AT THE TEMPLE

'"The Redezvous-"the meeting place of love and adventure. That is Marshall Neilan's stirring picture of romance that lowered in the midst of Russia's adventure-crowded days at the Temple theatre the first half of the week. T5t'
 | From the dramatic point of view, the picture is one of the best that Neilan has made; in technique and in photog- raphy and in lighting it is unusual and compelling. The cast contains players of worldwide prominence. Conrad Nagel in the role of the American off, fieer, plays his first part in Goldwyn pictures and has one that exactly suits him. Emmett Corrigan plays the part of Vassily Leonidoff; Elmo Lincoln is the Tartar chieftain, Godunoff; Sydney Chaplin plays the part of a British Tommy, with a refreshing sense of humorF Lucille Ricksen has in 'The Rendezvous" her first grown up role and makes 1t very appealing. Others in thss cast are Richard Travers, Kath- leen Key, Kate Lester, Cecil Holland, Lucien Littlefield, Eugenie Besserer and R. Q. Pennell.

AT LOEW's BIJOU

One of the first comedy -playlets to visit Birmingham for period oi months made it's bow Monday night at Loew's Bijou, with four capable actors presenting "Pinched," under the direc- tion of Robert l.. Sherman.
 '.Pinched'' was the outstanding mum. Der of five high-grade vaudeville acts that are being presented this week at the theater. Included in the list are a Japanese troupe, song and dance trio, Russian revue and a comedian.
 The Orloff troupe, presenting Pas times in Russia" gave to Birmingham audiences a highly unusual type of act. During their time on the stage members of this troupe displayed bits of singing, dancing and comic interpretations that are said to be authentic duplicates of the work done by actors in Russia.
 Harrison Moss, comedian, opene,l the bill with a skit called "The Public Must Be Served" His time was spent in an effort to keep his audience enter tained, and it proved highly successful. Miner, Browne and Robbins presented sketch entitled "She's Your Girl" It consisted of witty comedy anu clever dancing. tThe Takewa" was a troupe of Japanese equilibrists, who got off some new perch-balancing feats Mrd other specialties. Special scenery was used in their act to good effect.
 "Birmingham's Own"-Lois Wilson is starring in the movie at the t1eater this week. It is picturization of Cosmo Hamilton's latest novel, Another Sean dal."

 Congressman Jeffers returned from France wearing a wound stripe. His distinctive service and bravery brought him high praise from some of the ranking officers of the overseas forces. The congressman is one of those who believe that National Defense Day, such as President Coolidge has ordered for September 12, is one of the surest steps toward permanent peace the United States could take.
 The legion committee in charge of the rally announced that splendid CO., operation from various civic Organiza- tions is being given. The meet will be open to the general public and its prime purpose is to develop a full understanding of the purposes of Def ense Day. A parade through the down. town. streets Friday afternoon at o'clock, led by the Boys Industrial school band, will be the chief prelim. mary to the mass gathering.
 Col. John s. Sewell, president of the Alabama Reserve Officers association Col. T. s. Moorman, U. s. A., and Frank M. Dickson will be other speak CTS. Mir. Dickson's speech wifi be a resume of the activities of the Alabama branches of the American Legion in behalf of ex-serVice men. particularly those who came home disabled.

SECOND YEAR
 ENTERTAINING
Latest Production Of Jef- fersOn Cast Continues
 High Standard

'aThe Second Year,"a comedy-drama that takes up married life where "The First Year" ends, is declared to be another of the Jefferson's AL-StaI players' many popular hits, with Hal Crane featured in the leading role.
 The disease 'sMarriage-itis." said to attack married couples in the second round of their battle, forms the comedy interest. This, the play depicts, causes enc to seize romance as a means ot frightening away q restlessness that comes after the first few months of marriage.
 Hal Crane, as Will Webb, did his best acting Monday night. Crane is adaptable to many parts and char acters, which are tragi-comical or sentimental type. They have made him one fo the most popular members of the Jefferson cast. As Will Webb, he resented his home's being intruded upon by theatrical men seeking to make his wife either famous or foolish. And in the end Will Webb won out.
 The dramatic background of the comedy was formed by the clashing of the modern idea of marriage, where hubsband and wife must make a spe- cial engagement if theyS wish to be together, and where careers are dis cussed and attempted. Although Miss Helen Joy, sas Natalie Woods, con- sidered Will Webb stodgy, he proved not only that he was not, but that after all an old-fashioned marriage is much more pleasant and twice as relia- ble.
 The part of Sam Wilks was filled by the popular Selmar Jackson, who per sisted throughout the play to call his wife 'mama,' which was not only un- usual for Jackson, but gave the audi ence another glimpse of his versatility.
 A. s. Byron had a lead part and did good work, as he has done in all the previous plays. Miss Marion Evenson filled a role not usual to her regular type, but as Aunt Kate she showed her real worth.
 Miss Tamzon Manker, leader of the company, played opposite Hal Crane. The entire show is full of laugh, and is certain to be popular among theatre goers, if not the leading comedy play of the season
