SCENES OF BIG PLAY
LAID in FAR NORTH

Stirring scenes of the Far

sodes and a strong company head
ed by the beautiful screen star,
Charlotte Walker, made "Pard-
ners," the photoplay version of
the Rex Beach novel, which open
ed a four days engagement at the
Apollo yesterday, delightful
feature. The film brings the
charm of the north country, with
its types of strong men and at
tractive women, wildly to the au-
dience. The story is an interest
ing one, and it is told with a dash
and vim that eccentuates it's
punch. A comedy and education
al feature round out the bill.

Coleman Goetz is the bright
shining feature of the Hippodrome
road show that opened at the Re-
gent Sunday. Goetz is song
writer of note. And he sings his
own songs with such a vim and
dash that he infects his entire aud
fence with the joyous rythm of the
music. A clever young pianist
plays his accomplishments.
Jere Sanford returns with his
famous rube representation, and
his comedy in the role of a chore
boy is ridiculously funny.
