"Nice PEOPLE,"

All-star casts are much discussed
but seldom seen. But there was a
real cast worthy Of the all-star brand
chosen for William de Miles Para
mount production of ''Nice People"
Heading the list of notables in
this screen play is Wallace Reid, who
gives one of the best characterize
tions of his screen career, Bebe DAN
iels, star in her own right and member
of several other genuine stellar casts !;
Conrad Nagel, veteran Of de Mile
all-star productions, and Julia Faye,
who has won high praise for her work
in several recent de Mile pictures.
''Nice People, is not prosaic picture
about nice, respectable people, but a
stirring depletion of the reckless lives
of the rich young folk of today, those
who believe that anything they do is
right because they are "Nice People" :"
This production will be the offering
at the Grand Theatre next Tuesday.

CRUISER BIRMINGHAM HERE.
Splendid Warship Attracts Much At
t-nt;op-Many Visitors Go Aboard

The crack cruiser Birmingham, one
of the finest of its type in the United
States navy, steamed quietly into
port yesterday morning and cast an
chor in midstream opposite the local
powerhouse. The splendid fighting
machine in its dress of sombre gray,
with it's business like guns projecting
from it's decks, and smoke issuing
from it's four towering tunnels, pre-
sents most formidable appearance
as it rides majestically on the placid
waters of the Mississippi. Thousands
of people crowded the levees during
the whole of yesterday and today and
gazed with awe upon the vessel which
comprises small unit in the most
powerful naval establishment in the
world.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the officers of the ship, together with
the vessels brass band, were taken
to the fair grounds in automobiles,
and while the officers were shown
about the fair the band gave con-
cert, rendering ten selections to the
edification of the vast crowd of peo-
Pile present, many Of whom were chill
dren. At o'clock, the officers were
driven back to the ship.
The enlisetd men on the vessel
were given shore leave and during
the entire afternoon they could be
seen walking about the streets, TAX
ing in the sights. Many also attend
ed the fair.
From to 4 p. m. radio concert
was given on board the ship, with
opening word by Admiral Cole, fol-
lowed by monographs. The concert
was greatly enjoyed by the many peo-
plew who assembled on the levee on
both sides of the river.
At 9 o'clock last night a souper
dansant was given by the ladies of
Donaldsonville at the Elks' home, in
honor of the officers. Mrs. A. W.
Martin was chairlady of the commit
tee in charge and music was fur
| nished by Claiborne Williams orches-
ira. There was large number of
people from this city and vicinity
| in attendance, and the affair proved
the social event of the season. The
| charming young bellies and gallant
yung beaux attired in evening dress,
and the intrepid officers of the war
ship tripped the light fantastic toe to
the strains of sweet music until a
late hour and all had most delight
full time.
Today there was a game of baseball
at the fair grounds between the Jack
les of the Birmingham and the Brusly
st. Vincent team. The game proved
very spirited from beginning to end
and aroused much enthusiasm from
the vast crowd Of fans who witnessed
it.
The Birmingham was opened to
visitors from l to p. m. today and
large number Of people from this
city and neighboring country went
aboard to inspect and admire this
splendid member of Uncle Sans naval
family.
