'MISMATES' ID BE
 AT THE PALACE
Drama Is Selected as Popular
 Playhouse Drawing Card
Doris Kenyon and Warner Baxter Co-Starred in Palace Feature.

Co-Starred in Palace Feature.
 A film drama that will tug at the heart strings and leave an indel- those who see 1t is "Mismates, |" which opens up at the New Palace tomorrow night for four-day run.
 In "Mismates" Doris Kenyon is at her best. In her present role she is called upon to perform some highly emotional acting. Warner Baxter, who plays opposite Miss Kenyon, is splendid in his role.
 "Mismates" is an unusual picture in many ways. First the story Is a gripping one and has wide ap- peal. It is beautifully photographed, well directed, and the acting is be- yond criticism. Then there is some of the most gorgeous spectacles in it that one could see on the screen. There Is a dashing jewel parade, There is a banquet hall scene that is simply amazing in its brilliance.
 She is a manicurist. He, the son of a wealthy family. They met and loved and married. But there was the barrier of wealth that opposed their happiness. He loved his wife. But he was an idler and he needed money to keep idle. They told him that he was too good for her and the fool believed them. And here is where Doris Kenyon is called upon to give the greatest perform ance of her career. From this point the story works up to a thrilling climax that is remarkable. It's wonderful.
 Philo Mccullough as the heavy does very good work. Mae Allison is as always, delightfully."- charming. Charles Murray is as funny as ever.
 "Mismates" is & picture that has found universal appeal wherever it has been shown.
 The regular f1ve-act vaudeville bill will be on the program for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the Guy and Pearl Maglcy Revue.
 Sunday there will be two shows and two features. On the same pro- gram with Doris Kenyon and War ner Baxter in "Mismates" is The Cats Pajamas." The title was chosen because 1t accurately de- scribes the situation in the delight ful story. The picture stars Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez and fea- lures Theodore Roberts. The film concerns Betty Bronson. a little seamstress, taking care of her in valid father. She has a cat, Tom my, for whom she makes small pair of paiamas. Hence the title.
