FAIRBANKS IN THE
 K FILM AT CAPITOL
His Majesty, The American,' Is Ie Title Of The Picture

The one and only Doug comes \to town today via the screen at the Capi. tol theatre and he will have to stay in our midst for quite a spell if he is go- ing to give all the folks who will want to see him chance to gather round.
 His Majesty, the American" is Fairbanks at his best. Can more be said? l-
 His Majesty, the American" tells a story that demands Fairbanks for its interpretation. It is the tale of a missing heir to the throne of mythi- cal little kingdom in Europe. Doug is the missing heir, of course, but no one would ever suspect it-least of all, Doug, himself. When we find him at the beginning of the story, an excite ment-loving, thrill-craving, adventure seeking gay young New Yorker, we are totally unprepared for later develop ments, and his journey to Europe and his capers with royalties and revolu- tionists is a treat indeed for fun-lovers.
 The production is sumptuous; it must have cost fortune to make. The cast supporting MT. Fairbanks is of exceptional ability all the way through. Dainty little Marjorie Daw could make any one fall in love with her, and Frank Campeau was never more vil- lanioAs. Lillian Langdon, Sam Soth- ern, as a younger brother of the fa- nous E. H.; Albert McQuarrie and Jay Dwiggins are but few of the players who contributed splendidly to the entertainment.
 For Friday and Saturday, the Capi- tol management offers a real colorful romance, Children of Jazz," with a choice cast.

The producer has lspape6 no expense in cast, settnigs and story.
 Montague Glass, the creator of the characters of Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter, whose popularity has grown as they passed from magazine to book form, thence to the stage, as- sisted in filming his 'stroy.
 Leading the cast are Barney Der nard and Alexander Carr, who cre- ated the roles on the stage, with Vera Gordon as co-star. In their support are such notable players as Martha Mansfield, De Sacia Mooers, Ben Lyons, Eduard Durand, Hope Suther- land, Lee Kohlmar and Jerry Devine. And Clarence Badger directed it.
 With such q. combination it was a foregone conclusion that the picture would be Init" in every respect. But mere words cannot describe just how good Potash and Perlmutter" is
 Persons living in the towns and cities which are never visited by the famous Ziegfeld Follies on tour will have an opportunity to see the chorus girls who figure so largely in the revue, by visiting the Trian0n this week.
 A score of the Follies beauties take part in the elaborate cabaret scenes in Potash and Perlmutter,"i First Ma tiOnal picture.t In addition there are 10 choristers from the east of the Music Box Revue, the annual produc- tion which isr the nearest rival to the Follies in New York.
 The chorus girls you will see on the screen are the prettiest in the world, and it cost a considerable sum to in- duee them to appear in the. production.

MCCORMACK TO RETIRE BEFORE
 VOICE IS GONE

John Mccormack does not intend to grow old before the American public.
 The famous tenor, who is in Bir- mingham for concert in the Masonic temple Wednesday evening, is g years ola now and at 45 he plans to give up his singing career and enter the gov ernment diplomatic service.
 D. F. McSweeney, manager for MT. Mccormack, made this statement Tues day and then pointed to the tenor, who was lounging in comfortable chair with a book before him.
 Hes reading diplomatic stuff right now" said McSweeney, and it takes several Chicago book shops to keep him supplied with reading matter"
 Speaking in his own behalf, MT. Me Cormack admitted he did not intend to keep on singing until his voice fails. Then he talked of his concert, work.
 'I greatly enjoy singing before southern audiences" he said. They seem to feel the music so deeply"
 Mir. Mccormack has several times thrilled Birmingham music-lovers and indications are that a packed house will hear him at o'clock Wednesday evening. A few good seats are yet available.

CITIZENS PROTEST
 NEW SCHOOLSI7E
Second Indignation Meet ing Is Scheduled For
 Wednesday Night

Protesting the action of the board of education in placing the site of one of its new schools on Lee avenue, near the Girls Industrial school. a group of West End citizens Tuesday night held an indignation meeting at the Metho- dist Protestant church.
 Basis of the protestations that re- suited in the meeting is said to be the belief that the location decided on is in a sparsely settled district, with Valley Creek bounding it on the north, state property on the northwest and negro section on the south and southeast sides. This, it is pointed out, leaves only a small adjacent section on the east to be served by the school.
 No formal action of any kind was taken at Tuesday nights meeting, but second meeting of like nature was decided upon for o'clock Wednesday evening at the same place.
 Decision of the board of education to locate the new building on the Lee ave- nue site was reached after protests, in the form of petitions, had been submit ted against the site, it was brought out Tuesday night. This petition is said to have been signed by more than 600 rep resentative citizens of the district, all of whom bitterly. oppose the location finally chosen.
 As an alternative for that location the petition suggested Harrison park, which is said to be centrally located and available from all sections of the district,

Fair Isle Sweaters

TNO THE youthful Prince of Wales
 we are beholden for popularizing
 the Fair Isle sweater or jump er," as it is termed in England Fair Isle is one of the group. of islands con- stituting the world-famous County of Shetland in Scotland which weaves wonderful woolens. The legend runs that shipwrecked sailors from the Span ish Armada taught the natives of Fair Isle how to extract dyes from plants. The sailors, being Spaniards- of Moorish descent, brought with them taste for the Morris school of decorS fon--those curious arabesque and convoluted curves which are seen today upon the true sweater hand-made by the inhabi- tants of romantic Fair Isle.
 When this >vivid-hued sweater first burst upon the startled vision of Ameri- cans they promptly set it down as a fad which had appeared only to dis apear. However, unless signs are all awry the Fair Isle sweater is destined to preserve it's vogue among sports men, because it is rather possession than a purchase in the same sense that a genuine Panama hat is something to be cherished and chummed with for life.
 A characteristic pattern of the real Fair Isle sweater is reproduced here, showing it's bold and brilliant inter- mingling of colors and designs, each one of which is said to have hidden meaning known. only to the natives. The cross is symbol frequently to be met. It runs through every theme like recurring fugue in a musical compo- sition. Yellows, ,scarlets, purples,- blues,

CRIMINAL DOCKET
 DISPOSED OF FAST
Only Two Capital Cases Remain
 To Be Hard

Only two of the a12 cases set for trial during capital week of the present term of criminal division of circuit court re- main on the docket. They are those of Will Clark, charged with murder in the first degree, and Ocie Roberts, charged with robbery. They will be taken up Wednesday.
 Pleading guilty Tuesday morning in Judge W. E. Forts court to a charge of murder, Frank Grant was sentenced to 20 years in the state penitentiary. Milton McDaniels, charged with distill- ing, paid a fine of $50 and costs after being found guilty of the charge. A verdict of not guilty was returned by jury in the case of John HOrnsby, who was charged with a statutory off, fense.
 Cases of James Washington and Ali Brown, both of whom were charged with murder, were passed Tuesday morning in Judge H. P. Heflin's court.
 Because the docket of capital of fense cases probably will be cleared Wednesday, two other cases have been set for trial durin" the remainder of the week. They are those of Charlie Weldon, violation of the prohibition law, for Thursday, and Dock Manning, charged with distilling, which has been set for Friday.
