No Action Taken Toward Consolidation Of Two
 Columbia Colleges

SELMA. Ala, Oct. 1S.-(Special Leased Wire.-The Synod of the Ala bama Presbyterian church in session here continued it's Wednesday after noon meeting well into the evening Debate on the question of the absorb tion or alrnalgamation of the two colleges, the Union and the Colum- bian. both located at Columbia. or the removal of the Columbian to another place, was the local point of the animated and, at times heated, controversy. The Synod finally de- cided to leave to the trustees of the Columbian university the job of un- tying the gordian knot without sug- gestion or instruction from the Synod
 To Mrs. w. E, Kinds, president of the Alabama Synodical, was accorded the distinction of being the first bate on the floor of the Synod This unique distinction resulted after vote of the synod giving Mrs. Hinds this pioneership in female leadership to which there was only one adverse vote. Mrs. Hinds occupied the atten- tion of the synod for 30 minutes giv- ing report of the Synodical for the past 12 months Sixty-seven thou sands dollars. she stated, were raised by Alabama women's efforts, alone. The dormitory of the orphans home at Talladega has been refurnished and reconstructed.
 The members of the Synod listened to the little womans plea for equity. if not equal rights, in the church work of elevating humanity and the world. Mrs. Hinds remarks were ap- plauded at their conclusion. The final day of the synod Thursday, had its storm center around the organiza- tion and conduct of the community life program under the auspicies of the Sunday school council of religious education on which the Alabama

The Boyd and Linderman Shows, which are parked at Ninth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, north, continue to draw thousands of spec tators. The rain butted in on the merry makers Wednesday, but with the coming of sunshine Thursday streams of amusement seekers start ed for the grounds. and early in the afternoon the 20 attractions were playing to capacity The shows are the same ones that entertained the Shriners at their recent national convention in Washington, D. C., and the Birmingham citizens who have gone out have been strong in their praises of the attractions.
 This is one carnival attraction that is different. It carries all the rldes known to the amusement world, has diving girls, a great mystery show, performing wild beasts and many other attractions to thrill pleasure seekers. The shows will continue throughout the week, giving after to go to the Service Mems club for the outfitting of club rooms in the old postoffice building.
 Captain Harry E. Smith, who was responsible for bringing the shows here, stated Thursday that if the sunshine kept up for the remainder of the week that a new attendance record would be hung up by the shows management this in spite of rain keeping people away Wednes- day.

 Mae Follis and Nat Leroy offer "Eccentricities," a well named skit. It introduces some clever steps, a good comedian and pretty girl and some better than usual dance steps.

WILD ANIMAL ACTS FEATURE OF CIRCUS
RingIing- -Barnum Show Has Pick Of European
 ThriIIerS

Two complete herds of baby ele- phant actors, 50 additional trained horses, Is polar bears, 22 tigers, !4 black named African lions IF leop- ards, eight black bruins and six Si- berian bears, five troupes of seals. and many smaller animals are in cluded in the gigantic trained an imal show that has been bought by the Ringing Brothers, transported to America and joined to their al- ready mammoth circus.
 These, added to the acts of like character exhibited by the famous showmen in 1922, constitute far and away the biggest Aggregation of the kind ever assembled, Last season ; wild animal numbers were intro- duced with the idea of ascertaining the public taste. So favorably were they received that the Ringlings have now tripled the displays of this kind and increased the trained horse members to a total of 200 equine performers.
 The big wild animal displays in- clude feats never before presented in America. Elephants saddled with steel nets are ridden. Horses with mailed-covers are mounted by splen- didly trained tigers, who ride them around the steel encircled arenas. Zebras, long thought to be unbreak- dD1CY nave Dctn taught lO and do many of the tricks heretofore performed only by horses. Leopards jump through hoops. allow their in- trepId trainers to place their hands, feet and heads in their mouths, or submit to harness and are driven like dogs
 In addition to the animals pre- sented in the steel enclosures there are the great herds of trained ele- plants. Thirty of the giant thes- plans are grouped in one display. Others perform from the tops of lofty pedestals. Some work along the hippodrome track, kicking foot balls as they circle it. a trick here tofore performed only inside the rings. Five troupes of seals, Loyal s famous trained dogs, Mime. Bradna' s act beautiful" with scores of dogs and doves, two dozen performing monkeys, 100 trained stallions and shetland ponies, many menage and high school horses, including Nor man stallicns-these give some idea of the enormous proportions of the trained animal sections of the circus program. None of the wild animals are from the famous Ringliny Brothers and Barnum X Bailey com bined menagerie. This geological ex- hibit made larger than ever before. is entirely apart from the perform ing animals The latter are kept in a separate section of the circus grounds and travel in the specially designed dens in which they were brought across the Atlantic
 Aside from the trained animal dis piays the circus program embraces stupendous opening pageant and the thrills provided by more than TOO men and women performers. Exhi- bitions will be given here Wednes- day, October 24

THE FOOL' HAILED. AS GEM OF STAGE
PoIIoCk's New Play Opens Week Monday At The
 Jefferson

Charming Pollock's new play, "The Fool" which Is described as having one of the most daring and uncon- ventional themes found in modern drama, will be presented by the Selwyns at the Jefferson all week beginning Monday. october 22, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday with a special company organized for this tour.
 The hero of this extraordinary play of vital import is Q young minister of the gospel who losing his pulpit in New York because of his outspoken contempt for those behind social in- Justices, turns to philanthropic work. His old friends, even the young wom- en betrothed to him, cast him aside, and sohe of the workers whose cause he champions, suspect and abuse him, but his faith appears to work mira cles and his friendliness brings re- wards that make him feel that he is far from being the fool and failure the world calls him. His peace of mind is the triumph of faith and good works over hypocrisy and mate rialism. There is big mob scene at the end of the third act, which proves the hero's spiritual power. This is the climax of an unusual drama, which ran for more than a year in New York and six months in Boston It was the sensational success in the east

 of this picture.
 But 1t is the story itself which stands out from these massive set tings, story of hereditary hate and desire for vengeance which Is dissi- pated by the valor of a man upon whom humiliation in every form Is visited, and turns to an exalted love which wipes out a long existing feud of two noble families. It would re- quire columns to describe the rush of incident. of physical and emo tional conflict through which this transition is accomplished. Mob scenes, thrilling sword fights. TO- mance and political intrigue figure in a succession of situations in nat ural and logical sequence-and dom mating it all is Norma Talmadge.
 And opposite her. Conway Tearle is the brave and noble de Vrieac, de- spised by Yoelaud de BreuX when brought into her house by her brother, Conte de la Roche. his enemy, after sacrificing himself for his fiance and becoming the slave ot la Roche.
 The action of the play, already moving rapidly, is given impetus with the entrance of Wallace Beery, as the Due de Tours. cruel profligate whose pursuit of Yoeland brings the play to an effective climax.
