THE PALACE.

THE PALACE.
 On the Palace bill of vaudeville, opening Monday afternoon for stay of three days at the handsome house, two aqts of the most attractive calibre dividef headline honors. It might be said that the theatre playing the aver age vaudeville show would be quite content with either one of these acts slider the matter settled. Such pol sider the matter setteld. Such pol icy does not apply to the methods fol- lowed in booking Palace attractions, so here is a. bill topped by double headline offerings.
 The first of the duo of the big acts is Mabel McCane and Comuany in. that very fine six scene musical TO- nance, Will O the Wisp." When Mabel McCane was a musical comedy star she was known as "The Darling Star" Certainly, sweeter, eleverer or more winsome bit of feminipity twinkling steel illuminary. Miss Nc line of entertainment. She is a sing ing comedienne ranking with the best on the American stage; shells a 1egi- innate comedienne, capable of playing drama and her acting ability even &l- lows her to touch the more tragic roles. Edwin Burke had Miss Mo Canes many accomplishments in mind when he provided her. with the new vehicle, Will O the Wisp" The leading critics have passed upon the act as being one of the very fine things of vaudeville Scenically "Will O the Wisp' leaves nothing to be de- sired. The cast supporting Miss McCane in the act is composed of quintet of very clever boys. . The second of the duo of headline features IS no less an attraction than Shura Rulowa and her justly famed Russian Ballet There may be vast differences of opinion about Russia politically and economically but from terpsichorean standpoint the world is one in the belief of her supremacy. When 1t comes to ballet dancing Rus sia is undoubtedly supreme. One of the great Russian dancers to gain artistic recognition in America is Shura Rulowa" In her present act Miss Ruolwa is assisted by quintet of perfectly trained dancers forming one of the best performing pallets that has been seen on the vaudeville stage.
 Fred Walton and Mary Brant are one of the acts selected to appear in support of the brace of headliners. These two clever entertainers present a conversational skit which they have given the title of Huh" x
 Novel ideas are the motor revolving the wheels of amusement, especially in vaudeville. Jean Granese, known as The Unusual Songstress," is rid ing in one of these motor driven vehicles that is rapidly carrying her to vaudeville distinction. First of all Mss Granesc caf1~sing, and then that different way she has of presenting her offering is where the uusualness comes in.
 (Which Is WhichT is good thought for the naming of comedy skit, especially the one which War dell and La Costa use to put vaude- ] vile audiences in q merry mood. 1 "The Pantomime Comedian and ; Bubble Girl' Is the titular combina-
 ton under which Frank and Clara La
 Tour are known. Mr. La Touf Is a
 pantomime fun maker of the most
 nischievous sort and his antics, per
 formed while Miss La Tour goes ] through d startlingly clever routine ot juggling and object manipulation adds loads of comedy to the natural l interest aroused over the unusual dex- ! terity of the pretty little lady.
 Surely a screen drama whose cast is headed by such noted and capable 1 players as Carmel Myers, Vim. P
 Carleton, Vernon Steele and Joseph l J. Bowling must carry with 1t dra- matic strength that cannot fail of ap- preclat1on on the part of theatre 1 goers It is a cast of such strength that appears in The Danger Point which has been selected as the Pal ace screen feature for Monday, Tues day and Wednesday of the coming ! week
 The Palace bill for the last three days of the week, beginning Thurs day, represents another demonstra- ton of vaudeville strength. The acts on the bill coming with the regular midweek change of program are the Dolly Davis Revue; Stone and Fran cis in "The Rolling Stone" Edith May Sapes and Company in The Heart of Maid"; Berk and Saun, creators of snappy steps; Franklyn and Hall in "Bum-Teay" and Gordon sand Rica, clever cyclists.
