FOUNDED zoosHevusm


Nikolai Lenine,f lawyer, pamphlet
eer, and finally dictator of all Rus
sia, was the organizer and chief ex-
ponent of the movement which be-
came known as Bolshevism, and
which he characterized as "the great
experiment; the dictatorship of the
Proletariat"
The career of this short, plump.
bald-headed little man. who turned
Russia topsy turvy and probably as
mnch influenced the esher ra.sons of
the world as any other man of the
country, was full of adventure from
his boyhood. He was a revolution
ist at school. at the academy at
his university. and ever afterward.
Was Regular Rebel
Lenine's real name was Cladimir
Hitch Ullanoff. He was born April
"a, 1870 in the town of Simzrsk
of bourgeois family with a pro
nounced Tartar strain, reflecting in
Lenine's high cheek bones and slight
ly slanting. cynical eyes. His fa-
ther was responsible master at a
communal school at Simbirsk and
was very well known among the
school teachers of his district Le-
nine himself attended the high school
at Simbrisk. and by strange CO.
incidence his principal was the ia
ther of Alexander Kerensky. whom
Lenine afterward overthrow to be-
come Premier of Russia.
The spirit of revolution against the
Car entered into practically every
Russian school in those days, and
Lenine. with some of his compan-
ions. is said to have smuggled the
works of Karl Marx on socialism in
to the school and to have read them
with all the secret fear of discovery
that American school boys have of
being caught with a dime novel hid
den behind their Biographies. NJ.
Kerensky reported that Lenine was
a studious pupil, introspective in his
thoughts and shy in his relations
with his schoolmates. When Lenine
Ulianoff. was sentenced to death
and hanged for an attempt upon the
life of Car Alexander ILL.,
Desire Of His Life
Lenine himself never was a mem
ber of any terroristic organization,
but desire to avenge his brothers
death is said to have ruled his life.
He spent more time. however. in
revolutionary propaganda among the
Petrograd workmen than at his stu
dies. He was arrested, served 2
long term of Imprisonment, and then
was deported to Siberia. During
this period he wrote several books
IN political economy. which gave
him fame as the real exponent of
the MARKHAM theory While in 81
IBERIA he adopted his penname, "Ni-
kolai Lenine." by which he rose to
world notoriety. He is said to have
chosen 1t because of his deep feel
ing over the massacre of several
hundred miners in the Lena gold
fields by Czarist troops.
journalistic Efforts
In 1901 Lenine finished his term
of deportation in Siberia and emf
grated to Switzerland. where, togeth-
er with two of his friends, Martoff
and Plankhanoff. he published a
newspaper entitled "The Spark" de-
voted to revolutionary propaganda in
Russia. He wandered from Switzer-
land to Germany, to England and to
France. eking out a simple existence
by journalistic efforts, or was sup
ported by wealthier revolutionaries.
Up to 1904 Lenine had worked along
general MARKHAM lines, but in that

MARY PICKFORD IN
 ROMANCE OF SPAIN
Comes To The Strand Monday
 In Popular Picture

The Strand announces for it's at traction starting Monday, Mary Pick ford in 'Rosita," a picture that will get its first southern premier showing at the Strand Monday. Rosita, was selected nationally by popular vote by public and critics. as one of the best 10 pictures made in the year 1923, and Birmingham motion picture follow CTS will realize the value of this at. traction, as well as have an oppor- tunity of passing their opinion on this picture by visiting the Strand.
 Forty-six complete structures were erected at the Pickford- Fairbanks stu dios, exclusive of draperies and flat backings also used. The Spanish Toledo, Spain, built on specially con structed hill at the studio, covers an area of more than one square acre. The camera angles, however, embrace an area of five square acres. The cathedral interior is 300 feet long, of massive construction with gigantic pill lars and archways, presenting one of the most impressive sets ever built for photoplay.
 The interior settings of the King $ palace and Rosita's villa are structures of palatial grandeur, reflecing the glories of early Spanish and Moorish architecture. Grand staircases and balconies, of solid construction, with completely finished hardwood floors, clearly shows the lavish scale on which "Rosita' was produced. Any one of these interior sets would have been adequate for the background to

GOOD MORNING,
 DEARE,' COMING
Big Musical Comedy Will Be
 At Jefferson Theatre " Next Week &

k Good Morning, Dearie,' which ran for over 400 nights at the Globe the atre, New York, will be seen here next week at the Jefferson theatre.
 When a musical comedy has been backed up by as much favorable critical comment as this one received, and when capacity audiences have laughed hear til yover it's comedy and have left the theatre declaring it to be delight fully romantic story with musical sem- bellishments, expectations naturally are high in advance of its coming. Good Morning, Dearie," is a mixture of mus sic, comedy and dancing that is not easy to classify. E
 There. is plenty of local coloring in Good Morning, Dearie," the work room of the Toddle Shop, where the sewing girls ply their trade a glimpse of Chinatown; Hell's Bells Dance Hall, resort of the slums. and a, really elaborate exterior at the close of the play, the terrace of palatial country home.
 Birmingham will see the original production intact, as this organization is the only one playing this great pop ular success in American thedtres. The scenery, costumes and effects are trans ported in two extra sized baggage cars, and it requires a small army of stage hands to handle it behind the scenes. The company numbers over 75 and owing to the. magnitude of the whole enterprise it is a most expensive thing to maintain. That is the principal req son why it is impossible to play many of the smaller stands and why very few cities of the size of Birmingham will be played t%
 The original cost of big musical show like ''Good Morning, Dearie," is, Of course. enormous, and on top of that, the upkeep must be reckoned. During the time that Good Morning, Dearie, ' has been playing the wardrobe depart ment has purchased 800 pairs of danc- ing slippers, and the chorus ladies have been equipped with 7,200 pairs of silk stockings.

CHANGE NRULES
 HELPS.GAGGlyG'
Hereafter The Tariff Will Lose
 Its Place As A Political

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The H. beralization of the rules governing pro- cedure of the House of Represents tives, made possible by a coalition com posed of democrats and independent" republicans, will have two primary ef- fleets, it is pointed out today.
 In the first place, it will be impos- sible for the controlling party. whether it be a democratic or republican, to '.gag" the minority. In the second place, it will make the House as de liberative" as the Senate, and as diff cult, when highly controversial legisla- tion is at stake, under pressure of those demanding nasty action.
 Tariff No Longer Issue
 As far as the tariff is concerned, it unless the rules are changed
 Representative Finis Garrett of Tennessee, leader of the democratic minority, having his mind centered on what he regards as the necessity of bringing about drastic changes in the Mellon tax reduction scheme, declared to your correspondent that the defeat of the rule making out of orders more than certain limited number of amendments to revenue measures, was necessary.
 When asked how without such rule democrats, when restored to power, would be able to frame and enact a tariff bill in accordance with their ideas, he declared that ''the garment must be cut to fit definite body" " It was his meaning that any rule hereafter adapted must apply only in a specific emergency. Democrats, it is evident, are with republicans in desir- ing that the tariff remain what is termed frequently a football of Con gress.
 Brings Factions To Front
 Any financial bill is long involved. By its very nature it is calculated to bring to the front the differences en- tertained by every member of the house. The members of the House, on the average, attended important sessions to ing the number of amendments that may be offered, it is safe to say that each member will have, on the aver the other political. In addition, there will be the usual number of frivolous ol facetious amendments. amendments offered to future financial measures in the House will approxi- .lInoUEp 6Iqs!g sq LILA II 'OOO'I sastu If not impossible, to put through an- other tariff bill, without a rule, it is indicated. Certainly, the House, some of its members contend, will require as long a time for final action as the Senate.
 Two Edged Sword The change in the rules whereby 15O signatures may discharge a committee from the consideration of a bill is like wise two-edged sword, in the opinion of some members. Last year, it was possible for the chairman of the rules committee to pre- vent a majority disposing of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals, and to prevent action on resolution authoriz-

 Republicans Play Politics
 It is known that many republicans aware of the lack of serious intention in certain bills aimed at conditions 1T the south, or aware that it is neces sary that the south be permitted to con tinue to control such conditions, would be willing to strangle such legislation in committee room where they are not necessarily put on record.
 Such republican members, however would not be willing to stand in the open and oppose such legislation when they are aware that such opposition would be cited in their districts as a reason why they should be retired from office.
 The changes in the rules will prob. ably result in the liberalization of the Mellon bill both as concerns its rates and its lack of provision for the bonus. As to whether or not the Presi- dent would veto the measure thus "liberalized' and eliminate the hope of tax reduction, is great question to- day.
 At any rate. the administration re- publicans, declaring themselves in a minority as against majority "coali- tion" are evidently preparing to wash their hands of responsibility.
