NORMA TALMADGE AT CAPITOL TODAY
"SmiIin' Through" Is New First National Screen
 Success

It may sound rather routine to say that Norma Talmadge has scored an- other screen success in her latest starring vehicle, "Smilin Thrt ugh" !" the First National attraction which began an engagement at the Capitol theater today.
 And so we must go little further and say that "Smilin' Through IS positively the best thing that Norma has yet done for the silent drama. More than that, it is a magnificent dramatic production in every respect. It is a new classic of the screen.
 Norma is superb in the dual role which she plays in her thoroughly capable manner. She proves herself a great tragedienne as well as emo tional actress in the part of Moon yeen, who is killed by a jealous lover on her wedding day. She is charm ing, alluring, adorable as Kathleen, the little niece of Moonyeen.
 The story revolves itself around the romance of Kathleen and young Kenneth Wayne, son of the slayer of Moonyeen, and the embittered life of John Carteret, whG was deprived or his beautiful bride at the altar.
 Wynham Standing, as John Car teret, and Harrison Ford, as Ken meth Wayne and Jeremiah Wayne, give magnificent support to Miss Tal- madge. The remainder of the cast, including Alec B. Francis, Glenn Hunter, Grace Griswold, Milan Bat tista and Eugene Lockhart, also do fine work.
 Much credit, of course, is due to the efforts of Sidney Franklin, whose skilful direction is apparent through out the screening of "Smilin' Through"

Tapping of q gas main by work men employed by the Alabama Water company here Friday caused vast in- convenience to patrons of the Ala bama Power company. 30000 gallons of water being emptied into the gas mains of the power company before the mistake was discovered.
 short time after the water began to flow into the gas pipes complaints began to pour into the office of the gas company and an investigation disclosed the fact that a costly mis- take had been made and water could not be used for a substitute for gas. Many householders of the city were deprived of the gas needed for their cooking and heating purposes from the time the gas pipe was tapped and the water began to flow through the main.
 Office men of the Alabama Power company donned suits of blue denim as soon as the predicament of their customers became known and drain pipes were opened, taps were made in low places in the city, and the workers were still busy late in the afternoon in an effort to relieve the condition caused by the water going through the pipes and preventing the use of gas in the cooking stoves ot the city.
