 REAL ENTERTAINMENT

'Lasses" White and his company presented a good oldfashioned min strel show at the Jefferson theatre last night. Without any particularly novel features. it entertained large audience which gave every evidence of keen enjoyment
 MT White is a favorite in the south, and justly so. Since Honey Boy George Evans passed on and Neil O'Brien practically retired from the stage. although minstrel or ganization bearing his name con tinues to tour the country, MT. White
 Is the best delineator of darky character who visits Birmingham. He is not only gifted comedian of the unctuous type, but his mim- cially to southern people who can appreciate its humor and drollery to the fullest extent.
 While MT. White is the mainstay of the company and is funny all the time. he is not the only entertainer. In the first part" Bobby Gossans.

SEALED VERDICT IS
 RETURNED BY JURY
Result of Trial of the Jollit- Brothers Will Be Known
 This Morning

After deliberation of seven hours. a federal court jury returned a sealed verdict at 10:30 last night in the case of Jollit Brothers and five others who were on trial three days on a charge of conspiracy to violate the bankrupt law.
 Attorneys completed etheir plea to the jury at 2:3o yesterday afternoon and after an hours charge by Judge w. I. Grubb retired to the jury room at 3:30 o'clock. At o'clock the jury asked for further instructions from Judge Grubb in reference to Dr. C. M Saliba, one of the defendants, and retired again to the jury room.
 A. K. Buckleh had previously pleaded guilty to the charge and was used during the trial as a witness for the prosecution.
 Abraham Tebshrany, another of the defendants, was adjudged not guilty through a directed verdict of Judge Grubb to the jury shortly before noon yesterday
 Other defendants are Mitchell Jol- lit and Sam Jollitt of the firm of JOlllll OihClSt loAiiitT and Alexander City merchants; Moses George. Michael Bashara. Sam Saliba and G. M Saliba.
 The case Is one of the most impor- tant to come up on the criminal docket and attracted widespread at tention. Most of the defendants are Assyrians.
 Petition Bankruptcy
 On January 3, 1921, Jollitt Brothers filed a petition for voluntary bank ruptcy on both stores, claiming an indebtedness of $5o,o00, $S0.000 of which was on the Birmingham store formerly located at 2224 Second ave- nue.
 Discrepancies discovered later by federal investigators caused all de. fendants in the case to be brough, before the grand jury, where they were indicted.
 Buckleh claimed that operations for the alleged conspiracy were started in November, 1920, when first mention was made to him on the street by Sam Jollitt
 Much of Buckleh's testimony was refuted by defense witnesses, who followed Buckleh on the stand
 It is expected that the verdict will be announced when the court con venes at 9 o'clock this morning.

Many Indecencies Tolerated
Under Name Of Amusement,
Or. Fox Charges.

Christians today tolerate Mt the
movies, under the name OF amuse
ment aud art. things that In other
circles, judged by other standards
they would denounce as unclean, in.
decent, and shocking, according to the
Rev. DIR. II. p. Fox, pastor OF Ham.
line M. Z. Church, Ninth and p
streets northwest. who last night
preached a sermon on Movies and
Morals"
"The majority of people who at
tend the movies are apparently I'm.
able to tell where art ends and in.
decency begins" declared DR.. Fox.
There Is no excuse for this con-
fusion of moral values. The divid.
ing line between decency and in.
decency is always clearly visible"
DR.. Fox vigorously urged a Chris.
tianization OF the movies rather than
a prescription of attendance at them.
"The church must lay hold on the
movies Just as It has laid hold on
music" he continued. "There was
q time when music was considered
by church people a thing Of the devil,
and the first churches to install or.
gans faced serious secessions Of large
portions Of the congregations. PEG.
pie protested against 'worshiping
God with machinery. Many church
people today are just as bitter in
their condemnation Of the movie. but
we should realize that the movie can
be made an effective agency Of the
church"
DIR. Fox announced that the Ham.
line Church would continue this win.
ter its policy of presenting a motion
picture show in the church every
Friday evening.
Our only difficulty is in getting
clean pictures for these shows" DR..
Fox said. Last year we were told
repeatedly by film exchange men
here and in Baltimore that their sun
ply Of pictures suitable for showing
In church was extremely limited.
Again and again they said: Here Is
our list. Pick out what you like
and We will be glad to furnish the
picture. But we fear you will find
most Of the films a bit too snappy
for church.
