'It makes me especially happy to have been able to secure The Passion Flower, because l have always wanted to play q Spanish role, and this is the first oppor- tunity,'' says Miss Talmadge. q have had to throw myself into the primitive emotions of the Latin race. In my en- tire career I have never put myself so whole-heartedly into any part as I have into the mind and soul of Acacia and do hope the public will like this story as much as I, myself, do. To some ex- tent this will be a costume play, and have been frequently told by exhibitors that the public does not want costume plays. However, l think the pendulum is swinging, and the public does want cos tune plays-that is one of the chief req sons for the success of Passion. Any way, I can't help feeling as Benavente does, when he says, I do not make my plays for the public. I make the public for my plays That is the way feel about The Passion Flower I made it because I loved it, and I feel there will be public that will like the costume drama

For Good of
 the Community

TT was no small thing for the plate mill at Fairfield to operate on double turn last week. A night and day shift is about the most uncommon thing there is. Bir- mingham was probably alone in this re- spect. The explanation is the presence in Mobile harbor of the Howick Hall and the Selma City, two corporation freight CTS, prepared to load for the Orient. They will carry 10000 tons of Ensley rails to Manchurian railroads and something like that tonnage of Fairfield plates for the Far East
 This tonnage was moved down the Warrior at a saving of 90 cents on the'ton in the freight rate, enabling Birmingham steel to reach ports at less than half the cost that Pittsburg steel must pay
 On April Birmingham secured a freight saving of 209o on goods from the east when routed by the Mallory line to Mobile and thence up river by the War rior barge line.
 The Interstate Commerce Commission has just ruled that Nashville shall no longer have her fictitious rail and water rate of S1 66 for first-class freight from the east, but must pay rail rate of S2. 10. Birmingham's new rail and water rate from the east via the Mallory line is $1.75. Birmingham, effective June 30, will have an advantage of 35 cents over Nashville in competitive territory in the Tennessee valley.
 Birmingham is getting canned goods and other products of the Pacific coast by ship via the canal and Mobile at freight rate saving of 40 to 50qo. We are sending cast iron pipe to the Pacific coast at saw ing of 50 per cent in the freight rate.
 The Warrior river barge line is inaugu- rating a momentous movement this week. Athens, Ala, and Atlanta, Ga, will ship cotton down the river for eXportation to Austrian mills This is the first cotton business on the river Atlanta comes that way instead of going to Savannah because the Warrior has the 2Oqo freight diff ferential.
 They are building the coal bins at Cor dova and have received bids for the coal bin and fuel oil tanks at Mobile. These mean larger coal business for Alabama and more ships putting in at Mobile to handle Alabama products out of there.
 Demopolis is to get on the river. Her derrick has been ordered. She will join Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Cordova in the list of Warrior ports. Port of Bir- mingham is to receive another derrick, which will double facilities there.
 The Steel Corporations fleet of thirty three 10,000-ton ocean freighters is near ing completion. They will all be in the overseas trade and available at call to carry Birmingham steel products to the Orient, to Europe and to South and Gen. tral America.
 While these basic things are under way and operating, the plain people of Bir mingham are building homes as never be- fore. Birmingham was led only by Hous- ton in the number of building permits is- sued in March and February, our number being 1,0O8 and Houston's l 100.
