A Virginia Courtship" is a picture
that carries the atmosphere of the
old south that still existed for some
years after the Civil war. Prue is a
member of particular Virginia fam

closer than others to the southern
traditions. The production as a
whole makes rather a point of this
southern tone, and the result is at
least entertainment of a refreshing
and clean type, with considerable
real live interest, some mystery over
some counterfeiting and a very
pretty love story. Casson Ferguson
Is well fitted to play an opposite
lead to fresh and pretty May McAvoy

The narrative of the picture is
about family quarrel that is all
settled after many years by little

THREE MUSKETEERS"
AT JEFFERSON THEATRE
In TWO SHOWS DAILY

THE Three Musketeers," which has
held the interest of millions of read
ers through the years, is now blaz-
ing its way in a flare of glory across
the screen, and Birmingham motion
picture enthusiasts have an oppor-
tunity to see it this week at the JEFF
ferson where it is being presented
matinee and night through Saturday.
And what is more. in seeing THE
Three Musketeers' they may see
Douglas Fairbanks as DArtagnan.
Fairbanks has had many roles, roles
which have placed him among the
greatest stars of the screen, but
nothing he has ever done approaches
the superlative excellence of his por-
trayal of D'Artagnan. the swagger-
ing Gascon who fights and smiles
his way into the hearts of all
nArtagnan is Fairbanks greatest
role and one of the finest portrayals
the screen has ever known, critics
say.
And Fairbanks also produced 1.-THE
Three Musketeers.' In doing so he
has made one of the finest pictures
from scenic and Photographic stand
point ever seen. Magnificent and his
torically accurate sets form perfect
backgrounds for the vivid action of
the story by Dumas. The stars sup
porting cast is excellent including
such players as Adolphe Monjou, Nj
gel DeBrulier, Mary MacLaren, Mar
guerite de LaMotte, Leon Barry.
George Seigmann. Eugene Palette
and others have important roles.
