This announcementis made by Com

barrooms as possible under the nag
of the. Salvation Army. il is an
nounced, will extend from ocean to
ocean and from Canada to Mexico.
There will be a white iscketed bar

from the mahogany will become

motto under which the "ancohollessns
bar will be run is: e.

families on time-bscheIors welcome

Commander Booth in an interview
said:
IL ne saloon. az ~ exists TO-DAY, Is
not wholly bad / say this deliber-
ately, although 1 believe strong
drink is a moeker. and that the ex-
cessiye use of alcohol destroys both
BODY and soul. Probably half the men
who go to saloons are led by . eraV-
ing for companionship.
The Salvation Army has, within
the last few weeks. demonstrated the
psychology of the brass rail. There
IS something about the shining bar
which brings all men TO d common
footing. The easy and relaxed atti-

We have kept the bar and brass rail
and the bartender back OF them. Al
though soft drinks are served instead
of hard ones. this barroom OF the new
era gIoEs with good cheer. There are
many bsrtenders OF genial personality
and good character who could Just as
we'll remain behind the soft drink bar
as not"
The first step OF the Salvation Army
will be to acquire, in New York, the
leases OF saloons which have been
closed at much fTequented street
corners and 10 convert them 10 new
uses. The fixtures will be kept, and.
IN many cases. employees retained.

FARCE HIT, T PAYS
 ID ADvERT|SE,' HERE 4 PERT FORMANCES
Laughing Success Booked at Jefferson Thursday, Fri day and Saturday,
 With Matinee

Another big farce success Is coming! This time it is Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett's play, Tt Pays To Ad- vertise," which did phenomenal business on the road last year, surpassing all farces in the matter of creating laughs. This farce will be the important engage ment at the Jefferson the last three days of this week and matinee on Saturday, with an excellent company, including the well known players George Shafer and Allene Durano.
 There Is not in the amusement world today farce that promotes more taught CT than this latest hit. Appealing strongly to men, Ut Pays To Advertise" is a business play, but the universal popu- larity it derived through the authors holding in the plot with romance enough to win the enthusiasm of the feminine portion of the audience. It is not high brow play. It is just a clean. sweet comedy of the farce variety that everyone can understand and appreciate.
 The philosophy of advertising is the winning vein of the plot, which has to do with the idle son of rich man, who is goaded into an active business career by his father. The son starts an advertis- ing campaign to reach the pinnacle of fame, as well as a bank roll, and this campaign creates a furore in the com mercial world through its sensational and winning methods No one more than the son himself is astonished by the remarkable success gained through the advertising campaign, which eventually
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-09

develops satisfaction on the part of the father who. prior to his sons ad- venture into business, is worried over the refusal of the son to work. The process through which the son is encouraged to enter the business world is brought about by one of the neatest love stories ever woven into farce. The fathers pretty stenogra pher. with whom the son
 is in love, perfectly works out the scheme with the father whereby the son displays the energetic business spirit that makes his father proud of him.

 GUS HILL MINSTREL SHOW IS EVENT AT JEFFERSONMONDAY Famous Producers Offer Great Blackface Aggre-
 gatiOn Matinee and 
 Night

10 Manager Gus Hill Is due the honor of upsetting conventions in the theat- rical Armament, as attested by the won- derful success registered by his latest enterprise, Gus Hills Big Minstrels, which is to be the next attraction at the Jef- ferson theatre, Monday matinee and night.
 No minstrel offering of recent years can boast of more up-to-date features than this avalanche of burnt-cork tom foolery and laughter. Critics all over the country have pronounced it the last word in minstrelsy, combining so many unusual novelties, inimitable settings, bits, jokes, signers. dancers, vaudeville headliners and opponents of simon-pure Ethiopian wit and humor. Every angle of minstrelsy has been treated with a unique twist, resulting in a production bristling with a brightness and fresh- ness seldom found in single stage con- coction.
 Heading a company of 60 all-white gloom destroyers and purveyors of mirth and merriment Is George Wilson, a black face comedian of acknowledged skill Then will be found Jimmie Wall, Arthur Deming, Golden and Heins. Leighton and Kennedy, five Saxophones, Charles Kent, William Hallett, James Baradi Mark with brothers, Walter Cate, Sidney Dale, Eddie Horan, Al Fontaine, Carle S. Graves, Frank l.. Long, Aruthur Fulton, James Fireman and Al Lewis. If merit has any reward this show is bound to be the sensation as well as the toast of tho town. Watch for the stret parade. It will be worth your while.

"PA|R OF SEXES" NEW MAJESTIC BILL
 ALL THIS WEEK Splendid Story From Pen of Edward Peple Will Be Produced by Excellent
 Company

"A Pair of Sizes" will be the offer ing of the Maddaocks- Park players at the New Majestic this week.
 Theatregoers will remember that this was one of the big farce comedy suc- cesses of last season, and that the play had run of one year at the Longacre theatre in New York; also that it played Birmingham last season at $2 seat and did capacity bushes.
 "A Pair of Sizes" is from the pen of Edward Ieple and is one of the clever est plays that will be seen in Birming- nam this season.
 The story concerns George R. Nettle ton and T. Boggs Johns, manufacturers of a digestive pill, who are continually quarrelling about their respective claims of being the brains of their prosperous business. With burst of temper, each declares he wants to break the partnership. This is not easy to arrange, but when their lawyer comes they dispute as much about the details of the split as they had previously done about the details of the business. They agree that the one who wins shall be
 
 other is to be his servant for a year. If either party breaks this contract. he is to forfeit 5000 and his interest in the business. There are also numerous cash fines and penalties. Also absolute secrecy is demanded. This makes Bogg' position exceedingly painful to him when he is installed as butler in the Nettleton home and his sweetheart comes to visit them as a guest. He dares not tell her his reason for his me- nial position, and his tribulations are IT ade worse through the insistent in terest of very eccentric English serv- ant, who determines to capture him as a husband This amazing complication excites no end of amusing situations, and the fun is fast and furious until his sweetheart takes a hand in the game and proves that lone Queen of Hearts can beat "Pair of Sizes"
 "A Pair ot Sizes will be the attrac- ton at the New Majestic all this week.

 Under wars pressure we had to turn our faces to understanding not only pro- duction and machinery, but people; war forced us into seeing life with the com pleteness of unity.
