SELMA COURT ID
 CONVENE TODAY
Case of Green vs. Railway Brotherhood to Come
 Up

Selma, January s.-(Speciai. D. SuaBe S F. Hobbs will convene cir cult court in Selma Monday morning zt ; o'clock in order to hear plead ings in civil suits. which will come up for trial during the term which opens Monday, January 16.
 Of considerable local importance will be the suit to determine the right of the city of Selma to pave Selma avenue. Many of the property owners on this street filed formal protest against their assessments for the paving. charging that they were excessive and not warranted in law.
 Another case of unusual interest is that of J. W, Green vs the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, which was remanded to the circuit court by the state supreme court for re-trial. Tnis case dates back to the days of the threatened railroad strike ill the spring of 1917, when MT. Green is alleged to have stated that he would not go out on strike if called, be- cause of the wartime conditions. Mir. Green entered suit TOT SoVsOoU when expelled from the brotherhood When the case was heard in the Dallas county court mistrial resulted. In the second trial a judgment of S10,- 900 was rendered against the brother hood, but the decision was reversed by the supreme court.
 Judge Hobbs will be disqualified from sitting on either of the above cases, as he acted as legal counsel, and Chief Justice Anderson will have to name a special judge in his place,

Smart Comedy Produced 0h Lavish Scale Here Last
 of Week

The smart comedy Irene" which for two whole years created sen- sation at the Vanderbilt theatre in New York, closing there June 18th, will be offered at the Jefferson Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with "a matinee on Saturday.
 The Vanderbilt Producing com pany, the sponsors of Irene" pre- sent the attraction here with the same lavish investiture of scenery and effects seen in the New York production, and with the wealth of beautiful costumes designed and created by Lucile-Lady Duff Cor don, all of which are a replica of these worn by the ladies in the met ropolitan presentation of the play.
 Nor must it be forgotten that the cast of players has been a most im- portant feature in the organization of this company. Each and every member whether he or she be prin- cipal or of the chorus, had to work with the Metropolitan company and qualify, before they were signed for this tour. This was the idea of James Montgomery, the author, who took this means of ascertaining whether each individual was fitted to his or her part.

ANDREW AND
 FMOGENE
By ROE FULKERsoN

"oh, I have been bored to distrac- tion this afternoon exclaimed Imo- gene. You remember. Helen. the daughter of the lighthouse keeper. where we were at Point Lockout last summer? You know what pretty picturesque little thing she seemed then. Well, she has been here all Afternoon and she has driven me fran tic"
 Is that sop said Andrew. Let me tell you why. honey. She did not bring the lighthouse to town with her. She left the whlrling, chatter ing gu1ls down there and she left her scanty skirts and flying hair at home.
 Do you recall, also dear, that when you and were down there strolIing along the beach we picked up hun dreds of little pebbles and shells and brought them home and threw them away after we got here? That was because we could not bring back with us the boom and rush of the surf that bathed them in its spindriff until they glittered like diamonds on the beach. We could not have, for them, the background of glititering sand or the fleclSs of foam that flew about us in the wind.
 Do you also recall that on our road home from there we stopped at the edge of field and I gathered for you arms full of some little blue wild flowers which were growing all over the place? If you remember them, you will also recall that when we got them home and put them in water they were not so pretty after all That was because we could not bring homo the green field in which they grew we could not bring with them the songs of the little birds that teetered and whistled on the stems of them, and we could not bring home the dark background of pines beyond them that made the green fields look, like an emerald set in dull green gold
 These things, honey are like the glass of wine we used to sip in a bril- liantly lighted restaurant with an or chestra playing, beautiful gowns and all the sparkle of the electric lights compared with the present swig of grog taken out of the bottle in an alley back of the garage.
 Tt is like the beautiful dancing girl in her diaphanous draperies wheeling in the spotlight on the stage and and the same girl in a greasy kimona and her hair done up in screw papers munching a raw beef and onion sandwich in her own little flat.
 The person who tries to take any beautiful thing out of US natural set ting is sure of a disappointment
 The true philosophy is to enjoy with eyes, with ears, with every sense the beautiful things of life and then pass on.
 'The man who marries the dancing girl finds that she is like the pebbles and the gull wings you brought home from the beach; thing away from it's environment like your caller of this afternoon.
 The man who guzzles out of a bottle finds none of the beauty of e glass of wine and gets only its stu pefying and brutalizing effects.
 There is a time and place for ev- erything and"
 And this is the time and the base ment is the place to shake. the fur naee." broke in lmogene. Your cold, hard reasoning reminds me that this room is cold and the furnace hard to shake"
 Andrew sighed deeply and rose to go do her bidding.

MIME. ADLER AT JEFFERSON IN
 "STEPCHILD OF THE WORLD'


 Those who are anticipating the performances at the Jefferson to- night and tomorrow night of Mme Sarah Adler in The Stepchild of the World" renowned Jewish play, will be interested in a brief sketch of Jewish stage history.
 It commences with the year 1870, over one-half century ago. when Ja- cob P. Adler started acting in his first play "Shulamite, written by the Hebrew poet, the late Abrain Goldfadden. Owing to the rather poor cast of the actors in the or thodox mind, the Jewish girls could not be induced to appear, and the author was compelled to train boys with soprano voices for women's roles "Shulamite" was, the, founda ton stone of the Yiddish stage. Later plays contained familiar Biblical plots, such as the life of King Solo mon. Joseph and his brothers and others.
 About 35 years ago Jacob P. Ad- Ter came to America with a Jewish newspaper man, Jacob Gordon, and started a new era for the Yiddish drama by preparing good translations of the classics, including the best known works of Shakespeare, Shiller, Goethe, and some of the French dra matists.
 The late Jacob Gordon Is the au- thor of 75 modern plays. and Jacob P. Adler portrayed all the characters in Gordons plays. The famous Ja- cob r. Adler has never been persuad- ed to come out of his own Yiddish dialect, but with a specially selected English cast, he played Shylock at the Broadway theatre in New York, and accounts of his achievements went over the entire English speak ing world.

MORE TRUTH
 THAN POETRY
THEN AND NOW
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THEN AND NOW You doubtless remember the tale Of the night which, though wintry and wild, Yet was pierced by the heart-rending
 vail
 Of the helpless saloonkeeper's child. She sat in her lowly, thatched cot, On cheap little, mean little street; Distressing indeed was her lot, For she had but dry crust to eat. The brewery'd foreclosed on her
 thriftless old dad And the crust-a quite small one
 was all that she had. She knew if for aid she applied What the pitiless neighbors would
 say, And so she just sat there and cried, Which cheered her a bit-in way, Far be it from her to beg bread, Or to crave, say a pie, as a boon, And to hear it remorselessly said, Your father-he keeps a saloonp' So she ate up her crust, in single
 brief bite, And vainly sought sleep for the rest of the night. How altered conditions today. When saloonkeepers flourish no
 more, And the bootlegger drops in to say That he's got a nice case of pre-
 war;" 1.-Two hundred a case for five star,'' He snarls in hard, rasping voice; i've promised my daughter a car And I think she prefers a Rolls
 Royce.' You pay it perhaps-and buy six
 quarts of water. But you never will weep for the boot
 legger's daughter!
