For any one who is not afraid to face life and its facts, Thomas HI. Ince's picturization of Eugene O'NeilPs powerful stage drama, Anna Chris tie,r can not fail to hold a powerful appeal. This First National picture comes to the Trianon next week.
 Study life and paint what you see," has been the motto of the romantic eyed Irishman who tramped the streets of city slums and beat his way across several seas before he wrote Anna Christie" ~tt
 Picture life" has been the ideal of Thomas H. Ince in all his screen pro- ductions. He has lived up to his ideal with amazing fidelity in this latest off fering. The wracking agony of life's dertphs the sordid tragedy of places too often kept hidden from the public eye and thought :; the anguish of three pitiful people whose love for each other brings them into violent conflict have been painted unflinchingly both by the dramatist and the picture producer.
 :"Anna Christie" offers conclusive proof that the great love stories of the world do not need silken backgrounds. Iii saloons and on coal barge, deep coated in soot and grime, the romance of "Anra" flowers and blossoms. It comes to a climax in one of the most powerful scenes ever conceived by a

PADEREWSKI WILL
 GIVE CONCERT HERE
Renowned Pianist. And Concert Artist Coming To Birmingham.

The seat sale for one of the out standing musical events in the history of Birmingham will begin tomorrow morning at Clark and Jones, 1913 Third avenue, at o'clock. The ob- ject of the sale is the coming to this city next Friday, February 8 one of the greatest figures in the worlds history for the past century and the premier pianist of all times, 1gnace Jan Paderewski.
 It is an event that the people here have looked forward to since last year 1t was impossible to secure a build- ing of sufficient seating capacity to warrant the price of the highest paid concert artist in the world and the All-Star Concerts placed him in Mont gomery. His concert there was the largest musical event of the season in the state, 2,500 people being pres ent and many turned away for lack of room. The promise that he should come to Birmingham this season is being fulfilled in his presentation here by the All-Star Concerts, Mrs. Rich ard F. Johnston and Mrs. Orline A. Shipman, at the Masonic auditorium Friday evening next, at 8 :15 o'clock. Glimpses of the esteem in which he is held as an artist may be had from a few remarks made here and there by Birmingham people.
 '9The best of us as life long students of music, and those of us who feel that we have heard the best in the art of piano playing cannot dream of the perfection of the playing of Fade rewski, until we hear him. Those of us who heard him during his tours before the World war do not dream of the improvement in his art, perfect as it was before, until we hear him as he plays" Said Birmingham's best known pianist, II shall never forget the joy and the thrills of that evening in Montgomery when with car load of other people I journeyed to Mont gomery, where the All-Star Concerts of Birmingham having failed to find a place of sufficient seating capacity to place him here, gave the concert in Montgomery to as many people as the large auditorium would seat and turned many away No wonder he is the highest paid artist in the world now, both his art and his history as. a statesman and diplomat make him one of the outstanding figures of the age. Birmingham will no doubt do him hon. or on his visit next Friday evening at the Masonic auditorium, where he will be presented by the All-Star Con certs, by giving him the largest audi ence of the season."

Billy Evans Says

Old Mr.. Psychology plays no

tant ball game is decided by some
seemingly trivial circumstance.
Usually the public has no knowledge
of the all-important happening.

portunity Of observing the allim-
portant role that psychology often
plays in baseball.
The incident had star batsman
and "a rookie playing the leading
roles.
1t was the last half of the ninth
inning, the home team was trailing
by Il run, the bases were filled and
it was the star batter's turn at bat.
base hit meant the ball game,
for it would almost certainly score
two runs and give victorysto the
hcme team.
The veteran batsman had often
faced such a situation in the majors
and enjoyed reputation for deliver
ing in a pinch. The rookie pitcher
was facing big league crisis for
the first time.
The veteran star realized the
rookie pitcher was i'll at ease.
The fact that he had passed the
previous batter on four straight
balls. filling the bases, was ample
proof.
1t was apparent by the attitude of
the star batsman that he desired to
work on the rookie pitcher.
The star came slowly to the plate,

Willard Scott hurled wicked ball
yesterday and Braddock could not
meet it successfully, the Prisoners
winning the game at the Grove field
diamond, &c to 9. Weber pitched
nice ball for the visitors but received
weak support from his teammates,
allowing the Prisoners to score at
will. eBraddock seemed stage struck
by the persons who witnessed the
contest and bewildered, by the offer
ings of the Prisoners nOundsman,
Scott. They threw the game away
every chance they got. Orton's pro-
teges sailed away the bacon in the
third frame counting nine tallies and
then scored again in three Of the fol-
lowing innings to show that the first
nine were no flukes. Peoples, Greg
DRY, McCrill, Holderbaum and Scott
smashed out their usual circuit hits.
SCOTS teammates supported him
well, committing but two errcrs.
Forty-two balls were knocked over
the walls, by both sides. Clever base
running seemed the most redeeming
feature of the day, Peoples and Riley
and Scott, easily leading. The man.

deciding the pitcher was about as
unnerved as he possibly could be.
The star had seemingly accom-
plishcd his purpose.
Now comes the spot where old Mr..
Psych ology proves he is tickle per-

At this stage, the veteran catcher
of the team in the field, calls for
time just as the star batsman gets
into the box. Walking out to the
pitcher, he remarked:
This is tougher spot for the
batter than you. Every one expects
him to make good. No one expects
you to get out of the hole. He's
