Squaring The Deal.

Most people are al heart
advocates of the square deal.
II Is a natural trait of the
American people, and the resi-
dents of this community are
not backward in this respect.
Shall we incorporate the
spirit of the square deal into
our Christmas spirit this year ?
Shall we go even further and
make il a square deal for our
selves, and for the community
that shelters and feeds us?
Our people for number of
years have enjoyed large
measure of material prosper
ity. This fact is reflected in
the community life, in the
clothes that we wear. in the
food we eat, and in every act
of our daily existence.
II will be reflected in the pur-
chases we make for the holiday
season. which will be upon "A
liberal scale, though possibly
not eXtravagant.
II is not within the province
OF the editor TO tell our people

MAE PARK ID STAR IN THE PRINCE CHAP AT THE MAJESTIC
Maddocks-Park Players to Present Charming Play This Week-Cast Care
 fully Selected

Little Mae Park who has for the past thirty weeks pleased her patrons py her earnest endeavors and become oiie of the biggest stock favorites ever seen in Birmingham, will appear next week in a play which will give her the best opportunity in characteriza tion since her first appearance In thls city.
 Manager Maddocks states that ow- ing to the fact that there will be only ten more weeks of stock at the Ma jestic this season they have selected ten of the leading favorite plays pos sible, to fit the personality Of Httie Mae and the balance of the supporting cast.
 "The Prince Chap is perhaps one of the most celebrated plays ever of- fered to the public, and had a most successful run in London, England, and New York City featuring MT. Cecil Maude as "The Prince Chap" and Is without doubt one of the prettiest stories ever woven into a play.
 The heart interest appeals especially to the ladies, children and young girls who are familiar with the story of the Prince Chap" and the life of little Claudia (Miss Park) who is left in the keeping of bachelor artist at the death of her mother, and as years roll away fate takes hold of the lives of the sculptor and the little waif bringing about most beautiful love story. The comedy interspersed by the two English servants is far above the average and MT. Park has carefully se- | lected the cast to make this one of the plays, which will live in the memory
 of the patrons of this family theatre until the end of time.
 | Those who have witnessed the work of this clever little actress in such parts as ''The Little Rebel" Tess Of the Storm Country" "The Brat, Re becca" Dawn of the Mountains" and i "Pollyanna," know how wonderful she | handles the character of such childlike | parts, and the Prince Chap should | be the best work she has done to
 date as 1t will give her three parts fin l one, or rather three stages in this young girls life, to portray. 1 Nothing is being left undone to
 make the Prince Chap" the best play
 to date, and according to Manager i Maddocks the sale of seats are going
 at a rate that indicates the biggest week that has ever been seen at the
 Majestic to date. and suggests that al who can should take advantage of the
 matinees. and make reservations a:
 early as possible.
 The Prince Chap" will be followed
 by another big favorite play, "The Fla
 tai Wedding"

THE DEVILS RIDDLE AT LOEW'S bDOU Gladys Br0ckwell in Newest Screen Success and Su- preme Vaudeville on
 Bill

The photoplay features at Loew's Bijou for the week are entirely out of the ordi- nary, starring two of the most popular screen artists. Gladys Brookwell, who will be seen in "The Devils Riddle" and Dolores Cassenilli, Tn ''Tarnished Repu- tations." Other picture features include screen comedies, news pictures, travc- logue and other attractions.
 The Honeymoon Inn," miniature mu- sical comedy, and CoscIa and Verdi. in n classy musical offering are the toplners on the vaudeville bill. which includes some of the best acts in vaudeville.
 Gladys Brockwell, one of the best loved stars of screenland, will he seen the first of the week in "The Hevirs Riddle,"
 screen production adapted from a serial
 story written by Edwna Levin, which
 ran in one of the foremost magazines.
 The story is an intensely dramatic one
 dealing with the stage and its people. The laugh follows the tear so quickly
 in "The Devils Riddle that the spirit Of happiness prevails despite the tension Of the dramatic moments ana in the role of the heroine Miss Brockwell essays one of the most interesting characterizations or her brilliant career, and displays the
 keen dramatic instinct that marks all her work
 The story concerns itself with a girl who has lived lonely life on the plains of Montana, literally starving for the refinements of civilization. which have
 been denied her. She went to New York only to find that the loneliness of the city
 oftentimes equals the desolation of the , silent prairies. and the great world which
 she had longed for seemed to swallow her. | This is the situation which develops 1 into one of the most abso, bing plots ever filmed, with the star reaching the utmost heights of her dramatic power in It.. 'The Devils Riddle" is unusual rom two standpoints. first the story deviates l far from the beaten track which forms
 fascinating background for Miss Brock
 wells versatile talent, and second, from l the fact that the production foiiows 1 closely the matter of detail in presentins the various scenes and widely different localities in which the plot of the story is laid. It is one of the few higher anu better pictures.
 For the last of the week an unusual offering, with comparative new star IS booked Dolores Cassenili will be seen in ''Tarnished Repusations' powerful photodrama dealing with vital problems
