Do you like to see beautiful danc ing?
 R. A. F'ueger, Jr.. director of the coming fashion show at the semi centennial, has promised to Birming ham'people a real surprise.
 Miss Nellie Sullivan, premier dancer, has been engaged to appear each day during the celebrations. Miss Sullivan has had great deal of ex perience in dancing at fashion shows, and is considered one of the very best, having appeared in many of the large cities farther north. Chi cago, Philadelphia and Kansas City are among the cities In which she has been seen. In St. Louis she ap- peared in the famous "Jewel' dance, which was the event of the dayNand sensation of the St. Louis style show in 1920
 This same "Jewel7 dance. which she introduced in St Louis. is the other that there Is hardly time. for assimilation It is the story of a girl who is one of the many bargains of house that is so mercenary that it is said that everything Is for sale. She is half forced to engage her self to a man wealthy enough to please her aunt and worthless brother. Then the question arises In the mind of the spectator whether or not she will marry the rich man or man whom she really loves
 Most of the events of Everything For Sale" are taken up in the solv- ing of this question. It is finally decided in a manner that is satis- fying and full of excitement in | number of swift scenes.
 "Everything For Sale" is not a play with real problem or real depth, but it is very good light en- tertainment It has interest and much action of a surface kind and generally is picture worth the hour spent in viewing it.
