THE PALACE.

Burning in the Palace lights will be
 the name of Will Rogers who appears
 in his new screen production, Cupid
 the Cowpuncher," an adaptation from
 the story Alec Lloyd, Cowpuncher, ,
 by Eleanor Gates. This picture is to
 be the steller screen attraction at the
 Palace for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
 and Wednesday.
 No other star of the screen has the
 ability to administer p1easingly mixed
 portions of pathos, heart interest and
 the droolest of comedy as effectively as
 Will Rogers. Palace patrons who have
 synpathized and laughed with him in
 "The Strange Boarder," Water, Water
 Everywhere" Jess Call Me Jim," and
 others of his productions will be happy
 and eager to take advantage of this
 opportunity to again see their favorite
 in screen action.
 Cupid the Cowpuncher" is a story
 of the ranges with romance for lovers
 of the romantic; with action for those
 wishing to see things Up and doing and
 with plenty of that quiet, enjoyable humor for which Will Rogers is noted
 on the screen and speaking stage. It has been said that in Rogers the theatri- cal world has one comedian whose hunor registers just as strong and effectively on the screen as it does when delivered to an audience by the star himself.
 All of Will Rogers pictures have been received with favor for the simple reason that all of them have been good appealing to the audiences through the simple sincerity of their star and his ability to pass shis ,-. humor broadcast through the medium of the cameras eye. Cupid the Cowpuncher" is an other typical Will Rogers picture, pro- claimed by many crIU1cs as being one of the very best screen efforts placed to the credit of the popular and rapidly rising star. {.
 Another picture offering which comes to the Palace for Sunday evening only is Earle Williams i'll Captain Swift" This IS a picturization of the success ful stage play and presents the star i'll one of the finest roles he has ever been called upon to portray on the screen. It IS the story of man, sick of life ot crime and outlawry changing his name and making heroic attempt to lead a clean, honest life. How he suc- ceeds and the trials he meets and sur while doing so all go to make a great story and an absorbing picture.
 One of the musical sensations of the early vaudeville season is Will Morri- Sey's "Buzzin' Around" which after spending a considerable time as a part of New York's Casino Theatre pro 1uction has started on a long tour of he big circuits, From its initial vaude- 1 Iille performance this act became a de- | ;1ded success with managers and book | ng representatives from all parts of the | 1frIy 1,1 or their respective theatres As usual he Poli booking staff was one of the lrst to secure a contract for this act | md as result 1t begins its tour of the ooh circuit at the Palace on Monday, reading the vaudeville bill for the first hree days of the week.
 'Buzzin Around depends not only 'n music, songs and girls to deliver its holce brand of amusement but adds to his a series of novel effects and ideas hat stamp 1t as being something new, omething different and something far eyond the ordinary offering of musical omedy. Will Morlsey, producer of his act, Is well known locally and as Buzzin' Around" Is one of his first uccesses, theatre goers will find added 1terest in, the coming of this unusual fering. Ability to combine some songs, then a l tile talk topped off by a dash of step ing receives an excellent examplifca- on in the act of Rogers and West, a -etty and clever feature of the vaude- l He for the first half of the week $ Donald Roberts and Hazel Mayne in : eir variety conception, That's All ( ight," have another neat bit of vaude- { He to add to the Palaces amusement election. Mir. Roberts is an -excep- onally clever comedian and Miss I ayen is as pretty and as graceful I'll as one could select from the beau 3 es of vaudeville.
