PALACE-"The Marriage Maker.

The film attraction at the Palace
this week, "The Marriage Maker" is
not a prosaic drama of modern So
ciety, as might be guessed from the
title In fact, 1t is quite the contrary.
for the realm of gnomes, fairies and
sprites has furnished the leading
character, and the spectator is asked
to reason not, but only to enjoy this
fanciful story which is woven from
gossamer threads of unreality.
The marriage maker is faun who
has bid a reluctant farewell to his
companions. the nymphs, in the old
Italian garden where they dwell. that
he may follow group of mortals and
teach them to marry where they love.
Sylvani, as the faun is called, finds
one of these mortals about to shoot
himself because of debts which even
a prospective lucrative marriage can
not cancel. The whimsical is turned
into the ridiculous when the creature
makes a proposition that he will pick
the winners at the races and make
fortune for the mortal If he, in return,
will teach him the arts of modern So
ciety. Imagine faun donning a dress
suit and poking in his long, furry tail
with difficulty. Also picture him ca
vorting about the cold formal halls
of an English ancestral mansion, Slid
ing down the banisters, bouncing up
and down on the lounges. dancing
along the corridors, rolling. on the
floors and playing with the mice
which his trained eyes discover.
OF course these antics distress the
English lord nightly, but the money
which pours in from the faun's in
faIlible tips In sufficiently acceptable
to counterbalance the embarrassment
he occasions. His matchmaking is as
successful as his racing forecasts, and
not only does he persuade the young
heiress to disregard parental instruc-
may marry the man she loves, but he
alse brings mamma around so that
she beams on the runaway pair and
gives complete forgiveness
A comedy, Down to the Sea in
Shoes" and the usual orchestra seiec-
ton complete the program.

COLUMBIA-"The Cheat"

Pola Negri, Jack Holt and Charles

the Columbia in "The Cheat" herald

Fitzmaurice studios. The production
in reality is hardly what one would

screen drama.
The story is that of the spoiled and
extravagant daughter of a wealthy
South American, who seeks to marry
her to his business partner and there
by join the two largest fortunes in
the land. The business partner is the

Constantinople, April '1i.-Most Of
the Anatdlian newspapers welcome
the Chester project for the economical
development of Turkey ON The ground
that it will help to establish friendly
relations with the United States. "the
only country which has no political
or imperialistic aims in the Near
East"
Admiral Chester's initialj project
has been greatly modified ard from
building railroads in Anatoais it now
undertakes to reconstruct VIRTUALLY
the whole economic. and social life
of Turkey. According to Clayton
Kennedy, representative of die Ches-
ter group, the concern prom Used the
nationalist government to build "rail-
ways and towns, introduce ID e electric
light IN practically all the v illages in
Anatolia, make golf courses, construct
gymnasiums to give thevhey y Turkish
generation q chance to develop an
athletic nation and to build up to
date hotels at Thermal and climatic
resorts" aeM teF 4
Or in other words transform
Anatolia within 20 years. from a half
savage country into the for emost CIV,
ilized state in the. Near Et st.
The TOWING will be reproduction
of the small American towns while
Angora will be a reproduction of

the Chester group will co mime its,
activities to finding financial supporta
for building a network Of more than
1000 miles Of railroads onnecting
the eastern vilayets of Anal Ola with

The project seems very daring, de-I
manding an investment tof several
hundred million dollars in n eastern
