An enthusiastic reception was given the Dill for the weekend at Loew's Bijou by capacity audiences last night, and it was well deserved The programme matches up entirely to the advance mo- tices and there is not dull number on it.
 Headed by Arthur Deagon, the star of so many musical successes, the vaude- Vile programme is thoroughly enjoy- able and the picture feature. Taylor Holmes in Nothing But the Truth is one or the most entertaining of the late screen productions
 In series of songs and stories that were entirely original Arthur Deagon Kept the audience entertained every min ute ne was on the stage. His song se- iectlons included some of the ones he made famous in musical comedy, and his comedy talk kept the crowd in a continual uproar. He was given gen CT ous applause that was well deserved.
 A sharpshooting novelty, with ot1fer features, was the offering of Max Le- Hoen and Leone Dupreece and scored big hit. Apart from their marvellous craftsmanship this couple have a line or clever talk that adds much to the enjoyment of this really clever act
 Victor Stone and the Moyea sisters, Roy and Dot, present a terpsichorean number that is class all the way through.

 On their raft they meet with 'The Duke" and The King" and join their
 party, but the royal company proves

What adventure would 1t have been, if we'd CT freed Jim, and he'd Ter known he wuz already free?" asked Tom Sawyer when he and Huckleberry Finn were reproached for the elabor ate emancipation that they delivered to Jim, the negro slave.
 Quest of adventure-that is the key Eote to the charming little story by that wonderful humorist, Mark Twain, "Huckleberry Finn which has been dramatized so colorfully that the characters have simply come to life. This photoplay is showing today and tomorrow at the Strand theatre, and those who miss it will miss the chance to see their own youth spread out be- fore them. For the eternal boy, the imaginative creature who lives in a world of his own making, is typified in the title character, Huckleberry Finn.

here in vaudeville It is story writ ten by Mir Kent himself who is well known actor, having starred in many productions which were considered as the best of their time.
 In "A Dash of Class" two girls and a man sing and dance in a very pleas ing manner As indicated in the title, they present their act with class, and the audiences proved very appreciative.
 The music which has wound itself most around the hearts of the people of the south is that of the old banjo. And when the banjo is in the hands of such artists as George and Ray Perry the result is a really fine act. They play the latest song numbers in manner that makes a hit and also handle classic music in the same style.

"Tanlac Is the Most Won derful Medicine on Earth"
 She Gratefully Declares.

It is, indeed, doubtful if there has ever been a statement. in all the many thousands that have been made about Tanlac, that is more interesting or more clearly and forcibly defines the remarkable powers of the medicine than the following from Mrs. Mollie Griffith, of 2S45 East Indiana street, Evansville, Ind.
 Mrs. Griffith. Aunt Mollie, as she is affectionately called by her many friends, while discussing Tanlac, which has proved of such great benefit to her, seemed to be profoundly grateful and told the special Tanlac represen- stative she wanted her statement pub lished in the papers so that the people may read what Tanlac has done for her Here is what she says:
 ssWhen my next-door neighbor told me how much good Tanlac has done her and advised me to try it. 1 thought it impossible for it to help me. I had suffered so long and tried so many diff ferent medicines without any benefit that I just didn't believe anything could help me, but l know better than that now I believe as firmly as I be- lieve anything that Tanlac has saved my life. Not only that, am so wei and happy that go all over the neigh borhood rejoicing over the good Tan lac has done me.

Alabama Equal Suffrage As sOciatiOn Officially Ceases

Montgomery, April -(Special) )-The
 Alabama Equal Suffrage Association. a
 factor in Alabama for several years.
 officially ceased to exist Thursday and
 the League of Women Voters officially took it's place. Feeling that the fight
 for national woman suffrage has been
 won and that the Anthony amendment
 will be ratified within two weeks, mem
 bers of the former organization decided
 that it's work is done and that it must
 now take up the work of banding to- gether the women upon whom the du- ties of citizenship will fall as soon as the federal department of state has proclaimed the ratification of the
 amendment by thirty-six of the forty eight states.
 The decision was made at the jubilee meeting of the suffrage association which began at the capitol in the sen ate chamber Thursday. Addresses were delivered by prominent suffragists, who agreed that the fight which has been carried on throughout many years has ended in complete victory. The speakers ignored the fact that the l thirty-sixth state has not yet placed l it's approval on the amendment and de- | clared that it is now a matter of days
 until the dream of years will come | true.
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who gave her life to the campaign for votes for women, came in for praise, and Mrs. I A. T. Goodwin of Montgomery made an
 address in which she told of the work
 done by pr. Shaw and of the misfor- tune of her death shortly before her l efforts reached fruition.
 | Although defeated in Alabama dur ing the session of the legislature last year. those who represented the ors
 ganization during the time the amend ment was before the lawmakers de- clared that every consideration was given by the legislators and that no complaint could be made other than that the legislatures majority could 1 not take sides with those who believed Alabama should be among the states 1 to ratify the amendment.
 l The jubilee will end with a business session Friday afternoon, during which officers will be selected for the League of Women Voters. A public meeting was held Thursday night during which addresses were delivered by several candidates for public office.
