PALACE

With maternal love and devotion as the theme, and cleverly involved melodramatic plot as its swift moving and steel gripping factor, Thomas H. Incc has indeed conceived and direct ed a. wonderful picture in Mother O Mine" which is the screen feature at the Palace for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, What excellent mater ial Ince has found in the kipling poem is evident to the observer the instant the opening scene of the play IS flashed before him. It is a story of a mother and her only son. It takes one through the days of child hood, then into those happy years known as "the teens," followed by the first period of manhood. The the involved situations arising from the desires of Robert Sheldon, the only son of his mother, to seek the opportunities the great city has to offer over his native small town. His mother gives him a letter of introduc- ton to a prominent wizard of finance, who is, unknown to the boy, his own father who has deserted his family years before under the drunken sup position that his wife's infdelity has made the boy the son of another. The boy is given a position in the fnan- cier's office, and unknowingly be- comes the cats paw of some doubt full business transactions. Discover ing his situation, he accuses the fnancier, who, enraged because the boy has prevented the consummation of big deal, viciously attacks his mothers name. A fight ensues in which the wizard is accidentally kill ed by his own revolver.
 The only witness to the affray, the slain mans mistress, perjures herself on the witness stand to secure the boys conviction and sentence to the electric chair. From that point on ward the mother moves in promin- ence, her unselhsh sacrifice and deter imitation constituting the basis of many suspensive situations.

days following will be headed by 1.-Two Little Pals" described as a twinkling musical extravaganza with special book and lyrics and with the most noteworthy cast of principals that present day vaude- vile has shown. Jack Henry one of the principles will be remembered as the princical star of 'Oh That Melody" and 'The Bachelor Dinner" and Edythe Mays is one of the cleaverest little comediennes that has invaded musical comedy Tn many a day. Harry Pierce and Mabel Gretz, Charles Gribb6n and Estelle Mae Neal are also featured principals and the chorus consists of the usual aggregation of pretty girls that George Ghoos may always be depended upon to furnish. Special scenery and costumes emphasiz- ing vast outlay of money add to the production. Other numbers on the bill will be Come and Albert presenting their clever little act Back to School Days Merkel and Gay who are in every re- spect dancers de luxe, Dixie Hamilton the girl who sings blues" for the records and Chief Blue Cloud and Big Thunder full blooded Sioux Indians in a versa tile exhibition.
 There will be the usual continuous per- formances daily and Monday the Christ mas holiday will be celebrated with four complete shows.

The table is set for feast of good things at the Bijou to fttingly celebrate Christmas week and the first course will be served Sunday night with Sessue Hay agawa the artistic screen star sitting at the head of the table and offering as his gift his new picture 'The Swamp" which IS bit different to anything this splen- did Oriental star has hitherto offered "The Swamp has perhaps more of fine appeal to sentiment and to the finer emotions than any other production this star has appeared i'll and its selection for the holiday showing at the Bijou was mostly because 1t is a production and story designed to satisfy every member of the family. 'The Swamp" is not natural morass, shrouded by the impene- trable shades of giant trees covered with moss but 1t IS instead the slum section of a great city where the tall tenements keep out the sunlight and where the perils to life to health and to happiness are none the less real.

 COST OF LIVING
Daugherty Orders Investigation of Food, Fuel, Shoes and Cloth
 ing Prices.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Federal in vestigation of retail prices charged Ill various parts of the country for food, fuel, shoes and clothing was initiated yesterday by Attorney General Daugherty. He gave orders to direct or Burns of the bureau of invest1ga- ton of the justice department to assign a force of men at once to the duty of obtaining data on retail prices in different localities.
 Mr. Daugherty declared that prices of necessary commodities were too high and that in some instances the profits of retailers were "unconscion- able" It would never be possible, he asserted, to get prices down to the pre-war level but with wages lowered and the costs of foodstuffs reduced, he was determined to learn whether the present badly proportioned" re- tail prices should be maintained.
 Mr. Burns was instructed to put his tain the variations in various locali- ties in the retail prices of general foodstuffs. Reports also will be and meats of all kinds.
 Action to remedy price conditions, MT. Daugherty declared, would be taken through several channels. In the main, he said, the situation was a local one and the states would be asked to do as much as they could to solve 1t with federal cooperation. Secretary Hoover, he added, would be invited to join with the justice de- partment in it's effort to lower prices.

on Sunday evening, Christmas night, present two first run feature pictures, as fine attractions but in keeping with the season a most enjoyable musical arrangement will be played by the Palace orchestra. The two fve-reel features on this program are Lucy Cotton in "Whispering Shadows" and Miss Du Pont in False Kisses"
 Christmas week vaudeville at the Palace will be something over which theater goers will enthuse long after One offering for Monday, Tuesday Wednesday is Mabel Berra and the reception that this favorite prima don no receives will surely be spontane- ous. Not only does Harry Beresford and his company present very en- tertaining act in "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" but the attraction takes the form of unusual timeliness at this particular season. Beresford is one of the best of American char acter comedians. There are two Stan Stanleys in vaudeville One of them is just the plain Stan Stanley who appeared at the Palace a few weeks ago and made tremendous hit; the other IS Australian Stan Stanley and who IS due to make just as deep an impression with laugh seekers as his predecessor. Too Full for Utter ance" is the title of the second Stan ley's fun offering. Ryan, Weber and Ryan in their original and very de lightful comedy breeze, and the Sons of the Desert, a sensational troup of acrobats and tumblers, complete the exceptionally fine arrangement of vaudeville billed to usher in the big holiday week More real treats in stage and screen offerings are due when the bill changes on Thursday.
