AT THE PALACE THEATRE

Friday and Saturday-"The Devil"
George Arliss in Screen version of
Frank Molnar comedy repeats his
original success. Associated Exhibi-
tors, Inc, have given George Arliss an
opportunity to make his screen debt in
a version of Franz Molnar's "The
Devil" a comedy with which this
finished star of the stage was favor
ably identified some twelve years ago.
In the original work of the biting
humor of the lines had much to do
with its success. In the guise of a
fashionable physician and known as
DR.. Muller, the arch enemy of man
kind is shown amusing himself by
sowing the seeds of suspicion and dis
trust in the hearts of two lifelong
friends and involving the peace and
happiness of their sweethearts in his
evil scheme. By specious suggestion
he poisons the minds of the two men
and almost causes a tragedy. The
| two young women just escape his
snares, the steadfast faith of one of
them in the power of good being the
means by which he is defeated. TAX
, en- on its own grounds, the screen ver-
sion of "The Devil' is a carefully and
effectively produced photoplay that
will interest and please all kinds of
| film patrons. The most effective sets
are those showing the interior of, and
the gateway and entrance to, the home
of Doctor Muller. There is one long
arched passage with the perfectly
groomed figure of the Doctor ap-
| preaching out of the half light at the
back that is remarkably impressive
A sensible restraint is visible in the
handling of the scenes and the entire
picture has been kept upon a COM
mendable artistic level.

Friday and Saturday, "Sheik of

lands of Sahara serve as a vivid and
romantic background for the "Sheik
of Araby," in which the noted star of
the stage and screen, H. B. Warner,
appears as the Sheik, about whom the
song hit "The Sheik of Araby" was
written. Full of thrilling Incidents,
glowing with romance of the desert,
gorgeous in the Oriental trappings of
costumes and sets and swift with ac-
tion, "The Sheik of Araby" promises
to be one of the most popular of all
the ever-enjoyable Sheik stories whose
vogue is sweeping the whole world.

16 CARS WRECKED AT STANTON
Hundreds of Chickens Were Killed and
One Man. John Smith. Hurt.

In freight wreck on the Pennsyl~
vania railroad at Stanton Monday
week 16 freight cars were derailed,
five of them containing live chickens.
The cars were upset and damaged, one
man was injured, hundreds of chick
ems killed, several hundred feet of
track torn up and traffic delayed for a
considerable time. The accident hap
pened about II o'clock. John Smith,
aged 62 years, of MorristOwn, Tenn,
who was one of seven men in charge
of the feeding of the chickens en- route
to a northern market, was hurt. He
was in one of the cars containing the
chickens that left the tracks and
turned over several times. One of his
great toes was badly mashed. The
train, composed of about go cars, was
northbound and was running at be-
tween 40 and so miles, an hour, r is
said. While the exact cause has not
been announced, it is thought that it
was probably due to the flange of a
wheel of one of the cars breaking.
Cars were piled up on all the tracks
, and on each side of the tracks. The
pile up of cars was just south of the
Stanton freight station and not more
than 100 yards below the passenger
station. The remainder of the night
the Pennsylvania trains were run Ovei
the Baltimore & Ohio tracks between
west yard and Bay View, Nd, with
as little delay as possible. The wreck
train was on the scene within a short
time and by o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, July II, rails had been relaid anC
one track was opened, 500 that trains
could move over it slowly, but it tool
all day to- put all the tracks in shape.
