PLEA Is MADE
FOR ORPHANACE
Eleventh Avenue Meth
odists Observe Xmas
Program

Delight for the. scores of children,
and happiness for the hundreds of grown
people present featured a"White Christ
mas" celebration at pc Eleventh Ave
nue. Methodist church Sunday afternoon
A large offering was taken for the Selma
Methodist orphanage at the close of the
program, under the direction of Z. w.
Toliver, superintendent of the Sunday
school, who presided at the celebration.
The principal address was made by
E. NJ. Elliott, who spoke on the claims
of the Selma orphanage. MIR. Elliott
said the institution was turning father-
less and motherless children away al
most daily for lack of room, adding
that Methodists of both the North Ala
bama and Alabama conferences propose
to erect an additional building at Selma
to cost $4,000, provided the Christmas
gifts to the institution are sufficiently
generous.
Mr.. Elliott described how a divine
instinct comes to one and all at Christ
mas time. He said that the kindness
and good fellowship prevalent at Christ
mas is due to the power and tar-reach'
ing erect or Cnr1st spirit ~ was
declared that the beautiful custom of
making presents at Christmas began
when God gave His only Son for the
salvation of the world, and that the wise
men of the east adopted the custom
when they offered presents to the Christ
child.
One of the other attractive features
of the program was the well known af-
firmation of New York editor that
Santa Claus does exist as made in let
ter to a 5 year old girl, read by one of
the children.
In his reply to the little girl the editor
was quoted as saying that to know the
truth makes one wise, to practice the
truth makes one strong, and to live the
truth makes man divine.
The opening devotions were led by
Rev. s. o. Kimbrough, pastor OF the
church. A double quartet led the
hymns and sang two anthems. Holy
Night" was played by number Of
young musicians from the Alabama In
dustrial Home.

Program

A large congregation was present
Sunday night at the Church of the Ad-
vent when 4 Christmas pageant, writ

ton S. Barnwell was presented. Elec-
trio effects and setting added much
of the effectiveness of the production.
The large cast was appropriately
costumed and made a colorful picture

hymns and carols were sung.
The pagent opened with the church

darkness which brooded on the face of

ton is effected and all seemed good III

Abel (Cramer Roberts) is seen offer
ing his acceptable sacrifice to God. Cain

jealous hate and Abel is slain. Thus
sin thwarts the good purpose of God
and Cain becomes vagabond.
The scene changes and Cain now be-
come the Spirits of mankind seeking
some ground of hope for release from
sin and for reconciliation with God. The
Spirit of Prophecy (Rev. Charles Cling

'I'SINCED WINGS
 AT THE CAPITOL
Bebe Daniels And Conrad Nagel Featured Players
 In The Cast

Another of those splendid casts that are characteristic of Paramount pic lures, has been assembled for "Singed Wings" Penrhyn Stanlaws' new pro- duction in which Bebe Daniels and Conrad Nagel are featured, and which comes to the Capitol theatre Monday and Tuesday. Miss Daniels ha&the role of Bonita della Guerda, a beautiful Spanish cafe dancer, while Mir. Nagel plays the leading masculine part that of Peter Gordon. Mir. Nagel is regarded as one of the screens best young actors and his role in "Singed Wings" gives him ample opportunity to display his talent to the best advantage.
 The heavy role is played by AdOlphe Menjou, one of the best players of ballroom and polished villain roles. Don Jose della Guerda, grandfather of Bon ita, is played by. Robert Brewer. An old man, hardly able to walk with the aid of his cane and leased to exasper- ation by Emilio, simple minded clown, Mir. Brewer has created a character. of great strength.
 Ernest Terrence has the part of Elm lilo, one of the strongest characteriza- t1ons in the picture. Emilio is a clown in the cafe at which Bonita dances. He is simple minded but cunning never theless. He loves, Bonita, who treats him kindly and thereby provokes a tragedy. The remaining role, that of Eve Gordon, the neglected wife of Bliss Gordon, is played by Mabel Trunelle.

LYRIC PRESENTS
 FIVE NEW ACTS
Warren And O'Brien Headliners On New Vaudeville Bill Be
 ginning Monday

Novelty is the thing on the bill which will be offered for the delecta- tiOn of patrons at the Lyric for the first half of this week. Surprise. va riety, mirth and melody will be found in the five carefully chosen acts of big-time Keith vaudeville which make up the program, with screen novelties added,
 Warren and O'Brien are the head liners in Bits of Eccentrieity." Theat- rically speaking. eccentricity is a syno- nym for fun. The eccentric of the stage is almost invariably comedian. War ren and O'Brien are of that ilk. They are seen in Bits of Eccentricity. Messrs. Warren and O'Brien have gath cred together an excellent collection of material and from this they have se- lected their bits and these bits they fashioned into a whole and constitute 15 minutes of thorough enjoyment.
 The added attraction is more comedy of high class sort. Hazel Mann and

sented on the screen. The theme of love misguided provides one of the most gripping, human. heart-touching stories ever offered motion picture lovers. It is a ringing indictment of divorce and stirring appeal to men and women who contemplate marriage, and those who are married, to abandon the follies of modern life wherein lies the peril of discOntent.
 It is a picture of beauty; the sets are lavish and there is an atmosphere of luxury that places the picture far in advance of any recently shown here. It breathes wealth and society, yet possesses the element of greatness in drama, human characters who live and suffer and are regenerated through the supreme sacrifice.
 Pauline Frederick and Lou Tellegen, two of the greatest emotional players on the screen, have the leading roles and are supported by Leslie Austen. Helena DAlgy and an all-star cast of players.
