BLOSSOM TIME
 COMING MONDAY
Shuberts Famous Comic Opera To Play Return
 Date

Seats go on sale Thursday for the return engagement of the Messrs. Shu- bert's famous comic opera Blossom Time" which comes to the Jefferson theater, next Monday night and for the entire week, including matinees Thanks giving and Saturday.
 As every theater goer now knows the book and lyrics of Blossom Time are by Dorothy Donelly. who adapted them from the original Viennese of A. M. Willner and H. Reichert. The music is from melodies of Frank Schu- bert himself and H. Berte, adapted by Sigmund Romberg. Blossom Time deals with incidents in the life of the famous composer, Franz Schubert, and therefore his own music furnishes q large portion of the score. Schubert is shown in love with one of his pupils and composes one of his famous num- bers in her honor. In it he tells her of his love. However, with the modesty of the artist, he is unable to sing 1t in person to her as he had planned, so he asks his friend Baron von Schober, to sing it to her in his stead. Schober is a natural Don Juan and victimizes Schubert. Singing So beautifully and making love so perfectly, the Baron wins the girls affection.
 The mail orders have been coming into the box office of the Jefferson theater in great volume since the first announcement that ''the musical hit of the ages'' was returning Blossom Time" sold out here before and indica- tions are it will again.

LON CHANEY STAR
 AT CAPITOL TODAY
Popular Actor To Be Seen In
 The Shock

"The Shock" the Universal-Jewel feature which plays the Capitol today and Thursday is bitter-sweet story of life, and one that is we'll worth seeing
 It is bitter when the San Francisco earthquake drains the dregs from the cup of life and .;weet when the beauty of Virginia Valli is shown in contrast to the sinister pathos of Lon Chaney in his greatest screen role.
 The reproduction of the Can Fran cisco earthquake is perhaps the screens most amazing illusion.
 The Capitol is offering special music each evening after seven o'clock by Philippe $. Rowell, one of the leading motion picture organists in Birming- ham.
 For Friday and Saturday, Milton Stills and Dorothy Dalton will star in "The Woman Who Walked Alone"

AT THE JEFFERSON

The greatest drama sensation of modern times is "Rain." which will be shown at the Jefferson Theater with q matinee today and night performance.
 It is produced by Sam H. Harris, who has given out the information that he considers it the greatest achievement of his rather spectacular theatrical career. In New York it received the highest encomium from all the critics most of them declaring that it was the best thing they had seen in years.
 It is a dramatic story, plainly and truthfully told and there can be no doubt of its value from an educational viewpoint.
 The company which will be seen here includes among its members Hilda Vaughn as Sadie Thompson, Augusta Durgeon, Belle Sylvia, Edward Nannary c. Norman Hammond, Hans Roberts. Kenneth Fox, Alec Hartford, Mary An gel, Emma Raff, Howard H. Gibson, and others.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Another out burst of buying orders with substantial advance in many of the prominent stocks. We think it would be a fair policy to market some stocks during this unusual period but do not sell so much as to lose your, position but suf- ficient to place you in a position of advantage and be prepared to take ad- vantage of the prices that will pre- vail on the selling day whenever it comes, and 1t will come at an uneX- pected moment without previous notice. John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The stock market resumed it's upward swing again today, with tremendous volume of busi- ness. Many of the motors and indus trials made new highs. The rails were again the market leaders, and prices shot into new high ground. Frisco common was very active and crossed 56 on heavy buying. The Wall Street Journal announced that the Frisco board of directors are to meet Decem- Der to act on common dividend. Many traders expect that the common will be placed on $5 dividend basis. We have been persistently bullish on this stock from 34 up, yet we advise our traders to take advantage of all bulges with the idea in view of replacing on the set backs. Davidson Chemical was strong on official denial that company Is seek ing new financing. President Miller o1 Davidson Chemical announced that the company Is now making money for the first time in four years with the plants operating at 80 per cent of capacity and stated that the outlook was most promising. That very little railroad stock Is coming out on the market tC meet the advances seems evident to us The strength in the rails today indi- cates that the supply for sale is not large. In other words, we still believe that the market position of the rails invites further advances. There are however, undoubtedly a large number of traders expecting good sized reaction but other than healthy profit taking setbacks, we cannot see that the market as whole is on the edge of a genera decline.-Steiner, Rouse & Strocck.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-During prac tically the entire session most leading stocks continued their amazing exhibi tion of advancing power, most of then closing close to the best quotations fol the day.
