BUSINESS MAN MAKES A STRONG STATEMENT
 ENDORSING TANLAC

my stomach paining me. and never lsnev what feeling good meant. never felt able to go to my business more than half the time the other half | spent in bed had nervous spells that were so severe couldn't keep still and could hardly eat enough to keep soul and body to- gether. Really, I had commenced to think l couldn't live very much longer.
 had read number of testimonials that were given for Tanlac, but put lit- tie faith in it, as l had tried so many mediclnes only to be disappointed each time But finally I ran across a friend who had taken Tanlac and he praised it so highly that 1 concluded to see what it would do in my case. Well. the re- suits are, l have never felt better in my life, and my only regret is that I let my doubts interfere with my taking Tan lac long before l did. I am eating just anything l want and never have a pain or an uncomfortable feeling afterwards, and have also gained considerable weight l am entirely free from rheumatism and simply feel like man made new. I am TOW able to give my business all the time necessary. for I am in better phys- cal condition than l have been in fifteen years. It's a genuine pleasure for me to recommend Tanlac, for I feel that 1 am telling the people about a medicine that will help them"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store, and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; Ensley. Ezell Drug Co.,; Bessemer, Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,. North Birmingham Walker Drug Co.,, and East Lake F. G. Buren, fiel-Adv.

Al Gardelle and dainty Mary Lee, the principals, are clever enter tainers. Their singing as we'll as hat of the beauty chorus. 1sea decided feature. The scene effects are both novel and beautiful
 The picture features are unusually attractive and include Madame Tray erse in "The Tattlers," a photodrama of great interest that is superbly acted. Charlie Chaplin in The Count" one of his funniest roles, is an added attraction and with new comedy films, news service and other features make up a great programme
 From the applause standpoint Mills and Smith. couple of nick com edians, share the top honors with the musical comedy They have a rapid fire line of conservation that gets the laughs. and sing some good comedy songs. The yodeling at the close of the act is very effective.
 Dolly Hackett and Milt Francis made a decided hit with their clever comedy talk and harmonious singing. They have the pep" that is essential in an act of this kind and their material is new.
 Harry Watkins. The Chatterine Rink" opened the bill and got a big hand for an opener. His line of com edy chatter is very amusing and he certainly can put the kinks" in his person.

to the standard of regular big time vaudeville.
 Deal Roy and Bentty's paper dress miniature style show took first hon. ors. Signs of wonderment were heard all over the house when two beautiful giris started in to dancing The pro- gramme said that all the dresses in the act were made of paper. and the audi ence wondered what would happen if the little paper shoulder straps were to snap. When the end of the dance came the audience sighed with relief There was no danger of anything com ing loose; there simply wasn't any dress at all. The act is one of the niftlest and prettiest girlie shows that has been in Birmingham in some time There are nine people in the act.
 The Dawson Sisters, with Jack Stern in a clever song and dance hit Who Do You Love% ran the headliners a close race for the first spot The Lawson Sisters certainly rendered some fine dancing, but Jack Stern at the piano is the real treat of the act. His clever comedy songs which he writes himself, keep everyone in an uproar.
 Pretty Mary Dore. character come dienne, billed as magnetic maid of mimicry, came in with her share of the run. Her song about being lost in the great city was a scream
 Al Jerome, novelty equilibrist has the kind of act that is something above the ordinary. His act was short but well rendered

They hit the same train and as they leave the station Robert slips on a banana peeling and hits his head on sharp corner of the curbing.

 But the doctor has told Beth not to let him be moved. and the "doggoned- est" fight takes place between wife No. and wife No. over the uncon- scious husband. Beth wins and Sal lie sleeps on sofa in Beth's house. The next morning Robert is well enough to move. but he doesn't want to go. Then comes the. last syllable of the word 'Matrimony.'

TWIN BEDSY OPENS AT
 JEFFERSON TONIGHT

Irwin Beds, the Salisburg Field-Mar- garet Mayo laughing landslide, opens three-day engagement at the Jefferson Theater tonight through Thursday with a Thursday matinee.
 Theatrical records attest that Twin Beds" is one of the emphatic standing hits. II is a jovial rollicking comedy frolic with crowded apartment house as it's scene, the complexities of life shared too closely with the neighbors as the framework of it's action. and an intensely amusing, human group of people as it's portrait gallery. Its lines flash with fresh wit and new-coined slang and it's merit of clean wholesomeness shines benignly over character. lines and situation.
 Dainty Lois Bolton will again be seen in. the role of the enchanting young wife. Undoubtedly a cordial welcome awaits the young actress with her artless ways and ingenlons personality. Other inn portant players who have long been asso- ciated in the laugh-play are Thomas J. Evans, Virginia Fairfax, R. NJ D'Angelo. Katheryn Mills, Thomas H. Manning and Callie Van Vliet- A. s.

 Nazimova's versatility. her unique artistry, her ma gnetic personality, and her singular charm, make her distinc- tive in the cinema world unlike any one else on the screen today. and these are dominant in her interesting photo play, which is an adaptation of I. 4. R. wylie,s novel, The Hermit Doctor of Gaya.'
 Nazimova's husband Gin real life), Charles Bryant who is also her lead ing man." is the adaptor of the screen play. and he has done very artistic piece of work
 Few photoplays have the color and the atmosphere which Stronger Than Death" contains-as though built for the exclusive purpose of surround ing the star with all the exotic set tings" which so fully charterzes her makeup and nothing more pie turesque or more graphic has ever been played by Nazimova than this play, which gives her full scope for all her talents.
 Each picture that Nazimova presents shows a different angle of her vivid personality. her remarkable histrionic talent, and Stronger Than Death" adds lustre to her already long list of sue cesses and appeals to every class, kith and kind. D. D.
