comedy reviews. And 1t is a fine open
irg bill that has been arranged. The
picture stars Tom Moore in "Pawned'

underworld of New York. The pic
ture, however, is not entirely crook
play and has delightful romance
entwined with its exciting episodes.
The Pepper Pot Revue is the sched-
uled entertainment and as the name
suggests, this is a spicy entertain
ment. This company carries a COM
pIete set of scenery and the costumes
provides for its cast of principals and
chorus arc as attractive and neat as
any seen here this year.
Next week Prince Louis De Bour-
bon, otherwise Harold G. Schwarm
and wife will be the big vaudeville
feature attraction. Starting Sunday,
one of the biggest pictures ever play
ed here will be shown. 1t is Rich
Mems Wives" starring House Peters
and other celebrities. 1t will run

west. The supporting cast is an ex-
cellent ane and includes David Powell
and Mitchell Lewis. who have APP
peared many times before in stories
Of Alaska. Miss Dalton is seen as an
Alaskan dance hall girl and is as
equally as good as the role she played
in THE Flame of the Yukon" the
photoplay that brought her out as a
star. Pearl White will be seen in
new episode of her new serial
PLUMBER, which is delighting Palace
patrons every week.

to tell the truth, not many except the
turkeys and the young gobblers paid
any heed to his commands. He
thought it would be very pleasant to
strut about and give orders to Grand

pecially expected to enjoy was making
General Gander mind him.
On the morning when he was to
take Grandma Coose's place at the
head of the flock, Turkey Proudfoot
woke UP long before dawn. He
reused his flock of turkeys before the
