 MUSICAL NUMBERS
"CaIifornia Romance" Film Attraction At Biiou For
 Last Half

With musical and dancing mum bers predominating, another treat is promised at Loew's Bijou beginning Thursdax,safterno in the vaudeville offering, and in addition there Is also another of those fascinating screen features. "A California Romance" the latest William Fox production, with John Gilbert as the star, well sup ported by Miss EsteHe Taylor.
 The Hite-Rellow Revue of songs and character dances heads the vaudeville bill, presenting smart revue of gems of the best musical shows, and considerably comedy is promised by the "Purveyors of Phun ." Luckie and Harris, with comedy talks songs and dances.
 Other acts of merit on this bill in clude an original humorous skit en- titled Domestic Wrangles,' :. by Hays and Lloyd with more music furnished by White and Grey, in Melodies a Ia Carte" presenting harmony songs and dances, and real "rounding out~ act of the bill is that of the -Four Tllerons in a versatile series of nov city gymnastic exploits.
 The Fox picture. "A California Romance," tells the story of the time when California was ceded to the United States, The picture is excellently directed, has an inter- esting story and fine photography. Gilbert's acting is said to be equal to his usual sterling performance, with Estelle Taylor playing the lead ing feminine role The story in- cludes many thrills that. carry the audience along with the action of the picture. Gilbert has an opportunity to show his skill with the word and makes the most of it. His portrayal of the gay cavalier who sings lilt- ing love songs all day, and who later struggles in mortal combat foE the girl of his heart, is a dramatic triumph.

SLEEK GOES TO PARIS

RudoIDh Valentino Ignores Mash
 Notes Of English Beauties
 LONDON, Aug, 15-Sheik Rudolph Valentino took his gorgeous way to Paris Wednesday, having boughu new suitcase in London in which to carry the mash notes he acquired
 There were 800 notes in all ten der pink, blue and green eplstles, ad- dressed in the square hand writing of London's flappers.
 But analysis of the missives ln- dicated a practical turn of mind on the part of the British belles who sought Ruddys attention.
 One proposed that he buy her a new dress, another send batch of pawn tickets, together with note hoping that the American would pro. vide money for the redepmtion of the family jewels.
 Sentimental misses sought locks of hair, while stage struck ones clam ored for a chance to get into the movies.
 One beauty, who enclosed her photo to prove that she was weel fitted to reign in Hollywood, suggested that Valentino finance her trip to America and thereby earn fame for herself by providing a new star for the silvered screen.
 Buddy, however, stood pat, bought some new English sports suits and left for gay Paree without answering the letters.

JILL WEEK SHOW PLANNED BY L0E w
Vaudeville Magnate Shows Faith In Birmingham.
 Starts October 1

Birmingham, Atlanta, Memphis and New Orleans vaudeville patrons will benefit by a change of policy an nounced by Marcus Boew. through his general representative, E. A. Schiller, who was in Birmingham Wednesday, This change. which goes into effect at Loew's Bijou here October 1, means a better grade of photoplays and vaudeville, according g to Mr. Schiller, both pictures and acts being booked for full week runs in these cities. Advance in admission prices here will be slight. if any, ac- cording to Harry Portman, Birming- ham manager.
 According to MT Schiller, MT. Loew is showing his confidence in the south in making this change. In creased attendance during weeks when special attractions were booked for a full weeks convinced him that now was the time to take the step which places Birmingham and the other southern cities on a parity with the larger cities of the north in the class of vaudeville and films offered.
 Mr. Portman said Wednesday that the theatre would be thoroughly overhauled and renovated before the new policy goes into effect, repre- senting an outlay of several thous- and dollars.
 While Mr. Schiller was in Bir- mingham he intimated that Loew's would be in a new hope in short time. The lease. on the Bijou theatre expires April 1, 1925, he said.
 Tt is perhaps difficult for the lay man to understand the handicap bookers are facing when two fun shows weekly are arranged" said Mir Schiller in commenting on the change. q feel safe in saying that there are not 52O standard vaude- vile attractions to be had yearly and surely not lO4 feature pictures. Our bookers have been up against such handicaps for some time and only re, gently we discovered through acid tests that theatre-g -goers desire the choice of productions and that they would support us in weekly pro grams quite as royalty as they had done in the semi-weekly change.
 Mir. Schiller left Wednesday after noon for Nesv Orleans. He Is sus- gesting necessary changes in theatre equipment and also discussing the question of a new site in Birming- han, for TOeW's theatre.

BRICK HATES HELD. UP BY COMMISSION
Birmingham Brick Users Gain Victory In Gaining SuSpen-
 sion Of Schedule

Approximately s6o,0OO per year for homebuilders in the Birmingham dis trict and s1,O0O,o00 a year for home builders throughout the southern ter ritory will be saved in the suspension by the interstate commerce cOmmis- sion of the revised rates filed by the carriers on brick and other clay products to, from and between points in southern territory, which were to become effective August IS, traffic men here estimated Wednesday.
 Although the interstate commerce commission, in making it's decision, specifically stated that the preserva- tion of the carriers existing revenue should be the guiding rule, the car riers, in almost every case, increased the level of brick rates to that pre- vailing on hollow building tile, which was included in a uniform brick llst prescribed by the commission.
 John w. Sibley, chairman of the Southern Brick and Tile Manufac- turers association and general sales manager of the Birmingham Clay Products company; M. B. Greenough, vice president of the Southern Clay Manufacturers company Chatta- nooga, Tenn, and c. E. Jones, secre- tary of the Birmingham Traffic as- sociation, brought the petition for suspension before the commission;
 The action taken by the commis- sion means a great deal to brick manufacturers and consumers. Par ticularly Is 1t reckoned a telling vic tory gained by those who advocated She suspension in view of the fact that the commission refused to sus- pend the revised rates on iron and steel articles, furniture, agricultural implements and canned goods, which became effective July 1 and which was protested against by shippers throughout southern territory.
 The Alabama public service com mission also has filed petition for suspension with the interstate com rnerce commission.

 Smith stated to The Age Herald the four men attacked him from behind as he was en route home, badly beat him about the face and head and left him unconscious. thinking he was dead, The trouble, Smith said, was caused by the arrest two weeks ago of James Roth, on a charge of ma licious mischief. when Roth is alleged to have killed some of Smiths chickens,
 The four men were arrested and placed in jail by officers who were summoned by neighbors after Smith had staggered home in a semi-con- scious condition and described his as- sailants.
