NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Irene Bor-

who started the world singing do
It Again." will enter the movies.
Miss Bordoni has no peer in femi-
nine allurements on the stage to-
day. Her black hair and eyes and
fun lips answer every prerequisite
for a film vamp.
1t was she who told American
wives last summer that they didn't
kiss passionately enough, and pro-
| ceeded with her own red mouth to
| demonstrate the proper osculatory
method. She is starring in THE
| French Doll" now, but the show
will close in a few days, and she
will then take up movie work. It
was also "I-rene-e" who won dis
tinction at Deauville last season by
her originality in spurning a dance
with the King of Spain.

rived from the fact that the mo-

of the quickest hits on Broadway
this whole season is an altogether
clean and beautiful picture, Hunt

Walter HERS, the fat comedian
who has just brought bride to

proved to be a new type OF picture
for Dick. 1t is a story OF the sea,
and Dick appears oftenest sans
shirt, fighting some dirty tar on
| the deck Of a bounding vessel. Fans
will not find him the shy, country
boy in thsi film, but the sensitive
son Of an old sinner who gets pretty
rough himself before the story
ends. The story was adapted by
Edmund Goulding from a London
Limehouse story and directed by
Henry King.
Dorothy Gish is the toughest lit,
tie cafe slavey that ever chewed
| gum. She has a part ideally suited
to her comedy but a type of char
acter she has never attempted be-
fore. The story is called a com
pelling sea DRAMA" but, after ALL
it is a great deal like all sea ORA
mas. There's hatred and drunken"
ness and immortality and love in It..
with love conquering all the rest.

WHEAT MARKET ISI FIRM ON BULLISH EUROPEAN CABLES

CHICAGO, August 31.-European news. of a bullish character along with higher cables, and strength in the hog market gave firm tone to the wheat market today. Toward the close, however. support fell off and values failed to retain advances es tablished earlier in the day. At the finish wheat was unchanged to h cent lower with December $1.04Ts @ 1O5 and May s1.10% @t1O% and 7s. Corn was up 1s s@H cent, oats 1s @N cent higher and provisions gained 5Q 15 cents,
 News from abroad, especially that pertaining to Italy and Greece, was readily absorbed by the bulls and wheat started with an upward swing. Higher Liverpool cables helped hog values which were the highest of the season. Firmness in the cash market ~also was a bullish factor but when buyers withdrew the market became easier Offerings were light, receipts being estimated at t75 cars.
 Trade was light, commission houses being moderate buyers. The seaboard confirmed sales of 30O,000 bushels of hard winter wheat to the United Kingdom and it was expected that 100000 bushels more would be worked before night. Sale of 100000 bushels of wheat was made to go to store.
 Corn was firm with the September delivery leading the upturn, strength in the cash market being an influ ence to some extent. Buying was scattered with some profit taking on the advance.
 Buying by a leading cash interest was a helpful factor to higher levels in the oats market.
 Provisions were strong and higher in an active trade.

r FRANCH|SE TAX ON
 ALL CORPORATIONS r FAvORED IN HOUSE
One Dollar Tax On Each 1000 Invested Capital
 Stock Proposed
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERALD Mont O0x,,c crv Alb Auo or |

Corporations doing business in Alabama will be required to pay franchise tax of one dollar on each S1, 900 invested in capital stock under the Long bill passed by the house of representatives Friday. Not many persons in Alabama knew such a bill was on the calendar until 1t was made a special order by the rules committee and was called fo~ pass age.
 The original bill as passed struck from the old law the provision eiv- ing the counties portion of the franchise tax. The house voted 52 to 26- for the bill. Representative Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery dis covered that the counties, particu- larly Montgomery and Jefferson, pay their franchise taxes, would lose their portion. He made a motion Ito reconsider the vote and it was car ried.
 An agreement was reached whereby the counties would be given the same amount of the franchise taxes they have received in the past. which un- der the new bill will be 20 per cent of the total. With this amendment the Long bill again was passed.
 Under the terms of the bill every domestic corporation organized n
 
 franchise tax of one dollar on each thousand dollars of it's capital stock, while every foreign corporation do- ing business in Alabama will be re- quired to pay franchise tax of one dollar on each one thousand dollars actually invested in operations in the state. In an address on the bill Rep resentative Long stated that the in- creased franchise tax bill is intended to take the place of the bill increas- ing the gasoline tax to three cents gallon. He said the decision to urge the bill was reached at con ference with the governor. Bill Sails Fast.
 The bill was introduced Tuesday, was reported favorably by the ways. means and appropriations committees Wednesday and came on the house calendar on a special order of busi- ness Friday. It has not lost a legis- lative day in it's career up to this time
 Had the original bill not been amended the loss to Jefferson and Montgomery counties would have been great. Representative Good wyn was joined by the entire Jeffer- son delegation in the fight for the retention of the amount which has gone to the counties In the past.
 The increase in the tax, however, wnl not mean an increase to the county as the bill was so worded that the counties will receive the amount obtained in the past and no more.
