PALACE OFFERS
'DRUS|LLA
ON SCREEN

Elizabeth Cooper's famous story,
"Drusilla with a Million" has been
adapted to the silver sheet and will
be exhibited as the headline attrac-
ton at the Palace this week. In an
absorbing tale the author gives vivid
description of the misery and heart
ache that can be dispellcd by a cool
million dollars when placed in the
hands of a person who really wants
to spread sunshine on lives that know
nothing but shadow.
Eastern critics have pronounced
the film among the finest ever made
and to be more along the conscrva
tive and constructive lines that pic
ture authorities are seeking than any
thing that has found it's way to the
screen in recent years.
MARY CARR IN LEAD.
"Drusilla with n Million" is liken'
ed to Over The Hill' and boasts the
same lovable star in the leading role.
Mary Carr plays the part of Drusilla
and is reported as lettering any per
Torrance she has given the screen
since her notable success in the last
named film.
According to the advance reports
this is a picture of great human inter-
est, and at the same time carries a
wonderful romance. 1t gives keen
insight into the seamy side of life
without at any time making the Sc
quence too severe or overdrawing the
comparison.
There is plenty OF humor in the
scenes that depict the founding of an
Orphans Home in the mansion 10
which the old lady falls Unexpectedly
heir.
UNEXPECTED FORTUNE.
The story is that of an aged wo-
man consigned by an unkind fate 10
spend her declining years as an in
mate of charitable institution where
she is subjected to all kinds of drudg'
cry. Suddenly Dame Fortune takes
another twist at the Wheel of Chance
and places her at the very top OF
the heap.
She devotes her fortune to doing
good for others and the manner in
which she dispenses her favors pro
vide all the thrills and suspense that
could possible be crowded into the
most far-fetchcd melOdrama.
Kenneth Harlan and Priscilla Bon
ner carry the principal supporting
roles and each is credited with re-
markably fine characterizations.
A two reel comedy, the usual Fox
News, Pathe Review and the scenic
reel will complete the program.

SCIENTISTS TAKE STAND TESTIFY
 IN SCOPES TRIAL

DAYTON, Tenn, July 16 (P)-Dr. Maynard M Metcalf, professor of zo- ology, resumed the stand at the open ing of court today in the Scopes evO- lution trial The State made a stren- uous effort to exclude scientific testi- mony as having no bearing on the case, but Darrow stated that the de- fense purposed to show to the jury what evolution is, as they cannot be expected to decide the case intelli- gently unless they have some idea of what it is. Metcalf was withdrawn temporarily as a witness and the jury excluded pending arguments over the procedure.
 William J. Bryan, arguing for the prosecution said: "The only issue this jury must decide is whether Scopes violated the law. To permit the testi- mony of experts would be to substi- ute trial by experts for trial by jury"
 
 Bryan if he did not consider himself an expert, and whether he believed his services on the prosecution would not have weight in convicting the de fendant, to which MT. Bryan replied that possibly such might be the facts, but that the case was not trial of the theory of evolution but trial of the defendant Scopes.
 ! The court took the arguments of the respective counsels under advisement.
 Says Trial is an Outrage.
 NEW YORK, July 16 (P)-Dr. John Grier Hibben, President of Princeton i University, spoke in strong terms to- day when asked for his opinion on the present evolution trial in Tennessee.
 Tt is one of the most outrageous things that ever happened in our i country" Dr. Hibben said. T think that the Legislature will be sustained and Scopes convicted although it is an outrageous law.
 We teach evolution at Princeton, as every respectable university and college teaches it. The people of Ten nessee have been stampeded by Wm. Jennings Bryan. Such law as this in other states will end the freedom of education in the United States, and will confne the curriculum to the be- liefs and theories of state legislators, The whole teaching profession is kept alive by the freedom of what they be- lieve and teach"
 Bryan Arguring Over Demurrer l DAYTON, Tenn, July 16 (P)-The afternoon session of the Scopes trial opened with plea by W, J. Bryan against the admission of scientific tes- timony on the ground it was irrelevant to the issue, which was merely as to whether Scopes did something pro hibited by law.

Something beastly has happened on
our block. It's about that red-headed
Smith girl. The Smiths moved in
three months ago. Family of five
Ma, Pa, Ethel the read-headed one,
and the two little boys. Nobody
knew anything about them. They'd
come from the other side of the state.
But they seemed nice, quiet, friendly
folks and we all liked them. Ethel
especially.
Ethel had a position as secretary
with one of the big bonding houses.
She was one of those sensible, capable
girls that older men like to talk to,
yet friendly and foolish enough to
make herself popular with the young
er set. The women liked her too
she was always doing some nice little
thing for them. Yes, the Smiths GER
tainly seemed a big addition to the
neighborhood.
Then last week Mrs. Edwards sis
ter came to visit her. Mrs. Edwards
sister had lived in the same town with
the Smiths. And what she didn't
know about Ethel! The rest of the
family were all right but Ethel 1T
seems that she'd been in one scrape
after another in high school. The talk
of the whole town after she graduated.
Bright-yes. But simply terrible the
way she acted. Joy riding, drinking,
SmOking-One man after another.
1t ended in one grand scandal when
she was arrested with some other
young people IN a notorious road
house. The other two girls were
strangers and there wasn't any past
record against them. OF course the
brunt of everything fell on Ethel.
1t was a dreadful mess, but it did
seem to sober her. But of course no
one could trust her after the way.
she'd acted. So the Smiths packed up
and moved away. And now here they
were, settled in this Nice Neighbor-
hood, with everyone treating Ethel
just as if she was one of the family
Well, of course, it didn't take Mrs.
Edwards sister long TO bust up a
happy arrangement like THAT. And
now the Edwards have moved again.
Queer reatures-women like Mrs.
Edwards sister. Something shivery
about them. Make you think Of
Bloodhounds somehow.
/ remember as a kid I always want
ed to see a Bloodhound. Out our way
they didn't have any. They just had
hudiies, sheep dogs, fox terriers and
hairless Mexicans. And always /
was thinking of those southern Blood
hounds I'd heard of, with their ro-
mantle little habit Of trailing The Viii
lain to his lair and chewing him to
bits thereafter.
When Uncle Toms troupe came
along 1 thought should have my am
bition gratified. But it seems their
pup had the mango or distemper or
something and the property man had
to do the baying in the wings, which
was Shakespearian but unsatisfactory.

last Mrs. Edwards sister has fulfilled
my hopes. She's the Bloodhound Su-
