SCRATCH MY BACK" AT PALACE THEATER SUNDAY

T. Roy Barnes, the comedian, mak' ing his debut in motion pictures in the new Rupert Hughes comedy. Scratch My Back" a Goldwyn Elm inent Authors production, which comes to the Palace Theater for two days, commencing Sunday, has dis covered that scratching is splendid form of exercise. However, he adds, it is not wise to stare off too stren- uously. MT. Barnes found his first few weeks in picture work rather trying, due to the frequency with which he was called on to scratch his back-or rather to try to scratch it, and his arms got so sore that he could hardly move them. Further more, the accompanying twisting gave him pains in the side.
 "Pll say this is hard work" he confided. to his director, Sidney Ol- colt, after his first few scenes were taken. "If keep up this scratching business much longer I'll be able to do contortionist act in vaudeville, that is providing survive long enough to complete the picture and get back to New York

TAYLOR HOLMES AT THE COLISEUM IN A COMEDY

Taylor Holmes, famed for his work in light comedy on both screen and stage, will appeal perhaps to even the most dormant sense of humor in his latest picture, It's Bear" at the Coliseum tonight.
 There's humor in the very sug gestion that this urbane star is pre- sented in the environment of the Western rough -and-ready.. The idea of the polite comedian being isolat ed from all refinement is mirthpro- yoking in itself, and the patrons of the Coliseum who expect to laugh will not be disappointed.
 The story-well, it's tells of the gloved gentleman from Boston, a naturalist, who invades the West to investigate the stealing of his fathers sheep. He soon discovers that the same factors which enabled him to solve the problems of the insect world lead to his mastery ol the scheming ranchmen. Then Or lando makes progress!
 The ranchmen thought him a mol lycoddle. He smiled. They thought one drink would finish him.. He smiled. They thought they could "beat him to it." But he was ur first that morning-hunting bugs Unexpectedly Orlando turns out tc be more than a regular fellow. "He's bear," and he triumphs.

The latter uses his sisters sweetheart, unbe known to him, as. a means of getting his loot to his agent. When the hero is apprehended by the law, the stol. en diamonds are found upon' him, and he serves jail sentence rather than betray the girl But every thing turns out happily eventually.

LAST CHANGE TO SEE
 NEW hHYLAND PICTURE

The story of the sinister power that villainous hypnotist exerts over an innocent young girl and the ruin it almost brings to the life of beautiful Quakeress, is told with telling effect in 'Black Shadows, 7 the new William Fox photodrama with Peggy Hyland in the leading role, which closes it's engagement to- night at the Palace Theater.
 This play affords very interest ing study of the power one human mind may have over another 1t shows also that "circumstantial evi. dence" cannot always be relied upon It is play which makes people think, yet entertains in most de- lightful way.
