Fair and Warmer"

So great. was the success of Fair and Warmer" the Avery Hopwood farce of temperature and temperament which Selwyn & Co. will present at the Jefferson Wednesday and Thurs day, matinee Thursday, that before it had reached it's first hundredth per {. formance at the Eltinge theatre in New York, there was demand for it from every quarter of the country, and it's fame had been carried from coast to coast and from the gulf to Canada by the out-of-town members of it's ca pacity audiences.
 Its success was so instantaneous and so unceasing during it's year in New York and the following eight months in Chicago, that nationwide interest was created. It will come here with a special Selwyn & Co cast of excellent farceurs, who will give the fullest flavor to the Hopwood lines and situa- tions.

At Loew's BiiOu

~Ab DOSW 9 A1JOd
 Every number on the programme at Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week was given enthusiastic approval by the capacity audiences last night, for not only were the vaudeville acts of the big time variety but every picture fea- tude was also of the highest class. Mabel Harper, wonderfully clever come- dienne, carried away the headline honors in the vaudeville part of the perform ance, and Dorothy Phillips was at her best in the big photoplay success Bond age" Not the least interesting part of the performance is Loew's current events which depict in rapid success stirring events of worldwide interest, many of which one read in the papers few days ago. Another big picture feature IS the patriotic cartoons by such world famed artists as Guelet, Browne, Greene and others The picture part of the programme is a high-ciass entertainment in itself
 An attractive opener is the act of Dix and Dixie, which is versatile and artistic 1t is varied exhibition of song dance, Juggling, balancing and slack wire feats, all of which are clever and original. Rags Leighton and Dick Kennedy, two burnt cork comedians, put over line of talk that is highly divertng and both are unusually clever eccentric dancers. Mark and Josephine made a hit with neat singing, dancing and talking act. The Milina Five. Italian musicians and vocalists, contributed an act that ap- peals to lovers of music, and each mem- Der of the company is a finished artist in his particular line.
 Mabel Harper is simply a riot As Cheviller says: Its not so much what she says, but the way she says it. that counts. She has talent, originality, and what is more particularly pleasing personality, and with the assistance of a young lady at the piano gives one of the most enjoyable acts of the season.

visiting his son, Reese Atkinson of the Adamson Motor company.
 Before the country got into war, said Judge Atkinson, the biggest prob lem confronting the nation was that of transportation. It Is necessary, first, that the people be protected, and secondly that the railroads be guaranteed just return on their investment-that the rail- roads be protected against a general breakdown
 That was the general problem In addition to solving that great problem the committee was instructed also 10 inquire into the feasibility of govern- ment-not simply egulation-contrcl.
 REASON FOR TRAVEL
 "On account of the distracting influ- ence of the war our committee has not had much time in which to work At the last sitting, however. we were confront ed bv this situation: It would not he fair for the government to pay trans portation of it's witnesses to Washing ton and nat pay transportation Of Wit nesses for the railroads. If we required witnesses to pay their own transporta- tion the government would De handl- capped through the nonappearance of it's witnesses The railroads would transport their witnesses free of charge. So we de- ternined to go to various sections ot the country. We decided to visit San Fran cisco first We will hold sessions there for a month, beginning November l.
 Judge Adamson declared that he would see to it that Georgians selected real patriot as his successor in Congress. This opened the way for a question con corning the attitude of Georgians towards Senator Hardwick, who has been charged with conduct contrary to the best in- terests of the government But Judge Adamson declined to talk.
 PRAISES MUSCLE SHOALS

Cheating Cheaters''

Cheating Cheaters," which A Fl. Woods will present at the Jefferson theatre next Friday and Saturday, mat inee and night is one of last seasons conspicuous metropolitan "hits' hav- ing completed a years run at the Eltinge theatre. New York. It is esti- mated that more than 100000 people saw the play during that time. The New York Sun said of it that, nothing quite like 1t has ever been seen on rhe New York stage" Certainly no more ingenious and surprising combination of farce and melodrama has been seen on the American stage in many seasons not since Seven Keys to Baldpate, ? according to the New York Times. Of all forms of drama the farce melo- drama is the rarest and most interest ing when successful, and in Cheating Cheaters," Max Marcin has achieved q success vouchsafed to few playwrights. An evening of unusual entertainment is promised to theatregoers of the Jef ferson in the forthcoming production of the play.

At the Lyric


 Featured by the first episode of part one of the official British war office film of ''The Retreat of the Germans at the Battle of Arras. the bill at the Lyric for the first half of the week is one of exceptional calibre. The pictures. show ing interesting scenes from the battle front in France, are filled with inspir- ing sights They are clear and the views are of actual battles and incidents hap pening with the British forces
 The continual firing of the big and lt- tie guns, the men being rushed to the front, the transportation of supplies and men. the advance of the famous tanks as well as scenes showing them in ac- tion, the bursting of shells in the Brit ish lines and the charging of the Tom mics are some of tho thrilling and ex- citing features of the pictures The pictures are. without a doubt. the best war scenes offered locally. There Is not a dull moment during the entire run and the large audience last night WAS rc-erous in It's applause.
