Security Gold Stamps To Be Given With
 Each Admission

The Alcazar theatre was the first pie ture theatre in the south to adopt trading stamps, by which means their women patrons may not only see the pictures but they may follow their favorite pas time as well.
 Saving trading stamps is both pas time and habit with American women. and the Alcazar is encouraging the habit in adding to tne pleasure of Birmingham women by giving 10 security gold stamps with each paid admission
 Every Birmingham woman knows the worth of gold stamps, and all recognize their superiority over trading stamps of every other kind and color. All prefer the gold because they are not only more valuable but are easier to get
 The Alcazar gives them; the Steele Smith Dry Goods company gives them with all sales in their big cash store, and 15O other Birmingham merchants give them with cash purchases. And, in addition, the premiums or coupons, such as come with Serv-us Pure Food Prod uots Donovan's Coffee, Ballard and Ballard Flour, Pan Dandy and Cream Banquet Bread, etc, are exchangeable for gold stamps at Steele-Smiths Re- demption department on the fourth floor,

The Eternal Heart of Childhood Will Rejoice At the Announcement of Jack and the BeanStak"
Motion Picture News
 Reviews Production
Says Special Attraction to Be at Alcazar Will Hold
 People Spellbound
Revlewed by Joseph [. KelIey

Jack and the Bean Stalk will prove as strong an attraction for the older gene ration as it does for the kiddies. In its second week at the Globe theatre, it has given rise to much favorable comment. It is indeed an attraction that will be received with an enthusiastic welcome which could be inspired only by the pres- entation in pictures of theme that has served a magnificent purpose down through the ages The children will en- joy every scene The elder ones will be attracted by curiosity and once attracted will be held spellbound by the revelation on the screen.
 The play was produced under the di- rection of c. M. and s. A. Franklin Mary ducer has left nothing undone to make the screen presentation as wondrous to the adult as to the child There is in terest for all Tiie Messrs Franklin un- derstand children-their likes and dis likes. They understand the true intent of the story They have shown it by the reproduction on the screen, They have handled a small army of children with out the registration of a faulty move from any. It is difficult to appreciate what this means. To direct hundreds of children, most of whom are under the age of 10 years. before the camera with out a touch of consciousness entering into their actions, is the work of mas ter. With the exception of the giant, Blunderbore, and the giantess there is not "grown-up' in the picture The court scene in the village of Cornwall is en- acted by children and there is evidence of strong, dramatic ability on the part of all who took part The scene is as impressive as seasoned actors and ac- tresses could have made it.
 This Fox production represents an original turn in the road leading to new and greater things in the art of mo- ton pictures, and certainly it represent, originality in the way of entertainment for the children. Special early morning matinees arranged for mothers and the little ones, commencing at and Il o'clock.

There are those who attend a perform ance of Barrfes exquisite Peter Pan, as often as opportunity offers. The writer hereof is one of them. Therefore, word of genuine appreciation is in- tended in remarking that Jack and the Bea nstalk' in film form, as presented at tho Globe theatre last night, possesses some, at least, of the spirit of the Bar rie classic.
 While not yielding one jot of the rare charm of Peter Pan," which per haps. of it's kind. is never to be equaled, it may be a fair appreciation to state that Jack and the Beanstalk' Is the Peter Pan of the films.
 Most of all Jack and the Beanstalk'' will delight children. But. again, as in the case of Peter Pan," there will be those among adults, still possessing 8 wistful recollet ton of younger days. who will find vast amusement and entertain n.ent in 1t.

 The story of Jack and the Beanstalk" is just about the best fairy tale ever written Therefore, it has to begin with "once upon a time,n even when one is telling the story of this pig photoplay So here goes:
 once upon time there lived a little boy named Jack CE7rancis Carpenter) who was very poor. He was so poor,, in fact, that his mother CEleanor Washington told him one day that they should have to sell the old COW which had been their friend for long number of years. So Jack took the COW to market, but he was not glad to do it. On his way to the city he met butcher who needed some fresh meat. He knew that Jacks COW would make delicious eating, so he told Jack he'd buy the animal for a hand- fui of beans
 Just then a good fairy came down to earth. lit on Jacks shoulder, and whis- pered in his ear: \
 Take the beans.,'
 So Jack took them and gave the COW to the butcher. Of course, Jacks mother wasv cry, very angry when she saw what her son had done. So she threw the beans out of the window and sent Jack to bed without his supper.
 The Beanstallk Grows
 But next morning, when they woke up I they found that the beans had taken root 1 and grown overnight. From the place where Jacks mother had thrown them they had sprouted and big, heavy bean stalk was shooting right up out of the ground. It's top was far above the clouds, Nobody could see 1t. Jack climbed up to explore.
 When he got to the top, Jack found ! a great big plain, with the walls of an enormous city in full view. So he went to the city and told them who he was. A good fairy came to him again and told him about bad old giant who lived in

 and Girls on Broadway
eNEw YORK woRLD.)

They say Broadway is blase, but they should have seen-and heard "a Broadway gathering last night at the first showing of Jack and the Bean stalk on the screen of the Globe theatre. "all who recall the stories which pleased them before they ever heard of Broad- way know that Jack is just a childhood fantasy, but it seemed to entertain the spectators more than the sensational type of film New York is supposed to de- mand
 The production, directed by C. M. and S. A. Franklin is excellent and the set tines are splendidly photographed To children, of course, it is the fantastic story itself which appeals. But grown ups will find much to charm them in the cleverness of the boys and girls who comprised practically the entire com pany.
 Second avenue gets this super picture all this week and the only difference be- tween the Broadway production and the Second avenue showing al the Alcazar IS that Birmingham prIces are just one fourth Broadway prices.

 So the people in the city all shouted:

 That night the boy went to the big fellows castle and the giants wife (vera Lewis) hid him in a copper kettle. When the giant came home he thought that ha snselt flesh, but his wife said that 1t was the new captiyes that he had brought along for his dinner.

 Then Jack took command of the Kings armies and led them against the giant. They had a hard time of it. and lots of people got hurt. but they finally injured the giant and rescued the princess. Then Jack took her in his arms and%began run- ming as fast as he could, and the giant went running after him.
 And when they got to the top of the lbeanstalk, Jack went down it, carrying the princess. And the giant came fol- lowing after him. But Jack reached the bottom when the giant was just about halfway down. So he rushed to the wood pile, seized an axe, and began chopping. And when the giant was few hundred feet above the ground the whole thing came toppling over and the big man fell to the ground, and Jack rushed in and slew him with his dagger.
 So then Jack had the princess and lots os money, and was quite contented. And they all lived happily ever after.
