RUSSIAN PIANIST
 IS HERE TONIGHT
Josef Lhevinne Comes to Jeff ferson Under Auspices of
 Local Music Study Club

There is one vital reform which the
 Russian soviet government has so
 Tar sadly overlooked; namely, that a
 law should be passed making 1t a mis-
 demeanor to name a child Sasha
 Jascha or any of the other flashy
 sounding names with which Russian
 parents so love to adorn their musical progeny.
 How it ever happened that Josef
 LheVinne, who will be heard in con cert at the Jefferson theatre tonight under auspices of the Birmingham Music Study club, escaped the nation al epidemic is hard to determine. and
 how he ever became the greatest
 piano virtuoso of his time without
 the aid of such patronymic is equal ly difficult of solution
 Rubinstefn, who was, one might al- most say, the musical godfather of
 Lhevinne when he was a student at the Moscow conservatory, was quite upset over the prospect of a young artist attempting to gain the publics
 ear, which is pretty hard of hearing when it comes to listening to young
 talent, without first hitting it in the
 eye with fine looking name.
 Wear wart on your nose, if l necessary. but be different from the grub worm of mediocrity," said he < Lheyinne, who is of 1ather phleg- Imatic temperament, went stolidly on his way, giving more thought to his finger technic than to his name. Seven hours day he labored through the first primitive ages of marbles and long trousers up to his gradua- tion, when he received the gold medal as the most brilliant and talented of his class.

HAWAIIAN PLAY COMING THURSDAY A Night in Honolulu" to Open Engagement at Jefferson
 Theatre

In "A Night in Honolulu," the Ha- waiian musical play that comes to the Jefferson theatre for three nights engagement, commencing Thursday, the author, Howard Me- Kent Barnes, has tried to set forth the true character of the natives of Hawaii.
 The Hawaiians love nature, the freedom of the woods, the caresses of the sweet-scented flowers that nes- tie IRlose to their breast Then, too, they revel in the rolling surf of the sea, while mountain streams croon a low melody to the worshipper a. it's shrine.
 This devotion to nature can almost be said to be their religion. In the sunlight they see the smile of the Great Spirit Their great love for their offspring is said to disprove malicious falsehoods circulated about their wilfull destruction of babes. Their saluation, "Alohamei," the for mer meaning great gratitude and the latter Everything I have is yours" only proves the beautiful character of the race.
 The Hawaiians appearing in the play at the Jefferson were all born in old Hawaii and have but recently arrived in this country. and their singing and dancing, with which the play is interspersed, cannot be ri- valed in this country, it is said, as they have been carefully selected for their superior ability as dancers and musicians from a race that teens with the arts of dancing and singing and also the playing of the world famous ukulele.

Announcement

Having lived in the City of Bessemer II years, and knowing very well the necessities of the people and know what law enforcement means to the people of the city, knowing the pro- tection needed for business men and in an effort to try to keep clear of mixing with every element to get service from officers. I have decided to announce and make the race for
 chief of police of the City of Besse-
 mer. The only influence to be had
 and to be exercised by chief of police
 is to strictly keep peace. see that busi- ness houses and interest is not dis turbed while business men are away from their places for a time, and at the same time to keep a viEilant look over patrolmen to see they are strictly
 on the beat assigned and doing their duties as such patrolmen and officers. This duty should be very closely con fined to the office of chief of police, and within the police Jurisdiction of
 the city, and at the same time try and keep clear of every other interest talk ing from this service this duty. It is the duty of the chief of police to see that he has men on beats who are peace officers and who are not inclined to violate the laws, who are not vicious enough to murder instead of making
 peaceable arrest, who are inclined to treat the public with consideration
 ana to make one drive to nave tne iaw enforced for protection and not for
 murder. violation of the same. let that be of the lowest or highest crime.
 It is my settled conviction that we do
 not need so many arrests as we need en-
 forcSment of the law, that is. we need peace and not to use this office for commercial purposes. and we need the
 law peaceably enforced. We need men
 to enforce the law and not violate 1t
 and then claim they have discharged an official duty. This will go down in line with the duties and powers of
 the chief of police. I will appreciate
 any vote from any citizen looking for.
 ward to this end.

AT TIE QUEEN. .

Betty Compson's newest picture is
"The Law and the Woman" adapted
from Clyde Fitch's play THE Wo-
man in the Case" Today the film
will commence its engagement at
the Queen Theatre.
Although Miss Compson was not
in theatrical life during he time that
Mr. Fitch was the leading play
wright OF the country nevertheless
the star seems to be the ideal hero
inc for the Fitch play. She is beau
tiful, polished clever and just the
height OF feminine perfection as
found in the exclusive circles OF city
life.
Mr.. Fitch wrote stories that in
VOWED many characters and were
told in numbnrless complications.
Yet through the maze OF the event.
his story was clearly discernible.
Miss Compson will have the role
OF the wife who endured much {,
save her husband from the death q
which he was sentenced for crim
IN which he had no part.
Beauty, brains and a woman's in
tuitive cleverness play a great par
in the story that makes THE Law

melodrama.
