ship They feel themselves patriotic in that they claim they put country above party.
 Save only nominally. democrats have nothing to do with the bloc. Their activity, without the republi- cans. would be ineffective. The Pres ident ignores their activity. But the activity of handful of progressive republicans Is an entirely different matter
 While to the Presidents mind. these progressives who supported the dem ocrats spoiled the extraordinary ses- sion. democrats contend that they are entitled to all that was good in the extraordinary session. The inde- pendents feel that they accomplished much by making the democratic par ty on several occasions, the majority party. They feel that by their con duct they have made themselves safe in their political possessions.
 Party Split Possible
 The republican situation at the cap itol is analogous with the situation preceding the destruction of Cannon ism, and the election of Woodrow Wilson.
 If 1t continues and Is irritated, the party split may result in the election of a democratic congress next fall In that event. bitterness would be- come so highly developed that a democratic president would be elected in 1924.
 There are many reasons, pressing reasons, for the Presidents agita- ton.

THREE MUSKETEERS IS GREAT PICTURE
In Portrayal of D'Artagnan, Fairbanks Reaches Great
 est Heights of Career

"The greatest picture l have ever seem is a frequent comment from those who have seen "The Three Mus keteers," showing at the Jefferson this week. Douglas Fairbanks has reached the greatest heights of his career in his portrayal of D'Artag- nan in this picturization of the great novel by Dumas, and the picture as a whole Is ranked as one of the finest the screen has ever known.
 One of the greatest productions of all time is the verdict which has been accorded The Three Musketeers" by critics where it has been shown. For months 1t ran on Broadway to ca paclty houses, when the legitimate stage productions were playing to small crowds. Fairbanks is said to give a production of fire and forSe that has rarely been seen,
 One reviewer says: "Other adap- tions have been made of the Dumas "ork on the screen besides this film, Whlch consumed six months in the laorlcating, but none has\ ever ap- preached it In vim and action yyhi .b praceo the overflowing audience to the point Of bucking the crowds lined up outside afterward with zest.
 It Is a kind of combination of Dumas, Douglas and delirium. One moment 1t bolls with action and the next 1t snaps and sparkles with humor like D'Artagnan's own rapier. The spectators alternately whistIad with glee at Fairbanks prowess an, the next shrieked with laughter at his comedy"

MIND READING ACT

~ tNH CuE OF LOEW'S BILL
 Standing out prominently on a bill composed of exceptionally good acts is the offering of Ali Rajah and com pany, at Loew's Bijou for the las half of the week. This act is one of the ordinary mind reading and men tai telepathy acts, but it is "carried on" in somewhat of a different man. ner.
 Ardo and Eddo, comedy athletes. are on the initial spot on the bill and put the audience in a very fine mood for the enjoyment of the rest of the program. The closing stunt brought them applause.
 Mae Marvin's speciality was that of singing Eastside brogue and chang ing to really clean-cut English. Her act is good one of it's kind.
 Monroe and Grattan offer a very amusing skit which IS backed up by suitable scenery and scme real wit ticisms. Miss Monroe provides the music acceptably.
 Wells and Devereaux, in "A wop and His English Pal" have a line of chatter that is really funny and the actors do not overdo it.
 The closing act is that of Ali Rajah, Hindu mind reader. The audience fur nishes most of the material for this act-and certainly the questions. Ev- erything is done up and above board.'

As a finale to the nights hunting, in which two coons were treed a coon was released and 23 dogs allowed to take the trail, which led for mile and a half before the animal was caught.

WANDA HAwLEY EN
 aTHE LOVE CHARNIv-GALAX

A comedy drama that is a remark ably fine study of two distinct types of girls is The Love Charm" star ring Wanda Hawley, at the Galax. One type is the whole hearted and whole souled regular American girl, the other what is termed the typical American "flapper," product of the more frivolous side of American life. As a whole "The Love Charm" is one of the best comedy dramas the screen has>had to offer at any theatre.
 This idea in the love charm of two kinds of girls is carried out in a conflict that would be natural be- tween the conflicting dispositions. The comparison Is also emphasized in dress and mannerism. and partic- ularly in the differing methods of winning the man of their hearts de sire, for both.. by the way, wish to win the same men, only in quite op- posite ways. The ''flapper" wishes to carry him off his feet by the sheer

and gorgeous screen productions of fered in many seasons.
 The picture Is big, broad d-gauged and colorful, its scenes so numerous and so vastly far apart in concep- tion and illustration that constant interest is excited
 They leap from peaceful episodes following a ride to hounds in Eng land, to the barbarous splendor of a court of ancient Rome. Back again to palpitating Paris, it's gorgeous gambling dens, where men risk their all on a turn of the wheel, on to scenes of wild revelry, or beautiful women, audacious gowns and t h maddening dances of wild Apaches.
 Through it all a throbbing tale of love, of environment and of destiny's controls winds it's way.

AGRAR|AN BLOC
 IN NO DANGER 0F
 BEING SMASHED
Members Are Sounded Out and All Pledged to Remain StaunchIy By Their
 Guns
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Ags-HeraId.

800 Davidson Building
 Washington, December IS. (Spe- cial.)-The conservative or so- called reactionary wing of the republican party Is engaged in concerted ef- fort to smash the so-called agrarian bloc in Congress.
 The President gave notice of such in his recent address to both houses on the converting of the Sixty-seventh Congress. That the cabinet supports the President was demonstrated by Secretary of War Weeks in New York. Administration leaders in Congress are alternately threatening and cajoI- ing. Political masters throughout the country are bringing pressure to bear. The effort will fail The bloc Is more firmly organized today than during the extraordinary session It's members have been "sounded out" and all of them have pledged them selves to remain staunchly by their guns.
 Jeopardixe Harding Policies
 The PTeSlQent has several reasons for desiring to smash the bloo In the first place, he believes that his policies will be of benefit to the people, and he knows that with the bloc operating, his policies are con stantly jeopardlzed. He appreciates the failure of the extraordinary ses- sion. and he feels that the regular ses- sion is likewise endangered
 In the second place, through his .spokesmen. he advances the argu- ment which is admittedly sound that class legislation Is inimicable to good government. He holds that body of legislators sworn to protect one great class cannot protect all great classes, and therefore, cannot dis charge Its duty to the republic.
 In the third place, the president is moved by a political consideration. He has confessed that he believes in a government by political parties. He knows that the bloc movement is a progressive movement, and is calcu lated to split the republican party throughout the nation just as 1t has split the party in Congress. If the progressives run riot. he knows that the democrats will be restored to power.
 Proud of Accomplishments
 The bloc is apparently little under stood throughout the country. It is composed of a number of independ- ent republican members of Congress who prefer to vote with the demo- than with the republican member

MANY REQUESTS
 MIDNIGHT SHOW
Mamie Smith, Famous Negro Singer and Jazz Company
 at Jefferson

Birmingham's first midnight show promises to be one of the biggest suc- cesses of the season, Judging by ad- vance requests for seats. Mamie Smith, famous negro singer, and her jazz company will present this show at the Jefferson Monday night at 1f:30 o'clock for white persons only. the management of the Jefferson having arranged for it specially. This company will give three regular per formances for negroes only Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday matinee.
 Mamie Smith is said to be one of the most sensational figures on the stage. A few years ago she was sing ing in cabaret in Norfolk. A man. ager heard her sing and immediately booked her for a long time. Her jazz records are now considered among the best and she Is declared to be the highest paid negro star on the stage.
 In addition to Mamie Smith In the show next week are the Norfolk Jazz Quartet, jazz band and 14 acts of vaudeville. all said to form an un- usual entertainment.

force of the jazz and the power to stun, the other girl is more willing to be deserving.
 Wanda Hawley plays the regular girl and does some very fine acting. Especially well does she put over the scenes where she strives to disgust through assuming the "flapper's" art.
 Some outstanding features of the picture are a beach party and a flap per dance-wild affairs made humor- ous to help along the story, also true to life.

LYRIC BILL ONE OF THE BEST OF THE SEASON

So far as local vaudeville is con- cerned, when there is a male quartette on the bill with any life at all there Is little or no use to announce anything else as the headliner. Such is the case at the Lyric this half, where one of the most exceptional male quartettes is billed in the second spot.
 The entire bill is well above the ordinary, with other fine acts. but the quartette simply brought down the house. Really this as about the liveliest bunch of young chaps we have ever had. The Texas Four" as they are billed. do more than just sing jazz songs-they simply wade through them.
 When seeing Claudia Coleman in her presentation of feminine types the spectator is led to wonder how Miss Coleman could have attained such a knowledge of woman nature in just one lifetime. Miss Coleman imperson- ates feminine types of widely differ ing types with kindly but deadly ac- curate humor. All are fine and she got splendid hand.
 The act billed Hats and Things Is about the kind of act the billing indicates, just lot of bright non sense in hat store. The act is pre- sented by a man and woman who do the difficult thing of holding the in- terest and entertaining the audience alone with solid talk act except one or two songs. This act brought a number of good laughs.
 Back to the opening. "The Melodic Misses. who are two very pretty xylophorie artists, play some lively and enjoyable music An instrument on which they play few tunes to one side is surprise to the audience and a compliment to an ingenious in- ventor. Closing act is comedy-nov city with usual topics of the day and news.

of the seventh, Armstrong, pitching
for Green Bay, was hit freely and the

Wausau to make eight runs. Bentz,
pitching for Wausau, was in fine form,
and his team supported him we'll.
