Palaces Big Comedy.
'sThe High Cost of Loving" is the
big threeact comedy to open tonight
for weeks run at the Palace, as the
Associate Players production. The
play brings out that element of inhu-
| manity, of incongruity which is in
herent in all anti-vice crusades. and
capital farce is made of it. Twenty
five years before the play opens, the
danseuse of "a Black Crook com
pany has visited Milwaukee and played
havoc with the hearts of at least four
of the young men of the town. Since
that time, under the threat of exposure
she has succeeded in extracting month
ly tribute from each of them. Each
believes himself the father of her son.
Meanwhile the anti-yice crusade has
struck the town. All -four" fathers
are active in its work; The eomplica-
tions which follow when each of the
four is held up for an increase in the
monthly allowance, and the despair of
each in turn when he is approached by
strange young man who calls him
father are the source of most of the
fun. The complications are too num-
erous to enumerate. But they occur
with unusual naturalness and spon-
taneity and they are very. very funny.
Two new members have been added to
the Associate Players during the last
week. Carl Lonham and Clara Preston.
both of whom will appear in this
weeks production,
Pantages Vaudeville.

"Extravagance"
In Extravaganza the Metro spe-
cial picture which opens at the AL
cazar theater today for run of three
days, critics agree that May Allison.
the lovely screen star, has a vehicle
fitting her consummately. The picture
has met with one reception-rhat of
unqualified favor. "Extravagance" is
a picture vivid with universal interest,
limning woman who callously de-
manded the worlds best things, while
her husband slaved to earn liveh-
hood: it has scope and appeal far
exceeding anything this blonde star
has essayed in the past.
"Hoid Your Horses"
A unique theme is the basis of the
latest Goldwyn picture featuring Tom
Moore entitled Hold Your Horses"
by Rupert Hughes. 1t comes to the
Alcazar theater for four days, com
mencing Thursday. Here is the story:
From the old country, Daniel Cana
van tom Moore) came to New York
and followed the calling of street clean
ing. One day while on duty he was
run down by carriage occupied by
Beatrice Newness, Naomi Childersl
wealthy society girl, and Rodman
Cadbury, her swell suitor, SO what
nerve Canavan did have was lost and
he took job with a blasting gang.
A red flag was thrust in Canavan's
hand and he was told to keep the traf-
fic back-his first taste of authority
and he grew drunk" on it. He even
went home and gave his quarrelsome
wife dose of her own fistic medi-
cine His growing aggressiveness at
tracted the attention of Jim James. po-
litical boss, and as pupil, Canavan
rose rapidly. 1t was in his new au-
thority of political boss that he next
met the beautiful girl who had run
over him. The subsequent happenings
have been woven into one Of the most
delightful stirring stories ever screened.
"Brewster's Millions"
While most of are struggling along
trying to lay few dollars on the shelf
for a rainy day, along comes n fellow
lion dollars. No sooner has he recovered
