ALMA RUBENS SCORES
BIG HIT AT THE RIALTO

The thousands who saw Alma Ru-
bens in diane of the Green Van" at
the Rialto yesterday are unanimous in
declaring that she is one of the beau
ties of the screen and that the picture
is one Of the big entertainments Of
the season. The picture at the Rialto
is a rare ombination of a beautiful
star and an interesting and thrilling
story. Crowds saw the picture yestcr-
day and arrangements have been made
to accommodate laEge crowds today
and tomorrow.
"Diane of the Green Van" is from the
big prize story published in Collier
and the picture is said to be even more
interesting than the story. Diane
Westfall has everything that one could
care for--riches, social position, beauty
and brains-but she is tired of society
and wants the thrills of life. So she
| leaves home and starts for Florida in
| green van accompanied by no one
| but a maid. She sees life all right
| gets many thrills and has many ex-
periences.
| On this unique journey she is fol-
lowed by three men who want to mar
another wants her for her beauty and
| the third wants her so bad that he uses
cave man stuff
| The picture is excellent in every
| particular. Miss Rubens is a perfect
| Diane and her personal beauty adds
much to her attractiveness. The pic
ture is interesting and thrilling and
furnishes much entertainment.

CATHERINE CALVERT
AT THE STRAND

THE Career of Katherine Bush the
big special Paramount Aircraft picture,
featuring pretty Catherine Calvert, was
greeted by record breaking attendance
at the Strand theatre yesterday
Vibrating with dramatic charms and
interesting throughout, THE Career of
Katherine Bush furnishes a delightful
presentation of that wonderful love story,
Three Weeks, written by Elinor Glyn.
The screen has had very few produce
lions that have created such widespread
interest as this powerful drama, which
was released from the pen of Elinor
Glyn.~, Thousands of Birmingham people
remember it as the leading serial in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine of sometime ago
and will recall with pleasure the power
full appeal that the author embodied in
the story of this girl, who dared and
risked her all upon the alter.
The authoress describes the girl in the
story, whose part is taken by beautiful
Miss Calvert, the international screen
star, as 1.-The most damnaby attractive
creature he thought he had ever seen
She was like some lazy, dangerous
lioness."
Catherine Calvert, in the Career OF
Katherine Bush, is the slave Of ambi-
ton Her affairs were not of the heart
but instead those of a cunning young
woman, who desired to be worldly She
was willing to make unheard OF sacri-
fees; in fact, barter her soul, worth
and position for wealth and renown.
Many of the most severe movie critics
pronounce The Career of Katherine
Bush one of the greatest productions of
the season. not only in point of screen
beauty, butA from the viewpoint of the
advocate ofv the single or double life.
katherine Bush tramples down the argu-
ment that love and honor is always
barred to woman who has had her ups
and downs in life by living down her
many affairs in the past and\ winning
love and honor, and she is welded to a
nobleman.

Alcazar yesterday and pleasing pic
ture it is. There is not but the least
semblance of plot, but it is this point
that makes the picture pleasing. The
picture is full of clever comedy from
the outset and the audience is inter
ested from the start.
Pretty costumes and well selected
scenery are the features and the wo-
men which have taken part in the ac-
ton are especially good to look at.
The story of the play is that
student in a girls seminary, June Ca
price, is in love with a man who is
attending a neighboring university.
The young man desires to marry the
girl. but his spinster- aunt, who is
worth 100000, played by Flora
Finch, more than one year on the
screen. insists that she see the pros
pective bride before she will give her
consent. The parents of the girl also
object on the grounds that the boy
drinks. The way in which the digni-
fled old Judge, the girls father, and
the spinster aunt of the boy get in
toxicated introduce some ludicrous
situations. Scandal enters into the
comedy more than one time and i.
proves to be quite humorous.
The bedroom scenes, In which an
actress, Jackie" invades the boudoir
of the perfectly nice young man and
is found there by the bride of the
young man proves to be a perp1exing
situation to the boy. but he succeeds
in overcoming the difficulty and every
thing progresses nicely.
Musical scores from the play played
by the Alcazar orchestra, make the
picture doubly interestfHg

seashore tops off the bill at the the

via, gives an approximation Of real or
historic Europe's eastern frontier and
extent. West Of that line and north
of the Alpine system, an enormous
plain, broken only by the watersheds
of its rivers extends to the North sea-
when the Christian era began, all
that plain was covered by forests ex-
cept the marshlands in the east. That
plain, as we'll as Scandinavia, peopled
almost wholly by Teutons, was some
times called Germania. East Of that
line was another still more enormous
plain, Sarmatia, the home Of the Slavs,
a race almost unknown. The Alps,
nC -thern Italy, part Of Spain. France
and the British islands were inhabited
by Celts. The centers Of the Greco
Latins were Greece and Italy.
"Thus, at the time Of Christ the Alps
are the signpost Of Europe, roughly
pointing out where the races are to be
found: north of the Alps, the Teutons;
south of the Alps, the Greco-Latins; IN
the Alps and to the west, the Celts; far
east of the Alps, little affected by
them, and therefore little Influenced
by Europe, and Of as little influence in
it, the Slavs and the Finno-Ugrians."
