There has been an epidemic of car
stealing in Jackson, and it seems that
no clue is obtainable as to the guilty
parties, Notwithstanding the activity
In such crooked work grows in vol
ume. Cars are stolen in broad open
daylight while parked at the most
prominent places along the main
streets, and cars are also stolen at
night, even when driven to prayer
meeting or to church. The favorite
car seems to be the Ford, as it is cas-
ier to spirit them away without notice
and disguise them and swap their en-,
gines containing numbers than 1t is
larger cars. The belief seems to be
growing that there is an organized
band Of crooks here at the capital
working with outside automobile
thieves.

Visitors from south Mississippi state
that the suggestion contained In the
Hattiesburg Weekly Citizen that the
making of bricks with some of the
state convicts for road building in
Mississippi is receiving much favor in
that section of the state, and is likely
to become one Of the legislative issues
in nominating candidates for that
body. In it's last analysis, aravel
roads, especially where not constantly
and properly maintained, are proving
disappointing. 1t is stated that brick
that are bringing SAT per thousand for
road building purposes can be manu-.
factured for So per thousand with con,

Another picture of exceptional
entcl tatnment value opened at tia

Neilan has featured the beautiful
Leatrice Joy and popular Matt
Moore and has backed them with
cast that fits nicely into his
story Of happenings in a sinai,
town. hotel.
Minnie's father owns the hotel.
but he Is more interested in a ra.
do invention that will give OF
power to run trucks, water pumps.
and other necessities that require
motivation. So Minnie becomes
the drudge. In taking.thfs role
Miss Joy has to cover up her
beauty. has to dab her face with
grease paint and powder and let
her pretty black hair hang loose.
She wears a mole. too But she's
funny. She does the oldest things
in her anger against the people
who are constantly sneering at
her homeliness. -
For the first time in his screen
career Matt Moore steps, out Of
"straight"roles to do a character
part He's the inqulsitive but FOR
gettul reporter, And he's full OF
ftfe humor, too Those who saw
the picture at sthe Virginia viii
agree! that Matt Moore was nagar

VAUDEVILLE BILL
AN IMPROVEMENT
-Four Acts at Blue Ridge tor
Last Half Of Week Win
Greater Favor.

A much better program than
the one presented at the Blue
Ridge Theatre the first three days
of this week opened for the final
half this afternoon. The Birds Of
Paradise score quite a few In
rings In various and fetching COS.
TUNES as the headline act on the
program and the rest Of the bill
Is capital too.
The two girls known ia the
"Birds Of Paradise" have much
singing and also some dancing In
their aet-so much IN fact, that
the women IN the audience have
little time to inspect the gorgeous
costumes responsible for the name
Of the act. Il is truly a magnifl.
cent act as far as the costumes
are concerned, and the girls are
capable singers and dancers.
The Newman cycling novelty, a
bicycle riding act gives variety to
the program. Some remarkable
aerobatics are performed aud
some OF the stunts may truly be
described as difficult and grotss.
que. The act seems easy, which Is
q high art for such a performance
but the penalty OF applause far
less than deserved Is paid.
Keene and Williams in "a
Barnyard Romeo" present a
splendid comedy Offering, which
went big this afternoon. Herman
Berren also has q good Offering OF
songs, completing AN excellent
bill,
For straightforward, gripping
drama It would be hard to beat
THE Broadway Madonna" the

Here is a molten picture that

and the New York cabarets: the
life OF the most wicked street in
the world with its dull-eyed
sharp shooters and It's sleek nnd
wicked women from all parts Dt
the world.
II is clean cut entertainment.
this surgiug drama called "The
Broadway Madonna" II Is not
preachy. 1t Is not mawklshly gem
timental. 1t Is strong and ytriIe
and goes straight to the point.
The story concerns weak willed
but beautiful young wife who goes
to fool-hardy lengths to do the
bidding Of her husband Even
tually she blunders and the whole
world OF hopes comes crashing
down about her. ileSfl &
A fine note Of romance and m
