The headliner on tomor- row evenings program will be steel Preferred" a thrilling and dramatic story of the steel mills in Pittsburgh. The suspense is re- lieved by occasional comedy that none can fail to appreciate. An all star cast headed by Vera Reynolds William Boyd, Hobart Bosworth. and Charlie Murray. was employed in the making of "Steel Preferred The second feature is a dog story called Lightning Wins" and the acting of it's chief character (por- trayed by Lightning, the wonder dog) leaves no doubt in ones mind as to which is the greatest canine appearing before the camera to- day.

CHECKER GIRLS AT
 THE NEW PALACE
Bright "Iab" Show Booked for
 Next Week

Musical comedy will hold the Pal veyors being the Ingalls "Checker Girls" who will appear in bright and tuneful variety offering. The Checker Girls are coming here di rect from the new Commodore the ater, New York. From one of the New York dailies on Thursday morning:
 Al the week the NJ. & s. Com modore theater was crowded to the doors at the performances Of the Checker Girls, presented and head ed by Harry Ingalls,. Twenty-Five people, fifteen girls and ten men. The chorus was chock full of ginger and with Q variety of dances and songs that kept the audience spell bound at all stages Of the perform ances. It was a musical comedy to the nth degree. No musical comedy can be a real success without the comedians and the Checker Girls boasts two of the best funmakerS that have appeared in local the ater. Harry Ingalls, is without doubt the funniest Hebrew come dian that We have seen for some time. Time after time incidents fur nished to show that both of the comedians were men who knew their business While laughter was the predominating feature in the audience there were a few sober , moments when a touching ballad was offered by one or more of the Nocalists."
 From this 1t appears that the Checker Girls have show that is sure to please. The Checker Girls will remain all next week starting Monday and will give an entirely new performance on Thursday.
 The feature picture for the first half program starting on Sunday is one of the mightest dramatic offer ings of the year, Milton Sills in Puppets" Admirers of Milton Sills should not fail to see his lat est production Puppets" This is one of NIr. Sills best screen efforts in many moons.
 Thrilling battle scenes, Milton Stills and Francis Macdonald, battl- ing wildly with each other in a burning building with flaming walls falling all about them, Gertrude | Olmsted standing by watching the two men fight for her while the flames threaten their lives-these are but a few of the thrills that are seen in Puppets -.-r

HAROLD LLOYD
 AT THE CAPITOL
"Ihe Kid Brother" Funniest
 Comedy Yet

"The Kid Brother" Harold Lloyd's new comedy opens a four day en- gagement at the Capitol on Sunday evening and from all reports the picture should be a comedy sensa- tion during it's run here. Hailed everywhere as the greatest comedy Lloyd has yet made, the Capitol management stands back Of it's claim that patrons will sec the fun niest picture this popular theater has ever thrown on it's screen.
 Harold is seen as the kid brother of the Hickory family, of the Ken lucky mountains, who because of being the youngest boy is kept back from the world by the father and two brothers. Harold tries at differ times to be as important as the rest of the family to the amusement of everyone.
 The father is the sheriff of the county and the kid brother gets into all kinds of prediCaments imper- sonating him.
 How he recovers his fathers stol- en money and saves the family name from disgrace is absolutely the fun niest thing the movies have ever produced.
 Lloyd is supported by Jobyna Ral- ston and many barnyard animals the funniest of which IS d monkey which will be the cause of spasms of laughter down near the finish of the picture.
 The photoplay will be shown twice on Sunday night with the second show beginning at S:So and on Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday there will be continuous shows with the picture showing at 2:45, 4:45, FOG and 9:10. A special childrens show will be offered after school at 4:15 at which time children will be ad- mitted for ten cents.
 On Thursday a double feature program will be offered. Dolores Costello will be starred in The Third Degree" and William Haines will be offered in The Little Journey"

NOTED COMEDIAN
 IN LYCEUM FILM
Raymond Hitchcock Star Of "Red Heads Preferred"
Raymond Hitchcock, veteran com

Raymond Hitchcock, veteran con- edian of the American stage, shares the spotlight with younger stars, in cluding Marjorie Daw. Theodore Won Eltz and Cissy Fitzgerald, in Red Heads Preferred" one of the funniest farce comedies seen on the screen, which opens tomorrow night at the Lyceum theater. The compan- ion feature is a smashing western with stalwart Harry Carey doing his stuff to perfection in Drifting Through"
 Red Heads Preferred" is a riot of fun and the plot is one of those mixed affairs in which husband and wife become uniustly suspicious of each other. It starts when a faith ful young husband, to please an im- portant customer, agrees to go to a fancy dress ball. Naturally he does not tell his wife and she, by another queer trick of fate, decides to at tend the same ball as fill in" companion for her girl friend. She goes disguised in red haired wig. She meets her husband there and then things begin to happen in ear nest.
 In the filming of this picture Ray mond Hitchcock had narrow es- cape from having to spend some time in the hoosgow.
 In one of the scenes Hitchcock is given a thrashing by an irate hus- band and left in a bedraggled condi- tion on the street. A rookie police man, who was not familiar with mo- ton picture actors on the boule- wards of Hollywood, spied Hitch cock and thinking that he was in anything but a sober condition start ed to take him to the lookup. The actor saw that the cop was serious and had to call his attention to the cameraman before he was released.
 The whole picture itself is a come- dy of errors, not the least of which occurs when Theodore Won Eltz ar rives at the wrong apartment and is confronted by Cissy Fitzgerald who is arrayed in her nightie. Still another giggle occurs when the of flee boy and stenographer are caught listening at the keyhole. And the big laugh starts early in the picture when Hitchcock and Non Eltz, having decided to attend the masked ball, proceed to imbibe a bit before going. When they arrive at the dance they are, to use a slang phrase, "all lit up" and their antics at the time are sure to drive away even the worst grouch that anybody can bring to the theater.

STAGE AND SCREEN

Art and the box office have little and most profitable films of 1926 brings this old truth home with startling force once again. Titles of the films deemed by the critics to be the best Of the year are not re- flected in the list of the five big money makers of 1926 as set forth by The Exhibitors Herald.
 "The Keeper of the Bees" "The Cohens and the Kolleys," Behind the Front The Son of the Sheik," and The Tolga Boatmen' are cited by the trade paper as the most lucra- tive. Not one of them finds q place in the first ten of the New York critics or even in the first forty of the National Board Review Of Motion Pictures.
 There is little unanimity of opinion among the critics on the the following have found a place on mostlists: Variety" Faust" The Grand Duchess and the Waiter Beau Gestc," The Waltz Dream" The Black Pirate" What Price Glory" "The Better Ole" "Old Ironsides," "Ter It to the Marines" 50 This is Paris" "Upstage," 'Si- lence,' and "Potemkin."
 As some of these pictures had their openings in the closing weeks of the year, it is only fair to say that they may get into the big money class before 1927 is over.
