 Her plan is to bring back 10 the city on this dny all famous ex- Magic City residents who have achieved fnme in other fields, or who are Birmingham citizens, but are called to live part of the year fn other cities.
 Men and women of the stamp of Senator Oscar Underwood, ". F. G. Harding, of the federal reserve board, and Lois Wilson and Mne Allison, star movie actresses, would swell an invitation list to over flowing, Mrs. Adams believes.
 This idea is heartily indOrsed by John c. Henley, Jr., former news paper man, and a member of the executive committee in charGe of arrangements for the centennial celebration.

Progressive Birmingham is behind the lighting of Fifth avenue, north. from the Terminal station to the Tutwiler hotel. Establishment of a white way along this important artery is decisive stroke in selling visitors on the city.
 With a well-lighted thoroughfare greeting them as they step from our 2,000,000 station, every person coming here would be most favorably im- pressed. As it is now, he feels as though he had stepped right out of metropolitan city into the valley of the shadow of death.'

1.-THE PERFECT WOMAN" WITH CONSTANCE TALMADGE

'The Perfect Woman" with Constance Talmadge now showing at the Riaito might be called perfect satire also. It is a direct play on the age-old habit of
 placing premium on ugliness.
 That the ugliest women are considered
 the best and most beautiful open to con- stant suspicion and criticism is fact that the writer of the play, Anita Loos.
 has played on most cleverly.
 Constance Talmadge acts with her
 usual elusive charm. In the scenes
 where she is so hopelessly and studiously flirt she is simply fine, and gets lots of good comedy into production. aside from the general humor of the story.

Has the real Christmas spirit been
laid upon its bier by lot of old
fogies who have lived too long to
sense the thrill of the holly and mis-
tletOe whose spectacleS and whiskers
have debarred them from entering the
kingdom Of pure delight where the
children wander; and whose dyspeptic
spirits have been warped with acid
bitterness until they can no longer
flow with the sweet joy of Christmas
cheer? No! The real happiness
and the cheer that go with red-rib-
boned wreaths and twinkling candles
peeping and winking from between the
green of fairy Christmas trees; the
thrill of myriad toys stacked in chaotic
heaps; the mystery Of tissue paper
bundles; the secrets that fly back and
forth under the grave cover of seren-
ity; the smell of spicy fruitcake and
the mellow aroma of holiday baking
are here. They are here as they are
always here when the holidays are
