COMICAL STORY
 OF WILD HUBBY
Tries To Be Gay LOthario But Don't Know
 How

Only three chances remain for the atergoers of Birmingham to get them selves a real evening of laughter, pro- viding they have not yet had that de- lightful experience. The occasion is the production of "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," one. of the laugh successes of the decade, by the All-Star Jefferson players. A riot is the way everyone de scribes this comic story of young wife who wants her mild husband to be a gay Lothario.
 Next week theatergoers are promised another laugh treat with q great bundle of thrills thrown in when the All-Star players will present for the first time in Birmingham, 1.-The Mad Honey moon."
 And "The Mad Honeymoon, is more than just another laugh success, because Birmingham will see production by the man who originally s'aged the Broadway production witt the lead played by the creator of the role. Hal Briggs, who guides the destinies of the Jefferson plays, produced "The Mad Honeymoon" on Broadway. And with Mir. Briggs at the time was Hal Crane in the comedy lead. Mir. Crane will play the same role next week, ano this com bination, assisted by the clever All-Star players, insures a dramatic treat to the atergoerS.

Capitol's Film One Of SplendOr And Big
 Punches

The splendor of plantation life-a "circumstantial evidence" murder-sui- cide-a raging river flood-atmosphere of cheap San Francisco cafe and "a big daily newspapers police raid-a knife flung by Spanish dancer-a mo- tor racing over dangerous mountain roads-a gigantic forest fire.
 These are only a few of the big punches" which Thomas H. Ince has included in 'Her Reputation" his latest production dealing with the> power of the press. The story, an adaptation from the novel 'The Devils Own" by Brad ley King and Talbot Mundy, is that of a Southern beauty who, on her wedding day, becomes involved in a sensational scandal. Her adventures, when she runs away from home, have been screened with spectacular effect.
 May McAvoy is starred in the pro- duction while Lloyd Hughes heads the fine supporting cast which includes James Corrigan, Casson Ferguson, Eric Mayne, Winter Hall, Brinsley Shaw, Louise Lester, Eugenie Besserer, George Larkin, Jane Wray, not to forget Charlie" the monkey. John Griffith Wray directed.

HEALTH IN WIRELESS
Writer Points Out Civilization May
 Benefit By Radio Energy

Are the electric waves from our thou sands of transmission and broadcast ing stations capable of affecting our bodily health in any way, for good or evil? J. B. Lowdell, a contributor to Conquest (London) thinks that they may be, and believes that we may profit thereby. He recounts some of what he terms the benefits we may hope for" from this source. If we admit, argues Mir. Lowdell, that, in certain com plaints, electricity can be employed as curative agent, we shall not be unpre- pared to believe that wireless" waves may, in course of time, effect an i'm provement in our health. He writes:
 Prior to 1893, all processes of apply ing electricity to the body as a remedial agent required the use of conductors. But during that year, Professor d'Ar- sonval of Paris introducd a method of auto-conduction, in which the subject is completely isolated from the electri- cal source, secondary currents being in- duced within the body.
 After conducting experiments on hu- man and animal subjects with high-fre- quency waves propagated in the manner described, Professor d'Arsonval com municated the results he had found to the French Academy of Science. Here are two of his statements:
 These currents act energetically on the vitality of the tissues; and This mode of electrization exerts a very DOW erful influence on the intimate phe- nomenon of nutrition.
 "Dr, Tousey, consulting surgeon to St. Bartholomews clinic, New York, tells us that the activity of the lynn phatic and other glands is increased while in cases of defective metabolism we find increased oxidation produced by high-frequency currents. And this effect is not temporary one, but a permanent one of increased tissue activity, tonic effects being produced on any person within ten feet of the ap- paratus.
 Already we have multitudinous transmission stations scattered through out the world, and with the increasing use of wireless in connection with broadcasting, communication and nava- gation space is ever becoming more and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-25
more permeated by the very type of waves which have been shown to be so

more permeated by the very type of waves which have been shown to be so beneficial.
 Surely, then, undergoing perpetual treatment, we, who dwell in this nat ural cage of the universe, must, in time, experience a calming effect on our nerves which will outbalance the ad- ditional strain imposed by the advance of civilization, and thus inevitably ob- . tain at least some increase of vitality. May we not expect that, through stimu- lated metabolism and additional gIandu- lar activity, the nervous system will be strengthened, and that greater bodi- ly resistance will reduce the prevalence of all disease? How much time must elapse before these benefits become dis cernible, cannot, of course, be readily foretold; but that they will eventually result, seems, in the light of present. day knowledge, to be tolerably certain
 'It may be objected that the waves used for wireless transmission, com pared with those used in the process of auto-conduction, are of such small mag nitude as to produce little or no effect {; but when we consider the powerful ef- fleets wrought in those who are con- stantly subjected to the cumulative ac- tion of Roentgen rays, even of the low est strength, we can scarcely forbear from drawing the inference that the ac- cumulated effect on the human body of waves used for wireless transmission, though totally different in nature, may be equally marked in effect.

CITY OF TRADITION
Delhi Is Best Known As Seat Of Pow
 erful Empire Of Great MogulS


 If one spot were singled out in his- tory-steeped India as most historic of all, probably it would be the city of Delhi. Both written records and oral traditions of it extend back for ages telling of power yielded from Delhis site.
 It is because of this rich incrusta tion of history and tradition that Delhi was chosen as the coronation place for all India's modern imperial rulers : Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, and the present emperor of India, King George " of Great Britain. For the same reason Delhi was chosen, a few years ago, to be the permanent capital of the Indian empire. Government staffs were moved to temporary quar- ters in the city, while just south of the town is rising one of the most imposing capitols ever built, where the viceroy and his co-rulers will have their perma- nent quarters.
 Delhi is. situated in about the latitude of San Antonio, Tex, on the very center line of India. It is a city of the plains, in the broad belt of lowland that sweeps entirely across the northern part of the peninsula, and composes India's most fertile and most densely populat- ed region.
 All about Delhi, well preserved and in various stages of ruin, are monu- ments to India's and Delhi's greatness victory towers, temples, mosques, tombs and palaces.
 Delhi is best known to Westerners as the former seat of the Great Moguls and their powerful empire which flour ished in the. sixteenth, seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The court of the Mogul emperors far surpassed in magnificence any other court of it's day. Probably no regal splendor in any era has matched it.
 The emperors sat on the famous Pea cock throne (later captured by the shah of Persia) in throne room whose walls were of exquisitely decorated marble hung with sumptuous brocades. Dia- monds and other precious stones worth hundreds of millions of dollars studded the throne and ornamented the robes of the sovereigns. The city fell into the hands of the British in 1857 during the Indian mutiny.-Bulletin of the National Geographic Society.

Rex Beach's remarkable love story, "Recoil,' y in its film version, holds forth at the Temple theater two more days, today and tomorrow Aside from be- ing an interesting screen romance, in which the beautiful young Betty Blythe, with Mahloh Hamilton, take the leading roles, it is also especially interesting from the standpoint of the fact that it was actually filmed amid the gorgeous splendor of the worlds greatest gamb- ling resort, the famed Monte Carlo. Gambling qhouse attendants and pleasure seeking habituees of Monte Carlos gilded palaces appear in the pic. ture as the extras, and also ten of the most beautiful women of Europe, select ed especially for this production.
 In addition to this feature film, the new Temple Last-Minute News and another chapter of the Telephone Girl stories are also shown. Fred Stark and his Concert orchestra render the musical program.

HIS LOUD VOICE
 CAN STOP CIRCUS
Lew Graham Has Been Official Announcer
 For Lifetime

Lew Graham is and has been for 34 years the official circus announcer.
 His job is to catch and hold the at- tention of an audience of from 5000 to 15,000 circus fans solely with his voice and personality, writes Earl Chapman May in Golfers. Until he appears alone before them these fans have been distracted by the urgent ne- cessity of looking five ways at once ''in order not to miss any of the show" But when Lew stands in the middle of Madison Square Garden, or in the cen ter of the great circus tent on the road, he cOmpels the audience to concentrate on him.
 The circus audience does not pay its good money to listen to a speech. It prefers to get its oratory at a political meeting, Chautauqua session or in a church. The shows the thing with the crowd at a circus. So, when his time comes to make anyone of the ten or twelve announcements assigned to him on the circus program he has a lot of resistance to overcome.
 The whole theory and practice of the American circus program is opposed to any kind of wait. The program is made out with the principal purpose of avoiding waits. He, however, is a wait personified. The minute the au- dience sees him stepping the show" it resents it. He is fundamentally un- popular. His work is cut out for him.
 Although the business" of his part is frequently changed he nearly always uses the same attention arresting line : And now, ladies and gentlemen To a certain extent all circus crowds are alike. Ten thousand circus fans in the coal country of Pennsylvania show very much the same reactions as 10000 cir GUS fans in the wheat country of Min nesota. Yet it requires little differ ent attack each, time he tries to hold them. And his time, for each announce ment, is limited to one minute.
 T have said that in a general way all crowds are alike" he says, ''but should add that the college crowd is de- cidedly different. College boys are natural-born hecklers. They love to kid anything or anybody. The circus of- ficial announcer is. their meat. The Yale students at New Haven are espe- cially hard to handle, especially after have made one or two announcements and they have me spotted.
 T once beat them at their own game by the messenger trick. The students had kidded me pretty hard on the sec ond announcement. When I came on the center stage for the third I knew

BUENos AIRES FORCES AHEAD

We residents of Buenos Aires are pretty well settled iD the belief our city is the best in South America, and we're always ready to prove it." said Benja- min Clark, now of the Argentine capital, but an American by birth, who was in Detroit recently. ITO be sure, we are farther from New York than are Rio Janeiro, Sac Paulo and some of the cities on the west coast, but it is worth the additional time to continue riding until the Plata is reached.
 We pride ourselves, and when I say that mean the North Americans, on our pep well, believe me. the Argen- tinians are not a whit behind us, the only thing is their methods differ from ours. In recent years they have devel- oned keen sense fscivic pride. They want their cities to be comparable with the best, and they make their standards the well seasoned centers of Europe, in fact one might almost say they crystal lize about Paris.

AT EAST LAKE

Thursday saw another weekday rec ord crowd at the bathing beach at East Lake. East year it would have been impossible for the management to handle the swimming crowds with any degree of comfort to themselves or patrons, but the beach was made twice as large as formerly during the winter months. and now East Lakes beach can accom- modate crowds of almost any magnitude.
 Spring water flows through the lake every minute of the day, a nice stretch of beach is afforded and plenty of water sports novelties and sliding devices abound. All these help to make East Lake the bathing mecca, as thousands go out daily to elude the heat-wave which has Birmingham within it's grasp, Flo lrwin's dog and pony circus has been held over for the remainder of the week, soy great hit did it prove for the klddies.
