AT THE NEW p1IACr

The program at the New Palace for the last half of this week is really an excellent one. The yaude- vile consisting of five acts is very entertaining and the feature picture The Rainmaker" is one Of the best pictures of the season.
 The vaudeville is opened by the Mckcnna Trio who are very pleas. ing in their presentation of songs and dances and the playing Of vari- ous instruments. NcWis and Maxine youngsters but thorobreds of the stage carry off a considerable round Of applause with their comical antics that are well taken by the audience. Sam Liebert and Co. in their sketch, "The End Of the World" contains an excellent singing pro- gram by Amy Atkinson and clever dancing by Hal Tagscrt and these two make ideal foils for the splendid characterization of Sam Liebcrt. Al. ton and Allen with their eccentric dancing and wise cracks give the audience good reason for laughter. The Arley group hold the attention throughout their thrilling balancing feats.
 The feature picture "The Rain maker is a poignant human drama. graphically developed conyincingly portrayed and intclligently directed "The Rainmakor" contains all the requirements of a real big picture. There are thrills, suspense, romance and a strong under current Of humor, in this gripping story which has for its background a picturesque race track and a little border town in the South west.
 William Collier Jr, makes the jockey an appealing figure. He 7rouses genuine sympathy because he plays tn" role with conviction.

You're mistaken, my friend.
Fairy tales do not lie. They tell
the most valuable truth. They
portray world of beauty and
light, of heroic bravery and ro-
mantle love. of black magic and
white miracles. a world wherein
psychic forces may be seen
plainly at work without the veil
OF materialism which blinds the
sight of older folks to their real
ity.
The child needs to inhabit this
world of fancy. Unless he does
inhabit it during his plastic years
his spirit is starved and warped.
And 1t is impossible for us with
our darkened vision and stiffened
tongues to give him this expert
ence. He must get 1t through
another. more sensitive medium.
The fairy tale is that medium.
1t provides food which the child's
imagination can assimiIate, food
which Is as delicately adjusted
to his tender spirit as his diet
Is adjusted to his tender stomach.
