- WALLACE REID AT THE STRAND

If Wally Reid is a friend of yours, you should call during his brief but delight ful illness at the Strand this week, where in, Sick Abed." he is doing his bit to cheer those who have forgotten the real way to be sick and are going about it Tn crude, out-of-date ways.
 As Reggie, Wally simply must get sick, for the time being at least, or appear in divorce suit as d principal witness against his best friend. So robust health gives way to a disease which his two doctors (who will stand for anything) select for him, and from then on there was enough to make his sickness a sad reality. What. with two doctors and a day and night nurse, who could keep well? But, luckily, the day nurse proves charming enough to give Reggie some thing to live for, and he spends several very profitable, pleasant, and, thanks to a court decree, exciting days sick abed.
 Supported by Bebe Daniels and a good cast. Wallace Reid is at his best in this olever farcical comedy.

"MARY'S ANKLE' SEEN
 THE COLONIAL

"Mary's An.le,' showing at the Colo nial today, is only disappointing in that it does not sufficiently live up to its name. But despite the fact that Mary's ankle does play a very minor part, ard really only gets spraned, it is a highly enjoyable picture, full of laughs and sun shine.
 Strictly speaking, the leading roles are played by a doctor without patients. a lawyer without clients and a financier without money. You can see for yourself that it was an impossible situation, and had Mary not sprained her ankle in the nick of time, the outcome would possibly have been deplorable. For cool and re- freshing comedy, "Mary's Ankle tops the list, and there is romance, too, of the light, good-humored variety.

After the conduit is laid work will begin on assembling the overhead cables and installing them within the consult, which will require some time.

CONSTANCE TALMADGE IS AT THE RIALTO

Constance Talmadge is scoring a per- sonal triumph in Up the Road With Sally,' showing at the Rialto today for the last time.
 She is playing in the role of a capti- vatng, little irresponsible, who takes a trip up winding road that just keeps on winding until it winds right into the most delightful romance that ever befeli woman. Sally is really highly respon-. sible young lady: but, like all really clever people she has the art of hiding Der very busy young brain under an air Of innocence. And it is this laughter producing art of the fascinating actress tlat is playing great part in making Up the Road With Sally such sue cess as a comedy brimful of fun and overflowing with romance.

SEX" AT THE ALCAZAR
 CAUSES THINKING

That aII is not fair in love IS ques- ticn which Sex" a romance of womalt at the Alcazar, is devoted to proving
 While necessarily including both sexes as inseparable in a romance of eitnei, the story is really wound about the fem in!ne experience in life, and the various troubles thereof caused mostly by the lack of a sense of fairness in others o' Ter sex. A sense of fairness is spoken of by Adrienne Renault, the leading woman character in the play, as "a lux uly' she cannot afford. And this general idea is carried out in life which is a menace to the happiness of all other women. Sex" treats squarely and vita force a subject that is interesting and vital. Further vitality is lent the story by remarkably good acting.

For the Good of
 the Community

THE resilient quality of southern in dustry has caused 1t to ride abreast of every disturbing wave. It has been buff feted, but never goes under
 Remote from foreign hordes and the power for evil which these unwilling tools of the malignant are made to become through practice on their ignorance, the south, the American south, goes straight ahead to the mark of achievement
 Vindication of the ability of the south, through it's assimilated and one-tongued people, to arrive at bases of agreement between man and man has piled up so rapidly in the past ten months as to have become the outstanding feature of the life intrinsically American.
 Each dispute down here has rested on it's own bottom. One evil has not become intertwined with others. With remark able single-mindedness the south has clearly visioned each threatened up heaval and, by means of it's common language and composite mind, forbade a pot pourri of unrelated misunderstood ings.
 Men have not been allowed to stand openly for one thing and covertly for an- other The searching manfulness of the south has compelled an honest exposition of the issue and decided that issue with the cards on the table face up.
 Birmingham knows how this has been done and why Perhaps it does not fully realize how much better off it has been the past ten months than the east.
 
 Birmingham prevented car strike by bringing all the involved elements into the light and arriving at a decision based on the facts and their bearing.
 A steel strike passed over Birmingham without putting out mill fire because this one-tongued and assimilated people declined to stand for pretended griev- ance that did not exist and whose as sumed garb was automatically pierced through by clear American intellect
 So, while there have been buffetings, the Birmingham district has had no com plicating and befuddling elements in it's industrial life.
 Already the four great pipe shops of the United States Cast Iron Pipe Com pany, which shut down on account of the coal car priority order, have resumed with cooperative arrangements effected be- tween them and the furnaces that prom ses continuous supply of the 1,2O0 tons of pig iron daily melted in these plants.
 Not sanitary pipe shop shut down. No large foundry or machine shop shut down.
 With the car priority order at it's height the National Steel Products plant at Bes- semer began operations

Dear Sir. My attention was
called to the fact you wish TO see
me with reference to the meeting
OF the Mt. Olive Sunday School
Convention at this Church ! will
aay and can only say that Bro.
Editor published that the Conven-
tion would have to have some 9TH
er place TO meet for reasons he
stated in the Gazett He did this
withot any authority from our pas
tor OF me or any one else as fer
have known. we had not with
drawn our invitation at that time
nor We had not even discussed do
ing so. But he in. his own power
made the statement to that effect.
hence there was nothing for us to
do but to let him or them or who
ever it was go on.
The same was done with the
Association with our knowning it
until it came out in the paper.
Now my dear Brorher French |
will take the responsibility on me
10 say this after such child s play
as that. we have decided to let
the S 5. Convention go where it
will please the editor that wrote it
up ] viii not encourage the enter
tanning of the Convention at all.
because he has did the same thing
the second time, we are NOT beg
giug TOR the meeting of bodies or
