"The Better Ole"
 at the Jefferson

DeWolf Hopper opened return en- gagement at the Jefferson theatre last night ir perhaps the greatest play of his career, The Better Ole" On his pre- vious visit to Birmingham in this play some weeks ago. Mr. Hopper was greeted by crowded houses and patrons of the theatre who witnessed his inimitable per- formances could not praise his work too highly. As 2 result there was a strong demand for his return in order that those who were not so fortunate as to see him on his first visit might have the oppor- tunity
 "The Better Ole" Is wonderfully vivid and human and an extraordinary appealing portrayal of the British sol der in the recant war. His strength, his cheerfulness. his humor and not bit ot his pathos are woven into series of in- cidents based on Bairnsfather's famous cartoons. This English artist was able to see the humorous side of a tragedy that convulsed the world and his cartoons

Today is Thanksgiving day, and if you cant find enough to be thankful for at home, you certainly can find it down. town, because every theatre and motion picture house in Birmingham has an added attraction for the day.
 De Wolf Hopper plays today, matinee and night, at the Jefferson theatre, in ''The Better Oie," the very best comedy drama that M-. Hopper has appeared in for years. He brings to life those wonder full sketches of MT. Bairnsfather's that have made the entire world smile, and the smile turns into a hearty laugh ia the play.
 Tomorrow and Saturday, matinee and night, "PollyanEa," the "Glad Girl will remind you of so many things that you ve forgotten to be thankful for. You will celebrate Thanksgiving three days if you see ''Pollyanna.' It is one of the dearest, sweetest little plays on the American stage.
 It is a wonderful bill that is the Thanks giving offering at Loew's Bijou today. There are five acts of supreme vaudeville, Sussue Hayakawa in a superb picture fea- ture, new comedy reels and news pictures and selections on the pipe organ and py the Bijou orchestra.

 The leading figure of these sketches was "Old Bill, Mc. Hopper seems the living embodiment of the character. It is inn possible to concelve of anybody playing the part better It is a classic and is by far the best role Mir. Hopper has had in years. and he is by no means new figure on the stage.
 Birmingham theatre patrons arc fortu- nate in having Mir Hopper and his ad- mirable company play return engage ment here. Not only is the star himself all that his friends could expect him to be in this delightful character, so quaint, so comic at times and so apt to touch the heart strings, but he is supported ny an able company. Even the smallest paris are in comptert hands, and when it Is taken into consideration that the play is also staged with consummate care, there can be little question that '"rhe Better Ole" will rank among the seasons most notable attractions.
 There will be a Thanksgiving matinee this afternoon and a performance to- night.
