EMMA

EEW feminine names have a simpler
l. origin than Emma. 1t is one OF the
many names derived from Teutonlc
forefathers. Tradition assigns its origin
to the Iispings of a child since ANIME
was nurse in Germany and anne is
translated housekeeper in Spain.
ANIME was quickly transposed to
Emma probably from latent sense
of euphony.
The Karling daughters of Teutonic
fame were first to use the name. Later
a daughter of Charlemagne was so
called. A romantic story surrounds
her to the effect that she is said to
have carried her lover, Eginhard the
Chronicler, on her back over the snow
that his footprints might not betray
his visits.
Emma was popular in France, where
it was the name of the sister of Hugh
Capet. who married Richard the Fear
less of Normandy. Her grandmother
was first the wife of Ethelred the I'M
ready, then of Knut 1t was in this
way tndt EMMA DecdlIe ulUSll III NVSue
in Saxony. There were also Emmes
among the daughters of the Norman
Dru de Baladon, who came over with
William the Conqueror.
Prior, in his beautiful ballad of the
Nut Browne Maid" which was sup
posed to be the history of the shep
herd. Lord Clifford, called his poem
Henry and Emma which fact
brought Emma romantic fame and
spread the popularity of her name
Emmeline, curiously enough, bears nc
relationship to Emma, but comes
rather from Amaline, the progenitor o.
Amy.
The bloodstone is Emma's talismanit
gem. 1t has medicinal qualities ane
was much used by the ancient's t.
stop hemorrhages. 1t is said to pre-
serve the faculties and the bodil!
health of it's weareF, bring considera
ton and respect, and guard her from
deception, especially of lovers. Tues
day is Emmas lucky day and 8 heI

THE BIRMINGHAM AGEHERALD,
HOUDINI TONIGHT AT
 MASONIC AUDITORIUM

Houdini comes to Birmingham today for performances tonight and tomor- row night, with matinee also tomor- row, appearing at the Masonic audi torium under the auspices of the Drill corps, Cyrene Commandery, Knight Templars.
 { His lectures will frankly point out the tricks of fraudulent mediums. will explain the so-called spiritualistic phenomena, and will duplicate. any manifestations that occurs at any seance; he will use estereopticon pie lures showing the famous mediums and fraudulent mediums of the past fifty years and will describe their work or de. captions as the case may be. A most interesting feature will be performance of his own famous tank trick, which SC caught the admiration of the president of the London Psychic society, that he declared Houdini's work a clear cast of dematerialization." This trick, oi course, Houdini will not explain, other than to state that there is nothing supernatural about it.
 By queer trick of fate, IIoudini has long been a camera fiend He has been photographed with. the foremost medi ums in all the civilized countries of tht world-and these photographs he use.

ARKANSAS STARTS
 BOOM FOR BRYAN
Delegates Name Robinson, But
 It Is Merely An Honor

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March G. The wheels of the William J. Bryan presidential boom were set in motion Thursday night. when Representatives from 61 counties, at democratic caucus here, voted to instruct the dele. gates to the national conventoin to support Senator Robinson, minority leader, as first choice for the nomi- nation, and Bryan as a second choice,
 More than 5000 supporters. of the Bryan for president" movement gath cred in Convention hall at the Hotel Marion, cheered loudly at each men, ton of the Commoner's name, which was frequent. Former Governor George W. Donaghey presided.
 Observers saw in the indorsement of Robinson duty the state felt toward native son. It is generally believed the minority leader will refuse the honor and that the boom for Bryan will be thrown into high gear.
 Speakers on the program accentuated the honesty of the "anti-evolutionist' to overcome the numerous government scandals in which the indictments in connection with the veterans bureau were frequently mentioned. Among the first of the southern states to be in- vaded by Bryan packers will be Ten nessee and Mississippi, it was stated.

COMEDY PICTURE IS
 CAPITOL'S OFFERING
Sixty Gents An Hour Is Title
 Of Screen Farce

Walter Hiers. star of the Paramount comedy. Sixty Cents an Hour," which opens at the Capitol theatre today, is a genuine comedian.
 The story is that of a soda -jerker, fat young man working for slim salary. One of Jimmy Kirk's ambitions is to take Mamie Smith, daughter of the bank president of Zavina, out for an automobile ride. When he hires a touring car at the rate of sixty cents an hour, the whole family pile in, and Jimmy's day is spoiled. His second at tempt, however, is much more success full, for this time he gets q roadster and rides off in triumph. s5
 But a dark plot is brewing crooks are on his trail, for under the seat of the very car in which ke is speeding is goodly quantity of silver coin, loot from the raided Zavina bank, and they are determined to get it. But this is a far harder task than they had antici- pated, and soon they find themselves bound securely and deposited safely in ! the bottom of their car by the supple Jimmy, who returns to tell the police of his find. Then the fun begins. This comedy has a most amusing climax.
 Sixty Cents an Hour" is first run Paramount production and it's showing at the Capitol will mark its first run in this city which should pack tht Capitol Friday and Saturday.

CARMEN OPENS
 OPERA SEASON
San Carlos Company Delights Audience With First Off,
 fering Thursday

-Carmen,- the opening offering of the San Carlo Grand Opera company at the Jefferson theatre Thursday night was enthusiastically received by an ap- precative audience.
 The famous opera, telling of the love ef the gypsy girl who had such a tragic ending. needs no re-telling, but the work of the cast was exceptionally good.
 Alice Gentle. who has sung with the Metropolitan and Chicago Grand Opera companies, sang the leading role. Her voice was a bewitehing soprano and her acting realistic and artistic.
 The part of the tOreadOr, Escamillo was superbly rendered by Mario Valle, . baritone. and one of the most pOpu- lar singers on the Operatic stage. He, as well as Miss Gentle received tremend- Ous oyations from the crowd on the first appearance.
 The opera company was accompanied hy its own orchestra. conducted by Carlo PerUni. He is considered one of Americas leading conductors. The music was well interpretated and har monized perfectly with the voices.
 The San Carlo Grand Opera com pany brought larger cast to Birming- ham this year than last. Of especia interest to Birmingham will be the ap- pearance of Miss Mary Fabian, Bir minsham girl who has achieved. sue cess She will sing at the Saturday afternoon matinee.
 The company will offer 'Rigoletto' Friday night and in addition to the matinee Saturday afternoon will giv, two short operas, ''Cavalleria Rusti. cana" and .-Psgliacci"

in his lectures. He was one of the first, students of alleged spirit photo graphs, and he has made dozens of interesting spirit photos which have made friends gasp--yet which are not spirit photos at all! His "extoplasmic" photo of President Lincoln emancipat- ing the "Handcuff King" himself = caught the immediate fancy of New York newspapermen and the photo was copied far and wide. It was of course one of Houdini's \ewn photographic stunts. It also told the story of a finely developed sense of humor that lies imbedded behind the steel-gray eyes of Houdini. j
 Hewitt Mackenzie, president of the Phychic college of London, in recent ly published book called Spirit Inter- course" openly claims that Houdini is possessed of occult powers and that he actually dematerializes himself, in releasing his body from ironbound pack ing boxes, triple lock police cells, pad locked tanks of water, etc. To all of which Houdini smiles and says "guess again r
