 They are followed by the Brewer Trio, who played syncopated music that sim ply set the audience to dancing, liter ally if not figurativey. They played quite a large number of popular pieces and did everything to live up to the billing.
 Ben Smith is one of those magnetic people who always improve with ac- quaintance- When he first appeared there seemed nothing extra in promise place in the hearts of the spectators very taking songs. I've Got the Sweet> heart Blues." was his best song, and made a great hit

TENSE DRAMA AT
 STRAND THEATRE

When an actress is said to be versa tile she has received compliment full of meaning from the stage point oi view. Many an actress has been dubbed versatile" more or less thoughtlessly but here comes one who is really de- serving of the appellation. Elsie Fergrl- son, in Lady Roses Daughter" which is showing at the Strand appears in three well acted roles, each one power full in it's appeal to the spectator.
 The story written by Mrs. Humphrey Ward is divided into three epochs, in each Miss Ferguson is seen in a diff ferent part. However, the real interest hangs about the experiences of Julia Le Britton, the illegitimate daughter of Lady Rose. Julia is a girl whose cross has been made heavy by the sins of others. Bearing the stigma of her moth CTS past, she finds herself close on the border lin of tragedy.
 The whole play is very tense and serious drama, the kind Miss Ferguson is usually starred in A rather deep plot is frightened up at the. last of the pie ture, when there is happy and satis- factory ending.
 Charlie Chaplin is another attrac,ron. He is seen in Work" which is a typical hilarions Chaplin picture.

 Darby and Brown. in their musical Irritation, Back Home, proved to be the headline attraction and the two clever artists seem to meet with almost instant approval from the audience the minute they stepped upon the stage. They in- troduced several vocal selections and cor net solos that were highly entertain ing.
 Ali Grant, billed as Dispenser of the Blues," proved to be just that, and he made a big hit and ran the headliners a close race foS the opening spot when he continued to hand the audience a line of new jokes and comedy chatter that kept them in an uproar.
 Loe and Grace Harvey, billed as melo- dious harmonsts in songs of the hour. present d repertoire of popular songs that proved to be strictly up to the min ute.
 Walter Hayes and Charles Russell ap- peared in an amusing comedy skit called Let's Sing It Is an act filled with many different varieties of comedy situa- tions.
 The vaudeville bill was closed with a versatile comedy oddity, Daring Pro- hibition.' Two men and two women ap- pear in the closing act and they do a number of acrobatic stunts and knock about tumbling.

 He suggested to the organizers that his appearance on the scene had probably been fortunate for them as otherwise they might have received rougher treat ment than had been accorded them.
 The meeting at Wylam was attended by several thousand persons. Some of the addresses made by some of the speakers were far from complimentary to the governors commission, to the newspa pers and to men who declined to join the strike. One speaker is reported by citi- zens of the community who heard him to have suggested the rope for the ne- groes who declined to swell the ranks of the strikers.
 Empire was the only place where the organizers were interfered with.

LITTLE DISORDER
 IN COAL FIELDS
Meeting Dispersed in Walker County-SpeeCheS of
 Bitter Nature

The Sunday mass meetings held throughout the district by the union miners were without special event other than at Empire mines in Walker county.
 Organizers aaines and Harris twice undertook to hold meetings in that W- cinity and were summarilyi prevented from doing so by the company guards. of whom there seemed to be many, both ir the immediate vicinity and the surrounding hill tops.
 The organizers first tried to hold a meeting in Creeltown, which is near the Empire mines. There notices had been posted to the effect that the people of that community did not wish a public meeting to be held on the Sabbath
 When the organizers, in their automo- piles, reached Creeltown deputy sheriff told them that the citizens did not wish public meeting held there. The Holy Rollers Church congregation was about to assemble.
 The organizers then moved to the prop crty of MT. Greet and there Haines com menced speaking to a crowd that had followed him. Guards rushed up and caught hold of the organizers. The latter made no resistance sThey made no fur
 
 pie.
 Empire was closely guarded on Sunday, but the organizers managed to get to Creeltown and to the Crell property be- fore the guards were able to intercept them.
 The organizers were led to the Bir- mingham-Jasper road and told to leave. This they did and nothing further oc- cured. No shots were fired and none of the many people at one time and an- other on the scene was injured.
 On the way to the Birmingham-Jasper road, as they were leaving the scene, the organizers were met by Walter Moore, operator of the Empire mines, who gave them a curtain talk. MT. Moore told them that Alabama had had enough of out side agitators and did not propose to stand for any more of them or their works They had been agitating over here, he said, while his boy and others were overseas fighting for their coun- try

OLIVE THOMAS IN LAST JRE-AICAZAR

The element of mystery and suspense is well developed in "Footlights and Shadows" Olive Thomas last play, which is showing at the Alcazar. From the moment when a strange man let's himself into the little dancers apart ment in the dead of night and falls un- conscious, until the last few moments of the picture, the audience is kept wondering.
 The chief question in the minds of all is in regard to the fact that the mfs' lets himself into the apartment witVl his own key. This is all very interest ingly worked out. There is good SUD- port, and Olive Thomas is unquestion- ably attractive as Gloria Dawn, the dancer in the Midnight Revue" who has danced her way into the heart of Broadway Miss Thomas makes a great heart appeal in "Footlghts and Sha- dows," mainly through the fact that she has so successfully combined the deep dramatic qualities which the story called out with her own brightness of heart.
