ESTES TALKS ON
 HOUSE SHORTAGE
Situation Being Met by Build ing Activities, According
 to Report

Despite the great amount of home building and other construction work now going on in Birmingham, it is my belief that 1t will take three to hve years for the present house and office building shortage to be relieved salo w Thornton Estes yesterday in ois- cussing the rapid strides now being made in the building of homes.
 Tt is only natural to suppose that this period will be necessary before con struction work overtakes the present demand For during the past four years there has been but little building going on, and renewal of construction will have to be continued on an average basis of 100 per cent greater than in the years pr eceding the war in order for the hous- ing situation to reach normal stage once more.
 That the situation is being met with increased building activities is shown in the recent report of the city building inspector covering the period of March. The total amount of building for that month, the very great majority being permits for residences, was T0O 106. March's record was exactly s27,5S6 more than that of February.
 ''The local building situation is un- usually bright, and it is especially pleas ing to note that all factors concerned Ill the building lines in this city are meet ing the situation with reduced prices. Lumber has fallen to the lowest point virtually all other materials needed TOT construction work have likewise peen reduced, and the labor scales have been lowered"

DRAMA LEAGUE HEARS
 WALTHAL ON MOVIES

The audience at the meeting of the Drama league yesterday, when Henry B. Walthal appeared in person, heard an in- formal talk.
 Following a brief musical programme, the actor made his entrance quietly and unostentatously.
 The star of many screen and stage pro- ductions has boise and naturalness.
 After a short reading of lbsen's Ghosts" MT. Walthal began a personal and informal talk with, rather than to, the audience. He wished to have it real talk and invited the guests to ask questions on (which he would base the talk. Keen and ready wit were injected in his answers.
 A question in a low feminine voice floated timidly toward the stage: How did they get men jumping from one fast m owing train to another" she want ed to know, "and nobody get hurt?'
 Those trains are often barely nov ing" he said, "and the speed is gotten in the latter treatment. Sometimes the speed can be actually taken, though, but with revsr-e action. For instance in a scene where girl is being put senseless on a track, with the train rush. ing down upon her and the hero comes to rescue her, picking her up This scene may actually be taken so that the girl is being put on the track by the hero and the train is backing away from her. This is reverse photography. But on the screen the effect is normal. Once we took 8 picture in reverse, the train rushing backwards and soforth, and everything went off fine but the smoke stack. The reversed smoke went the wrong way"

DORALDINA IN THE WOMAN UNTAMED" AT ALCAZAR

A jungle story, The Woman Un- tanned" with the strong elemental ap- peal of that type of production, is the Alcazar feature for the week. The pie ture stars Doraldna. the famous dane ing sensation. J. Morley, as Hal Daley appears as the attractive support of the star.
 Doraldina is cast as "Nasoni,' who while on d rough ship, jumps into the waves rather than trust herself to the mercies of the rough men. She IS washed ashore on an isle of cannibals who believe the gods have sent her and worship her as their queen She becomes the untamed thing that Hal Daley meets when he wanders over the isle in search of adventure.
 The most notable thing in the produc- tion is the dancing of Doraldina. The story provides several occasions for her spectacular and daring dancing. The dance of Life and Death,'' when Ma soni thinks that Daley has left the island forever is beautiful.

NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC DORCHESTER IS COMING

It was also a feature at both the camp concerts given by the Philharmonic Tor the United States troops last year.

Mysterious patroiling of the outer sections of Birmingham last night about o'clock by 90 or 60 automobiles with occupants masked and license tags covered gave rise to rumors taat the ku- kIux klan was riding.

 Two calls came into the sher- ifs office last night about o'clock, persons reporting that the cavalcade was headed toward Acipco. These citizens declared the occupants of the cars were masked, but were not wearing white robes of the Ku-Kiux Klan, so far as they could see. The H- eense tags were concealed. they declared.
