 The committee of the Council in charge of the event has worked hard and faith fully to put it across successfully and last night was authorized to call on such other help as desired during the week. Many volunteers have already offered their services and with the thousands who will be present turing the week, judging from the advance distribution of tickets, many workers will be needed to care for them.

THE PALACE

Although drawn upon many times to provide the theme of various stage and screen successes never before has the atmosphere of the race track been used to such telling advantage and dramatic value as one sees in "Thun- derclap," the great racing drama which comes to the Palace for an entire week beginning Sunday even ing The thrills, the tenseness, the intense grip with which it holds un- divided interest and it's tremendous element of excitement are features that make this picture just what critics have called it, "the mightiest of racing dramas" As the story is unfolded the experienced picture fol- lower finds himself wondering how a climax is going to be reached, for from the outset the thrills follow so closely that before the picture IS half over 1t seems that the producers have run the full gamut. The climax does come, however, and in way that brings the pictures audiences to their feet. First one is taken through the passages of love story, its principal characters being Mary Car, noted star of "Over the HilP'; ]. Barney Sherry, Paul Willis and Violet Mersereau. The training of the fleet thoroughbred "Thunderclap," the development from the raw colt to king of the track, also forms an interesting period of

the picture. After this part the thrills begin, first the explosion destroying the bridge, the terrific battle in the whirling rapids and the subsequent rescue at the very brink of Niagara. After these tremendous scenes comes the great race itself, a triumph of screen realism. The big and notable novelty that will be introduced at the Palace presentation of Thunder clap" will be the staging of the ex- citing finish of the great race The straining horses on the screen will fade into an actual race scene on the stage in which living horses will be seen completing the finish of the race.
 A vaudeville brilliant and lively has been selected to support the great racing picture. Malia, Bart and Com pany, famous baggage smashers, are comedians with a proven laughing value. Arthur Angell and Violet Fuller in Music and Chatter" sure have 1t, while a musical treat is the Hegedus Sisters, premiere vio1inists. Will J. Ward, an artist at the piano and comedian when 1t comes to tell ing story, will just hit the spot. Mortimer MacRea, clever and daring cycl1st as we'll as a high class come dian, and Gertrude Clegg, champion lady cyclist, provide an act of wide variety.
 There vii be an entire change of vaudeville program on Thursday.
