Colleen Moore once again corrals all honors as the perfect. flapper' of the screen. fs.s
 This time, the dainty First National star wins the jazz age sweepstakes in a photodrama entitled 'The Perfect Flapper," which comes to the Trianon this week. The little lady of Flaming Youth" and Painted People" simply runs away" with the material given her and it is not saying too much to predict that her characterization of Tommie Lou Pember, the modern girl who wondered: What kind of a girl must I be to be the kind of a girl the boys want me to be" as something that will go down in motion picture history with her interpretation of Pat FentrisS in Flaming Youth"
 Colleen wears some smart and beauti. ful gowns which will delight the eye of the feminine patron, while the party scenes will offer the most blase movie gOer thrills of a new variety.
 The scenes taken within a mansion being moved from location are espe- cially absorbing and show to what ex- tent motion picture producers of to. day will go in order to secure realistic effects.
 "The Perfect F7apper" has moments of magnificent drama and scenes oi extraordinary depth and feeling. He seems to understand Colleen Moore and she responds to him as a violin does tC a masters hand.

CROWDS THRONG
 DGEWOOD PARK
Hot Weather Calls Pleas
 ure Seekers To Pop ular Resort

With the coming of the long desired Good Old Summer Time" the con- crete swimming pool at Edgewood park has become the most popular place in the district for swimming and diving and water sports generally. Motorists are finding the new paved highway that leads from the heart of the city direct to the park gates, with a plunge or a swim in view, the most ideal motor way in the district for an outing.
 Dreamland pavilion, with its artistic decorations, it's cool situation and music by the "Dreamland Ramblers," the leading jazz orchestra, attracts hundreds of those who love to dance. The dance floor non the balcony of the pavilion is popular with private dance parties as by agreement with the management they may have the exclusive use of the balcony.
 The reasons for the popularity of the swimming pool is largely due to the fact that it is not only the largest con crete swimming pool in the world, but is fed by the purest of water coming from deep artesian wells drilled through solid rock. In addition to this source of supply. the water is further purified by the Wallaee-Tarna system of puri- fication, thereby insuring it's absolute purity. The water is always cool and clear as crystal and therefore the logi- cal place for those who like to dive or swim.- .-- .U
 Dancing at Edgewood is attracting big crowds every night. The Dream land Ramblers, who are the equal of any jazz orchestra that has appeared in this district, are popular with the dancing public from the fact that their program is varied with many new and original. stunts.

HOT DAYS BRING PEOPLE TO PARK
East Lake Is Enjoying Greatest Season In
 Its History

An official of East Lake park, in commenting on the wonderful crowds which have been Hooking to the amuse- ment resort all summer stated Saturday afternoon ''Of course, attribute the doubling of the attendance mark this year largely to the $75,0O0 in improve ments we made at the park during the winter months. Still, there are other features to be taken into consid eration. Fact that we made the bath ing beach twice as large as last year and rebuilt it entirely, adding deep sec tors for swimmers and divers, had lot to do with the increased patronage.
 "Another matter that helps swell the crowds and one that can't be over looked is the fact that East Lake park is so easy of access, It is the only re- sort in the Birmingham district where the trolleys draw up alongside of the park entrance and unload their human cargoes. Any other trip to a resort necessitates a walking after the pas senger alights from the car. Something else to consider Is the, fact that paved road leads from the heart of Bir- mingham directly to the park entrance. It's level stretch of paving. There are no hills to balk ones motor, there are no detours to make, there are no bad and dangerous curves in the road. It's q straight shot from the heart of Bir- mingham by motor car and only few minutes. ride.
 "All these things have collaborated in helping us to enjoy patronage that is twice as large as last year, which by the way was the banner season in the parks history
 Monday marks another big free day for women of Birmingham at the re- sort. From 1 to 7:30 p. m. Monday they will be admitted to the beach free, the only requirement being that they l furnish their own suits. We'll over a thousand women took advantage of this free offer last Monday. Two thousand or over are expected Monday afternoon. | The twelve big feature rides of the pleasure resort are also breaking rec ords on attendance established last year.

STORY IS BASED ON MODERN LIFE The Marriage Circle Ti- tie Of CapitOl's
 PhotOplay

The filming of "The Marriage Cir cle," Ernest LubitscRs most recent production, which will play at the Capitol theatre Monday and Tuesday, with Florence Wider, Marie Provost. Creighton Hale and an all star cast, was the occasion of much excitement at the Warner Brothers west coast studios.
 The reason was the fame of MT. Lubitsch as masterly and differ ent' producer, working along lines that bid fair to revolutionize the art of motion pictures.
 Visitors in the studio, lingering ex- pectantly around the Lubitsch set, awaited with breathless awe for the great man to start directing. Here would be a thrill Even the prop boy and studio hands to whom the studio lights are a matter of course found themselves curious to see the greatest director at work.
 Here again was disillusionment. The Lubitsch cast behaved like regular people. There was no raving and rant ing about-no tearing of the hair or forceful shouting. But the effect was there just the same, acquired in quiet way that would photograph just as 'snbtly.
 And the subtitles too are not an effort to capture the whole of the dictionary in a single reel. They are simple and direct when they are there at all, which isn't often.
 Instead of thin, improbable plot, set at such a feverish tempo that i'm possible happenings crowd each reel, the story is a dramatic one-but a true life dramatic one, unfolding it. self gradually as real life stories do,
 Wednesday and Thursday, the popu- lar stage and screen star, Alice Brady appears at the Capitol in "The Leo pardess." Friday and Saturday, ''The Second Fiddle" si the screen offering, starring Glenn Hunter.

HENRY EMERSON FOSDICK ON
PRO H IBITION

The history of mar is strewn with
the wrecks of social customs and po-
litical institutions that seemed great
and permanent. Men thought them
inextricably wrought into the fab
ric of life. A world without them
was unimaginable. But they were
not useful to the progress and en-
richment of mankind, and they have
vanished.
Consider so contemporary a mat
ter as the prohibition of the liquor
traffic in the United States! Con-
vivial drinking goes back to the dawn
of history. 1t is one of the immem-
orial traditions of the race. It has
been enshrined in story, exalted in
art. made fascinating in song, and
countless customs of private friend
ship and public ceremonial have been
entwined with it.
Moreover, in our modern times
billions of dollars have been invest
ed in the traffic. 1t seemed absurd
to propose its abolition. But one in
ldCI was LlOIE Gldu q
match for this enormous weight Of
power: the liquor traffic was not use
full. All men who knew the facts,
saw that from the cavernous nav of
the liquor traffic came an endless
stream of wrecked homes and blast
ed lives, of unspeakable personal
filth. and public degradation, of &C.
onomic inefficiency and unproduct-
eveness. Whatever else the liquor
traffic involved it always involved
this. Tradition, wealth, the Ingram
ed habit of millions of men not all
these together could withstand that
fact. The liquor traffic must go, for
usefulness is the only assured basis
of survival for any institution in So
ciety.

PUPPET SHOW HELD IN JAVA
Nayanq or Theater Embraces All

Farther back than recorded history
the puppet form of drama existed in

of Java is Of Hindu and not Javanese
origin. J%avanese literature consists
mainly Of the books from which the
subjects of the 'vayang'' plays are
taken.
%Javanese music is the "gamelan,"
an orchestra of various instruments,
which accompanies "vayang." The
most ancient form of "vayang" is the
"vayang purva,' which in Java can
be traced back to the Seventh cen
tury, but probably is much older.
The word "vayang'' means "shad-
ow," but has come to include all sorts
of drama, as developed from the shad-
