PALACE-''The General"

"Jazz week. is being observed at
Loew's Palace Theater this week with
a bill replete with syncopation. The
feature, however. is Buster Keaton's
latest film production, THE General, I"
in which the smiIeless comedian Is
afforded excellent opportunity to dis
play his talents.
The story of the picture deals with
Keaton as a young railroad engineer
in the South H.s the outbreak OF the
Civil War. He Is refused enlistment
in the Confederate Army because 1t
was decided he would be more useful
as q locomotive engineer. The young
man. however. does not know why he
has been turned down and he is crest
fallen when his sweetheart admor1.
ishes him for his lack of patriotism.
A band of Northern spies steals kea-
tons engine and train in an effort to
cut off the Southern Army supplies.
Taking another engine, keaton fol-
lows. After many trials, in which he
is secreted in the home of Northern
general and learns of a secret attack
upon the Southern Army, and where
his sweetheart has been held prisoner
he escapes with her to notify the
Confederates of the impending attack.
Thrills upon thrills are brought out
during Keaton's run to the South with
his engine he has recaptured. The
burning of a bridge to stop the North
ern train and Army and the plunge
of the latter engine into the river is
vivid1y shown. 1t is one of Keaten's s
best pictures.
The jazz features include Dick
Liebert and his Lido Orchestra. Jack
Sidney. melody humorist and master
of ceremonies: Joe and Lew Cats
eccentric dancers; Markell and Faun,
pantomimic dancers, and Jerrie, the
dancing accordionist.

sion of the apartment Creelman has
rented for Jack and proceeds to work
on Creelman's sympathies. Sturde-

and his publishers, due to the popu-
larity of his book since his "death," !"
prevail upon him to keep his identity
a secret. He agrees, but calls upon
his friend Creelman and meets his
would-be widow. From that point

Mary evades questions pertaining to
her marriage and the tight places 1t

is very entertaining.

sTRAND--"Broadway Flashes"

which the Strand has been offering its
patrons for some time and in which
its permanent company shines in sew
eral quarters. Its outstanding feature
this week is an Indian number, fol.
lowed by a finale, "A Night at Sher-

show beyond its allotted hours, due to
the applause.
Mary Deery this week appears in

By the Associated Press.
Military men considering the prob
lem of the enlargement of the Panama
Canal or the construction OF a new
Atlantic-Pacific waterway are inclined
to favor utilization OF the Iong-pro
jected route across Nicaragua.
This is predicted upon the theory
that where an enemy might cripple
one route. the other could be kept
open for the movement of the battle
fleet, convoy and supply train from
one coast to the other.
Surveys of the Nlcaraguan route
have been made from time to time,
and a new one may be ordered by
President Coolidge. who is giving
thought to increased canal facilities
because OF the ever-mounting load of
traffic through the Panama waterway.
In Next Message.
The President is expected to discuss
the situation in his next annual mes
sage to Congress in December, and in
reaching conclusion as to the direc-
ton in which relief Is to be applied he
undoubtedly will consult both military
and naval experts.
The last estimate of the cost of the
Nicaraguan route. made four years
ago by Army engineers at the request
OF President Harding, was 81 900 ,000,-
900. The cost of increasing the lock
facilities at Panama is placed at from
$15o,O00,O00 to $3.50, 100000.
AT the time Congress authorized
the building of the Panama Canal
there was q long fight in the Senate
as to the choosing of that route over
the one through Nicaragua. The late
Senator Mark Hanna led the forces
for President Roosevelt, while the late
Senator Morgan, an Alabama Demo
crat, conducted filibuster in opposi-
ton to the administration plan.

treaty. known as the Bryan-Chamorro
compact, the United States also is
given the right to establish naval
bases on the Great Corn and Little
Corn Islands on the Atlantic and on
Fonseca Bay on the Pacific.
Since the military occupation of
Nicaragua the Navy has made some
preliminary surveys on Fonseca Bay
and has tentatively selected a site for
base there. While this base might
be established, the actual construction
OF canal itself would require further
negotiation between the American and
Nicaraguan governments.

GAYETY-"Wine, Woman and Song"

Wine, Woman and Song" a musi-
cal comedy and extravaganza which
has been running for the last 20
years, has returned to the Gayety
Theater this week in tip-top form.
The show undoubtly ranks among the
foremost burlesque affairs witnessed
this season. The revue in two acts
has II spectacular scenes.
Vic Plant, as Izzy Cohen, heads the
cast of comedians. His combination
of names explains his title role, sup
ported by Jimmy Gallivan, also an
eccentric comedian. Jack Reddy is
clever as straight man. The entire
male cast have excellent voices.
Florence King, the prima donna, a
soprano vocalist; Dolly Baringer, the
soubrette, and Dixie Mason, the in
genue, head the female cast and
prove worthy.
Another feature of the show is a
high powered dramatic playlet, writ
ten and presented by Miss Kaa Ham
ilton, who takes the leading role.
Miss Hamilton is supported by Jack
Reddy and an impromptu actor.
