PALACE-Wallace Reid in
"Thirty DAYS"

The crowds that filled Loew's Pal
ace Theater to capacity yesterday
laughed at the pictured predicaments
of Wallace Reid, seemingly obliyious
to the fact that the picture was his
last. Perhaps there were a few VINO
felt twinge of sadness as they
watched the actor who delighted with
so many bright. wholesome picture
comedies. but the general mood of
the audience seemed gay.
Thirty Days was based on high :
ly improbable scenario. but some of
the situations are amusing. Wallace
Reid. as John Floyd, is fiapper-

flock continually buzzing around pat
ting his coat, adjusting his necktie
and generally embarrassing him.

she was the only one who hadn't
pursued" Wanda, however. regard
ed the would-be benedict as an in
corrigible fiirt and consented only TO
a tentative engagement for thirty
days If he didn't f1irts during that
time the happy day would be hxed.
OF course, he didn't firt, but his
sympathetic disposition landed MIN
in a scrape the second day. WANDA
had induced him to help her in settle
ment work, and cur hero was at
tempting to console an Italian girl
when her husband walked in and
tried to knife him. A wooden table
served as an improvised shield until
Wallace reaches his motor, but the
danger is not over. for the fiery 1tal-
ian has vowed revenge. A friendly
Judge decided that the only safe
refuge for the marked man was in
jail. so he sent him up for thirty
days "as d special favor" The plot
thickens when Wallace finds his
enemy has preceded him and is also
a. guest "in the cooler"
OF course, eventually he finds peace
and happiness again.
The Palace Orchestra played two
popular novelties, "Swanee Smiles
and "Nola," and the audience seemed
to highly appreciate that part Of the

Newman's Traveltalk.

"Congo to Victoria Nyanza," as de-
scribed and pictured by Newman last
night at the National Theater, repre-
sented the third stage of his trave-
logue tour across Africa-a journey OF
1000 miles.
The Belgian Congo, supposedly the
darkest spot in darkest Africa, was
shown to have it's miniature Paris;
it's village life, and, thanks to engi-
neers, some of them Americans, its
hard but wholesome work in the
rich copper mines, lightened by the
progress of modern methods. For

from clean man strikes deep in the
heart of LiZette, and to the salvation
of Lane from the wiles Of Hassan and
Barthampton she sets her aim. 1t is
she who discovers the plot against Lane

arrival Of the hosts Of Ell Kasar. But
She is not too late to release him from

Just why a man falls in love with a
selfish, whimsical, irresponsible piece of
femininity instead of letting his affec-
tions fall upon so stancl and faithful
a creature as the self-sacrificing Lizette
is one Of the true-to-life puzzles that
mankind will perhaps never solve. The

STRAND-"Spring Is Calling"

Nearly every act on the program at
the Strand Theater this week pre-
sents wholesome comedy and good
entertainment. The photoplay fea-
ture, "The Cowboy and the Lady"
with Mary Miles Minter and Tom
Moore in the leading roles, is also
of exceptional quality.
Leon Kimberly and Helen Page are
the headliners in the vaudeville bill

an amusing skit. The two were re-
called many times.
