KHAKI SCREEN COMEDY
WILL BE SHOWN AT PALACE
New Ince Co. Stars to Appear in New
Mary Roberts Rinehart Story.

How many ex-doughboys while
they were in the early training camp
stage found themselves mixed up in
a screamingly funny ENHANCEMENT
and made the remark, Gee, they
ought to put this in the movies. ="
Well, Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote
a story for a popular magazine called
t'Twenty-three and Half Hours
Leave" about a happy-go-lucky caval-
ry sergeant who made a bet that he
would eat breakfast~with his colonel
and did it. A million or so read
ers laughed at the story and now
the veteran producer, Thomas H.
Ince, has made a motion picture out
of it for his latest pair of stars, Doris
May and Douglas Mclean. The film
is booked to be shown at the Palace
theatre Friday, May % 1t tells how
Sergeant Bill Gray made the wager
and not only broke mullins with the
C. O., but also won the colonePs
daughters heart. Which was the
greater achievement it will take the
picture to show.

al getaway Sunday morning, fleeing
by the way of Dawson. Accord
ing to information given Sheriff Tar
yer the fugitive stopped at the home
of W. L. Darby, five miles out from
Albany, and asked to be brought to
Dawson, stating that his car had
broken down. Darby finally agreed
for given sum to send his son on
the trip. On reaching Dawson Will
liams secured local bank check and
made it out to Mr.. Darby for Sc,
signing the name "Jones," 1t is said
that he told the police officers at
Cuthbert when arrested that he was
making his way back to Albany to
give himself up to the sheriff.
Mr.. Robert Bartlett, of Dawson
who is well acquainted with Williams
was instrumental in his capture, anc
received the reward of 500 which
was paid for his arrest.
