NEW POLICY FOR
LOCAL MOVIE HOUSE
New Manager of Strand and
Other Theatres to Start
Big Publicity Campaign

An important and far-reaching mo-
ton picture advertising campaign will
be launched in Birmingham in a few
days, according to an announcements
made by Charles G. Branham, specia!
representative of the s. A. Lynch En-
terprises. Inc, of Atlanta. Mr.. Bran
ham came to this city yesterday to
take charge of the Strand. Colonial ADD
Odeon Two theatres, which are oper
ated by the Lynch organization.
For the most part this campaign will
be for Paramoun pictures
which are distributed exclusively by
the Lynch enterprises in IL southern
states. However. it is said that all
film features shown at the Strand and
Colonial. whether bearing the Para
mount-Artcraft trade mark or not, will
be exploited in a big way.
Owing to the fact that the Strand
theatre is the first of the Lynch houses
to show each new photoplay of this
corporation in this territory. Birming-
ham has been selected as the pivotal
spot for the exploitation of pictures.
Each picture shown at the Strand VIII
be studied from every possible angle
in order that the advertising campaign
mapped out for this city may be fol-
lowed in other houses which will later
show these films.
Mr. Branham will organize an ad-
vertising and publicity department,
which will work in conjunction with
John c. Finn, director general of s.d.
vertising for ParamountArtcraft.
Various forms of advertising will be
employed in this campaign, and 1T is
expected that representa- of the
corporation in New York will visit this
city at intervals to assist in the work
and to show the exhibitors of this ter
ritory the best and most attractive
ways to sell their pictures to the pub
lie.
I'VE mean to give Birmingham the
,est entertainment the motion picture
industry affords" said Mr.. Branham.
The fact that all of the new produce
tons will be shown here many days
before they are in other cities of this
section and that each production will
be backed by an individual eXploita-
ton campaign and presented in highs
music setting for every picture as
sures this city as fine entertainment
as that of cities many times this size
in other parts of the country"

To Await Action of Grand
jury Percy Smith, Alleged
BigamiSt, Also Held,

Santiago Montoya was employed as
a machinists helper at the Santa Fe
shops. His rate of pay was 60 cents
an hour. Apparently, however, San

enough, so he passed several forged
checks Now he's in Jail under $500
bond to await the action of the grand
jury.
Santiago was arrested yesterday. It
was alleged that he had passed a
checks for S25 on each. G. May, j.
Dreyfuss and b, Marcus, also a check
for the same amount on woman He
at first denied the charge, but Messrs.
May Dreyfuss and Marcus were called
to the police station and identified
him as being the man who passed the
checks. The checks We're made out
to Juan Garcia and the name of Vic
torino Sanchez was signed to them.
Montoya was Immediately arraigned
before Judge Mcclellan and entered
a plea of guilty. He was bound over
to await the action of the grand jury
and his bond wass fixed at $500.

was arrested Monday night on a big
amy charge, was arraigned yesterday
afternoon. He waived preliminary

the action of the grand jury. His bail
was fixed at $1,000.
Smith Was married last Friday to
Miss Clara Smith of this city. For
several weeks he was an inmate of the
Murphey sanatorium. Unfortunately,
for him, at least, his brother-in-lw is
stopping at the same institution. When
the latter read the published notice
of the marriage license having been
issued, he is said to have taken imme-
diate action which led to Smiths ar
rest. Smith, it is said, has wife and
child living at S401 Melrose avenue,
st. Louis, Mo. His first marriage took
place in September, 1916. Wife No.
Is maiden name was Miss Mary

sace-Lorraine fighting, and was
gassed during the battle in the Ar
gonne forest, He had re-enlisted in
the army as single man.
Pedro Arrese caused the arrest of
Paul Schubert, alleging that he had
paid Schubert $40 to watch some
sheep for him and that Schubert had
not fulfilled the contract. Schubert
alleged that he worked few days and
was then taken i'll and has been una
BILE to work since then. Arrese wanted
Schubert to return the unearned part
of the $40, but the latter had spent the
money and didn't have a sou. 1t was
finally arranged for Schubert to get
a job as soon as he is able to work
and reimburse Arrese. This seemed to
satisfy everybody
