THE FIRST YEAR WILL HAVE LOCAL PREMIER SHORTLY

Following out the policies of the Jefferson to give their patrons the best in amusements "The First Year" has been booked for day run begin ming.
 This is a delightful comedy of small town life which Frank Craven wrote. John Golden produced under the stage direction of Winchell Smith, dropped into New York practi- cally unheralded. But from the first performance IL set the blase Broad wayite talking. for it provided that ~something different" dear to the heart of the sophisticated theatre goer. Night after night it ran for two years until if had established a record run second only to that of John Gordon's 'Ldghtntn' ?. Now for its first time away from New York local theatregoers are to have an opportunity of enjoying this delight- dul of comedy, which reveals the pe- aiod closely following the honeymoon, sp simply, so humanely, and at the same time so laughably. that it all most seemed as If one were witness ing as one critic wrote, page torn
 
 great, purely in It's littleness---in its truthful adherence to the small hap peaings that many times make the life of the newly weds such a stormy one.
 Then too. 1t Is said. the fidelity with which Mir. Craven has etched his characters and registered his situations. has caused The First Year. to be the best comedy of con temporary American life ever writ ten In America. AS Tommy Tucker, Craven is credited with creating q character that will be not only sym pathetioaily but lovingly recalled by theatregoers for years to come. In fact, all the characters introduced are the ordinary everyday type, easily recognizable as having their proto- types in every small town. It's story is the romance of an unromatic man, a bashful and diffident sort of chap, who marries an ambitious girl in his home town only to find that the first year immediately following the honeymoon Is filled with no end of little griefs and dissppointments. It is all great fun, however, and nearly all laughs, besides q wealth of clev- erly turned lines which keeps the audience in an amused state of ex- citement right up to the final curtain.

SCREEN OFFERS FIELD FOR WOMEN WRITER'S

Women, especially the emancipated ones, owe debt of gratitude to the motion picture industry, which has given them undreamed of opportu- mites in the business world.
 There are so many angles in the industry which offer employment for the feminine sex and the remunera- tion Is so generous that the business now numbers more women than men on it's pay roll.
 Miss June Mathis. writer of un- usual ability, stands out as shin ing example for many scenario au- thors to follow. She rose from the ranks and won her spurs by excep- tional work on the scenario made from Ibanez's book, 'The Four Horse men of the Apocalypse" She also increased the value of her reputa- tion by following this up with a very dramatic adaptation of "Blood and Sand" After being credited with drawing a salary almost equal to the President of the United States, as q continuity writer for the largest pro- ducing firm on the Pacific coast, she recently signed a new contract with Goldwyn which gives her the title of editorial director and an executive position second to none at the Gold wyn studios.
 Motion pictures appeal with greater force to women than to men, so it is said. and the new field certainly has been kind to the fair sex.

triumph she scored in "Humoresque," the little screen celebrity won new 1aurels in every production in which she has been seen. Before entering the films she won fame on the dra- matic stage in the "Whirlwind" as well as in other legitimate plays.
 This clever little girl was born in New York city in 1914, and started her professional career when she was mere infant. Her vivid personality lends itself admirably to the screen, and her dark lustrous eyes reflect every passing emotion. There is a great future in store for Miriam and a discerning manager realizing her unusual ability has elevated her to stardom.
 Alice CaIhoun--The flight to star dom made by this young actress has been very rapid one. She began her screen career at the age of II, when she played part with Bessie Love in How Could You, Caroline?" Her beauty and native talent won her instant recognition and her next film engagement was in Every body's Business. where she was CO., starred with Charles Richman. Soon afterward she went to Vitagraph. where she began work with Earle Williams, Corinne Griffith and Harry Mercy.
 Miss Calhoun Is splendid type of a wholesome American girl. This charming actress Is devotee of out door sports, drives her own car and incidentally works her own garden, which is a revelation to her neigh bors in Hollywood. She Is a native of Cleveland, O.. where she secured her education. She is a great-grand- niece of John C. Calhoun.
 Among big successes attributed to her name are leading roles in the Little Minister" "A Girls Desire, Little Wildcat" "The Angel of Crooked Street." "The Girl in His | Room" 'rrhe Charming Deceiver,' Peggy. Puts It Over" Rainbow Closed Doors'' and Princess Jones.

ply be of interest to its club women. that Alabama is one of five states with absolutely no regulation in re gard to the length of the working day One hundred and thirty-two ] establishments were chosen from the chief employing industries of the state. For S33 women in IT { plants, the work day was II hours or more. For all the women in l textile mills, 1t was hours. The l bulk of them. 2,004, appeared in the lO-hour group.
 The hours of work for women in Alabama are extremely uneven. Probably no industrial condition in the state cries so loudly and insist entity for revision as the length of i the working day.
 Hours should Be Shortened
 No woman should be permitted to work for longer hours than is con- sistent with her health and physical we'll being, and her ability to promote the general welfare of her increas- l ing usefulness as a healthy and in- l telligent citizen.
 "Lessening the hours leaves more opportunity and more vigor for the 1 betterment of character and the im- 1 provement. of the home. For these reasons the short work day is an advantage to the entire community. 1 Tn the program of limitation for the Alabama industrial women has the League of Women voters your sympathy and cooperation?
 Tt Is not the individual capacity, but the linked capacity that counts.
 Do you, too, want Alabama to fall in line with the other progressive states who have adopted an eight hour day and a forty eight-hour week for their industrial women.g
