 Thanksgiving Day is the season when everybody plans to enjoy day filled with wholesome pleasure, ana With the Thanksgiving football game in the afternoon. followed by de- licious Thanksgiving dinner. and then Glorious Geraldine" in beautiful concert in the evening, what more could one ask?
 Knowing the popularity of "Glori- ous Geraldine" the railroads have made rates to Birmingham for the Thanksgiving football game and the T'arrar concert. and this innovation has been taken advantage of by music levers in adjacent cities, Jasper, An niston, Huntsville, Sylacauga, Colum- bus, Miss; Selma, Tuscaloosa, and other cities, all of which will be largely represented on Thanksgiving night at the Farrar concert.
 sGera1dine Farrar's concert Thanks giving promises to duplicate the bril- liant concert she gave here two years ago, when every seat and standing room was sold out within two hours after the box office opened
 sMany feel that no other prima donna of the day is half so beautiful ss "Glorious Geraldine" none so magnetic, none so artistic and none SD Spectacular, and if Farrar sang no other selection than the "Habanera' (which she will use here as an encore on her Thanksgiving program) the concert would be worth while for she $ the greatest Carmen" the world has ever known.
 Make your plans for Thanksgiving 1923 to include the Farrar concert t Thanksgiving night and secure your observations at once, is the advice of the management of the All-Star Con- certs.

ID BIRMINGHAM music lovers are ID looking forward to the coming s
 of John Powell, who is going to give a matinee recital at the John Phillips High School auditorium De- cember l. 1923, under the auspices of the Birmingham Music Teachers as- sociation.
 Henry T. Finck, the veteran critic of the New York Evening Post, says of Powells playing:
 Tt is creative playing, marked hy the personality which to epicures is the main thing in a musical per formance. MT. Powell cast a spell over the audience, and the large and enthusiastic crowd kept him busy 'half an hour longer playing seven eXtras-all of which shows how the public adores Chopin when played by John Powell, super-pianist and com poser"
 Gilbert Gabriel of the New York Evening Sun said:
 MT. Powell is today among the most interesting musicians in Amer ica-certainly among the most searching of her native composers
 The Music Teachers association is being congratulated on securing John Powell, the famous interna- tional vtrtuoso, who has attained Eu- ropean and American honors both as pianist and as composer.

FUN AND THRILLS IN THE MONSTER
Coming Of Crane Wilbur To Jefferson Promises Treat
 To Theatregoers

To the theatregoer who spends his or her money in the theatre when ever some first-class Broadway at them an evening of ample fun and thrill, the announcement of the com ing of Crane Wilbur in Joseph NJ. Gaites' one and only production of Mir. Wilbur's own positively enthrall- ing spoken drama, The Monster" promises a real treat that they can not afford to overlook. MT. Gaites has only one company on the road playing "The Monster" the one head ed by the celebrated actor-author. and including Suzanne Caubet. That one and original company and pro- duction is coming to the Jefferson theatre Thanksgiving for three days. It will be seen and heard in this city just as it was played during it's sen sational runs in New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia.
 Monstrous as the plot and charac- .terization is in The Monster" with it's tremendous speed of action and amazing dramatic effects. there is also q marked undercurrent of com edy that frequently comes to the front, compelling spontaneous laugh ter in the audiences wherever it is played. It has earned and main tained the reputation of being the greatest of all exciting laugh thrillers.
 There is an added interest in the cast that appears in "The Monster" in the fact that the charming and tal- ented young leading woman, Su- zanne Caubet. is niece of the late and world famous Mme. Sarah BernI hardt, who personally trained her for a stage career, and with whom she appeared on the stage here and in Europe. Other members of the cast playing "The Monster" include Frank Darien, Walter James and Frederick Smith.

"FLAMING YOUTH"

A<h MAAN0 OC
 The author of Flaming Youth, whose identity is hidden under a nom de plume, at the same time he gave his story to the public, wrote that the story is based on actual happen ings that came under his observa- tion. He claims this story is one of fact, not of fiction,
 Baked in their efforts to learn the identity of the author of Blaming Youth" the First National film yer sion of which is to be shown at the Trianon next week, members of the all-star cast which interpreted the story cannot agree as to whether the book was written by a man or a woman.
 Boni &s Liverwright, publishers of Flaming Youth" declare that it would amount to a breach of con tract to reveal any authorship of the volume other than the nom de plume "Warner Fabian"
 Colleen Moore. who plays the role of Patricia in this picture, de- clares that the author is a woman and Elliott Dexter. who enacts the

role of Dr. Dobs, is equally as sure that a man is responsible.
 T will admit" says Miss Moore. that it is unusual for a woman to write in such a frank manner and especially when she exposes the in nermost thoughts and most intimate actions of her sisters. But, all the same, 1 believe the story has all the earmarks of having been written by a woman"
 Ut takes man to write so frankly without leaving clue to his identity" replies Dexter. The de- scriptions of the women are penned as a man would pen them-not as a woman would write. No woman would so frankly expose her own sex without attaching some alibi in their defense"

James Cruze, who produced "The Covered Wagon" now being present. ed at the Jefferson theatre, is an lndian-not by birth nor, necessarily, by inclination, but by adoption. In other words, he has been made a chief of the sArapahoe tribe, with the tribal name of Standing Bear. He is full-fledged brother of the tribe, with the right to sit at all councils.
 When MT. Cruze and "The Covered Wagon" company established Camp Cruze in southern Utah, where most of the picture was made, there were about 1000 Indians engaged. Among them were Arapahoes, Shoshones, Navajos and Crows. One old chief of the Arapahoes became very friend- ly with Mir. Cruze and finally asked the director if he would consent to be adopted into the tribe.
 The ceremony of the adoption was most impressive. The Indians were preternaturally solemn over the whole affair, and Mir. Cruze, realizing what it means to them, was deeply impressed. All the Arapahoes in camp were gathered in a circle for the rites, with the whites on the out side IS spectators.
