B GRADUATES IN
 MONROE COUNTY
Hiqh School Commencement Is Addressed By pr. Abercrom-
 bie-Big Attendance

Monroeville, April 21.-(Special.)- A large audience witnessed the clos ing exercises of the Monroe County
 High school last evening, at which time diplomas were delivered to 32 graduates by the principal, Prof. J. A. York.
 James Maxwell Dean was awarded the class medal offered by Mrs. B. B.
 Finklea for the best grades, deport- ment, studiousness and greatest prog ress The presentation was made by Mrs Finklea in a most delightful manner.
 The graduating address by pr. John
 w. Abercrombie state superintendent of education, was well received. Stress ing the importance of education in the making of good citizens, Dr. Aber- crombie stated that Monroe county had outstripped most of the other counties
 in the state in recent years in the matter of educational advantages pro- vided for children of school age, and said that it was one of the few coun- ties that had voted every school tax authorized by the constitution of the state, and that reports made to his department showed wonderful achieve ments in educational work.
 Besides the County High school, Mon
 roe county has three Junior High schools well distributed over the coun- ty and another in contemplation. A large number of modern school build ings have been constructed during the rast few years, other school buildings enlarged modern teaching facilities provided and still other buildings are being planned.

One of the innovations is the nursery, which IS quite unique A tremendous room has been equipped with every sort Of game and toy ina ginable to entertain the babies while their mothers attend the shows Electric trains, dollhouses, hobby horses and sand piles make beautiful place for the Riddles to play in and en- joy themselves.
 Again a tea room, of vast propor- ticns, gorgeously furnished, is another of the innovations" MT Ayres contin- ued "In fact, every detail is perfect.
 "The evening of the opening MT. Hoo- litzelle was showered with telegrams flowers and all sorts of attentions, ana the audience wouldn't be quiet until he had made a speech. He occupied a box, and as he arose to acknowledge the ap- plause and say something in appreciation of the way the theatre had been received, from the top of the theatre a, shower of rose petals descended, covering the en- tire audience and lasting for 20 minutes It was truly a beautiful sight.

 There were excellent pictures of MT.

 If you know Mir. Hoblitzelle as I know him, you know that this latest achieve ment is in keeping with the ambitious brain of this splendid young man, whose untiring energy, splendid civic pride and generous ambition is to give the large clientele of his theatres the best that can be provided.
 And the incest part of it all is that MT. Hoblitzelle means to do for Birming- ham in the near future just what he has done for Dallas and other cities in which his theatres are so popular.
 MT. Ayres, when he was talking to me yesterday, corroborated this fact by say ing
 Ut is MT. Hobltzelle's dream to build in Birmingham as handsome theatre as he has built in Dallas, and he means to do this within a short time. When this is accomplished Birmingham can truly boast of one of the handsomest and most complete playhouses in Amer ica.
 "When The New Majestic was opened in Dallas, the entire city was in gala attire for the occasion. The house was sold out entirely a week in ad- vance, and the audience was the most fashionable ever saw. Every box and every stall and every inch of room in the theatre was occupied, while standing room was at premium.

News, when he said, among other things;
 Tn The New Majestic theatre every resource known to art science and arch itecture has been employed to produce a building as nearly perfect as human hands and brains could make 1t. The front of the building is in itself work of the best efforts of the architect. It is of white stone with exquisite blue terra cotta ornamentation in the design of a shield. Window boxes of flowers and the taste and care with which they have been arranged, add to the effect of beauty along the entire front
 The entrance to ''The New Majestic is of Casaba marble and reveals a charming glimpse of Roman magnifi- cence in gray and white tints, the deco rations bearing the soft permanent charm of old ivory. The foyer opening from the vestibule, at once reminds one of the room of the mirrors in the pal ace of Versailles. Here are the same style mirrors, the same scheme of deco- ration the marble urns-even the mag nificent Louis XVI would feel at home in such a place.
