Loew's Palace-wallnee Reid In
.Sfck Abed.-

There is less plot than there Is
laughter to sick Abed," the latest
screen production that brings Wal
lace Reid, the fascinating Juvenile
star, to the screen of Loew's Palace
this week. but yesterdays audiences
can testify that what sick Abed"
may lack in the form of consist
entity developed drama II quite
makes up in its impulse to hilarity.
When one considers that sick
Abed." the featured attraction. is
coupled in the projection with Mack
Sennett's latest celluIoid scream.
BY Golly." little imagination is
required TO reach the conclusion
that the Palace has a program this
week dedicated solely to merriment
and laughter.
This latest Reid picture does not
deserve a title like sick Abed."
As a matter of strict fact sick
Abed" is hardly any title at all for
a merry-maker of this sort. 1t
might so much better be called
Goodnight. Nurse" and Director
Cannon. of the Palace Symphony
Orchestra, sounds the very keynote
of the picture itself in a revival OF
that lyric ditty of yesteryear:
II don't want to get well;
81 don't want to get well;
I'm in love with a beautiful
nurse"
That's the story in essence. The
handsome Wallie appears as the
next friend of a gentleman who is
discovered in a rather compromis-
! I'M ANgA 49, x.ysN g..
woman at a roadhouse by a wife
who secretly pines toward her hus-
bands friend. Wallie.
There Is a threat of a divorce ac-
tion and hubby's friend is in danger
Of being summoned by his friends
wife as the star witness. In desper-
alton, the friend takes to a hospital
shamming illness, but one good look
at his trained nurse gives him the
age-old trouble-love.
The wife who threatens to divorce
her husband is quite dismayed at
the turn OF affairs with her hus-
bands young friend, and seeing the
friend head over heels in love with
the nurse, she decides to forgive
her husband and let his friend go
ahead and marry his nurse. What
happens to Wallie before that end
is attained is too long q story to tell
here, but with wallie as the patient
and Bebe Daniels as the nurse. one
can imagine the romantic climax
that develops from their meeting.
Words fail to picture the hilarity
of Mr.. Sennett's newest piece of tom
foolery, called by Golly." and the
rest of the program includes a nov
city overture selection by the Pal
ace Symphony Orchestra. "In a Bird
Store Uake); a scenic reel, Mutt
and Jeff cartoon; the news pictures,
Topical Tips" and others features.
Loew's Palace seems the logical
laugh center of the week.

Garrick-Garrick Players I'm "Parior
Bedroom and Bath"

The Garrick Players began their
second weeks presentation Of Par
lor. Bedroom and Bath" at the Gar
rick last night. This farce, by c. w.
Bell and Mark Swan, has met with
such overwhelming popularity at
the Garrick during the past week
that the management was practi-
calIy forced to continue the run for
another week. ending next Saturday
night.
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" has
set a new popularity record at the
Garrick largely by reason of the in
depreciation given the piece by the
cast to which 1t has been intrusted.
The comedy of its lines and situa-
tions has been emphasized and its
more daring dialogue and situations
handled with a touch of delicacy
that robs them of aversion.
The same cast that appeared in
the same production last week will
be seen for the balance Of the cur
rent week. 1t includes Malcolm
Fasett, Anne Morrison, Everett
Butterield, Amy Dennis, Edward
Mackay and others.

with "The House without Chill

This weeks show Is a human
interest drama pure and simple.
The photoplay was written by Rob-

most powerful appeals which can

Pennsylvania avenue house last
night heartily appreciated the play
and voted It one of the best ever
seen in this city.
The plot of the picture Is laid
around the title. and deals with a
house without children" and the
sadness attendant on such ca
lamity. Finally 1t Is shown what
joy a child brings to human hearts
and what care and fuss one can
make over a child after being with
out children.
