THOMAS MEIGHAN AT PALACE.

Tonight is the last showing at the Palace of "Manhandled" with Gloria Swanson, fine photoplay with Gloria in her greatest character role. Of special interest in the photoplay is the appearance of Ann Penning- ton. the famous Follies dancer, and Brooke Johns, the famous Broadway orchestra leader.
 Thomas Meighan recently demon- strated that there was nothing namby- -pamby about his motion pic- ture acting when he smashed his fist through dresser mirror in a scene for "The Confidence Man." his most recent Paramount picture to be featured here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In breaking this mirror with his first Mir. Meighan took the chance of disagreement that might have caused the end of his screen career. It so happened that he cnly caused severe cut on his right thumb and several bad scratches on his hand. When he smashed the glass, bits of it flew in all directions but luckily none of them struck him in the face.
 Starting Monday for six days, Norma Talmadge will appear in 'Se- crets."

Epidemic of Sleeping
 Sickness Is unabated

London, Sept. 3.-The epidemic of sleeping sickness which began in England and Wales at the beginning of the year shows little sign of abat- ing and its seriousness has been brought home to everybody by the deaths of several well known per- sons among whom was one of Eng lands crack footballers.
 The epidemic has extended with out break from the beginning of February until now, the only re- deeming feature being the compara- lively low death rate. During this period the number of cases in Eng iand and Wales amounted to more than 4,000, the exact number regis tered between February 2 and Aug ust being 4,024.
 The death rate was 12 to 21 per cent as compared with 40 per cent of the cases in former epidemics.
