America Should Lead

From every section of our country
 come demands for national disarmament These demands are generally predicated
 upon the statements that there is finan-
 cial stringency throughout the world at
 the present time: that the tax upon the peoples of the leading nations is a ter rife burden for them to bear; that this burden is due largely to the participa- ton of the nations so affected in the recent World war"
 Thus writes Julius Kahn in the Forum. Continuing, he says:
 Tt seems, therefore, that in view or the world situation in regard to these questions, the United States may well 1 take the lead where the subject of dis armament might be frankly, freely and fully discussed. Whether the other na- tions will accept our invitation is purely l a matter of conjecture, but many Ameri- | cans believe that Congress can well af- l ford to pass resolution authorizing the President to call such a conference at l the earliest practicable date.
 l At the peace table in Paris, in 1915
 our commissioners frankly stated that we I asked no indemnities of any kind for l our participation in the World war. We wanted neither money nor territory from | the defeated beligerents. We showed
 the world that we entered the struggle | in order to maintain tn rights of our gov ernment and our people against those enemies who attempted to thwart and l throttle those rights.'

tive selection of operas, including as it does two that are entirely new to At lanta, both of which have created little short of sensation upon their presen- tation in New York the past season. These operas are Andrea Chenier," on Monday night, and "Mefistofele," on Wednesday night.
 The single seat sale is still in prog ress, and has been marked by the un- usual demand made by out-of-town pa irons, who likewise contributed largely to the success of the season ticket sale in March The reservation of two con- plete sections of the auditorium for vis- 'itors outside of Atlanta greatly facili- tated the handling of their orders and has provided them with the same priv ileges of accommodations offered to At lantans.
 Miss Rosa Ponelle, who sings Monday and Friday nights, is the first of the songbirds to arrive, having reached the city several days ago. She is taking this opportunity to rest up in her apart ment at the Georgian Terrace previous to her Monday night appearance. The advance guard of the big company, in cluding the singers who appear during the early part of the week. will arrive in Atlanta Sunday and Monday morning, among them Gigl, Bori, Scotti, Danise and others.
 The social side of the opera this year is by no means a small part of the weeks programme. In fact, it will doubt less surpass in brilliance that of former seasons. Many social events have been planned for the stars, as well as for the visitors, who will be entertained royalIy at the various clubs and in the homes or prominent social leaders of Atlanta

THE MAGIC CUP'
 ISGALAX OFFERING
Constance Binney Has Charm ing Role in Her Latest
 Photoplay

Constance Binney, the most charming duced in many seasons. in her latest fea- ture, 'sThe Magic Cup is the special at traction announced for patrons of the Galax through Wednesday. Written es- pecially for Miss Binney, it Is the best of the several delightful screen features tn which she has appeared,
 The heroine of the piece, ffnpersonated by Miss Binney, is a little hotel scullery maid, but in spite or her lowly sphere. she is a gay and gallant little figure, not wistful, like the traditional Cinder- ella, but as cheery as a Pollyganna, though less sugary.
 Her one treasure is an old silver goblet left her by her mother and this she is in the habit of pawning whenever she needs extra funds it has saved the day for her so often that she has christened 1t her magic cup"
 The old cup bears on it's tarnished side the coat of arms of a distinguished Irish house, and some crooks, observing the girl in the pawnshop one evening and noting the engraved emblem on the cup, frame a plot for restoring the girl to this distinguished family and then using her to their advantage in some fake jewel transactions.
 As the girl knows nothing about her ancestry, except that her mother has told her that the cup is a faimly heir loom, she readily falls into the trap and is restored" to very affable though entirely bogus grandfather.
 But no- beautiru1 heroine is left in any such position very long. The Prince Charming for the little Cinderella turns up and then there is plenty of romance and adventure mixed together to form delightful story.

PUT STOMACH IN
 FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From an Excess of HydrochIoric
 Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that indiges- tion is caused by Hyper-acidity, mean ing, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents com plete digestion and starts food fermen- tation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much ike garbage sours In a can, forming acrid fluids and gases , which inflate the stomach like toy bal loon. Then we feel heavy, 1umpy mis- cry in the chest, we belch up gas, we ercutate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water -brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effer- vescing, and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutral ize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid neys and thus promote free flow of pure digestive juices.
 dad Salts is inexpensive and made from theeR cid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excel lent resu1ts.-Adv.

Wynn wrote the Mems Bible class of Trinity church asking if 1t didn't want the honor of purchasing the stone

ALICE BRADY AT
 LOCKWOOD PARK
Famous Movie Star to Appear In Her Newest Screen
 Production

Pictures have come, have enter tained and have gone at Edgewood park" said Hugh Hill, manager of the summer resort Saturday, "but think I can truthfully promise the movie fans of the city the biggest production of them all Sunday when we will offer Alice Brady, the celebrated screen star, in 'sThe New York Idea"
 Alice Brady is at her best, it is said, in this, her latest screen production, while the audience gets a peep into tion's metropolis and gets a glimpse of the revelry in gay parties along the great white way. "The New York Idea" gives one picture of life in the real Manhattan and furnishes thrill and a heart throb as humor, adventure and pathos are unwound upon the screen.
 Starting at 1 o'clock this afternoon. the new bus line service will be in operation between Birmingham and Edgewood park, and this will help the hundreds of visitors to get out to Edgewood conveniently to witness the picture programme. The busses will leave the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street on a 30-minute sched- ule, starting promptly at 1 o'clock. This added transportation feature, the re- pairing of the Green Springs road by the Birmingham Automobile club and trolley service over the mountain will greatly help to take care of the crowds that swarm to the Magic City's recre- ation center this afternoon.
 Three dances are again billed for Edgewood park this week to take place In beautiful Dream1and pavilion. The first will be staged Tuesday night, an- other for Thursday night and a grand finale for the week on Saturday night. Bus line service will also be in opera tion for all these dances, busses leav- ing Fifth and Twentieth "on a 30- minute schedule, starting promptly at 7:30 each dance night.

Mss Young will appear at the Strand for two days, Monday and Tuesday afternoon and evening. mak- ing a special trip to this section from Dallas in response to an invitation extended her on the request of her thousands of admirers. And in addi- tion to Miss Young herself her latest feature has been booked for the week at the Strand, Straight From Paris"
 The beautiful star will reach Bir- stop at the Tutwiler during her stay here. Her public appearances will be limited to those she makes at the Strand, but several social engagements are being made for her. Miss Young will make short talks at the Strand and those who have been fortunate enough to hear her declare that she is a most witty and entertaining talker.
 She is perfectly at home before an audience, because Miss Young has had stage experience before she succumbea to the lure of the screen. She comes of distinguished theatrical family and success was won by her on the stage before she began work before the camera. Tn addition to her beauty she possesses the greatest charm and her few personal appearances have amounted to triumphs.
 In Straight from Paris" her latest feature, the noted star is at her best. She is portraying role somewhat diff ferent from her latest successes but one that fits her Jas admirably. Her

vivacity, which has to be subordinated to the more exacting emotional roles, is given full away in straight From Paris" though her fuller art is also used.
 An exceptionally strong cast ap- pears in Miss Young's support. Ser tram Grassby is her leading man, while the list includes Thomas Jef- ferson, Clarissa Selwynne, William Carelton. Betty Francisco, Gerard Alexander and others.
 As the title indicates, Straight From Paris" presents Parisian life in all it's splendor and gaiety. Naturally, the scenes in which the action is laid must smack of the native soil. To give the spectator a vivid picture of the Paris ian shops and French life, the director of straight From Paris had to go to Paris flor his background. It would challenge the ability of layman to estimate the expenses involved in such an effort, and yet it appears that Miss Young's company did not give the mat ter second thought. The story was laid in France, then there was no question that the company must move there, even for the sake of but one pie ture. This explains the striking real ism of the French atmosphere with which Straight From Paris" abounds. the luxury and lavishness of investi ture and the Parisian flavor of the entire photoplay. So infectious is the smell of the soil' which this bril- liant picture ennanates that anyone seeing straight From Paris" will come out of the theatre with the feel ing that he had actually come "strai ght from Paris himself.

Clifton DOdSon, New Manager of Majestic Theatre, Talks on the Power of the
 Drama

Is the spirit of Clifton J. Dodson manager of the new Pickert company that Is coming to the Majestic May 2 typical of the theatrical manager?
 '"rhe theatre. more especially in the. case of the dramatic production, is one of the greatest influences for good in the world today" says Mir. Dodson. q do not except the pulpit, for I believe that the drama often reaches where the Half of a sermon often falls on heed less ears, but mere child will ab- sorb every word of play. Of course, this increases the responsibility of the stage to give good drama, and I feel the responsibility as much as I realize the opportunity"
 "Ten Nights in Bar Room" is one of the plays that MT. Dodson believes did a great work. why l have seen old soaks go in to see that play and for awhile after, at least, be halfway decent"
 The new manager tells of particu- lar case of the dramas influence. One night in New York during the showing of Divorce" an old man came in with his wife.
 'T came in here last night" said the man, "and I was a-thinlSing about get ting divorce like es me and me ole oman had just talked it over, but when I seen it l sez as how I'd bring in Sal tonight en mebe like es we would change our minds an keep on"
 Dr. Dodson was enthusiastic over the company's plans while in the city. Only the best plays will be produced among those that have been released for stock. Others that have not been released will be produced just as soon as given out for stock production The Pickert company expects to have 'Lightnin' before the engagement here is completed, Smooth As Silk just opening on Broadway, but open to stock producers now in the south tavus Roy Cohen's "The Crimson Alibi," and others of this type.
 Lillian Pickert and Ralph Chambers play leading roles in the company, ard in the production with which they will open their season, Fair and Warmer" Among others in the company are Jim- mic De Forrest, Frederick Clayton, Henry Coroneas and two of the old fa- vorites will remain, Marie Davidson and Jack Mott.
 The opening play, Fair and Warm er," is a regular s2 show.
 It is farce comedy, one of the bright est farce comedies of the last deeaes. 1t is an up-to- the minutes subject, and one that convulsed Jefferson audiences here last year and New York theatre- goers during the season there

Indianapolis. April za---A bronze fig ure typifying the spirit of the Amer ican doughboy is recommended by the national memorials committee of the American Legion to be erected in Gen. tralia. Wash, to the memory of the four legionnaires killed during the Armistice Day parade in 1919.
 The statue, the committed ruledl would be a more fitting monument than a s500,000 memorial building pro- posed by former service men of Wash ington. Granite headstones to insure permanent markers for the graves of American soldiers will be requested of the government to replace marble markers, which are of poor pality, T. Semmes Walrnsley of New Orleans, chairman of the memorials committee, announced.
