THORN TO THE MEsT.n

From prologue to finish Born to the West" the Paramount produc- tion, which opened this afternoon at the Palace theater for the remainder O. this week. proved, if one may judge from comment made by satis- lied patrons, one Of the most enter taining westerns that has come to the screen in many day. No author seems to reflect the real west and the vast open spaces as does Zane Grey. Paramount has adhered to the story and provided cast com posedd of players, who seems to step right out Of the book.
 The vaudeville bill consists of five select acts. The Roma Duo opens the bill with whirl of classy danc- ing that is very pleasing. The Four Pepper Shakers follow with some songs and steps and carry a good portion of the applause away for the show. Seymour and Howard in their comedy skit, goth Century Love-" are very entertaining. Creigh- ton and Lynn in "Follies of the Side Street." and then Clemens Belong & Co. in a comedy circus all their own. combine to make very enter taining afternoon or evening.
