HABIT OF HAPPINESS"
 DOUG AT COLONIAL

"The Habit of Happiness" with Douglas Fairbanks at the Colonial, comes as an offering that is difficult to classify. While supposed to be comedy, there is underlying depth in the story of young man who realized the value of good laugh, to set about to teach others the art. An impracti- cal effort to give them simply the physical ability to laugh by some pure ly vocal exercises detracts from tha humor of the play. However the les son once over, the play is allowed 70 develop a fair amount of humer.

LODelY Jean Johnson

NIT of a perfectly clear SKY there | II II dropped into Birmingham the oth- NJ CT day one of the most charming and lovely young artists that It mas ever been the good fortune of this com munity to entertain.
 Lovely Jean Johnson, with her radiant personality and delightful enthusiasm her finished musicianship and her nat 1 urcIIv lovely voice!
 Could any enc individual wish for more?
 Jean Johnson is gifted. not only in the matter of belng endowed with voice of beautiful quality, but with race 1 and folm as lovely as her voice and' best of all, seething, never. :lrlng brain bower back of it all, capable of work ing cut problems and solving them to her own satisfaction as Well as to the | satisfaction of everybody else. | It is always d pleasure to me to meet young, beautiful, enthusiastic girl with ambition-a worthy ambition-ah ambition to do big things-not to be content with medioerity-something org l inal-different.
 1 Wasn't it one of the Countess de la Ramee,s heroes who declared that he'd rather be "an ill-bred originality than well-bred nonentity?"
 Anyway, Jean Johnson declares her brown eyes flashing and her pretty lace wreathed in smiles, that always she has had one goal in view-one ideal before her-to attain something worth while scrnething that is real, genuine!
 That she has done so is an established fact with those who have been so for- tunate as to hear her lovely voice, and lnow she stands ready, after years or Iarduous study, to make her bow as concert artist-never willing before to ae- eede to the wishes of her many friends and admirers to make the epochal event in her life, because, as she frankly says, she was never ready until now.
 "So many singers are not musicians,
 Miss Johnson told me as we glanced
 over charming letters to her from her
 former teachers, Madame Marcella Sem brich and Mir Frank LaForge, those eminent masters of vacality and music

 "This is evidenced largely in the case

 son continued. AS a composer, pianist,
 accompanist, teacher, his culture and
 his intellect stand back of all his work.

Federation of Labor Leader Is Only

Obligation.

There is apparently little interest
displayed in labor circles over the fact
that Samuel Gompers, Federation Of
Labor leader, is endeavoring to swing
the labor vote to the candidates of
the Democratic party. Other promi-
nent labor leaders explain the little
interest that Gompers' effort has cre-
ated through calling attention to the
fact that the latter always has been
a dyed in the wool partisan Demo-
craft
A few years ago Gompers was a
candidate for lieutenant governor in
New York on the Democratic ticket.
His son is now the holder of an Of
flee by Wilson appointment, and
Gompers himself has been officially
related to the present administration.
w. S. Burton, representative of the
Iron, Steel and Tin workers of Ohio
says at is we'll recognized by organ
lied labor men that Sam Gompers is
a radical Democrat and that no plank
that could have been placed in the
Republican platform would receive
from Gompers single good word"
Burton further says: If Governor
Cox depends on organized labor to
elect him he has my sympathy, for he
can call himself a beaten man now.
You can rest assured that the iron,
steel and tin workers Of the United
States will not support Wilson and
Cox, and others of the more important
labor organizations are equally open
in their opposition to the Democratic
candidates."
