for South Bend has created quite
stir in local theatrical circles. Con-
trolling the Oliver as they do the
com bination policy OF feature photo
plays and vaudeville will be given a
thorough trial during the present
dearth of road attractions. What
effect this experiment viii have on
the policy Of the new Palace theater
now under construction is yet to
be determined.
That the combination policy of
vaudeville and pictures has been
unusually successful in recent sea-
sons is evidenced by the popularity
Of the State-Lake. Chicago, and
Loew's state, on Broadway, both the

structicn and capacity. Hundreds
Of other so-called legitimate thea
