Blue Laws.

I take this space to make a fight
Against our drastic city laws,
While funds were squandered left and
right,
In making things look blue and raw.
Once this old town was going strong
And didn't have four city dicks,
For laws were made by men with
brains
And blue sky laws and brains won't
mix.
We've watched our city take the lead,
And keep ahead for thirty years
And hate to see it run to seed
By few geeks that wasn't here.
We know our streets are awfully bum
And filled with mud and holes and
gaps
And hate for other towns to say
That it is being run by yaps.
We feel that we are losing out
With ball games. city parks and band
But till they save, our streets to pave
Wen keep on eating dirt and sand.
So all dig in. we'll pay our bonds
And try to help our council save,
And pray they get the north side in
To try to help the city pave.

WN ' ITH the spell of orientalism
 WW enveloping "Kismet" like a
 mantle, with all the weild ness and bizarreness of the environ ment of the far east with the cum ningness of the native East Indian and the miserly hoarding of treasures and love of money and frightful lust and cruelty permeating it like a chiffon cloud of gray-blue diaphanous nuances and shades. this wonderful picture with it's magnificence, its colossal, gi- gantic, superb setting" comes to the Alcazar long heralded as the most gor- geously glittering beautiful spectacle ever seen on the screen.
 Surely those Reviewers" who have thus described it have chosen well in the matter of adjectives, for no single word can describe the gorgeous ori- ental scenery, the glittering oriental costumes, the spectacular oriental "setting." nor yet the appealing ori- ental story, and those of us who saw Otis Skinner.

MONSTER CROWD AT BOAT CHRISTENING
DemopoIis Turns Out 1,500 Strong When Big Boat Is
 Formally Named

Demopolis, January 31.-(Speci al)- crowd of 1.5oo persons was on hand this afternoon when at ? o'clock the big Warrior river towboat Demopolis was christened.
 Miss Marie Louise Webb was sponsor for the 2,5o0-ton steel-clad. twin-screw vessel, while addresses were delivered by Mayor J. R. Lee W. P. Mcclure and others.
 Immediately after the christening ceremonies, the Demopolis left for Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.

quirements of the screen, but Otis Skinner does par excellence, his ap- pearance. his manner, his facial ex- pression-all--perme his interpre- tation of the screen" version of "Kis- met" just as these attributes charac- terized the superb Legitimate" yer sion of the exquisite oriental play.
 The picture moves along in ponder ous elegance and magnitude, the dramatic side of it being highly de- veloped although 'Kismet" is rather a play of continuous events rather than action" and when the finale has been reached the spectator leaves the theatre remembering Otis Skinner's superb portrayal of Hadjj the beggar of Bagdad, walking through the maze of Bagdad's picturesque streets, Ill Bagdad's palaces in Bagdad's beauti- full buildings-a character so domi- nant, so magnificent, that he towers above everything else--everybody else in his portrayal of the cunning, mur- derous, willy, oriental beggar.
 "kismet" is a gem which has been woven into everlasting magnificence- filled with the exotic atmosphere of the far east--with all of it's splendor and it's weirdness and it's charm, and spectacularly it is a companion piece to such pictures as "The Fall of Baby lon,' ''The Birth of Nation," Hearts of the World" and those magnificent D. W. Griffith productions which draw tremendous audiences because of sheer art.
 The story of "Kismet," as all those who recall the play remember (and those who haven't either seen or read it will be glad to peruse), has for it's central figure Hadjj, "A Beggar of Bagdad." The story how hA secures money and dresses himself tn expen- sive silks and satins and embroideries and is brought before Mansur, the head of the police. who wishes him 10 kill the Caliph Abdnllah because of their enmity.
 Hadjj, tries but is foiled in his ef- forts; he is thrown into prison and there he meets his old enemy, Jawan. whom he kills; he escapes and kills Mansur. the son of Jawan--all of which is pictured in spectacular form. The touch of romance in "Kismet' is revealed between the Caliph and Hadjj's daughter, Marshall. The Caliph dresses as a peasant and woos her, wins her and marries her. She
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-02-01

finds out who he is and loves him all the more. In the end the Caliph ban ishes Hadjj because of his attempt to murder him. and we see the beggar back on his stone in the front or mosque, at his old occupation, beg ging. In the morning he is supposed to leave for Mecca, but we leave him sleeping until that hour arrives.
 There is also another touch of TO- nance between Kut-al-Kulb, the queen of Mansurs harem, and Hadjj She, thinking he is a nobleman, consents to his caresses, but upon finding out that he is only a beggar she turns him out. l
 Those who share the honors with MT. Skinner are Rosemary Theby, al ways lovely and a splendid actress: Elinor Fair. Herschel Magalli. Leon Barry, Sidney smith, Hamilton Re velle, Thomas Kennedy and Sam Kaut man.
 No picture of recent days Is more magnifcently produced than "Kismet,.' the oriental splendor of which dazzles the eye and pleases the artistic mind and reveals Otis Skinner as master artist Of the screen as well as the stage.
