"CHICKENS" AT STRAND
 WITH DOUGLASS MILAN

Douglas Mclean manages to get run out of everything in Chickens" >his latest starring vehicle at the Strand through Saturday. Chickens" is a rur- al comedy, filled with typical rural situatinos, rural wit, idess and sly good humor. The title is gotten from
 the leading situation of the picture. Deem Stanford Douglas McLean), is
 willed fortune if he will reside in
 a small village. So he decides to make
 good with a chicken farm, or ranch" :"
 as he calls it. Reared in city nest,
 Deem doesn't know the first princi-
 ples of chicken raising. He starts tho
 whole thing off with some purchases that are a comedy all by themselves, namely, an $18.000 dollar farm. worth Inot over $20o0; $500 worth of chick en feed, two dozen boxes of chicken powder. 12 hens and 12 roosters. Aside from the chicken comedy. there is lots of fun with an auto. land some 'hilari- Iously funny rivalry at country bas- ket party, where the hero of the story draws the fattest girl in the com lmunity.
 Chickens" is for those who like it's lstyle a first-rate picture. It is adapt led by Agnes Christine Johnston who lis known also for a fine adaptation of 'Twenty-three and Half Hours Leave" This screen adaptation of "Chickens" is equally as good, both as regards humor and human touch.

I regard Mexico and the repub7 lie of Columbia as the two Latin-Amer- ican- countries who represent the highest of their type The people speak the best Spanish. they speak even better Spanish than is spoken in Spain itself. The gen. eral idea of the Mexican with his guns and his sombrero and dancing a foolish fandango. rowdy and rough, is peculiar. That, of course, represents a certain type; but the literature of Mexico shows refinment. shows men of letters who are broadly cultured and elegant in every respect"
 And how did your husband make love to you? Was it in Spanish or-er-what?' asked curiously.

You SC we never see our sweethearts in our homes until we are formally en- gagged; they court our parents first, and we only see them at the big iron gates where signorita may slip her hans through the gratings and touch the hand of her sweetheart. When I first came to the United States I was shocked At the manner in which the young girls were allowed to go about unchaperoned. Why, a Spanish or Mexican girl is never al- lowed to go out even with her sweet heart without a doenna, a chaperon.
 And what about the American man ners, dress and other things?" I ques- toned

Polak and myself chattering away like magpies and always about her and her family and their affairs, and I begged him to ex- plain to her that all we were saying was truly lovely and not one word of criti- cism.
 "Oh, she understands that" MT. Polak said, and then he told me of some of his delighted travels over all the countries of the world, finding at last in the sun kissed climes of Mexico the girl of his heart the wife of his choice, and who could blame him once You've looked into the pretty dancing brown eyes of Sig nora Marie Cristina Espetacia Bravo Polak and glimpsed the beauty of her crimson lips and lovely smiling face?

 SCORESCONRES'
AssaiIs Members 0ppos say Ap- propriations for Commu-
 nity CenterS
By Associated Press

Washington, February I7.-Members of
 Congress who, she said, had opposed ap- propriations for local community cen- ing unrest" were warmly taken to task by Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President, in an address at today 8 session of the national woman's party convention here. Declaring there was no evidence to support the charge. Miss Wilson asserted that. even granting there was such evidence, it was mot the busi- ness of Congress to supervise the ac- tivities or speech of those they repre- lSent," but the business of the courts u try the individuals who have broken the
 law"
 Adding there had also been expressions of opposition in Congress to the use of schools by community center organiza- tions for dancing. Miss Wilson asked Granting that we have a moral right
 their business what we do in them,
 whether we listen to socialist speeches or
 whether we dancer"
 Speaking as representative of the Ma tional Community Center organization, Miss Wilson declared more could be ac- complshed toward true self-government and necessary social reforms by the or BantzallOn or the lOcai groups lntO co- operative thinking bodies than through
 the workings of party organizations. On this ground she advised immediate dis bandment of the national woman's party. which. she said, was not in broad sense ''nonpartisan," but exclusive" and organized for the purpose of building up woman's machine" which would not be "more honest or effective than a mans machine"
 Prior to Miss Wilson's address. now- ever, the executive committee of the na- tional womans party had placed before the convention a recommendation that the organization be continued, though reorganized under another name and with a new programme and new ex- ecutive board. Recommendations sub-
 mitted also by the national advisory council and the state chairman agreed | for the most part with those of the ex- ecutive committee. All provided for campaign to remove discrimination against women and for the protection of | the political freedom already won by them in individual countries under an international government that may be es- l tablished. A vote on the recommenda- l tions will be taken by the convention | tomorrow.

1GIROM the land of the mandolin and
 Ta the guitar, the castanet and the fandango. comes lovely Mrs. Joseph Polak, the bride of Mir. Joseph Polak. widely -traveled, cultured and ele- gant gentleman, who is as much at home in Capt Town or Kamschatka, as he is in Fort Wayne. Ind. (where he now re- sides) or the Dutch colonies, of which he is a native.
 MT. and Mrs Polak are at present vis- itors to Birmingham, and the lovely girl wife, sfor she is now only 19 and a bride of little more than year. who was born in Madrid among the tempera- mental, exotic climes of that romantic land, is unique in that she speaks not one word of English and when 1 say one word l mean It literally, not even How dy-doi"
 Mrs! Polak is very lovely, with the dark, olive complexion of the Spanish signorita, languid lashes shading her dark brown eyes. her hair as black as the wings of raven, and her figure is the 1.-the, svelte, girlish figure of the d. ebutante.
 MT. Polak acted as interpreter for us Mrs Polak and myself-yesterday and TOT once Tn my life 1 was absolutely at the mercy of fate, for not one word of Spanish could l speak, and not one word of English could the lovely Spaniard speak, and so to Mir. PolalS fell the honors.
 Mrs. Polak comes of very distinguished lineage; on her fathers side she is a descendant of Gen. Nicholas Bravo, a man who stands to Mexico as the George Washington of that country: on her ma ternal side she has the distinction of be- ing the granddaughter of Porfirio Diaz, whom all Mexicans know and honor, interest in.
 Although born in Madrid, as I said be- fore. Mrs. Polak has lived in Mexico most of her lifetime and the family of Diaz. which practically owned the state of Guerrers, the cit yof Chilpansingo, the capital, being noted for it's tremendous cattle holdings one ranch alone belong ing to Mrs Polak's family numbering lS,- 900 head of cattle. just one of their many possessions
 In her quaint and delicious little way, Mrs. Polak. whom the Spaniards would call donna or "signora," told me of the earliest remembrances she has of her distinguished ancestor, Porfirio Diaz.
 "Of course,' Mrs. Polak said (Mr. Po- lak interpreting in his beautiful English, which he speaks as fluently as<he does Spanish, French, Italian or Russian, or any of the other many languages with which he is familiar) "my earliest and only remembrances of my grandfather were through letters treasured by my mother.

VARIETY KEYNOTE
 OF BILL, AT LOEW'S

Variety is the keynote of the excellent five acts of vaudeville and an entertain ing feature picture which composes the bill at Loews Bijou for the last half of the week.
 J. K Emmett and Mary E. Ryan have excellent dramatic roles in ''The Test. a one-act skit which has to do with the troubles of married life, and the married couple, who have about drifted to the parting of the ways, are brought to- gether by the memory of their little child The freshness and the clever act ing of the two principals in the act win it the honored position on the bill.
 Raines and Alvey appeared in 'rube' song and dance which made an instant hit. The male member of the act is a comedian who gets a laugh out of every thing he does, and he is greatly assisted by a pretty little miss who does some dainty dancing.
 Russo, Ties and Russo, dancers, are offering an act that is wondeful treat to those who like the best in dancing. Toe dancing, ballet dancing and the latest jazz steps were all perfectly ren- dered.
 Monte and Lyons, Italian singers, would have received better hand put for the fact that several acts of thls kind have appeared in Birmingham dur | ing the past few weeks and audiences are fed up on Italian songs and Jokes They got away with one encore, now ever. in spite of this handicap. Jack and Ferris, acrobats, closed the vaudeville offering.
 Blanche Sweet in That Girl Mon tana" is the screen attraction.
