THE PALACE.

At the Palace on Sunday evening and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
 there will be presented as super screen feature, "Homespun Folks" the latest production of Thomas H. Ince. Here | is a play that takes its place with such | dramatic gems as '"The Old Homestead"
 and Way Down East" Every theatre goer knows that plays like these live forever simply because they are natural stories of natural people.
 Not only does "Homespun Folks" 1 surpass any screen drama previously presented by Thomas H. Ince, and this producer has some of the best pictures made to his credit, but it also takes 1 it's place among the really great achieve l ments of the screen.
 On Sunday evening a special feature | for the concert of that night only will ! be Anita Stewart in "C1over's Rebel lion" The presence of this captivating star on the program for the evening will be strong attraction for theatre goers. Besides the Anita Stewart offer | ing there will be supporting program composed of comedies, news weeklies and other subjects depicted in shorter reels The Palace orchestra and or gan will also be heard in fine and
 carefully selected program of concert music.
 There is an act featured on the bill of vaudeville for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday that will probably prove one of tie most pleasing attractions that
 has played the Palace. This is Vaughn Comfort, the sweet voiced tenor and known as the John Mccormack of vau- devi1le Vaughn Comfort has won
 derful voice and the manner in which he sings several difficult numbers forms treat for all with an ear appre-
 ciating the highest in vocalism. MT. Comfort IS assisted III his offering by ]. West Jones, a marvel at the piano. For speed, novelty and general variety excellence 1t would be hard in- deed to find an act equaling the Six American WhirlWinds. This sextette of entertainers are placed on the bill as special feature and are sure to make a nemphatic hit during their three days stay a6 the Palace.
 Armand Wright and Ruby Earl in a variety sparklers which they call songs, steps and style with plenty of each in- gredient have a carefully moulded, clev- erly presented act that has class stamp ed all over 1t.
 Flo and Ollie Walters stand high among the sister" teams in vaude- ville's record book. One of the girls is fine singer and dancer while the other is one of the c1everest and funniest fe-
 male eccentrics that has come along Tn
 many a season.
 Bits of Versatility" an act running the full gamut of vaudeville entertain ment is the offering of Norman and
 Jeanette who prove that they have every right to use the term versatility" any time and any place they wish. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
 real vaudeville thriller comes to the
 Palace in Taylor Granville's big $10,--
 GOO production, "The Paddock" This
 act takes vaudeville audiences hack to
 the days of the same producers we'll
 remembered productions such as "The Star Bout" "The Handicap and oth- CTS. Any theatre goer recalling these
 acts will be i'll the box office line at the
 Palace during the engagement of The
 Paddock" for he knows that something big awaits him. "The Paddock" Is the l most pretentious of any of Granville's big acts. It IS presented in three scenes, each with an abundance of thrills. A | cast of 20 actors is required to tell this l gripping story of the race track. The l big scene is the exciting race in which l five thoroughbreds are actually seen | dashing across the stage in thrilling | neck and neck finish. For an act that brings its audience to its feet in cheers
 ard for a dash of real red blooded melodrama The Paddock" is today | the biggest offering that a vaudeville l theatre could secure and the Palace has l it.
 The name of Rex Beach stands forth as providing the main screen feature on the Palace bill for the last three l days of the week. It is many years since this author wrote and produced Going Some" as stage attraction.
 The play has been visualized into the
 one of the most delightful and enter
 faining of pictures with all the life, ! snap and punch characteristic of its
 author. While Going Some" is thrill ing and at times intensely dramatic it
 also has strong and lively vein of
 comedy woven in its story, something
 unusual in a Rex Beach book. With strong cast and superb direction Go ing Some" has been made master film. Other attractions on the bill for the last half of the week at the Palace are
 Edith and Eddie Adair, pair of clever
 vaudevillians; the Volunteers, as good dash of variety as one could wish to see :. Elizabeth Otto and Eileen Sheri- dan, duo of pretty and clever girls.
 and Iockhart and Laddie, pair of 1>@or1,abo11f comedians
