PALACE THEATER

The Farnum family is becoming
much in evidence here in El Centro
Yesterday at the Paiace Theatre we
ihad William Farnum and today we
have Dustin Farnum, his younger
brother.
You girls all know Dustin, don't you
II you don't, you should, for he's the
handsome chap that made a fortune
for Owen Wister, when "The Virgini-
PALACE
an" was dramatized, and incidentally
reaped a small amount himself.
Dustin Farnum is here tonight in one
of his Justly celebrated picturizations
of the West. Not the west as we know
i, but the West as an author, who has
rover been any farther west than Ho-
bLken. says it is. Still it gives this
r1atinee idol an opportunity to allow
the fair damsels to rave over him, so
that's all that is necessary. "Ben
Plair" is considered to be one of his
greatest successes and will no doubt
prove interesting.
The third episode of that thrilling
serial Liberty" will be another feature
@! the program tonight.
