financial standpoint
Everything for the dinner was do
mated by members and sympathizers.
The proceeds are $50 which we are

The past few weeks of warm

rapid completion of construction

been made to take advantage OF 1t.
The new hotel has been succeed
during the past few days and now
gives the appearance. from the out

interior the p~lastering work has
been completed and the finishing
work Is well undtS gay. From all
indications this magnificent build

time and ready for occupancy. II is
beyond a doubt one OF the most
beautiful buildings OF its kind in

During the past two weeks there
have been several houses completed

there will probably be more OF them

Again Mr.. O'Neill made no
condescension to the accepted
theory Of the theater that sun
shine must follow the darker
days. Desire" rings down it's
curtain on unhappy people who
see nothing but misery ahead.
This dramatic chapter in the lives
of the New England Cabots Ii
tragedy from beginning to end.
One sees a cross section of a
frame dwelling with the action
proceeding from one room to an
other in the simple household.
Ephriam Cabot and his sons have
lived in complete misunderstand-
ing. Two Of the boys Simeon
and Peter are children by his
first wife, the younger, (Eben),
the offspring of his second help
mate. Simeon and Peter, lured
by the tales Of the California gold
rush finally rebel and cast off
the yoke that binds them to
ceaseless, unremunerative toll.
They go west. The youthful
Eben, chooses to remain because
he nourishes a desire to some
day inherit the farm. Eben's
ambitions are upset when his
father brings home his third
wife, the youthful and attractive
Abbie Putnam.
Abbie has married the aged
farmer, not because OF love, but
because she coyets a home and
such material things as Ephriam
can provide. The moody and soft
Eben, who at first processes an
intense hatred for his stepmother,
is eventually won by her charms
and their Illicit relations come to
a most pitiful climax. The dis
illusionment of Ephriam Is COM
plete.
[ Such is the unpleasant and
powerful theme Of the O'NeilI
opus, and anything less than an
alright cast Of actors would
make it more of drab evening.
Frank McGlynn is the sturdy,
puritanical Ephriam of the play.
He looks the raw-boned, ignorant
intolerant, and in those tense mo-
ments when his emotions and
hopes are barred was superbly fine.
Sharing the honors is Helen
Freeman, a gifted actress. whose
lines are accentuated by her
power of facial expression. How
ard, Merling was the dreamy and
unhappy Eben, and gives a per-
Torrance that ranks with the
best. Frederick knight and James
Francis Robertson, who play the
two older brothers, are also con-
genially cast. The incidental
characters give competent sup
port.

in Desire" although some In the

Columbia this week. the Para
mount production, 1.-THE King on
Main Street" Primarily, this
picture is of the directorial handi-
work Of Monte Bell, Of the local
newspaper profession. He has
done his work well. and turned
out a picture rich in artistry and
action, if not in story. Secondly.
1.-The King on Main Street"
serves to present Adoiphe Menjou
in his first starring vehicle.
Suffice to say it proves Mr..
Menjou capable Of finer things.
The story, adapted from a
stage play, is propelled smoothly
by sheer force of the acting Of a
brilliant cast, the detailed direct
ing and the elaborate scenes and
photography. These high lights
carry it through to a pleasing
bit of romance, not unlike it's
sister Graustark. Now, however,
America, in search of American
money to finance his country's
oil ventures. And quite acct
IDENTIFY he stumb,es upon romance,
tends its flame for one brief
night and returns to his country
to marry a princess. 1t is not
a happy ending, but in it's color,
and perhaps in it's novelty, 1t is
satisfying. Adolphe Menjou is
the perfect lover, the romantic
king, the finished actor. Bessie
Love and Greta Nissen head the
feminine contingent, all beauti-
fully gowned and stunning in
themselves, and adding their full
measure to the sentiment of
pleasing picture.
A mermaid comedy, THE Spot
light" opens the bill, following the
overture. Lige Connley, as much
an acrobat as a comedian, is
slowly and securely finding place
in our hearts for laughter pur-
poses. Then there is the Inter
national News Reel, affording init
mate glimpses into events Of the
day, and including in its repertoire
some thrilling scenes Of a rescue
at sea. However, first interest
reverts back to THE King on
Main Street." another success for
Mr.. Bell and another feather for
Mr.. Menjou. Strictly an eminent

PALACE
StSeyen Keys to Baldpate."

George NJ. Cohan's hilarious
and fascinating stage play, Seven
Keys to Baldpate," is presented
on the screen at the Palace The
alter this week with Douglas Nc
Lean in the star role. The story
of the young author who went to
the supposedly deserted inn to
write a book in twenty-four hours
and the exciting events that
happened to him there is prob
ably too well kown to need repeti-
ton here.
The plot, however, revolves
about the author, his sweetheart,
a band of crooks and an eccentric
hermit. The situations range
from the merely interesting to
the wildly exciting and from
merely funny to the extremely
ludicrous.
There is little wasted motion in
the picture; but there is motion
and plenty of it. The story moves
off with bang and increases to
roar~as it races along.
The two feminine leads are in
the capable hands of Edith Rob-
erts and Betty Francisco, both
comely and both entirely ade-
quate.
Don't Ask Dad" a spirited
Mack Sennett comedy, furnishes
still further laughter.
The Palace Magazine and an
unusually interesting Pathe News
reel complete the program.
