of Johnny Hines in his latest comedy Stepping Along" which sent a large audience at the New Palace into mysteries and almost rocked the walls of the theater at its opening performance this afternoon.
 For Johnny Hines has without a doubt broken the laugh record for all times. He deserves the champion ship comedy belt.
 Stepping Along" has more fast and furious fun to the cubic foot than any comedy that has come this way this season. besides being jam med from opening to fadeout with the color and life of New York s Broadway.
 The companion feature on this program is "The Runaway Express" with Jack Daughcrty and Blanche Mehaffey. The very essence of the romance of railroading has been captured and imortalized on the screen in this picture. Mammoth en- zines virile with pulsating energy. stand panting at sidings, waiting impatiently until the right-of- way shall have been obtained. Striped overalled engineers gaze frequently at their watches and then glance at their train orders. A typical railroad atmosphere has been given the pie ture and very entertaining TO- nance backed by thrills galore make "Thc Runaway Express" one of the outstanding thrillers of the season.
 Amateurs including many local acts are on the bill for this evening.
