RED GRANGE AT PALACE

Red Grange the outstanding name of the sporting world scored a com plete touchdown as star of the screen when he opened up at the New Palace last night in his first production "One Minute To Play" Record breaking crowds turned out to see the prantom of the gridiron expecting to see a football picture with Red scoring few touchdowns and letting it go at that. But what a surprise they got just as soon as the story was unfolded. Instead of 8 mere football game. here was a real college picture as thrilling, dra- matic and romantic as any picture we have seen in many months. And what an actor they found Red to be. It is not too much to predict that Red will soon be one of the most popular of screen stars.
 From the very start of the picture when Red is seen leaving for college until the last scene there is action. thrills and romance all the way through. One could not possibly sit through this picture without cheer ing audibly for Parmallee, Reds alma mater.
 The companion feature for this program is Whispering Wires" If you're after thrills that actually make you feel cold; if you like a

loss of life will be increased,

loss of life will be increased,
 Although broken communication lines and disrupted railroad service make it impossible to learn the full extent of the disaster, enough has been learned to indicate 1t was one of the worst in recent years.
 Narrow Path of Death
 The typhoon coming from the di- rection of the Island of Samar, cut a narrow swath of destruction along it's course and mushroomed out in the southern provinces of Luzon island.
 Here flooding divers and a tidal wave added to the disaster and In the towns of Batangas and Bauan alone there are ITO dead. Reports of damage to property come from as far north as Los Banos, on Laguna bay which is less than fifty miles so tn of Manila. Manila itself was outside the storm area but wire con- munications were severed which pre- vented news of the disaster from becoming known here until yester- day
 Army airplanes were unable to make a landing in the stricken area in Batangas but flew over the stricken district and received mes- sages from the governor of the province telling of the damage done.
 Because of the havoc worked on the railway lines it is xpected that getting into the storm belt with needed relief supplies will be slow.

 piofl1re fo stand ouf in nnemorv

Matthew Betz as the heavy. This is Q picture to stand out in memory as a masterpiece of acting, of heart interest and of perfect background.
 The companion picture presents Betty Compson in "The Belle of Broadway" in which this screen star has her best role since '"The Miracle Man." Herbert Rawlinson is the leading man. This is the type of picture that gives Miss Compson not only a chance for real acting, but also to wear at- tractiyely wonderful wardrobe. She plays the part of a talented young actress in Paris who passes herself off as an old actress reju- venated. She does this, not for her own glory but because of her affec- ton for the former star of a gen. eration ago.
 The latest episode of ''The Fight ing Marine" serial, with Champion Gene Tunney in the leading role, also is being shown together with the news reels and a selected com edy.
