CARILLO ULAR
 r FAVORITE IN CITY
Well Known Actor Opens Monday At Jefferson
 In "Magnolia
Alfred 10. Aarons. Inc, will preaent

Alfred F. Aarons, Inc, will present Leo Carrillo in "Magnolia," an Amer ican comedy by Booth Harrington at the Jefferson tonight, Tuesday night and Tuesday matinee. This is surely genuinely worth while event in local theatrical season. Mr. Carrillo is easily the most popular of the younger stars before the American public today Booth Tarkington as a playwright and novelist needs TO introduction. It was in "LombardL Ltd.," that Mir. Carrillo won his way into the affections of the public. MT. Tarkington's achievements include such plays as Clarence" "The Man from Home.' Monsieur Beaucaire." '" and "Penrod." Magnolia" is color full comedy of southern life in three acts with the scenes laid on a Mis- sissippi plantation and in Natchez gambling house in the early forties. You see the aristocratic old southern planters in the days long before the Civil war, you hear the darkies sing ing as they come from the cotton fields, you are introduced to the gam ing rooms where the young blades or the town congregate and through out it all runs an appealing love story There is an abundance of laughter in store and there are mo- ments of dramatic intensity MT. Carrillo is seen first as mild man. HtIeu youth WnO comes 10 n1S an- cestral halls from the guardianship of Quaker uncle in Philadelphia, but it is not long before he gains a reputation as the most desperate man among those who make their living in the card rooms of the Mississippi river steamboats. At the end he be- comes respected citizen and wins the heart of the little girl who had never forgotten him. Here is a real American play by an established American authN and with an Amer ican star who means something. AL fred E. Aarons, Inc, has supplied a supporting company of exceptional merit.
 Leo Carrillio endeared himself to the Birmingham theatre going public in 'Lombardi, Ltd.," In Magnolia the new comedy of southern life, Car rlilio will dispense with the dialect With which he has so long been iden- tlfled. In Lombardi Ltd, it will be recalled, he was seen as an Italian. In Magnolia he is a Mississippian, but brought up by a Quaker uncle in California.

"The word Americanism has been
