This resource belongs to the people in their sovereign capacity. II has been vandalized in the past and greatly depleted by those who have talk en it, merely to gratify their mercenary greed.
 Hast year 15oOoo barrels of shrimp were taken in Alabama waters and trans. ported to Mississippi and Louisiana where they were canned. The waters of Mississippi and Louisiana have been practically depleted of seafood, such as oysters and shrimp, hence the attention of the canners is now centered on Ala bama.

GRAVES OPPOSES BILL

Montgomery, August S-(Special)- Enactment of the Kahn compulsory military training bill by the Congress of the United States is opposed by Colonel Bibb Graves, who commanded Alabama boys who reached France about the time the armistice was signed in November. The bill will require young men in the United States to devote certain time to mili- tary training.
 This bip, If enacted, will pave the way for the training of thousands of negroes in the Country" said Colonel Graves. Tt will result in the teach ing of might to the young men and the children of the vountry."
 Colonel Graves called attention to the fact that Congress recently killed a bill which would have provided an army of 300, 900 men and that the Chamberlain-K Kahn bill will provide an army of 1.5oo,0o0. It is being rushed through Congress because of

NAZIAEOVA. THE WONDER
 STAR, Is STILL MODEST

Despite the fact that she has been hailed as perhaps the greatest actress on the American stage today, Nazi- mova, now appearing in "The Brat" is still as modest as the day when she had her first triumph in New York.
 At that time her artistry and sheer emotional power, coupled with her exotic beauty, compelled metro pOlitan dramatic critics and eNacting theatregOers to admit that she was something new and great come to the American stage. This opinion of course she knew, but when it was re peated to her in an interview, Nazi- mova protested:
 'I am not great I am not well known. even in Russia. have play ed in St. Petersburg only one season. In Moscow. and in some of the small CT towns they like me a little, I think"
 Much of this has now become un- true. Her widespread popularity and reputation contradict her earlier statements, but the great artist is none the less unaffected after her success.

PARK.
CReview.

''Iyhe Kiss Burglar made its initial appearance of the season at the Park theatre last night before a capacity house. There is a very pretty theme to the show and if carried out prop erly should make a splendid produc- ton but either due to the fact that the cast were not familiar with their parts or not capable of enacting them resulted in the show not running very smoothly and a production such as The Kiss Burglar demands more polished acting than what was evil denced last night.
 Patricia O'Hearn, a very pleasing bit of personality and a voice that would be considered fair, won the audience as Airline, Grand Duchess of Orly, a delineation of a girl of roy atty, who upon arrival to America be- comes enraptured in the unreStrained American ways.
 Budd Murray livened up the show by giving a lively impersonation of Tommy Dodd, the interfering press agent who is the cause of a large amount of trouble for Airline. He has a fair voice and is a good dancer and willing to work. Lee Abbott as Bert .Du-Viv1er has a very pleasing tenor voice and was the audiences favorite
 The chorus were pretty and finely costumed and with a little more prac- tice the entire company should suc- ceed and it would be unfair to be toe critical in our judgment considering that it was their first performance ot the season.

REALISTIC COUNTRY

''The Country Cousin" Booth Tarl1- ington and Julian Streets popular stage play. the screen edition of which is to be Elain Hammerstein's first Selznick production, is going along swimminEly in and around the studio During the week, the script called for a country store. The property man and Director Crosland put their heads together and decided that they knew just the exterior for it. It so hap pencd that it was located at Fort Lee. close by the sudio. It was a slight ly tumbled down cottage which gave the appearance of an old-time coun- try shop. The place was borrowed and carpenters were dispatched there to refit the interior. Barrels of vege- tables and a truck load of household utensils were sent to the new shop. In the latter assortment was includ- ed everything from the inevitable lamp, wash boilers, tin pans and keG of nails. So realistic was the whole set when completed that even before the company arrived an automobile pulled up in front of the -oor with several prospective customers
