 IN TAINTED PEOPLE
Flaming Youth Girl Makes Hit
 In Trianon Film


 Some persons prefer comedy as the piece de resistance of their motion pie ture bill of fare; many like pure TO- nance others confess desire for ad- venture and hair-raising ''thrillers."
 All of these classes will find their wishes fulfilled in Painted People" a First National picture featuring Colleen Moore, now playing at the Trianon. Clarence Badger directed it from the Golfers Weekly story, '.%The Swamp Angel"
 The author, Richard Council, is one of the foremost humorists of the day and he has supplied laughs without end. Threading the footage is love story of tender appeal-one that will be relished bv every type of theatre goer, with Be .yon playing opposite the star.
 And there are plenty of thrills, which include the stopping of runaway horse and a sandlot baseball game.
 These clements combine to make one of the most fascinating productions or the current season.
 Anna Q. Nilsson's role in Painted People" is very familiar one.
 Her reel role is her real role.
 In other words, Miss Nilsson lnY- trays an actress in this picture, which. featuring Colleen Moore, is one of the brightest comedy drama gems of the Ge- cade.
 In Painted People" which is a pie turization Of story by Richard Con nell, the famous actTess plays he part of stage leading lady. the mentor of Hiss Moore, whO,' enacting the role of a hoydenish "tomboy,' goes on the stage and becomes famous.
 Critics who have reviewed this First National picture say that the title role is admirably suited to, Colleen Moore, ard that those who saw her in "Flaming IoutA' will find an entirely new per sonality when they see her in Painted People,

 SPIRITS FRAUDS
Tricks Of .Spiritualistic Phe- nomena' Exposed By World Famous Magician

In his "spook" appearance, to be giv- en here on March [ and 8, for two nights and one matinee, at the Masonic auditorium. Houdini, the most famous of all giving tricksters, win expose '.fradulent spiritualistic phenomena" !" and will give actual demonstrations with explanations q the phenomena, which is often said to be spiritualistic.
 No one living it better qualified to do this than Houdini. For 26 years he
 has been a student of occcultis qa and spiritualism. He has known the great mediums of the past quarter of 8 cen tury and has studied their work and their spirit communications. He has made death pacts with his friends that the first to die should get in touch with the survivor through an agreed signal He has known Sir Arthur Co., nan Doyle and Lady Doyle for years and he has in his possession a letter supposed to come from his. deceased mother through the mediumship of Lady Doyle. In his demonstrations he will duplicate many of the manifestn- tions which appear in seances; he will use stereopticon pictures showing fla nous mediums and frauds and will de- scribe their work or deception, as the case may be.
 A most interesting feature of the performance of his own famous trick which so caught the attention of the president of the London Psychic soci- ety, that he declared Houdini's work a clear case of dematerilization. He will. show how paraffine hands are made bS so-called spirits, and how me- diums releasel their hands in dark rooms without detection from the sit kters. He will show how trumpets are blown without leaving any trace of their physical appearance. He will show how spirits" write on slates, an swering messages. zaH
 Most of these spirit" manifestations will be explained by Houdini and at | the conclusion of his lecture he will be glad to answer all questions which may be propounded 5 Houdini comes to Birmingham un- der the asspces of the drill corps of Cyrene eommandery, Knights Temp l lar. E... H

HOG CHOLERA LOSS s27 1000, 900

Hog cholera caused loss OF more
than s27 900 900 TO the swine in
industry of the United States during
the year ended April 30, 1924, accord
ing to a recent compilation by the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture. More than half OF the total
loss occurred in the Corn Belt states,
where hogs are especially numerous.
A comparison OF the number OF hogs
with the loss caused by cholera in
each state shows that the ravages of
the disease are approximately in pro
portion TO the hog population.
In computing the losses from hog
cholera, specialists OF the Bureau OF
Animal Industry estimate that so per
cent OF losses from all causes are
due to this dread disease Most OF
this loss can be prevented by the
proper sanitation and the preventive
serum treatment Bulletins giving
