 AT THE PALACE

The thrills of the steeplechase, some very funny situations. a pretty girl jockey and an air of delightful romance are the principal factors in the success of "Racing Blood'' which is now playing at the New Palace.
 The picture it may be stated is a refreshing change from the usual race track story. It has all the thrills one expects on melodrama of this type plus the modern style of light frivolous sophistication so typical of the youth of today.
 The companion feature for this program Is one of the funniest comedies that Raymond Griffith, the high hat comedian, has yet appeared in. When you see Raymond in He's a Prince" the title of the pie ture, you'll readily admit that he's a prince. As a young and exceed inngly likeable prince of modern times Ray, whose life is an endless chain Of cornerstone layings. parade reviewing. ship christenings, etc; declares a strike for shorter hours and more fun. He can't quit, so he decides to run away. In his attempt, he meets and needless to say falls in love with Mary Brian. And from then on the fun starts.
 War Paint" heralded as the greatest Indian thriller of all times will be at the New Palace for the last half of this week starting Thurs day. Another big picture booked for the Palace starts next Sunday, Rose of the Tenements."
