CAPITOL THEAT RE l
 HAS STRONG PLAY.
Sister Against Sister To Be Shown For First Time In
 Birmingham Today

sister Against Sister" Herbert Brenon's latest, and what is termed fairly, his best picture, will be shown at the Capitol on Friday and Satur- day of this week, and departing slightly from their policy, the Capitol is offering this picture first run. No other theatre in the city having play ed the pcture prevous to the Captol, as the picture is new release and one that fairly smaclls of thrills. The story is plain, but carries heart in- terest galore.
 Poverty has no terror for child hood. Eleanor and little Mimi were happy in their bare little home, cared for by their devoted old grandfather. Then the Grim Reaper claimed the aged man and the two children were left alone. Young as Eleanor was, she made pathetic attempts to mother her baby sister, resolving in her childish mind that Mimi would never want for a protector.
 Pete Cordova was the leader of gang of petty thieves. Fleeing from officers of the law, he came upon the two children. Instantly he recog- nized In their beauty an aid to his dastardly schemes, and ere long the little innocents were his unwilling helpers in crime.
 Leslie Martin, a wealthy widower. was amazed one night to see crash ing through the window of his li brary, a beautiful little girl. He realized that she must be the unfor- tunate victim of desperadoes and re- solved to save her.
 And so, in the course of time, un- der the protection of the kindly bank CT, Mini developed into lovely young lady Upon Jack Martins re- turn from college. he fell in love with his fathers protege, but daZzled by her beauty, was too bashful to de- .a~a sis love. However, love will find a way and ere long the two young people became engaged.

THE BAT |s BOON
 TO THEATRECOERS
Coming Attraction At Jeffer- son Has Made History
 The Country Over

At the convention of the Interna- tional Theatrical association, held In New York this past summer, the manager of a theatre in small city sonal canvass of the delegates present with an idea of learning how their business during the preceding year had compared with that he had done at his house. The result was inter- esting to the middle westerner and 1t was of particular interest to local theatregoers, in view of the fact that the announcement was made only day or so ago that The Bat" the great mystery play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood would be presented at the Jefferson thatre for three days beginning Monday, No ember 5, by WagenhalS and kemper, it's original sponsors.
 Without one single exception the inquisitive manager received the same reply, couched In varying degrees and forms of language. Business had been only fair until
 "The Bat" came to town.
 Seemingly theatregoers who had heard for a year of more of this truly exceptional play, had made up their minds to wait until that arrived be- fore giving the theatre any serious attention With its coming a packed house took the place of many empty seats. And, best of all, after it had been and gone, business continued excellent.
 This year, of course, another year but judging from reports from vari- ous sections of the country that have drifted in her. "The Bat" Is again proving the bell leader of the sea- son; drawing crowds for itself as we'll as crowds for those that come after. That is one of the outstand- ing reasons why The Bat" in thea trical circles, is admitted be the worlds greatest play.
