Given special prominence on the bill
at the Palace for Monday Tuesday anL
Wednesday is THE Heart of Annie
Wood" one of the most delightfully."-
arranged. and produced vaudeville ideas
presented this season. This act, which
a very prominent critic called "a must
cal half Tone" is so out of the ordinary,
so unique and thoroughly original that
+ it has placed itself on a par with the
biggest vaudeville hits of the year. 1t
has repeat engagements to its credit in
New Works famous Palace and others
in the big Keith houses of Boston,
Philadelphia and Cleveland.
The act, or rather its story, is told in
a set of lyrics set to music written espe-
cially for the offering. The lyrics are
as pleasing as the best comedy lines
imaginable while the music to which
they are sung is particularly delightful.
The thousands who always eagerly
await the announcements of Palace
screen attractions will be delighted when
they learn that Geraldine Farrar in her
latest big production, THE Stronger
Vow" will be the principal feature
among the Palace pictures for Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The
star in this picture is seen in what is
probably the most colorful role of her
screen career. First she appears as a
beautiful daughter of Spain, the center
of all eyes of an elaborate carnival in
Barcelona. Next she is seen as bride
amid the elite of a great metropolis
Following this she assumes the role OF

 PLAY GIANTS OCT. F
Game Will Launch Pro Football
 Season at Polo Grounds

New York, oct. 2.-~Massllon, which, with Canton, Ohio, has been the hotbed of professional football for many years, will be the eleven Charlie Brickley's Giants will face on Octo- Der 12 in the first game of the pro- fessional football series on the Polo Grounds. Briclllcy clinched the game with the Massillon Tigers yesterday. That despite the array of gridron stars Brickley and John McGraW are gathering to represent the Giants, tho New York team will have stubborn opposition is cVinCcd from the team Ernie CObbal, the, former Notro Damc star, who is piloting Massillon, Will bring to New York with him.
 Cobbal has backtield composed of Dorias the great Notre Dame quar- terback, who, almost singlc-h handed, routed Charley Dalys Army eleven three years ago; Shorty Miller, of Penn state; Talman, of Rutgers, and kenncWorth, Of Lehigh. Horror. of Pittsburgh, and Green, of Dartmouth, will guard the Hanks. At center will be the fOrmeT All-American pivot man. Peck, of Pittsburgh, who will be ianked on either side by his former Panther teammates, Jock Sutherland and Seis Henry, of Washington and Jefferson, another All-American se- lection, and Thornhill, of Pittsburgh, are the regular tackles. with Weis- back, of Washington and Jefferson; Nash, of Rutgers, and Fitzgerald, of Notre Dame, as reserves.
 That BriCkley was premature in announcing the makeup of the Giants is evinced from the fact that some of the mon mentioned for positions deny having agreed to play Alfred G. Gennert of Princeton, writes that he never has been approached by repre- sentatives of the Giants and that he unalterably is opposed to professional football. Gcnnert says:
 Gcnncrt's Statement.
 '"The use of my name in this con- nection was wholly unWarrantcd and ineXCusable. 1 have never been ap- preached on this subject by any rep resentative of the National Exhibition company the Giants) or any other professional club. I would not play football for money on Sunday or any other afternoon. I believe that any attempt to professiOnalize football is a direct attack on the best traditions of the game and should be resented by all loyal devOtees."
 Bricklcy acknowledges a mistake was made in the announcement that Gennert would play for the Giants, but says he has verbal agreements with most of the others mentioned to play at the Polo Grounds. The former Harvard hero says that since the announcement of the professional series he has been besieged With re- quests from gridirOn celebrities for positions on the eleven. The first practice will be held at the Polo Grounds Saturday and the full eleven, it is expected, will rendezvous for a workout on Sunday.
