PROMINENT MOVIE
DIRECTOR BECOME
THEATRE MANAGER

s The Birmingham theatre colony
has recently added to their numbers
the personality of N. L. Register, we'll
known theatre, publicity EXPEDITION
manager and movie director, who
recently assumed the management of
the Alcazar theatre.
While he has only been on the
job a few days, Mr.. Register is not
stranger to Birmingham and the
motion picture theatre owners here,
as he has been prominently connected
with several of the largest film dis
tributing companies in many capaci-
ties, as well as having made his
home here several years ago.
In taking over the management of
the Alcazar theatre, Mr.. Register,
through his long experience in the
motion picture industry, which In
cludes everything from studio to
theatre, promises that the policy of
the Aicazar for the New Year will be
one built on personality, in that
every picture which he will offer the
theatregoers here will be personally
selected by him. Having spent close
to six weeks studying the citizens of
the city and their likes and dislikes.
he feels that he is in a position to
give them better productions for the
new year than the Alcazar theatre
has ever before presented, more es-
pecially since he will personally
select each production.
Among the attractions already
booked for the Alcazar during the
next few weeks are "Thelma," from
the novel, The Beautiful and
Damned from the we'll known
novel by an Alabama man; The
Lights of New York" My Friend
The Devil, "Thorns and Orange

Barry; Brass" and Night Life in

ROAD WORK BOOMING
TO SWELL PROFITS
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT SHOWS
RAPID PROGRESS IN SECOND
YEAR OF PROGRAM

Trunk Highway operations to ade-
quately maintain Minnesota 8 1000
mile primary road system under the
grind of record traffic and to extend
| permanent betterments as fast as cur
! tailed funds will permit are summarized
in a bulletin this week from the state
highway department. It covers the en-
tire state, shows that highway dollars
are being stretched to take advantage
of unusually favorable costs and other
| advantages and indicates that every
section is sharing in benefits.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, comments briefly on the
results supporting good roads claims.
''Other states, like Minnesota he
said, care realizing more and more
that "a good road pays for ITSELF and
it this state is to maintain it's advanced
position, good roads advocates must
give enthusiastic support to continua-
tion of the program along broader lines.
1t Is only good business to speed plans
to get the biggest measure of profits. -
How the highway forces are working
to keep the routes smooth under the
west OF unprecedented traffic and 10
build maximum new improvements in
spite OF curtailed funds is shown in re-
ports from l6 maintenance districts.
Items for this section include the fol-
lowing:

On the st. Cloud-Little Falls section
the big paving project is rapidly going
forward. One contractor brought the
states longest continuous pavement
into East ST.. Cloud last week and
another several days earlier finished the
section extending on to Sauk Rapids.
Also sections near Rice are built and
one mixing plant has been moved to
Royalton. Local expectations are that
a pavement from Royalton to st. Paul
will carry state fair visitors this year.
The St. Cloud-Little Falls detour on
the west side of the river is being pro
vided with special maintenance and
more permanently marked.
