work, in which he is meeting with splendid success. Membership Secretary Hollingsworth is secretary of the "Four Minute Men, which has its headquarters in the association rooms
 For the past week the directors have been assisting in putting over the Y M C. A. campaign.
 The underlying principle of all its work is service, not only to the city of Birmingham but to the state ant nation.

rendition of Ben Bolt and "The Long Long Trail"
 Fenton and Green open their act with a magic setting, but end it with both taking a magic pill that sets them dancing into many unusual steps that are highly pleasing. Comedy of diff ferent kind is mixed into this act mak- ing it one of the best on the programme.
 The ''Takita Japs.' in oriental pastimes, present an act of unusual merit in the way of foot play with barrels and other objects, closing their fascinating act with one of their number walking a tight rope from the stage to the pea nut roost," and then sliding down the rope back backwards to the stage on his feet This act is thriller.
 The feature picture of the first half of the week is ''The Savage" and it is a tribute to the excellent acting of Mon- roe Salisbury and Ruth Clifford It pre- sents a strong, redblooded story of the great Canadian northwest, and of the daring of the mounted police of that place. Salisbury, as Julio Salvatore, is one of the strongest characters that has even been shown in Birmingham, and combined with the finished acting of Ruth Clifford is undoubtedly one of the best pictures shown in the city of late.
 Loew's feature cartoons and weekly news pictures are combined with this un- parralleled bill of attractions.

District Attorney Charles R. Weeks, conducting the prosecution, emphasized two points during his interrogation of prospective jurors. These were intended to show whether if selected they could
 withstand any appeals which might be made to their sympathy and whether they

Annette Kellermann-Alcazar

The famous Annette Kellermann mill lion-dollar picture, "A Daughter of the Gods" was presented at the Alcazar theatre yesterday for the first time, and 1t made most emphatic hit It is the most daring thing ever done in motion pictures and the sensational appearance of Miss Kellermann made everybody in the house agree that without the wonderful Annette such a picture would be impossible. "A Daugh- ter of the Gods" is a masterpiece of art, and the frequent scenes in the nude are as graceful and free from suggestion as the rarest painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The picture, which was about a year in the making, is totally different from anything else that has been done in the movies. It is a fairy story through : 1 out and the titles, cleverIy written, are in fairy story style Two birds are in love, are killed and are reborn; | one is Anita, daughter of the gods 1 and the other as Prince Omar, who IS l greeted by the sultan as the boy who
