There are some special reels, shown at the end of each perfor- mance, for men and women alone, and these drive home a graphic story and preach the gospel of clean living, driving to the mind of parents forcibly the fact that their children must be educated in sex matters, This plcture iy not a spectacular or lurid affalr and those who hope to see some salacious production had best remain away for they wil be disappointed. For those, how- ever, who earnestly wish to see things as they arc and to learn some truths of life, this picture is a liberal education. It has been re- ferred to by critics as a chaste pro- sentatlon of an unchaste subject. AT THE CAPITOL There will be no regular perfor- mances at the Capitol tonight or on Tuesday night as the theater is rented for the American Legion show, “That's That.” John Gilbert in “Bardelys the Magnificent,”” be ing shown only at the matince to day and on Tuesday.

As an added attraction tonight, the Strand will stage in addition to its regular program the first “'Black Bottom” Contests to be presented in a Connecticut theater. This dance is all the rage in New York city, where contests are being staged in | the bigger theaters. The “Black Bottom™ is the logical successor to the now fading Charleston. On Thursday with the new pro- gram will be shown on the screen a faithful scre 1 version of Geno] Stratton Porter's celebrated novel, “Laddie,” in conjunction with the regular program of vaudeville, The Strand management an- nounces that it will present for a three days' engagement beginning Monday, December 13, Thomas Melghan in his newest triumph, “The Canadian.” “The Canadian,” by virtue of its bigness, was selected as the picture to follow the opening program at the world's flnest theater, the TPara- mount, New York. From press accounts in the New York dailles, “The Canadian” is just the type of a picture that Meighan fans have long been waiting for. Its story is lald in the Canadian wheat- fields, where the turn of the wind often means the rise or ruin of the strong men and women who brave | the elements in those great. open | spaces. “The Canadian” will be pre- | sented at the Strand together with its regular vaudeville program at | regular Strand admgission prices. “THAT'S THAT” TONIGHT First Performance of American Le- ATERS ) *, . pr [ (L] o 0 L scenarized by Elizabeth Meehan, is the tale of a romance which start- ed during the New Orleans Mardl Gras and almost ended in a sur- prising denouement. Beginning next Sunday “Just An- other Blonde,” with Dorothy Mac- kaill, will be the headliner. “LA BOHEME” AT NEW PALACE “La Boheme.” The gay abandon of artists and poets in the Latin Quarter; the effer- vescence of true Parisians. The ardent love of a poet whose soul breathes romance—of a maiden whose every thought is a poem—a flower of France.

BRANDON IS NOT GOING T0 APPEAL Mabama Governor Won't At- tend Own Trial Bay Minnette, Ala, Dec. 6 (P— Gov. W. W. Brandon, accused with nine others of violating the state’s » & GOV. BRANDON prohibition law, considered himself under no compulsion to appear in court with them at the opening of their trial today in the county court. The governor, who was arrested with eight of his friends and & negro porter in a rald on a fish- ing camp near Foley, Ala., several weeks ago, spent yesterday at Jack- son, Tenn. He informed the Associ- ated Press that aside from the phys- ical impossibility of getting here from Jackson, he had not been call- ed to appear and further that had he been called he would have been forced to decline because of the “previous engagement.” Only four of the party had ex- pressed publicly an intention to ap- pear. They were Carr McCormack and Jack Daniels of Birmingham, and C. P. Anderson, brother-in-law of Governor-elect Bibb Graves, and Atticus Mullen, newspaperman, both of Montgomery. The other scheduled to appear were David R. Castleman and Wil- liam Castleman, prominent attor- neys of Loulsville; Addison R. Smith vice-president of the Loulsville and Nashville railroad, Joseph and Will R. Reed, negro servants. All ten men were under $3300 bonds. Brandon became nationally prom- inent at the last democratic con- vention with his steady voting of “twenty-four votes for Underwood.” Baldwin PUBLIO INSTALLATION A public installation will be held by Sir Francis Drake lodge, Ameri- can Order Sons of St. George, at ihe regular meetting Thursday eve- ning.
