And best of all, Toto comes to the Palace this time in his new act, all offering that has alread won the re- putation of being the best which the world famous clown has devised. Toto has been star in SO man productions and attractions III almost every part of the globe that 1t would require a column of space to mention these successes He is best known in this country owng to his connection with bg revues and severa New York Hippodrome productions, While in England his appearance with the elaborate Christmas shows in London have made him a star throughout the United Kingdom.
 In his new production which is bri1n- med to the edge with brand new Totois1ns the star of all the o1cwns is assisted by a company of ten people, man of whom gve indications of becoming stars them selves. There are ne wc1own stunts, the like of winch have never been, seen on a stage before, there are new laughs, that come a tumble of merriment and above all hre is that originality in the fun making that is distinctive of Toto, the worlds greatest clown.
 Vocal me1odes and catchy tunes on the piano, vioin,g trumpets, trombones and saxophones make up the pleasing and in spring musical routine offered in the acton of Gus Kng's Melody Land. A dash of clever1y played cassical music brings additiona interest to the roper toire of the five talented muscans appear ing in this specially featured offering.
 A galaxy of syncopation takes pro- minerft position on the b1l in the act pre- sented by the O'Brien Sisters and Com pany. With their .cleverness as charac ter singers and delineaters of those teasing blu strains the sisters also possess an appreciation fwit and hun1or that might be expected from perons bearing the name of O'Brien.
 Thomas Swift and Mary Kelly have injected the candy business into vaude vile and are offering comedy confection called "Gum Drops" It is skit and an exceedingly clever one. Those investing in the particular brand of gum drops distributed b Mr. Swift and Miss Kelly will indeed find them a toothsome comedy morse. MT. Swift is a comedian in keeping with his name and as rapidity is the kepnote of farce he is perfectly at home n the fastest moving pace Miss Kelly is thoroughly sharnning in both her work and appearance and in the fun

THINGS
UNUSUAL
FANEUIL HALL

1924. western Newspaper Union.)

Faneuil hall, named for Peter
Faneuil, public-spirited citizen and
Huguenot, who, having decided that
Boston needed town hall in which
to hold public gatherings, and mar
ket place, commenced the construc-
ion of building 76 feet square which
combined these features, and present
ed it to the city in 1742.
Twenty years later, the interior
was destroyed by fire, but was prompt
ly rebuilt and dedicated to the "Cause
of Liberty"
The present building goes back to
1905, when it's size was increased to
80 by 100 feet and an additional story
added. The upper floor is used now
as headquarters and a museum by
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company Of Massachusetts-said to
be the oldest military organization in
the world. Among the priceless relics
is flag used in 1868 by this organiza-
ton. The second floor contains the
hall which may be used as public
meeting place by any group Of citi-
zens, free of charge, on request to the
city authorities.
During the Revolutionary war peri
cd, Faneuil hall was the scene of
many tense gatherings. The hall was
used as place of amusement and
entertainment by the officers Of the
British army in 1775 and 1776 Ever
since the Revolution, it has been a
popular gathering place and noted
place for the holding of meetings,
banquets and receptions. Its walls
have echoed the voice of Daniel Web
ster, Wendell Phillips, and many other
famous patriots of the time.
Situated adjacent to the old State
house, and huddled in between mod
ern Office skyscrapers in the heart Of
the business center of "Old" Boston,
this comfortable-looking structure of
colonial design, bearing evidence of
advanced age, is possessed of dig
nified appearance and a quiet charm.
A plan is now afoot to rehabilitate,
fireproof, and "dress up" this venera-
able hall and thereby preserve its
original beauty for another generation
or two at least. While this work is
in process, the wooden awning-like
sheds which now disfigure this land
mark of we olden times" will be dis
mantled and replaced by an iron YER
anda with glass roof.
