LOOKING OVER THINGS
MOSTLY MUSICAL AT PALACE

Things are mostly musical on the
new bill at the Palace. At least
four of the five acts have musical
numbers.
The Beaucafre Sextette is a well
costumed and presented musical Of
fering. The solo as well an the en-
semble work is of a high order.
Their program is selected with a
fine regard Of what a vaudeville
audience can stand in the line OF
better music. The fact is that any
audience can react with ease to the
program of this sextette. Here is
an offering Of genuine merit.
The old divorce gag is used again
by Billy Miller and Company in
THE Sign Post" The old formula
of the lawyer, the henpecked hus
band and the wife. Lawyer tells
Mr.. Henpecked to get a backbone
and pull the caveman stuff on his
wife. Result-no divorce.
An eccentric instrumental offer
ing is furnished by Fitzgibbon and
Mahoney. The eccentric comic gets
some fun out Of the piano. Wyetf
and Wynn have poor singing voices
but the instrumental work Of the
men. especially the harmonica work
saves the act. Preston and Ysobe

Atomic Energy

Lots of talk about atomic energy
and the good it might do If released
and harnessed.
Enough in one pint OF water. we
are told, to drive the Leviathan
across the Atlantic. and enough in
two tons of uranium to furnish heat,
light and power for the city of New
York.
But suppose meh could not har
ness It after they had released it.
what then?
Worse still, suppose some men
used 1t to kill and destroy.
Sir oliver Lodge, who has made
a life study Of this subject, once said
that he hoped men would not dis
cover how 10 release atomic energy
until they had developed sufficient
brains TO use 1t with discretion.

impression cuts big figure.
The opinion that people who can
afford to employ smart lawyers
have better chance of keeping out
of trouble, no matter what they are
charged with, than those who can

PHILIPPINES OPPORTUNITIES

Mexico and oil today! The Philippines and rub
her tomorrow!
There is no doubt that the stuff from which tires
are made is to rival oil in the production of vast
fortunes And there is doubt of the alluring OPP
portunities in the Philippines for the development
of the product
The auto business has become the worlds most
stupendous enterprise even sprpassing United States
Steel, shown by the recent $60O000,000 stock
dividend declared by General Motors.
Great Britain has monopoly on rubber
Every who drives car is thus forced to pay
tribute to England That situation can not continue
indefinitely. The Philippines offer the way out
But before American capital begins an invasion
of the Philippines, the United States Government
should pave the way for it by gaining the unques
tonably good will of the Filipino people
And how could this Government do this?
Why, merely by keeping its solemn pledge to
the Filipinos; by giving them their domestic indie
pendence. That done, the natives doubtless would
aid instead of resisting Efforts to develop the rubber
business there.
This Government should by treaty mutually
arrived at, retain armed protectorate there both
for the beneft-of the Fflipinos and for ourselves
But it is necessary for us to be forever meddng
with the domestic affairs of the natives. we now

Universal Buys Alias the Deacon
in Which to Feature Jean HershOlt

Following hard on the heels of
THE Cat and the Canary" Uni
versal Pictures, Corporation an
nounces the purchase of the popu-
lar stage play. alias the Deacon, .
the Sam Wallach production which
just closed an eight months run in
the Hudson Theater, New York City.
The purchase followed a very
spirited bidding on the part of four
other moving picture producers. The
one consideration demanded, outside
of very fat purchase price, Is that
Universal shall make no picture
from this play until July l. 1921
The reason for this consideration
is the stage engagements already en-
tered into. For instance. alias the
Deacon" will open in Chicago in Oc-
tober with Burton Churchill and is
expected to have every bit as long
a run there as in New York. A
number of other engagements must
also be protected.
Jean Hersholt will be featured
in the principal role, that Of the
reformed crook who takes the part
of the deacon" in the stage piece.
A strong supporting cast will be
chosen and one of Universars most
successful comedy directors will be
assigned to the task Of making the
play into a picture.
t"Alias the Deacon" was written
by John B. Humer and Leroy Glenn
ems. Hymer is remembered as the
co-author of East Is West" with
Fay BANTER, and also the author
of Come on Red" and other popu-
lar playlets which are playing the
Keith and Orpheum circuits.
