Gillett Not . Politician
From The New Success.

From The NeW success.
 No doubt there are many congressman who come to Washington impressed with the belief that eventually they will be ac- corded the gavel and the right to pre- side over the House, and they may lay their plans accordingly; but too often they plan their campaigns falsely. There is too much advertising, too much atten- ton to the smoothing of the way, too many alliances with assistants.
 MT. Gillett took none of these roads
 to success. He is not that type. If he
 wanted to be speaker back in the days
 of the Fifty-third Congress. when he first
 appeared as representative of the Sec ond Massachusetts district, he gave no
 indication of it. His first duty was to be . good congressman, and the rest would follow, he believed. Gillett is not . politician. He can not be pictured back in the district chuckling babies under the chin and making deals with local bosses. There is more polish to the cam paiEns of this slight man with the sandy beard, the courteous air and unassumins manner. Besides he is Now Highlander, . man whose forebears, traditions and training have all prepared him for ca reer of dignity. He plays the political game in the open like . sportsman, nnak- hg ne concessions to cheap methods

THE MARKET OF SOULS"
 AT THE STRAND

Dorothy Dalton, who has been seen by motion picture enthusiasts as dance hall girl. uncouth maiden of the north west and the society woman, is giv- ing to the screen a new portrayal in her latest Paramount-Arteraft release, '"The Market of Souls" which played in Birmingham for the first time Thursday to enthusiastic crowds
 The famous emotional star, who is ranked as one of tho greatest the screen has ever known, has the role of nurse who comes from a little upstate town in New York to New York city. There she finds love and hate and finally happiness.
 She comes to visit a former school girl friend until she can find a posi- tion. This friend has married a wealthy man and moves in a fast so- cial set. One night the nurse returns home with a dissolute young man and having lost her key waits the coming of her friends in his rooms. He tries to force his attentions upon her, and at this point her friends. who is in love with the man, walks in. In a jealous rage the nurse is ordered from the house.
 Then the older brother of the rake calls to find out about the girl, and the younger man lies about her. The brother is enraged and in the fight that follows the older is struck over the head and blinded. The nurse IS called in. but she hides her identity under an assumed name. However, as soon as the brothers sight is restored and he learns who she Is he sends har away again. How the younger brother is killed in France and reunites the lovers forms an absorbing climax The Market of Souls" will be the attra ction at the Strand today and Saturday.
 Somebody said Jack Holt, Bessie Bar riscale's leading man, was hard hearted just because he doesn't smile all the time. l but most of the fair fans like Jack be- l cause he is the serious sort, like Conway l Tearle and Elliott Dexter Jack has a l smile all right that he takes out and puts
 on when occasion demands and he als has a heart or he couldn't put over the

|PAT DUNCAN SURE l T0P[AY IN SERIES
Former Baron Fly-Chaser Making Hit With Big Leaguers

Chicago September IS. tSpeoal) Manager Pat Moran is going to lead the Cincinnati Reds into the worlds series next month with raw recruit, a minor leasuer, who is hardly had time to earn his spurs playing left field. Pat Drna- can of Birmingham is the one who will playsleft field for the Reds in the world 8 SO much stuff in every department of
 the game that he seems to be a fixture
 in left field.
 Duncan is only a recruit, but has taken to his task with so much enthusiasm
 that he has advanced with rapidity and
 has proved an apt pupil under Moran.
 Duncan has been seen in action here, and the fielding he did against the Cubs
 impressed the local fans and convinced them that the Reds will not be weak in left field, unless the youngster is both-
 cred with stage fright, but it is not ex- pected that he will be, judging from the way he has taken up the major league work.
 In the last series the Reds played with the Cubs Duncan was not easily fooled at the plate and famed only once ir the four games. He got two hits oil I Speed Martin, two bases on balls ol Vaughn, single off Carter and one of Hendrix. Alexander was the only on<
 he failed to hit safely, but even the Cut star did not strike him out.

JASPER

Jasper. September 18-(Special .)-Poli- tics in old Walker has begun to assume some life Most interest is centered in the candidacy of L. B. Musgrove for United States !Senate. The Walker County Musgrove Volunteer club has been organized with several hundred members. The friends of MT. Musxruve claim they expect to make Walker county 90 per cent strong for him over any other candidates. Many of his friends are now engaged in campaigning the state in his interest. Walker county has always been strong for Hobson. and since Hobson and Musgr0ve have always been such close political friends, it Is expected that Musgrove will carry . Eeavy vote here.
 There is beginning to be talk in the Tenth congressional who will oppose Will Bankhead for reelection The Tenth has always been a second Arxonne forest battlefield for politicians. It in- | herited some of these traits from the Sixth. for in the days of Oliver Bank head and other Sixth district fights many | memories came down. The Hobson- | Bank-head and Gibson Bankhead fights | remain fresh in tho minds of the voters. | So it begins to look as if the Tenth
 would not be entirely deprived of an-
 other political fight this winter and spring. There are several mentioned as probable candidates. Most of these are
 from the western part of the district. | Local political happenings are quiet as
 yet. The Walker County. High school had it's opening in the main auditorium of
 the High school building yesterday The
 attendance was record breaker, there
 being 215 enrolled. The two dormitories
 are 0verflowing and it has become neces- 1 sary for the people of the town to open
 homes to accommodate the boarding stu
 dents.
 Addresses were made by Rev. George Harris. presiding elder of the Jasper dis
 trict; Rev. J. J. Haywood, pastor of Jas
 per Baptist church: Rev. Curl. pastor of
 Empire Methodist church, and Professor Scofield, superintendent of city schools. The Walker County High school has grown to be ono of the leading high schools of Alabama, under the superin- tendency of Prof. J. Alex Moore. Pro lessor Moore has been at the head of this school for seven years and each lyear has shown great development. He has been instrumental in putting intp ipractice and operation the Smith Hughes vocational bill in, this county. The fruits of his work can be seen in every community in the county by the eleva- tion of citizenship and improved com Immunity life.

LYRIC PLEASES
 WITH, NEW BILL

The Novelty Clintons opened the show
 at the Lyric yesterday and it may be
 noted at the start that the Lyric bill
 for the latter half of the week is a
 smooth, easy flowing performance that is bound to please.
 The C1intons have a real good act and present some unique ideas and are followed by Bronson and Rizzo, the Jazz boys who more than please with their jazz selections and jazxy ways. Hale Norcross, Virginia Milton and Harry Codaire present Love in the Suburbs in very talented and pleas ing way, and it seems that this popu- lar playet will never grow old with vaudeville patrons, as it received the same measure of applause and appre- citation yesterday that has in years gone by,
 Charles and Madeline Dunbar have an act in Animal F'unology" that oc- cupies an unique place in vaudeville and in the course of the fifteen minutes that it takes the act to run its way one is transported back in memory to l the barnyard days down on tho farm, with side light of city life anent | the cats in the back yard. | The act goes well and pleases. and some clever work is done by both par l ties. l Vera Burt and her five syncopated steppers close the bill, and Miss bur' l is not only a good dancer herself, bu she has in her act five young men who are away above the average and who are graceful dancers and pleasing sing eres.
 All worked as if they liked it and thu result Is that the audience is with then from start to finish, and they close thu
 show leaving one and all with tho feel ing that they have seen a performance worth the time and money expended.
