NICE PEOPLE WIN
 PRAISE OF CRITIC
Better Than Predecessors Tells Story Of Play
 At Jefferson

It was an enthusiastic and much pleased audience that greeted Nice Peo- pie" at its initial performance by the All-Star Jefferson players Monday night It proved conclusively that company can produce five successful plays in suc- eession. The fifth one is better than any of it's predecessors.
 Nice People" is pardox, showing that so-called nice people may often lack the essential qualities and that those moving in the highest social circles miss the best things in life because they lack the faculty of enjoying and appfeciating the really fine things.
 Theodora Gloucester Miss Kathleen Comegys), better known to her coterie of young spendthrifts as Teddy, has be- come her fathers manageable daugh- ter and insists upon exercising what she terms as her freedom. this freedom being the privilege of smoking, drinking and carousing around at all hours of the night with her young companions, as frivilous as she. Her father GA. S. By ron) suddenly realizes that something must be done to give her a serious out look on life and end her wild pursuit of pleasure.
 The Plot
 He forbids her to go with a party on midnight visit to notorious road house: and she sneaks off with a young boy who has an eye on her inheritance Morning comes, and so does scandal. The city Is full of reports, and her father insists upon her marrying the young man. When she refuses to marry Scot ty Wilbur (De Forest Dawley) and her father disowns her, the newcomer (John McFarlane) offers to help her. and to- gether, with the assistance and encour- aeement of Aunt Margaret Rainsford Miss Helen Ray) they return to the simple life. The transition from wild parties and midnight auto rides to chick ems and farm life is sudden one, but Teddy finds happiness in it. And just as she is about to marry the young hero of the farm-life venture and set tie down to comparative poverty, her father shows up and assures her that she can have her money and husband too. Miss Conway was at her best as the irresponsible Teddy. She has become a favorite with Birmingham audiences and has way of making whatever part she takes the star part. John McFarlane, as Billy Wade, the third visitor to the lit tie cottage, also carried away stellar hon. DTS. DeForest Dawley, as ScOtty Will bur, was effective as the erstwhile lover Of the fair Teddy and her millions. Rus sell Fillmore proved an admirable and clever member of the social set with which Teddy surrounded herself. Miss Elaine Davies, Miss Lanigan Manker Peter Buffers, Miss Helen Ray. A. s. Byron and George Westlake formed an able supporting cast.

AT LOEW'S BIJOU

The spirit of National Vaudeville Association Week predominates the bill now showing at Loew's Bijou the. atre and brings an enjoyment that would not otherwise be obtained.

 AT THE LYRIC
 This week is \. V. A. week through out the United States, and all over the country, vaudeville artists and their audiences are in some fashion 0bserv- ing this annual memorial of the good work done by the National Vaudeville Artists.
 Perhaps it was because of this that actors on the bill at the Lyric this week appear 30 enthusiastic about their work. From start to finish, every actor showed plainly he was exerting all efforts to win the respect and applause of the audience, and, in large measure, all succeeded. It was apparent that the entire audience fell in with the spirit and gave them their confidence far more readily than usual.
 Something different in the line of blackface comedian acts was presented by John SwOr and Frank s. .Conroy in The Pleasure Smokers" With a setting of a Chinese opium den, these two comedians appeared in an act that won round after round of laughter and applause.
 Following them, and closing the bill, was a song and dance revue. Helen Higgins and Edith Blossom appeared in songs and dances with Horace Bent ley as accompanist.
 Jeanette Childs is presented in ''The Joy Girl" Solo acts are additionally hard, for no respite is given the artist, but from start to finish she exhibited marke liability. Through a series of songs, dances and humorous skits she won the whole-hearted approval of the audience.
 More departure from set rules is seen in the swinging ring act by Jean and Val Jean. They have named their act. "Oh Charlie" and by using the makeup of Charlie Chaplin they made an opening for a bit of humor, thus avoiding the tediousness that frequently accompanies acts of this kind. Nevins and Gordon appear in "Horse Sense" This comedy skit was writ ten by Billy Wells, and proved a rapid fire combinationof witty dialogue and humorous acting.
 Clown Night was observed by the various artists at the close of the reg ular bill. Different players appeared in some recognized type different from that used in the show.

SPECIFIES REASONS FOR SMITH VICTORY
Says Strength Is Greatest in the
 Most Doubtful States

New York, June 6.--Ten reasons why the delegates to the democratic national convention should nominate Governor Alfred F.. Smith for presi dent as the man most likely to carr, New York and other pivotal statei and be elected are specified by Frank. lin D. Roosevelt. chairman of the New York state Smith committee, in a let ter sent to each delegate and 10 theii altcrnatcs.
 Among the reasons given were:
 His strength is greatest in the doubtful states where strength is most needed"
 One reason for his strength is his following among independent voters. He has been constantly endorsed by the great nonpartisan organizations in New York"
 He is an expert on the affairs of government, with an experience un- equaled by that of any man alive"
 He has at once the undivided sup port of labor and the confidence of business men,
 Above every other executive in America, he has stood for fearless enforcement of the law. Though per- sonally believing that the Nolstead act should be amended, he served notice on every peace officer Of the state. holding him to strict accountability for enforcement of the law"

FARMERS PROFIT FROM
 FEDERAL LAND BANK
A General Upbuilding Of the Rural Communities Has Resulted From
 Banking Institution

l Columbia, s, C, June GA gen eral upbuilding of the rural com
 munities'' has resulted, and the
 farmer is being taught "a much ] needed lesson in regulating his 1 business through operation of tho federal land bank in the Columbia district, according to l.. I. Guion acting president of the bank.
 ,-. Heretofore the farmer has tended to let obligations drift from year to year, but he now realizes that he is a member of great cooperative as- sociation and that he has obligations to the association" Mir. Guion said. Interest and amortization payments must be met promptly, as only in this way may he and his fellow farmers enjoy it's advantages"
 Amounts of loans in North Caro- lima. South Carolina, Georgia and Florida total s7S,S46,S74. Of this amount, NIT. Guion said. loans have been cancelled with total principal and interest of si6.Sal,1S0.
 " It is almost impossible 10 tell how many farmers have been able 10 buy farms since the federal land bank was established" the speaker con- tinued It has been more of a ques- ton Of keeping the farmer on his feet rather than helping the farmer buy a farm.
 The standard Of living probably would drop, in the average case, for one or more years while the farmer is paying for his farm and purchas- ing machinery, but would rise eyentu- ally to above the level Of the tenant farmer" the acting president stated, discussing the standard of living Of the landowning farmer.
 Mir. Gulon expressed belief that while establishment of the bank has not decreased the numbers of farm CTS who mortgage their crops in ad- vance to buy supplies, he thinks the bank has, through extension of credit to a community, been instrumental in effecting improvements which have increased the tax valuations of land with resultant additional revenue for schools. Thus, in a way. he said, better educational opportunities have been afforded farmers children.

 The money brought into a country by tourist trade is usually spoken Of vaguely as part Of the invisible trade balance" but experts in Sweden are now becoming interested in estimat- Ing these expenditures per capita. Lieut.. T. Segerstrsle, director Of the Swedish Traffic Association, has com puted the average expenditure within Sweden by tourists as about tt00 for each person.
