GOOD AND NAUGHTY
 AT THE PALACE
Pola NeSri in Appealing Film
 Romance

After all, love is the sweetest thing life can offer"
 This is the philosophy of Pola Negri which she impreses deeply in her latest Paramount starring pro- duction, Good and Naughty" which comes to the Palace theater tomor- row.
 Take love out of life and what have you?" the famous Polish star pertinently inquiries.
 Her new picture is one Of the most delightful love stories, replete with humor and drama, that has ever been offered on the screen.
 It was adopted from Avery Hop woods stage play, Naughty Cin- derella," by Pierre Ceilings, and di- rected by Malcolm St. Clair under the supervision of B. P. Schulberg, associate Paramount producer.
 Tom Moore plays the male lead, Ford Sterling the featured comedy role. and in the cast are such well known names as Stuart Holmes. Miss DuPont. Marie Mosquini and Warner Richmond.
 The companion feature is Bob Custer's' newest F. B. o. picture, Hair Trigger Baxter"
 Action in a western picture means plenty of clever shooting, daring riding and bold fighting. and Bob Custer in his latest r. B. o. picture, Hair Trigger Baxter" has per fectly balanced amount of all three. The story calls for some amazing gun play as it's name would imply, and at the same time it does not neglect to include some breath talk ing fistic encounters and some thrilling riding.

No one knows our longing
Few have seen US weep.
We shed tears with aching hearts,
While others are asleeps
We often sit and think of you

That grief can call its own.
Sunshine passes, shadows fall.
