MEIGHAN STARS
 IN AIDE PICTURE
Back Home And Broke Excellent Vehicle For
 Actor

Fresh from his triumph in Man slaughter" Thomas Mieghan adding to his laurels everywhere with Back Home and Broke" which is billed for Friday and Saturday at the Capitol theatre. This new Paramount produc- ton is the second by George Ade for the screen. Mir. Ade wrote Our Lead ing Citizen" and the present story spe- officially for Mir. Meighan.
 Back Home and Broke is rich in humor, with delightful dashes of thrills, suspense and heart tugs. The story deals with the problems of a young man, who upon the death of his father is left penniless. Made to feel that he occupies an humble position in the town, he leaves to seek success else where. Eventually he returns to the old town, but not a conquering hero. Apparently he is broke and ridicule is heaped upon him. The rest of the story travels in swift cycle of excite ment punetuated by high humor which is sure material for laughter.
 MT. Meighan's leading woman in this picture is Lila Lee. Alfred Green, who handled three former Meighan suc-' cesses, was the director.

PLAYERS GREAT l IN THEIR PARTS
Cast Giving Wonderful Performance In POpu-
 lar New Play

There are certain things one cannot afford to miss and one of them is go- ing on in Birmingham now. The time for enjoying it is limited, because the thing is ''The Second Year." which will be presented only tonight and Saturday matinee and night by the All-Star lief ferson Players, with Miss Tamzon Manker, Hal Crane and Selmer Jack son at their very best in the principal roles, and the entire cast giving a re- markedly clever performance,
 'The Second Year" is so human and humorously written that the audience gets the impression that this is no pri- vate family battle, but they're invited in on it. In fact, the spectators feel no more intrusive than the friends and relatives who keep dropping in on the amusing Sunday dinner party of the harassed young wife who has counted out the olives without regard for un- expected guests.
 It is an observant, heart and rib reaching story of the unconscious bore dom that settles down on a young mar ried couple after the first baby has arrived and is ceasing to be novelty.
 Fair and Warmer" is the good news for theatregoers next week. This popu- lar comedy success has been chosen by the management of the All-Star Play CTS in response to hundreds of re- quests, and those who want the oppor- tunity again to enjoy this riot of mirth will find it at the Jefferson beginning next Monday night.
