MICHAEL STROG0FF
 AT THE PALACE
Will Be Shown for Entire Week
 Starting Sunday

Michael Strogoff" has come to the screen at last. This masterpiece of the most imaginative writer of the nineteenth century, Jules Verne. who gave to the world Twenty Thou sand Leagues Under the Sea- Round the World in Eighty Days" "The Blockade Runner" The Mys- terious Island" "The Green Ray" and others well known to lovers Of fast adventure tales, seemed destined to be filmed from the days of the first motion pictures, but the difti- culties of production always loom ed up menacingly. It took the cour- age of the Societe des Cineromans, the famous French company which also produced "Les Miserables," to meet all obstacles and surmount them in a truly masterful manner.
 Michael Strogoff" was written and first published in Paris in 1876. Verne was already immensely pop ular in England and America, and so shortly after his latest work appeared in France 1t was trans- lated into English and brought out in London and the United Sttaes.

HEROES OF NIGHT l LYCEUM THRILLER
Companion Feature Comedy "When the Wifes Away"

Fire" and there in two words is the foundation of Heroes of the Night" the big photo classic which opens at the Lyceum tomorrow night on the same bill with "WlHen the Wife's Away" {. smashingly funny comedy drama starring Dorothy Revier.
 Heroes of the Night" is big spectacular melodrama offering an assortment of thrills. romance and pathos. Cullen Landis as the fire fighter and Rex Lease as his brother the policeman enact many heroic roles while Marion Nixon is the winsome Miss who is the innocent cause of fraternal conflict. The pro- ducers of this picture have supplied two big fire fighting incidents each of which called for the entire re- sources of big city fire department and each of which entails spec tacular rescue. The story deals with two brothers, Tom, policeman, and Joe, fireman. who live with their wildwood mother. Each un- known to the other is in love with the same girl and when they discov- CT the fact their brotherly love turns to hate. The policeman, by daring rescue, earns a big reward and his discouraged brother decides to give up both girl and fire department job but as he is leaving the city he hears the fire alarm. Rushing to the scene he beholds his owl, brother in danger and then comes his daring rescue. The romance is artfully handled when it becomes evident that Tom really is in love with another girl and Mary actual ly cares for Joe. Thus all ends happily and both brothers are 'rHeroes of the Night"
 George Arthur plays opposite Dorothy Revier in When the Wife's Away" which is a laughable tale of a young couple who skimp along on a meagre income and suddenly come into a fortune which has the we'll known string attached to it. This provides that both must have made good" before they can col lect. They launch deception to fool the executor of the will and the en- suing complications involve friends, relatives Chicago crooks and finally the police. It's a scream.

LAKE WAWASEE
is BEAUTY SITE
Wealth of Fish Sport in Its
Clear Waters.

The Tavern provides the environ
ment of a comfortable home amid
a cool summer climate in the deep
woods on the shore of Lake Wawa-
see, largest of Indianas many lakes.
and long known to fishermen and
campers as a spot Of unusual sport
ing advantages and rare natural
beauty.
Lake WawaSee, with the splendid
contour of its wood shore line. its
waters clear as crystal, its wealth
of fish, its unlimited scope for all
kinds of boating, the cool breezes
that sweep in from its waters, and
the wonderful cloud and sunset eff
fectS that hover over it, is a con-
slant delight.
In front of the Tavern it has been
especially kind to man by providing
a sandy beach receiing so gradual
ly that even babies may battle with
safety and the staunchest swimmer
easily finds his favorite depth.
The Tavern, with its accompany
ing cottages, stands on a great
wooded knoll rising from the waters
edge and literally equipped with in
viting seats. The grove and the
shallow beach make an ideal play
ground for children, and children
are welcome.
The season proper is from the
middle of June to the middle of Oc-
tober, but fishermen may come as
early as April 1.
