 MOTION PICTURE STARS AT LOEW'S BIJOU TODAY

Beautiful Alice Brady will arrive in Birmingham this morning on the South ern train from the east and will go inn mediately to her suite in the Tutwiler for short rest before rehearsing her song numbers at Loew's Bijou. She will appear in connection with the vaudeville part of the regular programmes in the afternoon and again with vaudeville at night-in the evening and at night

 tently while the trappings of war came by.
 BANKHEAD IN LINE
 At the head of the Senate came Sena- tors Nelson and Warren of the union army, and Martin and Bankhead, who fought on the side of the gray in the Civil war, and with them marched Senators Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee. and Lodge, rank ing republican of the naval commit tee There were 70 senators in line, and only d few were absent who were not sick or unable to make the long trip. The House turned out hundreds of it's membership, headed by Speaker Clark and Uncle Joe Cannon.
 For more than an hour the flood that poured by the stand was in the brown of the khaki clad army, with the exception of the 1400 drafted men who, in spite of their civilian clothes, marched proudly and with more than a semblance of mili- tary formation. Regulars on foot, or horseback, on the caissons of field pieces and trundling machine guns: national srardsmen Of the district and marlnes from a nearby camp turned the avenue into golden flood of marching men with bayonets or sabers shining, and grim, sun-tanned faces that looked busi- Itess-like and ready for war,
 In all the long line the drafted men and the marines attracted the most att tention at the reviewing stand. The 1900 young men who are in training at Fort Myer for commissions in the newsarmy, with only 12 days of drill behind them, swung by the stand With ranks unbrolSen and with the easy tread of soldiers. But the marines, company after company. swept past with never a ripple to dis turb their steady flow.
 Behind the troops were the government departments Secretary Baker marched at the head of the war department with Major General Scott, chief of staff, and the ranking army officers on duty here in khaki just ahead of the clerks in civil- ilian clothes Secretary Daniels led the navy with Admiral Benson. chief of oper- ations, his aides and scores of officers in the summer white of the navy.

LOUISE GLAUM
 AT THE TRIANON

Louise Glaum, Triangle's celebrated portrayer of vampire roles, is at the Trianon today in 'Idolaters." "Idolaters' is a typical Glaum play, highly seasoned with the forbidden and a play that children should steer away from. It contains the usual things found in pictures of this character, the Egyp- tan settings, cinging gowns and the eternal triangle. However, the play points a moral, vir- tue triumphs over vice as always, but in very startling and surprising manner in this case
 Those delighting in the photodrama
 bordering the edge of improprety, will
 De charmed with Louise Glaum in Idol aters."

SAYS BARBER IS
 LIKE M0UNTEBANK

James Weatherly, quoting from a paragraph in an afternoon paper of Monday, taken from an interview with Arlie Barber. commissioner of pub lie safety, stated yesterday that there was not a fact stated in the para graph which referred to the labor bill which MT. Barber said MT. Weatherly at first gathered. then deserted, and also that he was responsible for Dr. N A. Barrett's race for the presidency of the city commission.
 MT. Weatherly refers to MT. Bar ber's "war record" and dubs him a ''mountebank" on account of his street corner speeches. MT. Weatherly stated in full:
 "Mr. Barber is quoted in the News of yesterday as follows:
 MT Barber said that Mir

 the Birmingham Civic association
 and at first voted in favor of their
 passage. He said Dr. N. A. Bar
 rett, whom he termed as being
 brought out by MT. Weatherly, also voted for them at first. That was prior to May 8, 1917. When
 the matter was carried before the Civic association by R. E. L. Con-
 nelly between May 8 and May 15, the change of heart, as far as
 MT. Weatherly and Dr. Barrett is
 concerned, took place, according to MT. Barber
 There is not fact stated in this paragraph. It is false in whole and false in every part.
 "A letter from the Birmingham Ro- tary club to the Civic association gave rise to the discussion and adverse vote by the board of directors on the subject of restrictive measures against the exodus of the common laoor oi this district This letter was dated May 10. 1917 the adverse vote occurred on May Il, 1917. No other discussion or vote occurred in that body and the vote was unanimous against the prop osition. MT. R. E. L. Connolly brought up the proposed city ordinance during the discussion of the Rotary club let ter and not at any other time. And the board of directors of the Civic association, including myself, were of the unanimous opinion that the re- strictive legislation was unwise and should be rejected-so much for thal'
 "There are some other matters of a personal nature in this interview, and in another interview in the morn ings Age Herald which I shall not waste time in parleying over with the newspaper boys and MT. Barber. MT. Barber'S methods are sometimes the methods of the mountebank, always good funmaking stuff for the clever newspaper boys. He invites Dr. Bar rett and MT. Ward to joint debate with him on the street corners--the favorite stage of the mountebankl Indeed the literal definition of the word 'mounte- bank is mount on a beneh;' whence we have ia peripatetic quack, one who prescribeS and sells nostrums al fairs and similar gatherings.
 Neither of MT. Barber's opponents will probably mount on the bench with him, but it would be naught but simple justice to the people, lest they forget, if Mr. Ward, wno knows MT Barber's war record would mount on the bench with MT.
