THE EVOLUTION OF MAN" AT THE ER|ALT0 As Added Attraction "The Man Who Grows" Will Appear
 in Person

One of the sensations of the screen and the greatest mystery of modem science will be offered patrons of the Rialto theatre this week. ''The Evolu- tion of Man." a novel and unique melo- drama will be the screen attraction, while "the man who grows will appear in person.
 In The Evolution of Man." the motion picture fans will see story the like Of which they have never seen before. In addition to this there is acting of most unusual sort and to cap the climax there is the truly marvellous performance or the Man-Apa, Jack. But this is not all by long shot for the story fairly teens with .nelodramatic action of the finest kind
 The powers of '.The Man Who Grows have baffled doctors and scientists. Be- fore the eyes of the spectators he can increase his height two feet. He can lengthen his arms almost the same dis tance. The phenomena cannot be ex- plained, but it is most extraordinary in every way.

mites than that of Mrs Fiske.
 But Father Jonathan Blake" is finally regenerated and wakes up" The crit ics seem somewhat divided in their opin- ion of the play.
 Alexander Woolcott says Much of the play becomes entertaining under Mrs. Fiskes magic touch, and It is amazing how much of sparkle and vitality and character she can impart to scenes. Her present play serves at least to bring Mrs. Fislxe back to town
 Zoe Akins. author of "Declossie," " has 8 new play called "The Lady in Waiting" :" which is to be given production soon. It is comedy wherein Miss Akins satis- izes the artistic temperament, the heroine being an operatic prlma donna.
 Lionel Atwill is young man play ing in an old fashioned play, writ ten, however, by Sacha Guitry another young man. Atwill achieved his pre- vious New York success in the real istic drama of Ibsen, but is playing now in play which is poetical.
 One thing is very noticeable in re- gard to his work in "Deburau'--the play in which it is conceded by all the New York season has reached it's
 
 word of adverse criticism of young At wills art In fact, the reviewers, for once seem to be of the same opinion agreeing that his work in the Belasco production is flawless, ever to pc reading of such measured beat as this: " Trained in art from my cradle did
 you say?
 Well I hadn't cradle. But, anyway, If you bid me recall those things. here goes
 Though I've tried hard enough to Tor get them, God knows Heyword Brown acclaims Atwill is able to do avery exciting thing, that lis make Deburau, dead man, actor, F'renchman----live again and be the common fellow of us all, making the part seem a man and not great character in play"
 There is also praise for lovely Elsie Mackaye, in reality Mrs. Lionel At will, who plays the role of Marie Du- plissis, the scented lady of the Came lias, better known to us as Camille, and made famous by the younger Du- mas.
 The fact that David Belasco has a1- ways worn his collar hind-to-fore may be responsible for a lot of the ! mysticism that New York throws about him." a Chicago dramatic opines, but it does not account for all of the beauty and splendid attention to detail, tricks of lighting, etc, of the admirable production of Deburau, which is declared to rank with the best if it is not itself the best

put there was more that IDOSe dTOun1
 could not see. There was the burning
 fire of jealousy and suspicion, making of love a mockery. This is the his. gripping theme of "Dost Thou Take This Wom- an?' the attraction at the Strand theatre all this week
 One of the most striking dramas of marriage ever screened is the way this new human document of the films has been characterized by critics. Love took Folly to her husbands arms, but the furnace of his suspicion burned that love until only the ashes remained and she started into life of utter bleakness until fate took hand in affairs and a man who cared much for friendship straight ened out the tangle.
 Not only is 'Dost Thou Take This Woman?' a great picture from the standpoint of story, but critics have done nothing but heap praise upon the way it has been staged. Lavish and sump- tuous are the adjectives used to describe
 the striking settings and the wonderful
 gowns worn by the leading woman and the other feminine members of the cast "Dost Thou Take This Woman?' was picturized from the famous novel by Pan" whose delineations of modern so- ciety have been hailed as the most under
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-01-30

We may consider that the crest of the wave of dramatic offerings has been reached.
 The New York producing season is supposed to begin August l and end May 30, but the greater part of the years new plays are given by Janu- ary 1, so we may now form some opin- ion of the seasons output.
 1t is conceded by all of the "dra- matic gazetters" that for a stage generally supposed to be in a state of retrogression, results are not half bad. In fact, a season that has brought us the Actor, Ben-Am Gilda Veresi as a playwright and star in Enter Mad ame.' and such plays as Mixed Marriages" The Skin Game" Heart break House" Mary Rose" and De burau, may be called successful sea- son
 And there will be more. No doubt later.
 So far as our Birmingham season is concerned the best attractions will be from now on. In many instances the touring companies are not started un- til January.
 There has been much favorable com ment made upon the good Companies the eastern producers are sending south this season, For instance (men- tioning only those seem, the "Ciar- ehce," Adam and Eva" and Irene" aggregations were very good indeed, particularly the cast of Adam and Eva" For this let us be duly thank full
 George M. Cohans musical comedy Mary" Gsnt it a grand old name?) will strike these parts shortly after "Lightnin' Have you ever known this producer to sponsor mediocrity or failure? When he steps on the ac- celerator the thing goes The "hymnar" of MT. Cohan's Mary" as I recall it, includes the songs: That May Have Satisfied Grandma" ~The Love Nest" Down on That Old Kansas Farm" Don't Fan Till You've Seen Them All,' and, of course, Mary"
 The story of the comedy has to do with the house shortage, and is very amusing.
 During the week just passed the pres- entation of Wake Up, Jonathan marked the return of Mrs. Fiske to New York. Her play. which is the work who is a lecturer on the drama at Co., Tumbia university, is described as an amusing. rather broadly imaginative satire on the modern family life Mrs Ffske's role is that of a mother of four, who has long been at odds with a ma- terial and unronlantic husband

Leona La Mar. "The Girl With the Thousand Eyes, who is said to be able to answer questions that will astonish the most skeptical, will be at the Lyric again this week, being the headlner on the programme for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
 Miss La Mar has been attracting large crowds during her engagement here and the last half of last week seats were at premium. She runs the scale according to those who have seen her, from finding the watch the wash erwoman made off with, to telling you "he's true to you.
 L special morning matinee Wednesday has been arranged for Miss La Mar, at which none but women will be admitted. Miss La Mar will discuss intimately any questions her audience asks, it is an nounced.
 In addition to Miss La Mar, four other big attractions are on the pro- gramme.A Jack Fulton and Alice Burt, in comedy slst called "The Hold-up Girl" present an act that might be de- seribed as ar abridged musical comedy, containing nothing but original songs written exclusively for this act Comedy and daring crowd each other for frs. place in the remarkable aerial surprises accomplished by Stewart and Mercer.

achievement of Belasco's artful -hea- tre.
 A line from Life comments upon the fact that the mayor of a Kansas town has issued an order forbidding stu dents to park their cars in front of the local high school of d morning. All the sons and daughters of wealthy farmers in that region drive their swn roadsters and sedans, with the result that there has been great congestion in Main street during school hours. Evidently Shakespeare, who de- scribed the schoolboy creeping like snail unwillingly to school" did not refer to the youth of the ''Sunflower" state.
 The Greek theatre of the University of Virginia is nearing completion and will be finished m the spring It is the larg- est of the seven open-air amphitheatre.s in this country, four of which are in the state of California. There is one at the country place of George c. Booth near Detroit and one at Garfield Park, Chi cago. All these have been built in the last 15 years to accommodate the out door spectacle which has become popular and on account of a revival of interest in Greek drama.
 The Virginia theatre is very large, with, seating capacity of 3,60o II IS picturesqueiy situated amid the classic building of the university, with the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia as back ground.
