CHAS. RAY AT PALACE.

Charles Ray insists on realism in the scenes of his pictures and resorts frequently to trange and surppisiEg methods to get them. An instance will be noticed by those who see the latest Thomas H. Ince picture in which he is starred, Bill Henry" It comes as a Paramount offering to the Palace Theator Friday and Saturday.
 In this Mir. Ray plays the part of a country youth who sets out as an agent for an electrical vibrator. I'm one scene he is supposed to be demon strating his device to a rheumatic old man, who jumps and howls when the vibration is turned on. The rehearsals were all calm enough, but MT. Ray didn't quite approve of the expressions of his subject when the vibrator was supposed to be in action, so he asked Director Jerry Storm to give him a rest until after ranch.

THE TEXAN" AT FoX's.


 The Texan.' with Tom Mix in the stellar role, is truly a thrilling tale of the southwest. It gives Mix every op- portunity to display his skill in the saddle, and at the same time is blessed with story that lirts 1t head and shoulders above the usual Western type of picture.
 Mix Is seen as Tex Benton, a typi- cal Texan, happy-g lucky, full of pranks. whose six-shooter is set on a hair trigger. One trick after an- other gets him into no end of esca- pades. Romance overtakes him. Love throws her sugar-coated lariat over his head when Alice Marcum, a girl from the East-played by Gloria Hope-mects the irrepressible cow puncher and encourages him to win the worlds championship in a rodeo. incidentally the most hair-raising events of the recent annual rodeo at Prescott, Arizona, have been includel in the picture.
 Our old friends Mutt and Jeff make a heroic attempt to solve that uni versal question H. C. L-high cost of living. A rollicking comedy Kiss Me Quick" and the Fox News are included in the screen part of the program.
 The vaudeville bill is headed by "A Variety Review" a musical melange with plenty of action and pretty girls. 1t is a big act and carries eleven people. The Great Raymond is one of the best ventriloquists seen on the

kindly nature of the man for whom they are named.
 So-my little plan-which MT. Ram say is going to follow, is this: He Is going to open savings account at the Ensley bank Christmas of S100 for each namesake he has-this to be his ''remembrance'' to those who bear his name-a gentle reminder that he is -appreciative of the honor which has been bestowed upon him-a practical way of starting his namesakes in life.
 The reason, I found that the sug- gestion appealed to Mir. Ramsay was this: Back in his youth-in fact when he was a very little boy-his father took him into a Dollar Savings Bank one day and opened an account for him. It pleased him very much and from that day until the present he has constantly increased this saw ings account until today with the de- posits and the interest accruing from the small beginning, he has credit of over S6,000.
 MT. Ramsay feels that by starting savings account for his namesakes, he will give them a chance to show what sort of business men they can become-and just how much they can save-for after all it is the penny saved"-that counts.
 None knows more gracefully how to do things for his friends than MT. Ramsay; none showers upon his large circle of friends more hospitality than MT. Ramsay and none is more thoughtful or more generous and when he was wondering" what would be the incest thing he could do for his namesakes (for he is always thinking of others and never of him. self) my little suggestion seemed to fit like a glove and he may be furious ly mad with me for telling you about it, but just couldn't help it; l thought it was such.a nice thing for him to do; and he has done 1t in such a sweet spirit--that I think it would be rather "stingy'' of me to keep it to myself don't you?
 Any way-his little namesakes-this Christmas will have a nice little saw ings account to their credit at the Ensley bank--the older ones as well as the younger ones-and the incest part of it all Is, that as happy as his namesakes will be MT. Ramsay will be far happier because he has done something to make somebody else hap py, has given a little group of young sters an opportunity to show their mettle, and their true worth in the days to come!

 old Scotch name she little knew that many another fond parent would choose the same name to honor his boy with in the days to come-
 And MT. Ramsay is going to do such graceful thing--this Christmastide for all these namesakes of his; and feel rather a personal pride and in terest in the matter. because it was my suggestion when he was looking about to find some graceful sweet way of remembering his namesakes at the beautiful Christmas season that appealed to him.
 I suggested-that instead of silver cups" and silver services" gold rings" and gold watches" that he might do a thing which would be per petual; something which would grow as the years go by--something which would always remind these same little namesakes of the appreciation and

With all sincerity | profoundly re-
greet the incident i'll which a citizen Of

Johnson held views which ! do not

people who share his views. He was
entitled to express his opinions in this
country just as freely as | would be
entitled to do if | were invited by
American organizations to express
my views i'll that country, and, max
ing every allowance for the high spirit
OF youth, profoundly regret that a
citizen of the United States should
have been subjected to such an out
rage, and | do not know that anybody
would be we'll advised to treat with
levity and fippancy what has hap
pened, however profoundly they dis
agree with his views, and | disagree
with them profoundly. He had come
on the invitation OF British citizens to
plead his cause.
Assailed by overwhelming odds Mr..
Johnson did all man could do to
defend himself and, overwhelmed by
numbers which should not have been
employed against a man of his age. he
behaved as sportsman and brave
citizen of the United States. The in
jury to Mr. Johnson was certainly
never contemplated, and his demeanor
was such as to make it certain that
however unpopular his views may be
he will never fail to obtain a fair
hearing.
