THOS. H. NICE TELLS WHY HE PRODUCED THE MIDNIGHT PATROL"

"It has long been my ambition to provide the motion picture theatres and public with drama based upon the heroism of the American police man," said Thomas H. Ince, producer and director of "The Midnight Patrol" which is featured at the Palace tonight.
 Soldiers and sailors have I paid tribute to in stories on the screen Yet, in my honest opinion, the con scientious, honest, hardworking po- liceman is as deserving of the na- tion's gratitude as anyone else. While we give praise to the boys lover there," we must not lose sight of the valient boys lover here." They, too, are willing to go lover the top" and that is one of the reasons I have produced "The Midnight Patrol" This picture is a vivid and realistic story of the excellent work done by the police of big western city in break ing up a gang of Chinese opium smugglers.

A majority of these were photographed in Brazil, and several hundred natives appear before the camera. The picture, as whole, in addition to being interest ing, also has touch of educational. value.

The bushes are loaded down with fruit and, especially the entrants and gooseberry bushes, require propping to keep them off the ground.

Sky Went Along.

A woman was leaving a home where
she had been very happy, and, as she
boarded the train which was to take

cry he had just made. "Why, mother"
he exclaimed, "the sky is going right
along with u.s." Other faint-hearted
people need to make the same dis
covery. No matter what we leave be-
hind, the best goes with US.
