ASK PRESIDENT ID . MAKE SPEECH HERE
Acting on Request of Ala Alabama Men, Senators Request Change of Itin-
 erary
By HUGH w. RonERTs

Washington, September 5.-(Special) Actlng on request of Judge L. L. Herz- berg of Gadsden and other Alabamians. senators Underwood and Bankhead today asked the White House to switch inc President from Memphis to Birmingham on his tour in the interest of the league of nations.
 It was stated at the executive offices that in all probability it would be inpos- sible for the President to change his itin- erary, but that the request would be wired him immediately
 Judge Herzberg declared it more impor tant that the President speak in Bir- ningham than in Memphis because Sena- tors bitterest attack against the league covenant was delivered in Birmingham.
 But Alabama, in the Presidents mind, is not doubtful because Senators Bank head and Underwood support the cove nant. Tennessee is doubtful because Senator Shields insists on reservatio It is therefore regarded as improbable that the President will deem it advisable to change his plans.

 Every act is pleasing and was gwen enthusiastic reception yesterday While the 1botonlav feature. "The Other Half is one of the most superb productions seen on the screen in some time II IS a plav that shows the fallacy Of class destructions, with a distinct human ap- neal. Many of the scenes were loudly applauded.
 Frances and Wilson, a young man and a young woman, opened the Dill with an acrobatic and dancing turn And they are really clever ill their acrobatic work and good dancers. The lofty tumble of the male half of the act from the top of the pedestal is IS clever piece of acrobatic work as has been seen on the local stage for some time.
 Fred Ferdinand, the French music hall favorite, was second on the bill ana his ability to coax real melody into his whistling notes is something tt commend this act to all. He has goot stage personality, tells pleasing story well, and has good voice He doe' not overdo any one line of work ant when his act is over it is to meet tn real applause of an interested audi ence.
 The Princes Ali Rajah has a mind reading act that is very clever an' which is staged so that it is not long drawn out or tresome. but quick ant snappy and with a current of fun tha makes it stand out from the usual 1u, of acts of this kind, Call it what vol may. mind reading. mental telepathy thought transmission, or what-not, tn act is clever and goes well with th audience.

"OUT OF THE NIGHT"
 AT THE RIALTO

The old. old saying that true iove never did run smooth" is well illus trated in F. Sheldon's beautiful story. "Out of the Night" which is showing at tEe Rialto theatre. True love bat tlinS with fate does not always tri- umph. but in this instance it does. It meets and defeats malice and cavil and ultimately shames it's traducers.
 The part of the winsome heroine, Rosalie Lane, is taken by Catherine Calvert. the lady beautiful of the screen" It is a role which suits her wonderfully well. The hero Bcb Storrcw. a manly and enthusiastic youth with a love of romantic adven- ture. is impersonated by Herbert Raw linson, one of the most popular of young screen actors
 out of the Night" is a powerful picture with a powerful moral and it more than pleases the many people that witnessed it's showing yesterday. It will be the attraction a the Rialto today and tomorrow.

 AT THE TRIANON

''The Flushed Hour" is still making good at the Trianon theatre. as was evidenced by the large crowds that attended yeSter- day, and there is no doubt but that this is one of the pictures of the time.
 Spending the hushed hour makes four lives entirely different from what once had satisfied them. and in passing changes the viewpoint of hundreds of thousands of people who have seen or will see this picture on the screens of the country.
 ''The Flushed Hour will always remain a screen classic of it's kind. as it is differ ent from any other photoplay ever staged. different in treatment and different in scope.
 It will be repeated at the Trianon today and tomorrow, with q new bill Monday.

ADELAIDE THURSTON AT THE JEFFERSON

| In Whats Your Game?" the comedy drama which was presented at the Jeff
 ferson theatre last night. Adelaide Thurston has one of the hest plays she has appeared in for several seasons. It
 not only contains enough comedy to be entertaining in all of it's three acts. but it is well put together, and in the last act there is a clever twist by which some very dramatic moments are achieved. A
 battle of wits between two women for the affections of man becomes decid- edly melodramatic, and female crook is neatly trapped.
 Miss Thurston plays the part of a rather unsophistieated and old-fashioned wife, laura Fordham, whose husband, Charlie Fordham, has become fascinated by the wiles of Margie Potter, a worldly
 widow with all the accepted arts of a
 modern vampire" and such little ac. compishments as smoking, swearing and drinking cocktails. Seeing how the land lies, Laura, with the assistance of her kindly old uncle, Mr Wincherly decides to "out -yamp" the vampire and adopts some of that interesting persons ways Wlln much success. Charlie is flrSC founded then angry and is eventually | made jealous by a pretended filtration Mrs. Fordham has with MT. Barkerman, a man of the world, who is a guest in | the house.
 | The suave MT Barkerman turns out to l be detective who has been quietly l trailing the spectacular Margie for some l time. He devises a little conspiracy by which the adventures is lured into an attempt at blackmail, Al the same time ] the foolish husband has his eyes opened ! to his own folly and the unchanged <, character of his wife, who was never as i bad as she pretended to be, and there is | the expected reconciliation.
 1 Miss Thurston plays the principal role 1 with the ability that has made her a popular comedienne for a number of 1 years, with an established following, particularly in the south. She is assist. | ed by an excellent company, including | Gordon Mitchell, who typifies the hus- | band who might easily be hypnotzed by a strange female and just as quickly grow jealous of the wife whom he has | been neglecting. Pauline Crell has a face
 and figure well adapted to the role of an
 adventures and acts the part well. | Lynn Osborne was an admirable stage 1 detective quite plausible and with Ian
 easy air that made his portrayal all the more satisfying. William Howatt was a jolly old gentleman with small town
 ideas, and the other parts were in com
 petent hands.
 | The present engagement of Miss Thurs
 ton ends Saturday night. There will be
 a matinee Saturday Afternoon.

the biggest and lest state fair the man agement has eve attempted.
 The State fair management has always obtained the best fireworks on the mar ket heretofore, but manufacturers ana producers have gone themselves one bet ter this year. and what has happened be- fore in this line of entertainment will ap- pear tawdry when compared to the mag nificent scenic spectacle which is on the programme nightly at the fair grounds starting Monday, october G. and contlnu- ing throughout the week.
