The Connecticut labor news., 1924-03-01

Returning to its orignal and very pop t1lar policy the Palac on Monday, Tues day and Wednesday offers six acts of Supreme Vaudeville and the much talk ed of Paramount production Big Bro ther" as its screen attraction.
 In visualizing this story Paramount has placed upon the screen a vibrant, gripping and interesting version of one of the strongest stories written by Rex Beach, an author noted for the strength quality and originality of his writings. Big Brother" received unusual attei1- ton when first published i'll Hearsts Magazine while in the form of a photo drama 1t has drawn the most common datory remarks from leading writers on things dramatic.
 Big Brother" is an altogether un- usual picture. First of al 1t has recorded on cel1uloid the real strength and ab- sorbing story that makes 1t one of Rex Beach's best efforts and then again 1t depicts graphically what the Big Brother Movement is endeavoring to accom- plish throughout the world the proper raising of the boys and youths-the fu- ture men of the land on whom the desti- ny of their country rests.
 From a dramatic standpoint Big Brother" is we'll nigh a perfect picture. There is mo tagging of action or inter est, there are little side lights of com edy that, while they amuse and sweeten the serious with laughter, serve to en- phasize the heavier and more dramtic moments. The story was evidently writ ten from the heart and as photo dra- ma it has strong, undeniable apeal.
 The cast is composed of Tom Moore as Jerry Donovan" Edith Roberts as Kitty Costello and little Mickey Ben nett as "Midge Murray. Other play CTS apearing in prominent supporting roles are Raymond Hatton, Charles Hen derson, Joe King, Paul Panzer and Neil Kelly. ...f
 The. program of acts for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday carries with 1t a guarantee of absolute satisfaction for vaudeville lovers. Prominent among these little vaudeville gems is "Oh Teddy" an offering which its producer terms a comedy of love and lingerie. Billy House, whose comedy attaiments are of the infectious order, heads the cast in this act. Comedy girls figure largely in the comedians support. The action of the comedy takes place i'll a Fifth Avenue lingerie shop and here takes place tangle of hearts that causes a flood of smiles and laughter to pour in a flood over audiences.
 Education Will Out" is real trump card in vaudeville's comedy pack. In this fun game .Robey and Gould are the ton of pithy patterings is clean cut distribution of wit.
 The Cevenes are wire walkers and right at the top of thir class in there chosen form of entertainment. They pre- sent an original conception which they call Tn A Paris Cafe," One of the fea- lures of this offering is the ensemble numbers all performed on the wire, and executed with surprising like precision. Many of the feats performed are also extremely desiring and the element of sensation plays an important part in the success of the act.
 Billy Du Va land Merle Syrnonds have blended a whole series of domestic up-sets into a comedy winer under the little of "Her Father" Unusually 1t is the mother in law who furnishes the comedy subject matter but Du Val and Symonds have switched the interest to papa and the results are 1aughingly suc- cessful.
 Singing exceptionally well Morris and Flynn succeed in providing an unusually fine little act in their cycle of smart songs. Jack Powell's Sextette of syn copating harmonists are sure to give this dandy show flying start. Jack Powell, feature of the act is considered the c1e- verest trap drummer in the profession.
 There will be the usual complet change of bill on Thursday.
