San Carlos Company In Birmingham Jan
 uary First

New Years Day in Birmingham will be red letter day operatically. for on that date the San Carlo Grand Opera company will pay the city q visit, and give two performances at the municipal auditorium. In the after noon we shall be privileged to see and hear Madame Tanaki Miura ill the title role of Puccini's master work Madame Butterfly a part in which she has become world renowned, and on her success ill which she was per sonally congratulated by the lately de ceased composer. No one could look the part more perfectly than Tanaki Miura, and needless almost to say she dresses it to perfection in robes and kimonos which are the dernier cri in Nipponese modes. and which have only recently been procured from Japan.
 The same evening Verdi's perennial and perpetually delightful 'trovatore" will be sung by another splendid cast of principals. Elda Vettori. generally admitted to he one of the finest dra- matic sopranos, and on whom New York critics recently showered their concentrations. will sing the role of Leonora the richly voiced Ada Salori will be the Gypsy Azucena, Ludovico Tommarchio will sing the tenor role of Manrico as only he can in these days when dramatic tcnors are scarce. and Giulio Frcgosi will be the Count di Luna, in which his noble bass bar itone voice will be heard to the greatest advantage. Both operas will have the support of q strong chorus and full orchestra. the musical direction being in the skilful hands of Maestro Aldo Franchetti.

TELL ME WHY"

What is this generation coming to? On what will the next be builded? A man demands chastity of the woman he married. Should not she demand the same thing of him? Should we live for the present or for the fu- ture? These and many more vital questions are answered in Tell Me Why" the picture dealing with ques- tionS of sex.
 Those who attend the showing of this photoplay for the purpose of see ing vulgar and sensational or to sa- tiate some thirst for curiosity will be highly astounded at the true realization of facts resented.
 No attempt is being made to sen sualize this production by glaring head lines and misleading titles. But be- cause of the delicate nature of this subject there will be special shows for ladies only and men only, and no one under IS admitted.
 This picture is without objectionable features but is a full and comprehen- sive treatment of subject all should understand, treated in most delicate manner.
 It was stated that many people that have seen this attraction in other cities where Tell Me Why" was shown, offered congratulations to the theater managers in presenting so del icately, the vital things of life.

DOLLAR IS URGED
 AS CHRISTMAS GIFT
Treasury Tries To Swell Circu- latiOn Of Peace Coins
 lRv AsSncintad PresSl
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Use of the new uncirculated 1924 peace dollar by people giving money as Christmas gifts is being urged by the treasury.
 Printing of 200.000,000 Liberty bonds and increased demand for currency in the war and after the armiStice used all reserve stocks of linen money paper. Manufacturers are unable to obtain lin en rags to make more and have been forced from 100 per cent linen basis to loo per cent cotton basis.
 It costs the government IT cents to make a dollar bill and keep it in circu- lation.
 In view of the very poor quality cur rency now out, the treasury desires to put in circulation 300OO,000 silver dol lars to replace one months supply of paper dollars. If that can be done, it is estimated an annual saving of about $1 100000 can be effected.

Ramon Navarro And Alice, Terry Star In Desert
 Picture

Rex Ingram, producer of "Scara. mouche" and "The Four Horsemen," has made another wonderful photoplay in "The Arab" the Metro picture which plays the Capitol theater Mon day and Tuesday. Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry have the principal roles that of a shiek's son, and a mission. ary's daughter. The young Bedouiu falls in love with the Christian girl and through his tribe saves her and her father from the intended massacre by the Mohammedans.
 The story, taken from the stage play written and acted by Edgar Sel' wyn, is ideal for the famous trio, fol Ingram shows his genius in an en. tirely new form of picture, and Miss Terry and Mir. Novarro look and act better than ever. The film was made in northern Africa, and the natural locations are worth trip to the the ater alone.

knows her every whim and fancy, a man who. so to speak, has grown right up with her on the screen.
 In the story Pola is the queen of 2 small Balkan principality, a masterful and efficient sovereign who meets the intrigues and deceits of court life with an iron hand. She is a creature of extraordinary beauty and magnetism and possessing a decided penchant for handsome young men. Rod La Rocquo is a soldier in the army at the front. Menjou is the quens chancellor, her faithful servant and diplomat of the highest order. It's Pola's best and has broken box office records in New York, Atlanta and elsewhere.
