SNAPSHOTS OF 1927
 AT NEW PALACE
It's Going to Be Great So
 They Say

Local theatergoers will do well to bear in mind that an elaborate pro- duction of Tommy Levene's Snap shots of 1927" under the personal direction of Tommy Levene will be the offering at the New Palace for the entire week starting Monday. This brilliant and musical comedy gives evidence of proving the most popular and successful musical comedy entertainment of this de- cade.
 Tommy Levene's Snapshots of 1927" have been elaborately staged and lavishly costumed. In this carefully chosen cast are Tommy Levene, Bert Lewis, Madeline Buck ley, Alyce Burke, Allie Lewis, Her. bert Swift, Freddie Henpenny, Will liam Walsh including a large beau- ty chorus of real singers and danc- CTS. The brilliance of it's musical score, which teens with seemingly irresistible numbers finely orches- trated together with appeal and merriment of original story makes Tommy Levene's Snapshots of 1927" the best bet of the season.
 There will be an entire change of musical comedy and pictures on Thursday.
 The feature picture for this pro- gram is What Fools Men" with Lewis Stone and Shirley Mason. Logical story development and strikingly life-like characterizations make this picture play easy to fol- low. What Fools Men" is an ab- sorbing pictorial narrative of dom- inant personality who could only be affected by his own flesh and blood that is Joseph Greer as he is pie tured on the screen and played by

Lewis Stone.
 What Fools Men" answers the question, Can father take a moth- CTS place? Can he guide her as mother would? And would young girl believe what a father told of things that are seldom discussed?
 Shirley Mason in the role of the daughter gives an admirable per formance that is worthy of the star who is making rapid strides to the top.
 There will be two shows Sunday night. a double feature program. The companion feature being Ca mile of the Barbary Coast" with Mae Busch and Owen Moore.

$12,5OO,0OO Gift Proves Faith
in American Music.

The recent gift Of $12,50o,o00 as a
permanent endowment of the Curtis
Institute Of Music, in Philadelphia, by
Mrs. Edward Box, wife Of the maga'
zine publisher, opens. a new era Oh
development to musical talent IN
America. The appointment of JOSEF
Hofmann as director-in-chief OF the IN
stitute is an indication of the serious
purpose of the work, and Is an assur-
ance that the annual income of $780,
600 derived from the fund will be WISE
ly spent.
Mr.. Hofmann has announced his
policy of administering this fund,
which goes beyond anything that has
ever been done for the advancement
of music. Not only are students given
personal instruction by the highest
type of masters, but provision is also
made for every other need. Financial
aid will be given to poor students to
enable them to live properly; grand
pianos and other musical instruments
will be furnished rent free to. those
who cannot afford their own; and the
cost Of embarking on a professional
career will be financed by the institute.
In addition, exceptionally gifted stu
dents will accompany their masters
for continuous instruction during the
Summer months, all travelling and liv-
ing expenses being met by the in
stitute.
Among the teachers surrounding
Mr.. Hofmann, who is himself the head
Of the piano department. are Nine.
Marcella Sembrich, Moriz Rosenthal,
Carl Flesch. Rosario Scalero, Carlos
Salzedo. Felix Salmond and Louise
Bailly. The Curtis Institute of Music,
which has been in existence for three
years. has already produced num-
ber Of successful concert soloists and
symphony players. It is not an ex-
clusively American institution, as a
] large number of Europeans are en-
rolled among its student body.

1.-The Song of the Flame" the tune
full George Gershwin and Herbert
Stothart work, setting new high
mark for receipts with $3S,000 taken
in durin the seven performances the
first week in July.
Only moderate success in New
York and a few Eastern cities, "The
Song f the Flame" proved so popular
open-air municipal theater that the
receipts exceeded those for "Il Trova-
tore" when a special cast of grand
opera stars appeared in the Verdi
opus.
The record is all the more remark.
able when 1t is considered that the
ton price for municipal opera is 80 for
box seats, with reserved seats being
sold for as little as 25 cents. AS a
result Of this popular admission scale
and the large seating capacity of the
Forest Park Theater, more than 55 900
people enjoyed 1.-The Song of the
Flame" almost four times as many
as could see it in one week in the
legitimate theater.
Another significant feature Of the
production was that it llarked the
