Helen Stanley is left the widow OF

whom she has had to humor and obey

who are ready to go to college have
been brought up to honor and respect
their mother only so long as she

through the unexpected success of
some of her fathers business deals, is
given sufficient funds by him to put

PALACE-Dorothy Dalton, in
"Fogbound.'

Dorothy Dalton has always been
popular, ever since the early days of
the motion picture industry. for she
seems able to express all shadings of
emotion on her mobile countenance
and look intelligent as well as beauti-
full. She is starred in a lively melo-
drama, with many comedy touches,
this week at the Palace Theater.
"Fogbound' has all the beautiful
scenery of Florida that one might
wish to see and the story is original
in that its heroine is not a spoiled
darling of society, but a level-headed
young girl living with her father, a
revenue officer. on an orange farm.
Miss Dalton has an excellent foil in
the Characterization of the society
Follies beauty, in a wonderful blonde
wig.
David Powell is the rich young
sense of what is valuable in life even
though he has been brought up in the
environment of those who prefer a
highly artificial existence.
This is another of the pictures that
would be spoiled for future audiences
II the plot were revealed in advance.
Suffice 1T to say that il is a thrilling
detective story with a surprise at the
end which, while not novel, is very
well worked out in this particular in
stance.
The comedy, Roaring Lions on a
Steamship" takes the spectator around
circle of ludicrouS happenings, but
does not strain ones imagination or
emotions. Pathe News and Topics of
the Day complete the program.

until the master triumphs and the
fallen victim is left to snow ana
darkness.
The action shifts to Paris in the
early days of the world war FOR the
second part of the film. and scenes
on the boulevards while the youth
of the nation was mobilizing are re.
enacted before the camera. Great
crowds surge around the builetin
boards. and troops march through
the streets, arm-in-arm with civilian
friends, laughing and making merry
on their way to the Valley of the
Shadow.
However, war bores the Russian
prince, so he hastens to his villa
at Monte Carlo. where he may
have rest, peace and seclusion.
The patio of this villa on the shores $
of the Mediterranean is another
scene Of surprising beauty which
will long be remembered by those
who saw it. Mammoth columns en-
twined with towering vines rise be
tween graceful arches to enclose 1t,
and at the end of the film a Red Cross
floats between two OF them and
nurses and crippled heroes move
along the secluded paths. For the
moral of "Enemies of Women is
that no soul is so base that 1t is past
regeneration, and the selfish noble
man finally bears his burden with
the rest Of mankind, taking his place
in the trenches while his costly villa
is transformed into hospital. And
so it is pointed out that good comes
from evil. and that the terrible
world conflict which brought millions
of heart aches also brought hope and
salvation to many who had lost
themselves and who found new souls
IN the service of humanity.

The first game Monday afternoon

unless those Barons and Travellers
find themselves unable to decide a
winner in the regulation time.
Little Rock is making its first ap-
pearance at Birmingham, and Kid
Elberfeld has brought team to the
Magic City that does not look half as
bad as the Travellers standing in the
rankings would indicate.
In the two games played at Rick

one sided about the series at all. Biz

but was held to a o-5 score In the
second.
Stewart to Pitch.
Walter Stewart will probably pitch
one of the games Monday Wal
ter has been going like house afire
games for the Barons. Joe Dunn
stated Sunday night that Stewart and
Daniels or Bates would do the twirl-
ing for the Barons, but didn't indicate
which game Stewart would pitch.
Red Bates has won for the Barons,
but the opposition has been hitting
him rather hard. However, if Red
was forced to put forth all he has in
stock, it is probable that he, too,
could pitch these three an IL four-hit
affairs. Red may draw one of the
Earonial assignments Monday, in
