CLARENCE" |SF|NE
 COMEDy-JEFFERSON
Booth Tarkington's Newest Success, "CIarence," Has
 Won Strong Approval

Plays may come and plays may go, like the waters of Tennysons brook, but only now and then comes along one with the tonic quality which makes the ex- penditure of time and money worth while. The new comedy, Clarence" by Booth Tarlkington. would seem to have 'the edge" on both these risks.
 The first is the play, the creation of one of the foremost writers of our time. The second is that it was produced by George C. Tyler known to theatre-goers all over the nation as the man who has brought numerous sterling successes to the stage. And the third is that "Clar- ence' comes bearing the mark of strong approval of both New York and Chicago.
 In the cast Of players that will present Clarence" here are Robert Adams, Byron Beasley, Thomas Kelly, Ruth Nero, Beth Franklyn, Florence Fair, Eleanor Montell, Joe Wallace, Guy D. Emery and James T. Ford Clarence" will be presented at the Jefferson theatre for three days. beginning Monday eve hing, December 20, with matinee on We'd resday. This will be the first engage rnent in Birmingham of the new comedy

RALPH |NCE IN. ''0UT
 OF TIE SHOWS"

Paiph 1nce. aided by Zena Keefe and q capable cast of supporting players for the fore part of the week will bring to Loew's Bijou theatre a new National picture, "Out of the Snows," and the re- suit is one of the best pictures seen this season.
 The story is one that is unconven- tionai, even if. the setting of the Can adian northwest is more or less familiar to the patrons of the phetoplay The plot tells of the love of young Holiday for Ruth Hardy, Just at the moment of their greatest happiness a cloud ap- pears on the horizon in the form of Blakeman, a fur trader. He tells Ruth that Holiday has killed her father. She leaves and Holiday does not know why. He turns to his work to find relief Baakeman crosses the path of the law and this results in some spectacula, scenes in which the best man wins and the truth is uncovered.
 Out of the Shows Is the first of q series of pictures starring Ralph Ince and dealing with that wide diversified jon of life that is found on the North American continent. From the bandit harried Mexican border to the frozen wastes of Hudson Bay live men and women whose romances and trage1ies could furnish plots for a host of enter. taining photoplays.

ates somewhat from her more serious roles of the past, and. according to pre- view reports, is more captivating than ever, revealing a surprising versatility AS Daphne Breton, she has the role of a young girl who has missed one of life s greatest treasures-mother love-and who IS left to the care of preoccupied fa- ther, blinded to all else but the pursuit of the dollar.
 Lacking the influence of devoted mother, she develops into a capricious young woman whose disregard for cer- tain of society's conventions as fash ionable boarding school make her very much misunderstood. She is expelled from school one evening when Richard Wiltoner, college boy. is found in her room, in spite of the fact that the cir cumstances surrounding his presence there, are perfectly proper.
 But her old dad and the young fellow of the boarding school escapade for whom Daphne still retains strong llz- ing come to the rescue in an unexpected fashion.

the former, and the man who is torn between the two women Besides these characters are others of importance all affected by the havoc wreaking selfish ness of one woman.
 The selfish woman is rich, petted and loved, but she wants more and more luxury until her husband faces crime to satisfy her desires In a pique she goes to q magnificent home he has built for her to live alone. But ennu overtal1es her. and she sees an opportunity to es- cape from boredom when she catches sight of the handsome young doctor in the village.
 He has but recently found the girl he loves and who loves him. But this means nothing to the woman and she sets out to win him for the sheer pleas ure of making another conquest. Where all this leads brings the story to smashing conclusion.

It Is impossible to say just which is the bootlegging mind in the immediate personnel of the Henry Lehrman movie studio, but there is one. Whether it is ,,the fertile brain of the producer himself, or that of the agile Al Ray, or mayhap even the demure Charlotte Dawn, who is irresponsible for the tsubtle ideas to beat the eighteenth amendment, is not known, but certain it is, from all reports, that some methods of dispensing the Merry, merry (which smack of practical use) have been incorporated in MT. Lehrmans $ latest First National comedy, Wet and Warmer. This comedy is filled with pretty girls and clever comedians and is a riot of laughter.
 Well-known players in the cast are John Sainpolis, who has the title role of l"Old Dad;' Mildred Harris, Myrtle Sted- man, Irving Cummings, Hazel Howell Edwin Brown, Loyola O'Connor, Bess Mitchell and Tula Belle The scenario was prepared by J. Grubb Alexander and lMadge Tyrone, two of fildoms cleverest subtitlers.

 The climax is one of the most amazing ever seen in any picture and every spec tator will be agreeahly surprised at the totally unexpected finale.
 In this production, MT. Reid interprets both a character and a. straight part In the one, he is Perry Danton, a. young San Francisco millionaire, and in the other. he is Slim Attucl1s, a gentleman crook and check forger It so happens that the men were born on the same day, and both are as nearly alike as two blackblrds.
 The crook sees in this situation a splendid scheme for accommodating wealth, and on a dark night after making elab- crate preparations, he shanghaies the mil lionaire and steps right into his home and social life, even continuing the million- aires affair with his sweetheart. Inn probable as 1t may seem, it is the mill lionalre who wears the beard the req son being that he returns to San Fran cisco penniless after being shan ghaied and gets back by working his way as a. sailor on a. tramp steamer. The finish is a smashing surprise.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug 23. Russias ability to export raw mater ials in the near future has been greatly overestimated by foreign countries in the opinion of Col. E. Engleharh, formerly member of the RussiaM Duma, and a student of economic conditions in Russia be fore and after the revolution In talk with Associated Press Cor respondents. he said that foreigners seem to fail to realize the collapse of the Russian transportation system, reduced man-power and rundown conditions of the Russian farm lands.
 This comment was evoked by the reports of the negotiations of the Russian economic agents with Pre-, mier Lloyd George in London and the announcement that the United States had lifted prohibitions upon American trade with Soviet Russ
 Col. Englehard is confident that Russia will again play an important role in European markets, but, he said, "the revival of Russian trade established a normal state of life when men shall renounce attempts of establishing immediately the par adise of communism.
 Russias Size Reduced
 "It should be borne in mind that I... +1,, reduced in size" said Col Engle hard. Formerly it had over 4,000,- 900 square kilometers of land and 157 100000 inhabitants. Poland. Fin land, a great part of the Caucasus md several Baltic provinces with about 5O,00O000 inhabitants and 1250,000 square kilometers of land have detached themselves. The greater part of these detached ter ritories ordinarily had notable surplus of grain and other farm pro duets which constituted the major part of Russia's exports.
 "In 1913, the last year when con ditions were normal in Russia. ex- ports were valued at 100000 0G0 gold rubles, or s750.00G000 The greatest single item in the export list was grain. The total grain ex ports were 12.S7O,O0O tons. valued at $325 100000 European Russia used to harvest 5S,5O0,000 tons of grain annually. With it's reduced area with the breaking up of the big es. tates, lack of machinery and ruin wrought by continuous war in many of it's most fertile areas, it may be affirmed that the grain harvest of the Soviet Republic will scarcely reach 31,5OOOO0 tons annually One cannot count on any considerable
