YOU despondnet, worried about

Then you should take a large
dose of Keith's without delay.
We say without delay" ad

ably won't see as good a show
as this weeks in a long, long
time.
The audience last night ATas
surfeited with good dancing and
then allowed to laugh itself sick
at Frank Fay and two unpro-
grammed tramps who act with
him. .--4
The headliner, of course, with
out further delay, must be men,
toned. And.Ethen we shall hurry
aong. The headiner. then, is Ned
Wayburn's "Demi Tasse Revue"
It is considerably better, in the
consideration of good taste. girls,
singing and scenery than his last
effort. 1t is a worthy show, fast,
pretty and entertaining.
Then we have Trina Nelson,
dancer, with a pair, of remarkable
eccentric male dancers and a
good jazz orchestra in full dress

And thus we reach Mr.. Fay. 1t
Is long time since we have seen
Mr.. Fay, but we have an idea that
he is much better than he was
before. And with the two young
pseudo-morons who assist him.
his act is riot, veritable and
anything else you want to call 1t.
you'll never see anything fun

Marie Walsh and Frank Ellis
talk a good bit, to good effect,
and do some dancing, but the hit
Of the act Is Mr.. Ellis quaint
recitative song, Ours Is a Nice
House, Ours Is. He rhymes
this line deity with The roof
leaks when the showers is, which
ought to give you some idea.

very pretty and the monkeys very
funny. Ryan and Ryan dance
on shoes and skis, and Mr.. Ryan
would do well to get better COM

and Hudson offer a clever bicycle
act; the gentleman member of the.
cast is a second edition of Joe
Jackson-not an initator. except
in costume and approach. The
Weldanos close with an aerial

PALACE
proud Flesh

If 1t, is getting to be fashion
able to. take, a whack at Holly
wood made films and salaam be-
fore the offerings of the Berlin
and Vienna studios, we fear that
we are frightfully behind the
times.
Now here is a film at the
Palace this week with apparent
1y all the earmarks of a hack
piece of work. The very title
ysProud Flesh" will make the
frf4elligentsia turn away with a
sshudder. And yet we enjoyed 1T
Immensely and could even see
It again. No hope, for us, we
fear.
Sub-titles we are told have be-
come passe. This film is loaded
with them. Breezy, joyful chat
ter throughout. The very first
one reads. "The story opens for
no reason whatever in San Fran
cisco, at the time OF the earth
quake"
The picture is really delight
full. It takes q gentle poke at
many American filluTns that have
gone before, without going over
the line into outright burlesque.
Just imagine a Spanish dandy
hair slicked back, surrounded by
retainers trying to win the hand
of an American heiress, having
as his rival an uncouth but self
reliant plumber. Imagine the
possibilities. The .Spaniard act
ually makes our American hero
look like and act like a sap.
The plumber of course wins the
girl but the Don has the last
laugh. The final scene shows
him riding away in his limousine
consulting the name Of a little
telephone girl down at the st.
Charles"
Eleanor Boardman is the girl
who lives in a house on the
hill with eighty-seven bathtubs.
The Spanish Cavalier is the
dashing Harrison Ford. And he
never has had q better role.
Pat O'Malley does exceptionally
well as the plumber.
A travelogue of Aloha De"
and a Mack Sennett comedy
featuring some playful lions COM
plete the bill, one Of the most
satisfactory we have ever seen
at the Palace.-L. /. p.

SOME ASTOUNDING FACTS GIVEN
AS TO WONDERS OF UNIVERSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--Answcr-
ing the age old question how big is
the universe and what is it like,
Professor Archibald Henderson Of
The University Of North Carolina
has given the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement of science
the following conclusions 10 pond
er:
The universe, in shape, is spheri-
cal following the general IDEAS Of
Einstein.
It's diameter is equivalent TO the
length of 10000 mile ways set end
to end.
It's circumference would require a
ray of light 1,0O0,000,Q0e years to
make its way completely around.
its radius is one million times ten
million times the 93,000,000,0 900
miles distance from the earth to the
sun.
It's weight is equal to that of n
trillion SUNS and the sun is 1900
times heavier than the earth.
These estimated dimensions arc
the results of the latest in mathema-
ties, physics and astronomy. They
are, according to Henderson, con
servative. Tho universe may be
two or three times as large as the
figures indicate and in fact the
most recent computations indicate
that it is.
Einstein, said Henderson, saved
the world from the Newtonian di
Iemna OF infinite universe. a sort OF
island of finite extent surrounded
on all sides by infinite empty space
Such a state of things is repu
gnant to the human mind, since j

WAYS . in search of church members,
a fight has been started in the aris--
tocratic New England Congregation
nal church here. which may end in
the pastor s resignation.
In addition to the charge thN lie
was bringing undesirablcs in the

claim he is modernist'' Ills

tically repudiated the virgin, birth
of Christ.
The edifice is "the mother
church, of congregationalism in
Chicago, with baptismal font
claimed to have been used by the
Pilgrim fathers and members of
"old and distinguished - American
families on its rolls. The church s
council of Is has drawn up reso-
luton suggesting" that their
pastor resign not later than June
80. Rev. Mills has not yet indi-
Gated what course he will pursue.
The pastor, commissioned as ma
ior during the war, mingled too
freely with down and cutters, "spol,e
at meetings of radicals, invited
floaters' and hoboes' to join the
church and held open forums on
employment conditions in the church
