CIVIC CLUBS PARK BOARD BILL,
 ASSURE HARRISON
Attempt To Have Governor Name Members Seems To
 Lack Effect

Assuring Commissioner w. l.. Har- rison that their organizations ap- proved of the Birmingham park board bill as drawn, representatives, of various clubs in the city have called at the city hall to give this information.
 The committee from the Kiwants club, which organization has taken a leading part in the work being done to have park board created, sent Mir. Harrison a letter stating that the committee approved the bill as discussed in the meeting at the city hall some weeks ago providing that naming of the members of te board shall be in the hands of the city commission and there had been no change in the committee regarding that stand.
 Recent exposure of an attempt to have the naming of the committee taken from the city commission and placed with the governor caused widespread comment but, so far, the influence brought to bear does not seem to have affected the status Of the bill.
 Action on the bill in Montgomery Is still awaited with more or less impatience in Birmingham, espe- cfally because budget compiling tune is on in the cty hall and Birmingham financial provision for park lm- provement will be governed to a great extent by having the measure in hand before the city plans the layout of it's finances for the coming fiscal wear.

EFFECT OF ELECTION OF JITNEYS PUZZLES
Reported Promise To Drop Litiga- tiOn In Supreme Court Recalled

What effect will the election have on the jitneys? was the question generally under discussion Tuesday in Birmingham.
 Representatives of the jitneys were said to have told Judge l.. b. Gardner of the supreme court, when the injunction hearing was held, that if the jitneys lost the election they would at once abandon opera tion and not await action by the supreme court.
 It was brought out some weeks ago when an effort was made to get special hearing by the supreme court, to which the jitney men ob- jected, that even if the jitney ordi- nance failed to carry, they corld continue to run until the supreme court heard the injunction proceed ings after the second Monday in No vember and if the injunction against the provisions of the settlement ordinance was made permanent the jitneys could keep on running indef- nitely.
 No surprise will be felt, it was said by officials Tuesday, that even if the jitney ordinance fails to carry, if the jitneys keep on in operation until the supreme court is heard from.
 It was announced Tuesday that many jitneyites were considering taking out taxi licenses to operate their cars practically at will, but there are certain provisions of the ordinance on taXis which some Of the jitneys will not be able to meet
 Because of the conditions indi- .cated to arise the city authorities advocated some time ago special hearing by the supreme court to avoid the development of the very situation likely to eVentate.

 The association has previously de- termined to carry on the plan of awarding prizes in Ensley, advertise ments as to which will be arranged differently than in the past by sug gestion of the district attorney.

CONNIE TtLMADGE EXPLAINS SHIMMIE
Hybrid Of Dancing Art EXem- pIified In A VirtuouS Vamp
 At Capitol

When is shimmie? This hybrid of the dancing art has caused more discussion, more censor and greater interest than even the celebrated turkey trot" and bunny hug" The censors blasphemed it as a move ment,' rather than a dance It has been given more variations that the origin of man.
 And now Constance Talmadge, star of "A Nirtuous Vamp," to be pre- sented at the Capitol theatre, com mencing Wednesday and through Thursday, describes the actual shim- mle in diagramatic pose, with no less an authority than GIda Gray. generally credited as the danseus who introduced in America, as the source of her definitian. In the story Of "A Nirtuous Vamp" the one man who will not respond to her vampY arts and wiles is an insurance broker who enlstS her aid tv investigate the application for a $50.000 policy on the shoulders of a shimmie dancer. Constance, as Nellie Jones, the .'vir- tuOuS Namp,' eNemplifieS the shim- mic for the broker. To do it cor rectly she sought Gilda Gray, who, in one of the big cabaret scenes in the production, entertains the sufferers of held-over July thirsts with a real Shlmm1e dance.
 However, Nellie Jones' vamping Is of an innocent nature. She is the daughter of an aristocratic family which meets with serious losses as a result of the San Francisco fire. In order to get employment with an iE- Surance company, she is forced to drop her high sounding name cf Gwendolyn Diana Beaufort Arml tage- -Beoufort Armitage.
 Gwendoly alias Nellie, meets with fine success in the business world Until she reaches the office of the president of the company and falls in love with him. shimmie artist a detective and two snobbish sisters make the picture one of the best uf John Emersons and Anita Loos s many successes.
 This excellent picture bears out the slogan adopted by the Capitol, Vel bring the big ones back some time eo vOr cau see tbem for dime"
