"Flattery Is like champagne-de- lightful while taking, but sickening in its after effect" Thus does Norma Talmadge tho bewitching little mo tion picture star, describe that gen tie art whose use has been in vogue ever since man could speak and won-- an would listen.
 ''Flattery has toppled thrones. changed history, separated thousands of happy couples, peopled the under world and divided kingdoms" con tinues Miss Talmadge. Nor is 1t an art exclusively used by mere man. Women have used it with telling eff feet. as witness the willy Cleopatra and other professional royal flat terers" In the case of flattery we can reverse Klpling's famous lines "The female of the species is more deadly than the male"-a man capa- ble of saying pretty things in pleas ing way can easily mould to his de- sire most any susceptible woman or girl"
 And it is this same theme that makes "Yes or No?" Miss Talmadge's s latest photoplay, a First National at traction. instructive as well as en- tertaining. In 1t the audience is shown the male flatterer at his dead ly work both in the home of wealth and the humber tenement-it shows the male vamp in evening clothes and the pursurer in livery-both deadly and dangerous.

VIENNA IS SCENE OF BLOSSOM TIME
Score Of 0peratta Coming To Jefferson Of Schubert'S
 Own Melodies

The coming of that lovely oper- etta, Blossom Time,", to the Jeffer- son Thursday. Friday and Saturday, Schubert, is of great interest to Bir- mingham music lovers, for the score Is Schubert's own melodies.
 All the scenes of this most charm ing musical play of a generation. are laid in Vienna in perhaps its most picturesque epoch. Shortly after the death of Schubert there was published a novel based on an authentic episode of his life. Out of this material eventually came a highly successful musical play from the pens of Willner and Reichert, in which many of the melodies from his larger works and numerous Of his love songs were embodied. Sig mund Romberg conceived the idea of translating this work originally entitled 'Drei Maldel Haus" into an operetta for America, the score of which should be largely if not en- tirely taken from the gems of Schu- bert's various compositions. Doro- thy Donnelly, one of our best libret- lists, did the book. This was three years ago, Blossom Time" for over two years in New York was moved from theatre to theatre, and at one time had two companies playing si- multaneously in New York, thing which had never been done before.
 As joseph Leslie, in the Norfolk, Virginia. Pilot, said For the love of all that's beautiful, don't miss Blossom Time" Such a chance as this may never come your way again at any time soon-so take his advice, and order your seats now so as to secure the best locations.

 Lavish Comment

Fresh from triumphs in many other cities in the United States the William Wade Hinshaw Opera com pany will present "Cosi fan Tutte," Mozart's opera comique in Birming- ham Thursday night.
 Critics in all cities. in which the organization has appeared, have been almost lavish in their praise of "Cosi fan Tutte," not only for it's being presentation of Mozart at his best, but for the ideal arrange ment of voices making it truly in- terpretive of the great composer. Irene Williams, the celebrated Amer ican prima donna, has been accorded especial praise for her work, as has Judson House, who has the tenor role Of the opera.
 The presentation of "Cosi fan Tutte" in Birmingham is to be by the drill corps of Cyrene Com mandry, Knights Templar, and is the second attraction of the season under the bodys auspicies. The Masonic auditorium will be the place of presentation, with the performance starting at S:15.
