 heart
 And rue it till he dies"

More Than A Hundred Young- sters To Be Given Ride Around Birmingham On Company's Birthday Anni- VerSary

Mother" Ramsey, known and loved by all Birmingham, and the hundred or more children at the Mercy home under her care will be the guests at a birthday party Thursday afternoon, when they will be, given an auto. mobile ride through the streets of the city in the cabs of Whitman's s Yellow Cab company, according to announcement Saturday by P. Y. | Whitman, president.
 The Yellow Cab fleet, which has grown to it's present size from a starting unit of six meter cabs placed yin operation on December IS, 1922. will go to the Mercy home at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. At 3:15 o'clock the children will parade through the downtown streets, en- toying music of band which will head the procession.
 Mother Ramsey was delighted when I called her and told of the Yellow Cab company's plans for an outing for the children Thursday aft ernoon," declared MT. Whitman Sat urday.
 Plans for a striking celebration of Yellow Cabs first birthday anniver sary in Birmingham Thursday also include the giving away of 1000 baby Yellow Cabs, which endeared them selves to every youngster in Bir- mingham when they made their ap- pearance simultaneously with the grown-up "Yellows" last December 13. MT. Whitman's plan Is to give every person who presents a meter receipt to the amount of $1 from a Yellow Cab a baby cab, to be ob- tained either from the Yellow Cab driver or from the main office at 212S Fifth avenue, north.
 We feel proud of our growth dur ing the year of Yellow Cabs in Bir- mingham which. will close December l3, 1923, made possible by the pat ronage and confidence of the Bir- mingham public" said MT. Whitman. Our cabs are driven by picked men, trained to know what the public wants In courtesy and efficient service.
 Another important asset is that the Yellow Cab company is the only taxicab organization in Birmingham

The usual games and frolics of children were impossible for me. I spent hours every day in corrective exercises, until finally I conquered my weakness and now 1 no longer have to pay heed to it.
 As soon as I was strong enough I took up swimming and it has done wonders for my general health and strength. 1 am never tired, for my muscles are hard and my wind is good. I am as brown as the pro- verbal berry (who ever saw a brown berry?) 1 can spend hours in the water and come out and play tag on the beach.
 Of course I play golf and tennis and ride a little, but the one thing I depend on most to keep me in working. condition is swimming.
 But don't let me forget dancing. That is excellent exercise, my phy- sician advises me, and I practice it assiduously. It is more strenuous, as we'll as more pleasant, than walk ing. Pedometers have registered nearly 20 miles in an evening have spent on the dance floor.
 Dancing is important to the mo- ton picture actresses for the aid it gives in development of grace and deportment, too.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-09


 Swimming is the one sport that uses all the muscles, or most all, oe the body. But that isn't the reason 1 chose it as the exercise to keep me fit I chose it because I like it.
 Most all of my spare time is spent on the beach or in the water. I can drive to the Santa Monica Beach club in half an hour or so and three or four times week I spend couple of hours on the sand. Recently I have taken up beach golf, a game played with a. tennis ball and q hockey stick. You lay out your own course on the beach, using buried tin cans for holes. Its vogues has spread since I introduced 1t here on the Pacific coast until now most everyone is playing it.
 Systematic exercise has done great deal for me. Nhen I was very little girl I had trouble with my spine, trouble that kept me out of school most of the time. I spen. many weeks each year in a wheel chair. And when I first went into pictures nine years ago q was only 12 then) l had to use all my will power to hold myself erect and con ceal a condition that was almost 8 deformty.

by William Dudley Pelley, is the

strangely alike in a world of gloom
and extremely unlike in the expert
ences of growing into manhood and
womanhood, are the central figures.
The girl is a waif of unknown par
entage, rescued from an orphan
asylum by a woman of comparative
wealth, who turns her into a crea-
ture of beauty and culture. The boy
is the son of a man who stops read
ing the Bible to beat his wife, and
who fiogs the child numerically for
attending a Sunday school picnic and
talking to one of those products of the
devil-a girl.
Through these two separate and envel-
oping fogs of an unkind fate the boy
and the girl grow up, the former with
but a haZy memory of a pair of SYM
pathetic eyes. which looked with under
standing upon him on that day when
he was dragged in humiliation from the
picnic by an irate parent, and the lat
: ter with a vision of a mysterious youth
who has written a poem to girl with
out d name. Two rather unnecessary
stories within the story are developed.
one concerning the sister OF the boy, and
the other an interlude of unfortunate
marriage between the boy and a worker
in his factory.
Then comes the great war with its
paradox of solving some problems while
creating others, and in far-of Siberia
the girl and the boy meet and the fogs
roll away.
An Aesop's Fable, 1.-THE Pace That
Kills" affords amusement. and an Ur-
ban Classic of the Rowing Thomas

RIALTO-"The Spoilers"

'"The' Spoilers" that vivid drama of
the Klondike gold rush which has
, held its own as the most popular
novel from the pen of Rex Beach,
was a success on the stage, with
James Macarthur in the leading role,
and was first pictured a number of
years ago by Col. Selig, is the feature
at the Rialto Theater this week.
This excellent picture of typically
american struggles in those pioneer
days of gold digging suggests by it's
very antitheSiS of motif and develop
ment, comparison with another film
shown at that theater recently. a
story of admittedly decadent nobility
of Europe. Packed houses witnessed
both pictures and duel was the
outstanding climax in both; yet one
was an inspiring story of men and
women of rough environment, seek
ing only for square deal, and the
other was the story of social leeches,
living constantly on the bias to the
normal state of things and literally
shaken into acting properly by a
gigantic war over which they were
helpless to exercise control.
In the case of European picture
the audience streaming out at the
close of a performance was heard
to express admiration only for the
scenery and beautiful interiors. After
THE Spoilers comments of admira-
ton were heard on every side for
the excellence of the cast, the man
ner in which the story was produced
and the way in which the bare
handed duel was fought. This duel
undoubtedly was one of the best
fights that has ever been shown on
the screen and it held the audience
In a tense grip:
Milton Sills was ideally placed as
Nilsson made an admirable sketch of
Cherry Malotte. the principal fem
mime character. Barbara Bedford was
pretty in the more thankless femi-
nine role. that of a rather dumb but
amiable heroine and Robert Edeson,
Ford Sterling and Louise Fazenda
were more than satisfying in the
skillfully handled bits of comedy
which gave the necessary light con-
trast to the fast and furious action
of the dramatic situations. Noah
Reery, Mitchell Lewis, Robert Mckim
and Sam de Grasse also were ARTISTIC
and consistent in villainous charac-
terizations.
Director Lambert Hillyer. who had
charge of this Goldwyn production,
is to be highly commended. The
spirit of Mr.. Beach's story is greatly
enhanced by the careful direction and
the accuracy of detail in the settings.
The only anchronism seems to be the
women's costumes, which are dis
tinctly 1923 models for this story of
"the fifties."
The musical score arranged by
George Wild for this feature is par
ticuIarly commendable. espec'ally the
Gricg music used during IT, tight.
The subsidiary features are in rest
ing and include a short comedy, screen
snapshots and the news reel.

attraction at the Columbia
When divorce loomed between the
mother and father OF June Parker
she and her young husband did every
thing possible to prevent the catas-
trophe, but to no avail. June's moth
er was determined. so the decree was
granted. To June 1t was an ill omen,
for she was desperately afraid that
it might some day happen to her and
Jim, and that their little son. Dick,
would suffer as she had suffered the
agonies of home full of wrangles
that theirs is a love of today, to-
morrow and forever. and scouts his
wife'S fears as foolish and unfounded.
They have a cozy, beautiful home.
They have each other. And they
have Dick.
Success" is next added to the
equation. and the scale balances on
the wrong side. The home that has
been a true love nest is too small
and unpretentious to hold Jim's bulg-
ing ambition. The palatial new man
sion is a vision of splendor a monu-
! ment't to Jims business achievements.
But companionship and love get lost
in the new surroundings and all of
June's efforts to. capture and hold
them fail as the great giant bears
down with his deadly weight.
In desperation June plays her last
card to stop a divorce and bring her
husband down to earth. He falls, of
course, but not with the thud which
he justly deserves.
Jane Novak is cast as June and
John Bowers as Jim Parker, with
James Corrigan as June's father, and
little five-year-old Philippe De Lacy
as Dick.
