fact that mask and costume will add

FILMS ARE SHOWN
Morning Matinees at Local
Movie Houses Please
Youngsters of City

The first children's matinee was
given yesterday morning at the
Strand and A1cazar theatres under

Both theatres were crowded despite

fore 10 o'clock long lines of young
sters reached from each theatre al
most to Nineteenth street.
The Tom Sawyer film did not ar
rive for the matinee, as 1t was dam
aged by fire in Atlanta Friday, and
it was a disappointment to Mrs. Nell

tor. and Mrs Paul Earle, president of
the Better Film association, as we'll
as a number of local theatre man
ayers who were almost as disap-
pointed as the children, according to
Mrs. Earle. This film will be shown
next Saturday at 10 o'clock. Tho
theatres will open at $3.50 o'clock. and
all children are urged to be on time
in order to see all the picture.
In place of the Tom Sawyer film

Aesop's Fables were shown to the
delight of the children present.

in which all children IN the city will
be interesed and to increase the at
tendance.
In addition to the Strand and Alca-
Ear. the Trianon thetre will have a
matinee next week. Music for this

JURY CONV|CTS
FOUR DEFENDANTS
IN JOLL|TT TRIAL
Two Others Are Acquitted
and One Pleaded Guilty.
Penitentiary Sentences
Are Given by Judge

Sam Jollitt, Mitchell Jollit Moses
guilty and Mike Bashara. G. Nj. Sail
ba and Abraham Tebbshrany were
acquitted on the charge of conspir-
acy to violate the bankrupt act in a
sealed verdict brought in by the jury
Friday night and read yesterday
morning in court.
Judge w /. Grub sentenced
Mitchell and Sam Jollitt to two years
each, sam Saliba to IS months, and
Moses George and a. X. Buckleh to
10 months each in the federal peniten-
tiary in Atlanta and fined each 800.
Tebshranys acquititay came as result
of a directed verdict from Judge
Grub given Friday noon. Bukleh
had previously pleaded guilty and
was used as witnes by the prosecu-
ton.
The case was the most important
one on the present criminal docket
and involved an attempt of Jollitt
Brothers, former Birmingham and AL
exander City merchants, to conceal
goods when planning to go into bank
ruptcy, according to testimony given
during the trial.
GdIn odilDd StiNtQ as
for the firm for a time and Mike
Bashara was charged with having
received goods from the Jollitts to
store in his place of business in Biz
mingham.
Bukleh testified to having stored
goods in Mobile at request of the Jol-
HIT Brothers, and also to have unwil-
1ingly received goods which were sent
to his house in the city and later
taken to Basharas store. His SEN
tence Is only nine months less than
the two years given the Jollitt
brothers.
Most of the guilty men are As
syrians. The Jollltt Brothers store
was formerly at 1924 Second avenue.

yesterday was that of Mrs. Mary A.
Reams, Administrative of the estate
of Ross Bryan Reams, deceased,
against the Southern Railway COM
pany in which the railway Is being
sued for 100000 damages. Ross

Opinion in Birmingham concerning
the site and size of the proposed city
auditorium is divided.
The question of whether or not the
auditorium. for which bonds have
been voted, shall be erected upon the
chosen site, on which condemnation
proceedings have been Instituted and
preliminary work started, is causing
much comment and interest in Biz
mingham.
Honest differences of belief as to
the location. size of building and type
of structure have come up and the
question has been discussed from
many angles.
The main objection to the present
location is not as to its accessibility
but to the surrounding noise which
DIRECTORS claim will be caused by rail
way activities. Those in favor OF the
present site contend that the building
will be sound proof and that the
noise" question is not a logical OBJ
lection.
Many Favor Auditorium.
The majority of people favor an
auditorium whether they have objec-
lions to the site or not.
A seating capacity of from 5000 to
5000 seems to be the most popular
among persons interviewed.
Because Birmingham realtors have
been interested in the proposition
from the very start when the civic
center ideas were suggested and be-
cause they have already discussed the
matter in open meeting. their opinions
are in the majority in vest pocket in
terviews which The Age Herald has
secured on this important question.
II. A. Brown.
THE present location can be used
satisfactorily" said r. A. Brown,
prominent insurance man
What is needed is an auditorium
and not a theatre, a building capable
of seating 10000 people to be used
more for special conventions and
large musical events that for ordinary
entertainment purposes. The building
should be of the size and construction
to allow for the use of small shows
like a poultry show, cotton exhibit
or manufacturer display Plush seats
and frills are not needed but just a

Il do not like the site chosen for
the auditorium said ]. d. Moore.
Il resided in that vicinity at one
time and l know the noise that is
made by the trains and engines in
the Frisco yards. outside of the
noise the location is all right, but,
unless that could be counteracted. IL
is bad site
1t seems to me that the 100000,
which / understand remains to credit
of the auditorium fund, should be
sufficient to build modern audi
torium with at least 5000 to 1000 ca
pacity The seating capacity should
certainly not be less than that.
The auditorium. should be built
as soon as possible"
w. \. Malone
Il believe an auditorium seating
5000 to 10000 persons can be built
for the 100000 in hand said w. N.
Malone.
Labor is cheaper and materials are
cheaper. We have the materials here
without freight.
Il don't like the location that has
been chosen. / do not see how the
noise of passing trains can be elm
mated.
The auditorium should be built
now with the money at hand. / dis
like the location, but If we cannot
get away from that | say build there
so we can have a place where great
bodies of our people may meet and
great conventions be held"
II. E. Butler
IAN auditorium of the theatrical
type to seat no more than 5000 peo-
pie on the present city site--that is
my idea of the auditorium question"
said +. Il. Butler of the Butler Real
Estate and Insurance company.
ITO be modern and practical an
auditorium will have to be built with
24-inch walls without windows. This
will make 1t sound proof. The objec-
lions raised about railroad whistles
can be overcome by enforcing of the
whistle ordinance of the city. Con
ventions of the kind Birmingham will
welcome win have from 200 to 1000
delegates so that the buinlding would
be large enough to house any conven-
ton and need not be of the arena
type, where acoustics would be poor"
