Lubitsch Screen Credo.

I UBTTSCH, peer of movie directors,
- eXemplifies his own ideas in his
latest production, Three Women"
There are no ordinary screen situa-
tions, there are only ordinary meth
DDS of handling situations, and op-
posed to them extraordinary ones
This is the cinemic of Ernst Lu-
bitsch. whose latest production,
Three Women" a Warner Brothers
classic of the screen, will be seen here
this week.
Lubitsch has been known to take
situations which would class as or
dtnary and make them brilliantly ex-
traordinary. With Three Women
he had the initial advantage of an
unusual plot TO begin with. 1t is a
story of one man and three women.
made unique by a mother-daughte er
combination in the trio. May McAvoy
is seen in the role of a charming
daughter and Pauline Frederick in
the portrayal of mother defeated in
love by her own daughter. Marie
Provost is the third rival for the love
of the one man. In fact, the story
seems to have been written for just
these three women
The sets in this picture are said to
be magnificent Vast in massive lux
ury, yet there is still an air of home
like comfort. for Mr.. Lubitsch must
have his 'at homo" atmosphere.

With signs pointing to the biggest fall season the Birmingham real estate market has ever known, the final week 'Of summer came to close Saturday.
 Although nothing of q sensational nature was brought out during the past week, there was stated to have been considerably moFe activity than was evident on the surface. At least two transactions in the $100,000 class were reported to have been practically consummated.
 Real estate men here are unanimous in tn prediction that September, Oc- tober and November will be banner trading months. Besides the building developments now in progress plans for a number of other projects are known to be nearing completion with only official" confirmation to make them a certainty.
 Saturdays market found deals run ming well over $100,O00. A feature of the trading was another change in ownership of the southeast corner of Third avenue and Twenty-third street, directly across the street from the new Third avenue building.
 This site was sold by J. T. Doster to James Wilcox through T. W. Quinn, of the Motion Realty company.
 Two other pieces in outlying prop erty were also reported to have changed hands in a trade between w. N. Ma line, H. B. and R. M Ingram. Prop erty taken by the Ingrams in the deal is located at Avenue D and Seventeenth street in Ensley, while the other figur- ing in the transaction was the south east corner of Second avenue and Fifty fifth street.
 This<deal was swung by Hyman Leader, of the Ingram Land company.
