FARNUM AT ALCAZAR
 IN SPLENDID DRAMA

It is somewhat in the nature of a resurrection that Dustin Farnum is again delighting audiences here in pos sibly the best play in which he Las ever been seen. Big Happiness" at the Alcazar, has brought the popular actor back again after his long ab- sence from locals screens. In this rew vehicle Farnum appears in role that lis a splendid portrayal of dramatic emotion of the finer type. His style is most noticeably different from u at of William Farnum in his red oIooded stories of adventure The two Far nuns have often been the subjects f a. confusion of style, if not identity. But the east is no farther from the west than is the appeal of the two actors.
 Big Happiness" is a play founded cn much the same idea as The Masquer- ader," the popular novel which re- lates the story of two men bea ing such strong resemblance that one is even able to assume the place of the other in his own household. It is a theme that offers an opportunity for fine dramatic developments and it is beautifully handed in Big Happiness" The play comes to a climax in a strange and satisfying fashion.

WALLY REID AND
 LOIS WILSON-STRAr1n

The briefest moment of ill-gotten pleas ure must reap it's payment in full from lifes piper-fate. In Greenwich Village, that dowdy but famous haunt of a great city, the cradle of tangled ideas and warped souls, these moments are the rule with their snarled code of freedom.
 In Harriet and the Piper;'' a wonder ful drama, showing at the Trianon the story of a lonesome girl who accepted a flash of happiness in preference to lonl- ness, is aptly told. It is a play with something new in plot and decidedly striking in setting and subject matter There have been few pictures that have succeeded in making such bold attack on the fancies and warped ideas of the group of half-mad fanatics that com pose the village
 In direct opposite to this haunt of western civilization is brought forth the eastern idea in the Hindu, who is so re- lentless in his punishment of an offender with. "the vengeance of Aallah death 10 all despoilers of sacred womanhood." It is all deeply impressive, and the roles are played by capable and efficient actors. Anita Stewart is more beautiful than ever in this picture, where she takes the role of the misled girl As usual, her performance is full of feeling and intensely convincing.

 It is the purpose of Raymond Hitch cock to make this organization which will be seen here permanent institu- tion like Ziegfield's Follies and to make unusual tours of the smaller cities of the country, exactly as the "Follies" organization visit and revisit a hand ful of the bigger cities year after year. "Hitchy- Koo" itself has come to be a 'permanent institution in New York and Chicago and there is no question that each season will see new yer sion of this frankly admitted hodge-podge of fun, music and girls.
 The cast includes Stan Stanley, Jack Riano, Fifer Trio, Bert Leighton, John Haw Frank Cornell, Juanita Cunning ham, Baby Josephine, Ruth Dow ler. Ollie Northlane Bagley Sisters. Helen Collins.

BILL AT LYRIC FEATURED BY NOVELTY ACTS

Corrine Griffith, in Babes Canoi- date" and Fox News Weekly are the screen attractions that open up yhe bill at the Lyric for the first half If the week. From the opening number throughout novelty is the predomi- hating note. The opener is a most un- usual and surprising way of putting on an acrobatic act, It is represented as "The Bachelors Vision" and the acrobatic stunts brought in on the de. It is novel too, for the acrobat to make an instructive health talk which was received appreciatively by the audi ence.
 They make way for Three Eo- hemians," two pretty and graceful girls and a man with a personality suggestive of Caruso. He sang two cf Caruso's operatic songs which, with the dancing and songs of the girls, was well received and got a good encore
 The laugh hit of the bill is the act cf Paul Kleist and Company. The con- pany never appears. as Paul keeps the spectators laughing all alone. The 2 ct is a novelty marine scenic effect and kleist makes the difficult attempt of entertaining without the spoken word and succeeds beyond all expectations
 Then came on Eckert and Moore in an absurd little comedy skit called "Oh Captain" They went over big and had to make several bows before they could make place for the Ara Sisters The sisters are splendid dancers and presented a dance creation which was a novel presentation of dances of diff ferent nations. Their costumes were brilliant and effective.

ANITA STEWART IN
 STRIKING ROLE-TRIANON

Wallace Reid and Lois Wilson appear together at the Strand this week in What's Your Hurry?' a sporting story of a daredevil racer of spectacular tame. This is somewhat the usual picture that Wally has been featured in so often re. gently, and possesses a plot that is be- coming rather staple with Wally, and from which he seems unable to extricate himself for some incomprehensibe req son.
 There is the same prospective father in-law to be convinced of the business qualities of his would-be son, who IS the same speed maniac that he has been in other appearances. There is some what the same idea throughout, only the outcome is different and really feverishly exciting.
 One great difference in What's Your Hurry?' however. is found in the cast Our own Lois Wilson appears in ths leading feminine role and is decidedly better than most of Reid's leading ladies' Miss Wilson gives very good perform ance, but the story really does not allow her much opportunity.

CITY SCHOOLS ARE
 PACKED ID LIMIT
Record Attendance on Opening Day-Need for More
 Room Evident

Public schools of Birmingham opened Monday morning with the largest st- tendance in the history of the city. The conditions are very crowded, though everything has been done to relieve the teachers and pupils of the congestion as much as possible.
 No definite figures have been ob- tained yet on the increase in the IT, rollment, but indications are that he gain over last year will be very large. Although parents have been urged not to send their children until they are seven years old, it looks as though the schools in most sections will be filled in every available crevice and crarny with six-year- old children. Owing to the crowded conditions, it has heen deemed advisable by the board of 0du- cation to recommend that parents ] eep their six-year-old children at home, though they are at liberty to send them.
 Promotions and assignments of books and book lists took up most of the morning. The majority of the schools closed at II o'clock. The reg ular schedule of lessons will begin Tuesday and school will be in session until o'clock, the regular closing hour Pupils are expected to have all books and supplies ready to begin real work this morning.
 Teachers were wearing their pret- tiest and smartest frocks for the open ing of school, for they realize that a pretty teacher has the advantage and that first impressions are always n ost lasting.
 At the Central and Ensley Hi gh Schools regular programmes were held in the auditoriums. Addresses of well come to the first year classes were features of the exercises.
 The following programme was car ried out at Central High School:

WOMEN CASTVOTE IN bESSEMER ELECTION

Bessemer, September 20--(SpeciaiD The general election for city officials was held Monday and great deal of enthusiasm and interest was manifested on account of the women at the polls The Bessemer women lost no time in using their new privilege, as they were among the first ones at the, polls when they were opened.
 Mrs. Velma Long, one of the oldest cit iZens of Bessemer, was waiting at the polls when the hour came to vote and was the first woman in BeSsemer and, it is believed the first woman in the state of Alabama to cast vote. Qulte good deal of surprise was caused at the appearance of women clerks. who assisted at the election. Mrs. A. D. Sturdvant and Mrs. White Hornso2 were at the Third ward and Mrs. Mary Gilen at the city hall
 It was particularly interesting to watch the women as they approached the bal lot box, with their registration certif'- cates, and it was interesting to note that they represented women of all ages. In some instances a mother came in with her grown son and in another, mother and daughter would vote together; ole women with hair perfectly white and numbers of young women.
 With only a few exceptions every woman in Bessemer who registered voted today and their names will be recordel as among the first in Alabama and the south to exercise their privilege under the eighteenth amendment to the con- stitution.
 The officials elected today were: E. c. Jones. mayor; George Ross, president of the city counci Moss Crotwell and Lin- ney Lipscomb, aldermen for the First ward; Jap Bryant and L. E. Ling, for the Second ward; R. M Mingea and w.. A. Simmons. for the Third ward; c. H. Dabhs and E. D. Thomas, for the Fourth ward, and w. T. I4oveless and w. R.

You can not overestimate the im- portance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body, you can readily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious complica- tions.
 Any slight disorder or impurities is a source of danger, as every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform it's functions.
 Many painful and dangerous dis eases are the direct result of bad condition of the blood Among the most serious are Rheumatism, with it's

Yesterday the New York Times in three column
editorial urged upon the Democrats Of the nation the
nomination Of John w. Davis Of carksburg, at present
ambassador to Great Britain, for the presidency The
editorial is remarkable in number Of ways and 1t
pity none Of the Democratic newspapers Of the state
had the initiative to take the lead for Davis in the same
mastery way. 1t really seems as IL the movement to
make Ambassador Davis an important figure at the San
Francisco convention sustained set back as soon as
the Democrats Of West Virginia began to organize 1t
However, the effort Of The Times, which Is bound to
attract great deal Of attention throughout the country
will rehabtate the Davis movement which to tell the
truth, contains excellent possibilities for the Democratic
party in the nation John w. Davis is, as The Times
says, great man, great American, and he probably
is greater Democrat than most Of the men who loom
larger as candidates for the nomination
