"HELIOTROPE" SPLENDID
 ATvTR AT GALAX

A picture so human with the pest that is in humanity that-it is sublime. story of father love that is almost divine is only partly descriptive of "Heliotrope'r at the Galax. This pro- duction is played by actors of the strong dramatic type, and being Of deep appeal as a narrative 1t develops a photoplay that is full of feeling and tension that holds the spectator enthralled to the very last flash.
 "Heliotrope Harry is a convict of many years, who has love for his beautiful daughter stronger than time or the harsh influence of convict life. By denying his daughter even the knowledge of hiss/existence he man ages to see. that she has all of the op- portunities of other and more fortu- nate girls. Just at the moment of his great triumps in the news of his daughters marriage to man of wealth and standing he is crushed by the further news that the mother. q oman of disrepute, is planning a blackmailing scheme on the girl. Through an appeal, made most touch ingly by Fred Burton, who enacts the role of the convict father, he obtains pardon to intervene for his daughter. The remainder of the story is confined to>narrating the subtle way in which sHeliotrope Harry" thwarts the plans of his former wife in series of tragic and dramatic scenes that are all en- acted with the complete ignorance of the daughter, who believes herself an orphan throughout.

THE RIVERS END" FINE
 ATTR ACTy0N-RJA

Marshall Neilan's "The Rivers End at the Rialto is one of the best screen attractions of the week. Itis very strong picture of an impressive na ture and shrouded with a fascinating mystery. In addition to these quail ities The Rivers End' has a very fine Romantic interest. Some of the strongest scenes are in connection with certain Chinese prince, Shan Lung, and his mysterious Chinese dive.
 Lewis Stone is as dynamic as usual in his two roles in the story, with the chief one the character of John Keith. unjustly accused of murder. He is an actor of the masterful type and is well adapted to the enactment of the fugl- tive who. with the strength of self preservation assumes the identity of the very policeman who has captured him and died en route to headquarters. A great part of the interest of the story is found in the romance of Keith, the fugitive and the police with the sister of the real policeman. who Is one of the many convinced by Keith in his new identity.
 The Rivers End" will only show through today and for those who have not seen 1t is is delightful attrac-. tion that Is strongly recommended

WAY DOWN EAST"
 SCREEN PASTORAL,
BY EsTELLE BETHEA HALE

It is doubtful if any production. film or otherwise, has been so unanimously praised by the New York critics as p. w. Griffith's picturized version of Way Down East" which was given it's first showing at the Forty fourth Street the atre in that city with Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess in the leading parts. and which is coming to the Jef- ferson for a period of six days. twice daily. matinee and evenig. following the opening.
 MT. Griffith's first public presentation of his new film was of such importance that his audience was composed largely of those who attend the first nights of the conventional drama rather than the regular movie fans and to quote par agraph from the New York Telegram Those who went for thrill were not disappointed. It was there full measure and running over"
 The famous play has been clearly am plffied into a screen pastoral as only the master mind of Griffith can do His in- novations are no doubt wonderful for at the end of the first presentation his work was greeted with a demonstration that shook the very foundation of the building and that by an audience of the so-called first nighters who go to the theatre to be shown.

 TO REDUCE HAZARD

Montgomery, March 22.-(Special0-W' J. Williams, state fire marshal, today ap- pealed to all citizens of Alabama to clean up their premises at once and thus re- duce the fire hazard. He said 1t was much better and less expensive to clean up than to burn up.
 'The time for spring cleaning IS again with us, and every class of prem ises should be thoroughly cleaned inside and outside with a view of preventing fire and disease" said the fire marshal. Filth and trash are forerunners or both Every time you remove the ac- emulation of waste paper, trash, empty boxes and other matter of this kind you lessen the danger of fire. Those fire breeding agencies threaten your property at all times.
 "Get busyl Clean up! It is much bet ter and more satisfactory than to burn up. Don't say next week will be good time to clean up.

'IT'S A GREAT5LIFE,

Pierce has never asked for my cooper ation; only he adopts good deal of my work and crows about what he has done in Shelby county. His principal work in Shelby county is froms15 to 20 miles from Birmingham. and is little strip of country about 5 by IS miles in area, north of Pelham and along the Jefferson and Shelby county line, and known as the Double Oak mountain district If this small territory demands the whole at tention of half his crew I feel that he should use different tactics or try new force of men.
 The route he has taken in calling op the governor for troops seems more like some of his cheap advertising which is characteristic with him in his line of work. feel sure he will not call on his superiors at Washington for help or an investigation, because his record might be in question. and he would be removed much quicker than the route which will socE be effective.
 F regret very much that Mir. Pierce has chosen this route, attempting to in- jure 1le on account of some personal feelings. as parties not knowing the true conditions might be misled by his state- merits.
