my music was my best asset.
 "As a church organist l had round absolutely a congenial atmosphere,
 a most delightful occupation, one which I thoroughly enjoyed, but un- fortunately church organists in the
 south do not receive salaries suffi-
 cient to maintain that calling alone, and so when I investigated the field
 in the theatre, and the moving pie lures, I found that not only was the remuneration much more, but there
 vas 8 chance of a very different sort
 of work.
 Concert organ music, music in the 1 movies, music in the theatres, music
 in the churches-all differ as black differs from white, and I had to
 start at the very beginning and learn
 the very first principles of playing
 for the pictures.
 "Of course music for the pictures has become such a necessity as well as an attraction that the best or
 ganists in the country have been employed for such work; 1t has opened a lucrative field for the mu- slcan who wishes to turn his accom- plishments into account; it affords
 a means of livelihood which is digni~
 fled, pleasant and intelligent; In the New York theatres where the symphony orchestra constitutes large part of the program in. the moving picture theatres the best tall ent has been employed and many solo artists, concert artists and some
 of the highest class conductors have accepted the opportunity eagerly to turn their talent into pecuniary sub stance and the same has been made a profession.
 txi0h Class Work. Another thing that the employ ment of high class organists in the theatres and moving pictures play houses has done, is to give the pub i lie the finest instruments that are made; in fact the moving picture play houses have spent thousands upon top of thousands of dollars on
 or gans, the best builders of these | instruments constructing the most modern and the most perfect or or l gans for this purpose.
 "Besides being lucrative profess
 sion for the musician it affords an onportunitv for the organist to do
 educational work by playing the best music, presenting to the public the works of the great masters, the
 classics. as well as popular music.
 Mrs. Yam may be easily written | down as one of the most successful
 women in business in Birmingham. l for her income goes up into the thou- | sands of dollars, all from her music no other "side line" being attempted l by her.
 It is an inspiration to the woman of talent to loko, glance at the sue cessful career of this charming woman who has made a big financial
 success of her music as well as con tributing her art to the musical up- building of Birmingham, her time being exclusively employed in her work as organist at Highlands Meth | odist church on Sundays, and at
 Loew's Bijou during week days

said they could use. and Johnnie's ia

while another boys father said he
would supply the long ladders.
Now they were fixed. Bobbie was
