THEATERS
GREAT AVALANCHE SCENE
IN ZANE GREY Picture

Speaking Of screen thrillsl
There's one that ought to leave
lifelong impression on everyone who
sees it down at the D & R theater
right now. It's the avalanche scene
in the Zane Grey Paramount picture
"Wanderer Of the Wasteland," which
opened at the D & R yesterday and
viii remain until Saturday. Irwin
What directed the production, which
was adapted from the novel Of the
same name BY George G. Hull and
Victor Irwin.
It all comes about when one Of the
characters in the picture, who lives
with his wife alone in the desert, gets
| it into his head that their daughter,
Ruth, played BY Billie Dove, who is
teaching school in a far distant town,
is not his daughter. In fit of anger
in the middle Of the night he goes TO
the top Of the slope behind their shack
and starts throwing bolders down on
to the shanty. The larger rocks carry
smaller ones with them and start an
avalanche that is bear for realism.
You've never seen anything quite like
it before on the screen. AS the mad
man stands on the edge Of the cliff
hurting over the rocks, his foot slips
and he hurtles down the precipice and
is buried with the cabin under the
mass.
Jack Holt, in the role Of Adam
Larey, has witnessed the whole thing,
powerless to do anything. He leaves
the desert and looks up the unfortu-
nate pairs daughter and tells her
Everything and-but why 60 farther,
it would only be to spoil an evening
of delightful entertainment for you.
If you've read Zane Grey's book,
you'll want to see the picture. But
whether you've read the book or not,
you'll go see the production anyway,
when we tell you that the picture is
done entirely in color. And when we
say entirely, we mean just that.

ELLIOTT Dexter IN THE
HAVOC SHOW At GRAND

To the many picture fans who have
enjoyed his work on the screen the
announcement that Elliott Dexter il
to- be seen here in the spoken drama
viii be most welcome. No more pop
ular film actor has emenated from
Hollywood than Dexter and he has
played a wide variety of important
roles that have brought him conspic-
uously before the thousands who pat
ronize the movies. He has appeared
in such productions as "The Squaw
Man." Don't Change Your Husband"
"Anatol," FLAMING YOUTH" Common
Law" "Only Thirty Eight" and doz-
en- others and has just completed
'aThe Fast Set," William DeMille's
screen version of Spring House
Cleaning" Mr.. Elliott also has an
enviable reputation on the spoken
stage and has been anxious for some
time to return for a short tour. He
has been waiting for the right play
and has found it in the Havoc" by
E. S. Sheldon, which served Henry
Miller for a season or two and proved
a tremendous success in the east. This
play presents the eternal triangle
from an entirely new angle and the
story is INCREASINGLY absorbing. The
part assigned to Mr.. Dexter is one
of strildngly outstanding possibilities
and win appeal particularly to his
hosts Of followers on the screen. The
story has to do with the intimate
affairs Of a husband and wife, who
are harboring under their roof a fan
cifuIly philosophic young man whose
ideas on the question of love, mar
rage, divorce and laws in general
create a series of domestic compli-
cations that require mastery diplom-
acy in the process of their disentangle-
ment. Mr.. Dexter, appearing as the
husband, reveals to a very marked de-
gree those big appealing qualities that
made him such a pronounced success
in the spoken drama before the vogue
of pictures. Mr.. Dexter has appeared
under the Charles Frohman, David
Belasco, Henry Miller arrangements.
The engagement here will be for
Thursday, October 30, at the Grand.

the action Is motiyated BY a fine man
who resorts to a clever and astonish-
ing method Of saving his wife from
undesirable friends and Of curing her
infafuation for a notorious '.great
lover" From start to finish the pic
ture Is packed with sparkling humor
and entertaining action.
Mr.. de Miles shrewd direction and
def way of treating the various sit
uations go a long way toward lifting
this photoplay into the ranks Of the
super-films. With his usual knaek
of picking Just the right people for
the respective roles, he has assembled
a cast, every member of which gives
an excellent performance. Betty Comp
son is the foolish wife; Elliott Dexter
the Naturalization; Adolphe Menjou
the philanderer; and Zazu Pitts, the
social outcast, who becomes the amaz-
ing instrument that brings the erring
wife to her senses.

Of films to see if one is looking for

MINES ASSUMING
 FULL TIME BASIS
Coal Production For Au- gust To Show Decided
 Increase

Many coal mines in Alabama that have been operating from three days per week as a minimum and five days as a maximum, have resumed opera tions six full days according to in- formation reaching the offices of the Alabama Mining Institute Wednesday. This information, which accompanied the statement that prodUAtion for Au- gust would show decided increase, was gratifying to those associated with the institute. The chart maintained at the offices show that the low point was reached in production July 26, and from that time until now there has been steady climb upwards towards figures that are more in keeping with Alabama records. The figures for the latter week of August have not been received, officials said, but sufficient information is at hand to warrant the statement that the months production was much improved.
 The most conservative brokers in Bir- mingham were optimistic Wednesday over the change that has taken place and while they are inclined to be eau tious in expressing opinions, none were found but what stated that the low tide had been passed and the industry going forward at gratifying rate.

SeabOard Switches Contract To
 Virginia Fields

All of the railroads entering Bir- mingham have closed their contract for tuel during the next F months and all stood by Birmingham except the Sea boavd Air Line. Although this com pany did give the Pratt Fuel corpora- tion contract, it was stated here Wed nesday that the district suffered loss when the Seaboard, at the last hour, switched its principal business to the virginia fields. It was explained that the long haul from Birmingham to all points on the line as compared to the Virginia field was sufficient to turn the trade. The company, it was stated, has been accustomed to buy all of it's re- quirement here, except small tonnages. ThereR eRwas considerable regret express ed that the Seaboard found it profit able to take Virginia coal rather than the Alabama product.
