ILLINOIS CENTRAL READY TO PLACE LARGE CAR ORDER
Local District Expected To Share In Con-
 tract Award

The Illinois Central railrad has en- tered the market for 6,400 railroad cars, according to information received in Birmingham Monday, and the opin- ion prevails htat the Fairfield Car works will be given a fair portion of the order. The cars are said to be destined for use on the southern divi- sion of the Illinois Central which, it it believed, makes it more attractive to have them built here than elsewhere. The Illinois Cenral and its associate company, the Central of Georgia, has since the erection of the Fairfield car shops, shown a disposition to send as much business as possible to the local district, and it is believed this incli- nation will continue in handling the present requirements.
 The entrance of the Illinois Central in the market at this time for supply of cars was another development which added to the prevailing opinion that the iron and steel situation is showing signs of awakening. It is stated that local interests have received other in- quiries and orders combined which have added their quota to the general optimism which is growing more pro- nounced every day. Leaders in local companies were frank in asserting Monday that August had not proven as disappointing as many thought, and added that September was sure to show signs of a condition which will prove to be unmistakably reassuring to the general trade.

PLAYERS SCORE
 IN NEW VEHICLE
Jefferson Fall Season Opens With Potash
 And Perlmutter'

Before the smartest first-night audi ence the theatre has held in many a month the fall season of the Jefferson Players, whose meritorious productions has made their house one of the "show off places in Birmingham, was aus piciously opened Monday evening.
 Potash and Perlmutter," the vehi- cle selected for the occasion, fitted per fectly into the surroundings. While it lacks some of the qualities of pre- vious plays staged by the company, some of the convincing handling of oth- CTS; it may be readily said to rank with the best attractions they have staged. The audience apparently en- jOyed it hugely.
 Contributing in no small way to the success of the show, itself undoubted- ly one of the outstanding events of the years entertainment program, was the fashion review worked cleverly into the play and affording a display of feminity and finery that has been almost In- equalled here. For this bit ten young women headed by Miss Mildred Adams, a prize winning beauty, trip winsomely around a runway extending beyond the orchestra pit. These girls scored tremendously, both collectively and as individuals, and to an unposted ob- server they might easily have passed as professionals. Besides beauty they ex- hibited a stage cOmpOsure not usually found in amateurs.
 Amidst all these stella attractions, one of the real features of the per formance might possibly be overlooked, although to the jadded theatergoers it is highly improbably. This came in the debut of Miss Muriel Kirkland, new ingenus of the company. Pretty, with a head of curly auburn hair. she gave forth radiant personality which was entirely refreshing. Her histrenic ability was at once recognizable despite the minor role which she carried.
 The leads of the play, really old friends of the stage, Abe Potash and Mawrus Perlmutter, were played re- spectiVely by A. s. Byron and Selmer Jackson. Byron handled his. difficult characterization magnificently and the same might be said of Jackson although at times he evinced some hardship in keeping the confines of the Hebrew accent. Some other good portrayals were given in spots by Hal Crane, Mozart Rabiner, Helen Ray, DeForest Dawley, Phillip Brandon, Rabiner as the Jewish salesman, being especially worthy of comment.
 Getting back to the fashion review and the Birmingham contribution the effects reached in this, the second act. have been surpassed at few other times either in stock or road companies here Besides a splendidly arranged set the scene offers an array of beauty which includes: Misses Elizabeth Salter, Ser tha Acosta, Lamsine Lavender, Lillian Butler, Marion Nygreen, lila Altman, Kathleen Pope, Elizabeth Fox, Nell Me Elhenney and Mildred Adams.

FILM SKATERS
 STAD TRADITION
Hero Has His Faults And Villain Good
 Traits

Last nights audience found there
 was something new under the sun with 1 the screening of Will Nish's super-pic-
 ture, Marriage Morals," at the Tem-
 pie theater.
 Here ladies and gentlemen, worship
 pers for the movie gods, is something new.
 First of all, Mir. Win Nigh, who
 seems to be able to write as well as he
 can direct, which latter is no secret to
 film fans, goes to real life for his story. Secondly, miracle of miracles, MT. i Nigh, author-director, presents us with
 a set of men and women, real, honest l to-goodness flesh and blood men and | women and not movie rnannikin and l mannequins. ~@ I What think you of hero who has I his faults, just like normal man7 And a william who has his good pointsf And
 a heroine who is not one hundred and l one per cent perfect?
 Sounds too good to be true, doesn't 1t? And it's all true and it's all here, CT rather there at the Temple theater, and it will be there until Wednesday ! night.
 The story briefly tells how Tom
 Moore Che is the very human hero) re- fuses to take his marriage. his wife or his home seriously, insisting upon his
 liberty - liberty to do what he jolly well pleases, which whim takes the
 peculiar quirk of turning his home into
 cabaret, more or less, for the delecta-
 tion of fast crowd of smart set | spongers.
 The result and consequences, parti-
 cularly when wifey, played by Ann For
 rest, goes him one better upon the
 good old theory that 'sauce for the
 goose is sauce for the gander," makes to us an absorbing drama of real peo-
 pie, tackling real problem in a real
 way, with an appeal direct to the heart | with a thrill for every throb.

POLICE ARRIVAL
 PREVENTS CLASH
Negroes Charged With Throwing Bricks At
 InfOrmants

What threatened to develop into a serious race riot between a construc- tion gang under H. A. White and ne groes alleged to be running a blind tiger" at 113 Nineteenth street, south across from where Whites gang was al work, was prevented Monday afternoon by the timely arrival of a squad of police officers.
 The negroes are alleged to have be- gan cursing the construction gang and throwing bricks at them for telling two police scouts what they had seen going on at the house. When the officers had left, one negro come across the street and wanted to know what white man was trying to inform the police on him, cursing as he talked.
 White said that he came down off the building and told the negro to go back across the street, as he wanted to have no trouble with him. The negro cursed him, he stated, and White slap ped at him. Then the negro began to throw bricks, it is charged.
 The white men of the construction gang came to their foreman's rescue and the negroes of the street began to take sides with the alleged bOotleggers. The fight was getting dangerous when White reached a telephone and sum- moned the police.
 Seeing the white man at the phone, 1, the negroes threw some bricks through the door, one of which struck him in the hip. They had disappeared down various streets and alleys before the police arrived three minutes later.
 A search of the house by officers failed to reveal any liquor.

TAXPAYERS SWAMP
 AUDITORS OFFICE
Would Verify Unpaid Public
 Improvement Assessments

The comptroller's office at city hall was swamped Monday by taxpayers who brought with them the notices sent out for. verification of unpaid public improvement assessments.
 Hopkinson Smith, in charge of the city hall audit, had to move to larger quarters to accommodate the crowds. : Smith sent out the notices in an effort to expedite his audit of the public i'm provement books, which already show a shortage of $37, 900.
 No statement was, issued as to whether the callers records tallied with the books. It was understood that a number of discrepancies were discov- cred, but the auditor will not discuss the situation until his final report is ready. Indications now point to the completion of the audit within the next few weeks.
