Anna Christie adapted from Flu gene ONeilfs stage drama, which was sensation on two continents and won the 1922 Pulitzer prize for the best American drama of the year, stands out boldly as the most unconventional heroine ever brought to the silver sheet. This First National release is now be- ing presented at the Trianon.
 i The picture is an undoubtedly artis- tie triumph. It tells one of the most gripping stories conceived by genius and screened by a veteran master of | showmanship. It is one of these pie lures that is talked about in every fem mine gathering and discussed in the candle glow of formal dinners. One simply is out of the running who hasn't seen it.
 Anna Christie" is the story of a girl who is the daughter of an old sea can. tain, a Swedish sentimentalist who planes everything, even an unquench- able thirst, on the sea. He has seen his father and brothers sacrificed to it, He decides to Outwit it and save his daughter from the fate of other women of his family who have married sailors and shed bitter tears when they waited in vain for their return. So he sends her inland to cousins in Minnesota l where she will never hear of the oceans or know a sailor.
 Anna, forced into farm work far beyond her strength, sends many pleas to her father to let her return to him but he is deaf. The girl is betra we'd by brutal cousin: runs away from the farm in terror and is forced by cir.

cumstances into the life of the streets. With her last dollar she makes her way to her father, the captain of an old coal barge. And on the barge the past fades and she feels herself clean again, almost the Madonna her father be- lieves her to be. In a wreck, an Irish stoker is picked up and nursed back to health by Anna. When they fall in love with each other there comes a tragic denouement with an unexpected ending.
 O'Neill's drama was drawn with a fine delineation of characters that has been excellently interpreted by the pow erful screen cast. The "Anpa' DOT trayed by Blanche Sweet undoubtedly deserves a place in the hall of fame be- side the striking stage >delineation of Pauline Lord, whose characterization of the girl was termed by critics the finest of the year 1922, when the play was produced. George Marion drew such a wonderfully convincing charac- ter on the stage that Ince brought him back from London, where the play ere ated a sensation, to immortalize the role on the screen. And William Rus sell, as the Irish stoker. rises to emo- tional heights unsuspected even hy him self in his previous work.
 The presentation of the drama has been accomplished with finish of technique that subordinates even the magnificent backgrounds and striking sets" used in the picture to the on- ward surge of the dramatic action and the mighty. love story that promises to become one of the favorites of all time.

WILL OBSERVE
 FUNERAL HOUR
(ENSLEY BUREAU)

Every business house in Ensley will pause one hour Wednesday from 3 until 4 o'clock during the hour of the late President Wilson's funeral in Wash ington. Announcement to this effect was made Tuesday afternoon by P. H. Tyler, president of the Ensley Asso- ciated Merchants after a conference with William E. Turnipseed, president of the Ensley Kiwanis club.
 It was stated by the two officials that it was impractical to notify every mem- Der of the two organizations personally and they would be expected to act upon the information Wednesday morning.
 Merchants in Ensley had not waited on a formal request from the two or ganizations, but in mosh cases had de- termined to close out of reverence for the memory of Woodrow Wilson whose leadership in the war was appreciated here quite as much as in any section of the country. His death has caused the most poignant sorrow in this com munity and there has been a spontan- eous movement to honor his memory just as Tuch as possible under the cir cumstRnees.
 MT. Tyler and Mir. Turnipseed said Tuesday that during the hour from to o'clock it was hoped that not one busi- ness, house would have it's doors open. Aside from this act of remembrance in Ensley there will be memorial services at all the schools and by the Kiwanis club at its luncheon Thursday.

Recently when Frank Silver played of the New Kings theatre, St. Louis, he was greeted during his two weeks engagement by packed houses at every performance. The fame of Silver, who wrote the worlds most popular song, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" and who will come to the Jefferson theatre on Friday and Saturday, with his jazz band and supporting company, has spread over the country with amazing rapidity. Everywhere he is facing sold-out houses. The St. Louis Post Dispatch, in reviewing the >Silyer per- f6rmance, stated that Frank Silver brings one of the greatest jazz orches- tras in existence, band such as one rarely hears on any stage. His per- formance is filled with many novelties, brilliant syncopation, dance and song, while expert showmanship and beauti- full staging has added much to this un- usual attraction" Mir. Silver has just declined an offer to appear in London and Paris in order to fill his American transcontinental tour, but will, in all probability, be heard in Europe imme- diately after the close of his present en- agreements. t%

TWO PLANS SUGGESTED.
 TO MODERNIZE SEAPORT
Mobile Will Either Remove Louisville And Nashville Tracks Leading Into That City Or Big Canal Will Be
 Dredged For Facilities

Navigation would go through bridges on the Louisville and Nashville rail road, ships passing in via One-Mile creek and coming out via Three-mile creek.
 If the price of land and cost of work necessary to make the less expensive of these sites available for docks construc- tion is more than a dock project can commercially bear, the commission will consider two other projects tha. seem feasible"
 The commission is taking into con- sideration two items of expense which would run into high figures in the carrying out of Plan l. In. considering Plan the commission will have to de- termine the huge cost of dredging a canal, which would connect at each end with the two creeks. Two important items of expense, shown in Plan l, is the removal of the Louisville and Nashville tracks back 1,500 feet, and the cost of the acreage on which docks, slips and facilities would be built. Adoption of Plan 1 would place the docks and facilities on the river. while Plan would put them on a canal. with the railroad remaining at its present location.
 Which Is Most Expensive?
 Will Plan l cost more than Plan 7, and will either one cost more than "a dock project can commercially bear?'' These are the questions the commis- sion will start figuring after the board of appraisers has made known its vafu- ation of property which would lay be- tween, the Mobile river and the Louis vile and Nashville under Plan 1, and the valuation of swamp land known as Laurent plantation.
 Following the detailed discussion of several proposed projects it was stated the commission will figure the cost of the adopted construction program in an effort to determine if it will bring in profits. >.-.
 : It was made clear yesterday that the docks commission is in possession of data showing the original cost of all land, now desired for port facilities, and that this information would be placed before members of the board of. ap- praisers. Valuation given by present owners, shown on county tax assess ment records, has been obtained. In announcing the two tentative plans yesterday the commission added to the prepared statement that the swamp land desired under Plan is valued on tax books at between $51 and $120 per acre. The commission did not report the price which owners have asked, but

MOBILE. Ala. Feb. 5.-(Special Leased Wire.)-Charts and plans, showing in tentative form a network of docks, slips and other facilities neces- sary to a complete port system such as has been approved by the voters and the legislature, were placed before members of the state docks commission and the commissions attorney at a meeting yesterday, according to an- nouncement of Gen. William l.. Sibert, chairman and engineer. Plans take into consideration the expected future growth of Mobile as port, and their adoption is conditioned upon the abil- ity of the state authorities to get pos session. of the property desired after an investigation cohvinces the commis- sion the facilities would be profitable.
 In a prepared statement General Si- bert made known Plans 1 and 2, with holding information regarding two addi- tional plans, now considered feasible, but which will be considered should the commission decide against Plans 1 and ..
 Means Removing l.. & N. Tracks
 Plan 1 involves moving the Louis vile and Nashville main line tracks west about 1,500 feet between One Mile creek and Three-Mile creek, while Plan involves the dredging of canal connecting the same creeks. The latter plan would permit the building of docks, slips and facilities on land considered Jess valuable than that which would be between the river and the Louisville and Nashville tracks.
 The official statement regarding the docks construction at Mobile follows:
 ''In order to enable the state docks commission to make a comparative es- timate of cost of land and extra work incident to. and preliminary to, actual docks construction, the board of ap- praisers has been requested to value the land needed in carrying out two plans for port improvement, such valu- ations to be made at any time after February 15 next.
 One plan involves moving the Louis- vile and Nashville tracks west betwen One-Mile creek and Three-mile creek, connecting with the present tracks near the foot of Adams street. The distance that such track is moved west would make docks. and slips 1900 feet long practicable. Ships would enter such slips directly from the Mobile river.
 New Canal Suggested "The other plan involves dredging canal west of Louisville and Nashville railroad, connecting One-Mile and Three-Mile creeks and constructing a dock system in the swamp land in and near the Laurent plantation addition.

CAPITOL PHOTOPLAY
 STARS BEAUTY CAST
You Can't Fool Your Wife,
 One Of Best

For contrast in feminine pulchritude and temperament, few motion pictures recently produced can, by any stretch of the imaginatio equal George Mel lords latest Paramount picture, You Can't Fool Your Wife" which comes to the Capitol theatre today and Thursday, and in which the three principal feminine roles are played by Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldi mad Pauline Garon.
 Miss Joy. as Edith McBride. is the trusting wife, charming and ingenious. yet intuitive to the last degree. Her particular type of beauty, with her soft brown eyes and dark brown hair, gives just the necessary sympathy to the role of the modern wife, troubled and tor mented by a millionaire husband who has reached the so-called dangerous age.
 Miss Naldi is the siren de luxe in the picture, a polished beauty, wife of an eminent surgeon, who seeks social conquests to further her husbands practice. Her raven black hair and alluring eyes produce the desired effect when she sets out to annex a man to her long list of victims.
 Miss Garon, chic. blonde, diminutiye. is the flapper of IS, but possessing a sophistication that would be a credit to woman of 30. She bobs in and out or the picture on breeze fo sponta- neity that is delightful contrast to the action of the other two characters in the story.

JANUARY BREAKS
 LOADING RECORD
Heavier Freight, Raw Materials, Constituted Bulk Of
 Movement

:. All January records for car loadings were smashed during the week ending January 19, according to records of the American Railway association re- ceived in Birmingham Tuesday. The aggregate of 995,276 cars for this week was the largest total ever loaded in one week of January on American rail roads. A gain of 30,979 cars over the preceding week was shown.
 The gain was largely due to an in crease in the loading of merchandise and miscellaneous freight, including manufactured products, and also to an increase in grain and grain prod ucts and forest products. There were also increases in the loading of coke and ore, though coal and livestock showed decreases.
 Coal Movement
 Coal cars loaded for the entire coun- try totaled 204, ,694 cars, of 6,40f cars below the week before, though com pared to the corresponding week of 1923, the week showed an increase of 11,916 cars. Ore loadings amounted to S,722 cars, 1,108 cars above the week before, but 1 1,427 cars under last year. Coke loadings totaled 12, 162 cars, 379 above the week previous, but 1,656 cars under last year.
 Alabama coal car loadings for the week ending January 19 showed a slight decrease as compared to the pre- vious week, the total being 5,173 cars, against 5,344 cars for the week ending January 12. Loadings for the week ending January 26, however, show a gain, the total being $500 cars.
 Comparative Figures
 Coal production in Alabama is hold ing up well, though slightly below the totalsfor January, 1923. These figures, announced by Assistant Secretary Mills Tuesday, are as follows:
 ls 1924 1923 s5 Tons Tons Week of Jan. 26 :. 37O,OO0 3S3,OOO Week of Jan. 19 .. 34S,000 3S0,OOO Week of Jan" 12 .. 350,000 360,OOO Week of Jan. 5 .. 325,OOO 393, 3,OOO
