Grace, Beauty and Humor
‘ “Venus,”’ the musical comedy at
traction at the Rylander Theater
tomorrow night, played Columbus

viewer of the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun in this issue of Feb 2. The
review in part is printed below:
There may have been— note the

pointment among the large audience
at. the Springer last night when the

“THE HUMMING BIRD”
ON RYLANDER PROGRAM
Led by a daring youth called
“The Humming Bird,” a gang of
; thieves flaunts the police force of
I Paris. Randall Carey, an American
newspaper man in Paris, volunteers
to assist in running “him” down.
Toinette, a girl, is “The Humming
Bird/’ who preys upon the upper
classes to rob them.
Real love for Carey comes into
her life—she is willing tor his sake
to try a respectable life. But then
there is another girl, Carey’s fiance
—Toinette returns to the life she
knows.
But why tell more? —the best is
only insufficient account of the
story—a bear for thfrills. In fact,
there’s never been anything likb it
made before. It’s individuality, it
nothing else, makes it stand out as
one of the leading- pictures of the
screen thus far. Gloria Swanson
revels in the stellar role, as gor
geous and beautiful and alluringly
gowned as ever—as saucy and pert
and deliciously French as she was in
“Zaza”—an her first male imper
sonation. As the most notorious
Apache in Paris, who masquerades
in boy’s clothes and becomes the
talk of the boulevards and the ne
mesis of the police, Gloria is de
clared to have a remarkable role
and to do her greatest acting.
Edward Burns, who appeared 4n
support of Miss Swanson in “Zaza,”
also ras the leading male role in
“The Humming Bird.” On th esaame
program will be shown the latest is
sue of Aesop’s Fables.
crticism of all. who took part, but it
will permit us to say that Miss
Brown, who is a most charming
young- woman, is exceedingly grace
ful, and that in the matter of cos
tumes she gave the ladies something
we may say, to think about. She is
a young woman of excellent stage
appearance, and was always receiv
ed most cordially. Johnnie Getz is
a splendid comedian, he is both na
tural and funny , and produces
laughs at most unexpected moments-,
but they always “fit in,” Ace Brown
as John Rodney,'is clever in his act
ing, and will improve with more ex
perience. The singing and dancing
were especially good and received
many encores showing that the au
dience thoroughly appreciated the
efforts of the players to please.
/' THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
“BRINGING UP FATHER”
HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Heretofore most of Jiggs Ma
honey’s adventures have been con
fined to America. Jiggs, like most
of us mortals, that is, those- imbued
with the true spirit of the times, be
lieve in “Seeing America First.” j
Jiggs is a true American and loyal
citizen even if he is compelled t
extricate himself almost daily from
the meshes of family- jars and other
contrariety invariably started by
his wife Maggie, who is and in
tends to remain “thegboss of her
home.”
Beg pardon! You don’t know who
Jiggs Mahoney is? What a-well,
Jiggs is none other than “father of
the famous George McManus car
toons, “Bringing Up Father,” and
who by the way has millions of un
known friends who, swear allegiance
and who will not permit anybody
to libel his good nature and charac
ter even if it is somewhat weak
and vascillating.
This season Jiggs will be-thq out
standing figure in a brand new play
entitled, “Bringing Up Father on
Broadway,” -which is the theatrical
attraction at the Rylander Theater
Friday night, Feb. 8. The piece is
in two acts and five scenes and
catchy music, pretty women, unus
ual features and a fund of surprises
are promised. Seats will be placed
on sale at the box office Thursday
morning, t 10 o'clock.
MANY ‘DRUNKS’ TAKEN
IN BY ATLANTA POLICE
ATLANTA, February 4. The
crime waves which swept Atlanta in
1922 and 1923 brought more arrests
than were made in this city in any*
year since 1912, according to a table
compiled by Lonnie L. Stone, clerk
in the office of Cries of Polices
James L. Beavers.
In spite of the fact that the na
tion was in the grip- of prohibition
during both of these years, the
number of drunks arrested far ex
ceeds that in other years, and the
7,003 jailed on crarges of drunk
enness in 1923 ocnstitute an un
questioned record.

SULPHUR CLEARS
A PIMPLY SKIN
Apply Sulphur as Told When
Your Skin Out
Any breaking put of the skin on face,
neck, arms or body is overcome quick
est by applying Mentho-Sulphur. The
pimples seem to dry right up and go
away, declares a noted skin specialist.
Nothing has ever been found to take
the place of sulphur as a pimple re
mover. It is harmless and inexpensive.
Just ask any druggist for a small jar
of Rawles Mentho-Sulphur and use it
like cold cream.

CLAIM WORLD RECORD
Dr. Sensabaugh Announces Re
sults Atained During Teach
er-Training Period
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 5.
Closing a record-breaking year for
teacher training credits in his de
nominaton, L. F. Sensabaugh, sup
erintendent of the teacher train
ing section, general Sunday school
board, M. E. Church, South an
nounces that Southern Methodism
claims the world record in this re
gard, so far as Protestant denom
inations are concerned.
Mr. Sensabaugh has secured re
ports from heads of religious edu
cation departments in other protes
tant boards and a comparison re-1
veals the fact that the record o‘
board in 1923 is well advanced of
showing other boards, as indicated
by the following figures; Northern
Methodist, 10,961 units; Northern
Baptist, 8,018; Southern Presby
terian, 2,592; Disciples, 2,487;
Northern Presbyterian, 1,200;
United Brethern (approximately),
800; Congregationalists, 235.
Os the 28,542 credits reported by
Mr. Sensabaugh, 13,071 were taken
in the 185 standard training schools
held in Southern Methodist terri
tory during the past year; 498 were
earned by pastors in 12 pastors
'summer schools; 686 were issued; at
| Leadership Schools at Lake Junalus
■ska, C., 4,19 g were issued to col
lege students in Methodist institu
tions of learning; and 10,092 were
issued by correspondence. More
than 30,000 people were thus reach
ed by the training school system
which is a feature of the Sunday
school work of Southern Methodists.
This says Mr. Sensabaugh, is a 52
per cent increase over the high wa
ter mark of 922 and is nearly three
times as many standard training
credits as have been issued by an
other Protestant denomination in
one year.
MANY WOMEN PAYING
INCOME I XES IN GA.
AZ-
ATLANTA, Februk-y Hun
dreds of thousands of women an
nually file income tax returns and
pay income tax, says a statement
just issued by the local United
States internal revenue office. No
official estimate of the number of
such returns for the year 1923 ean
be given, but statistics of incoma
for tre year 1921—the latest com
pilation of such figures—show that
for that year the number was ap
proximately 800,000. The tax as
sessed on the income reported by
women was more than $111,000,000
Os the total number of returns filed
by women, 89,000 were by wives
who made separate returns from
husbands. The amount of tax collec
ed from this source was approxi
mately $43,500,000.

Glorious Gloria as the female Dr.
