While attention has been persistently
directed to "the picture of the future,
1t is tho film Of today in which the
| theatergoers are interested and which Is
the only accurate gauge Of the progress
already accomplished. Even the great
features of yesterday show their period
rhotograp hically and In action when
compared to the products Of advanced
picture making today.
This, at least, is the opinion Of Wheeler
Oakman, who is appearing in the title
roles of Oliver Morosco's productions,
The Halt Breed and "Slippy MCGEE. "
Oakman, who has steadily advanced into
tho fore ranks Of hlmdom, is qualified to
speak, for his picture experience bridges
the past and present In the silent drama.
He was In the cast Of the first "big
picture" ever made in America, "The
Spoilers" which revolutionized flme
ana eeCAolSneu Cn6 feature over INC
one and two-reelers.
The Spoilers was made in 1913 at a
cost of $4,000, and the motion picture
industry at that time gasped at such
an enormous outlay of money" said
Oakman. 1T was predicted that the
public would not accept long picture
and that Colonel Selig would be fnan-
cially ruined by flying in the face Of es-
tabllshed precedent with picture Of nine
reels Yet history has shown that the
modern picture was born In The Spoil
ers.'
I'm those days we were making one
reelers in day. Often the director wrote
the story while on way to location. When
eight weeks were required to photograph
The Spoilers 1t was looked upon as a
monumental waste Of time. Yet, If that
same picture was to be made today 1;
would require four TO FIVE months with an
expenditure Of 5000, 900, because thorough
ness, infinite care even to the last detail.
elaborate sets and scientific lighting
would prevent the rushing methods Of
eight years ago.

In considering Cecil E. De Miles ex-
travagance in producing "The Affairs of
Anatol," one is impressed by the thought
how the producer will use his extrava-
CANT and costly tastes in the future
Whether one considers "The Affairs of
AnatoF' a great picture or not, the
individual is. forced to admit that moth
ing more elaborate or costly has been
presented on the screen.
D. W. Griffith is eKtravagant in a
spectacular way-as noted in the ice
scene In way Down East" the enor-
nous sets and thickly inhabited scenes
in Intolerance and the large cast en-
ployed in certain scenes in 'HThe Birth
Of a Nation"
De Miles extravaganza is found in his
desire to place his leading characters in
home" surroundings which would be
suitable for the use Of a king and queen.
He has given Gloria Swanson in the
"AnatoP' movie a dressing room that is
suitable for studio purposes alone. 1t
is so elaborate that one wonders how
the members of the company can feel at
home in it.
In addition, Miss Swanson wears gowns
Of extravagant beauty. The same is true
with Bebe Daniels in her scenes Of this
movie He even gives her a leopard, 1
think it is leopard, as a plaything.
am told that jewels worn by Wanda
Hawley in 'The Affairs OF Anatol" are
the real article and the looks of them
gives one that impression
Careful consideration on my part leads
to the thought that De Mile is the only
producer at the present time who is
capable Of being so extravsgant. His
extTavaganca is not waste, but q sure
means of securing favorable comment. =
I am Of the opinion that "The Affairs

NEW MUSIC BOX
THEATER HOUSES REVUE

1t would be impossible to do justice
to the new Music Box inaugurated this
week by Sam H Harris and Irving Ber-
lin. Mr. Berlin himself wrote the revue, 4"
or at least the Hitting tunes that go with
it, while Frances Nordstrom, William
Collier, Thomas Gray, George V Hobart
and others OF the Broadway Who's Who
added lines and Jingles and to this was
added the stellar efforts Of William Col
Her, Sam Bernard, Florence Moore, Irv-
ing Berlin, Vida Bennett, Joseph SAINT
ley, Ivy Sawyer Paul Frawley, Richard
w. Keene, Emma Haig, Hugh Cameron,
Nile. Marguerite, Frank Gill, Chester
Hall, Rene Riano, Rose Rolando, Maui
rice Quinlivan and others to the number
of fifty or more
To speak of the entertainment is be-
yond the power Of the average reviewer
These ,"revues" must be seen and heard
to be understood and appreciated. It is
only necessary to say that of this type
nothing has been done or is likely to be
done that will bring the blush of diEap-
pointment to the cheek OF any one asso-
ciated with the new enterprise. Nor to
the beautiful, artistic and attractive new
playhouse as well. Mr. Berlin's Say It
With Music" was perhaps the outstand-
ing feature Of the vocal numbers. 1t Is
sure to be sung wherever tuneful mu-
sic is a fad. And the lyrics are not less
interesting than the music. Who will
not agree with the writer who sings:
Say 1t with music, say it with music.
Somehow I'd rather be kissed
To a tune by Chopin or Liszt.
At any rate the Music Box is a welcome
addition to the fast growing group of
local playhouses.

MAKE II A MILLION"
 COMMITTEE BUSY ON PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
Team Captains Chosen, Work CTS Being Selected and Everything Being Pre-
 pared to Raise Fund

When the campaign begins Tues day, May 31, to Make It a Million for Birmingham-Sout college, much of the preliminary work will have been done and good start to- ward the goal, which is $300,000 for Birmingham and Jefferson county, will have been made.
 While the central committee was not ready yesterday to give out the names of prominent men who had promised to donate large sums, it is known that quite a gratifying number have thus given the movement a big impetus before it is launched.
 The first solicitation in the cam paign will be by the church group. The 2S teams representing all the Metho- dist churches in the Birmingham dis trict will start work next Sunday after noon and due to the fine organization perfected by the various teams under the church directors and district direc- tor, Fen F. Ray, 1t is expected that their work will be concluded before the groups making the general can- vass begin work the following Tues day.
 TWENTY TEAM CAPTAINS
 Already 20 team captains who will have four additional workers with each team, have been chosen and they are perfecting the details of their or ganizations and are dividing the work and making out the lists of men to be seen. The other group will consist of three teams which will call only on men interested in educational work and who are expected to make con- tributions somewhat larger than those received in the general solicitation.
 s The details of the banquet scheduled for Monday night May 30, will not be made public until the return of pr. Guy E. Snavely, chairman, from the east. An able speaker for the occa- sion has been secured and a pro- gramme of great interest arranged for this gathering, which Is expected to be attended by not less than 250 people.
 mittee from all parts of the state in- eicating that the success of the Chris ton education movement, from which Birmingham Southern college is to re- ceive $700,000 seems assured and some of the churches are said to already have more than entire quotas pledged.
 ENCOURAGING REPORTS
 Reports of other educational cam paigns throughout the country show that despite the depression, which in most cities is far more serious than Birmingham, the various colleges are meeting with fine success in their ef- forts to get money. Memphis has just oversubscribed the quota to secure the transfer of the Southwestern Presby- terian university from Clarksville to Memphis and Carlton college in Minne- sota has succeeded with a campaign to raise $2,500,000. Wesleyan college in Connecticut is now in the midst of campaign to raise $3,00O, 900 and more than $2,250,00o has been secured in less than half the time allotted.

Eur russ, who declared last night he would make a request for postponement of consideration until that time, at the Tuesday meeting of the board
 Postponement of action is necessi- tated, according to MT. Burruss, be- cause the commission, in working up a satisfactory ordinance, will not be able to get over routes in time to act on a suitable measure Tuesday.
 transferring Jitney lines to streets on which street cars do not run will be carried out so far as is practical in the ordinance which is finally adopted. 1t Is thought. To this end. many routes are being inspected by the board
 Other members of the commission are said to be inclined to regulate the J1tneys, their wish being to see that no one is done an injustice in the reg ulation of the carriers.
 E Citizens of Ensley will hold a mass meeting tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, Jitneys being the chief topic of discussion. Persons living in this sub urban community declare they should not be made to suffer because of the sins of the Jitney serving people living closer in.
