 FRISCO SALLY LEVY" AT PALACE FOR CHRISTMAS

Acting for the screen isn't all a case of pretty gowns and high art-sometimes one has to be cook, nurse maid, and general household factotum.
 So says Kate Price, famous con- edienne of the silver sheet after she'd cooked corned beef and cab bage in a steaming kitchen for a couple of days, with three small children running about under her feet.
 In fact-it was just as tough a job as being married. she ayers!
 Miss Price plays Mrs. Lapidowitz in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's new comedy romance Frisco Sally Levy" at the Palace Christmas night and Wednesday. As the over worked mother 9f a big family, Miss Price has her hands full with real housewcrk- it had to be actually done for the camera.
 The new picture is Hitting con- edy of Jewish-Irish life in San Francisco with Miss O'Neil in the title role and a cast that includes Roy D'Arcy, Charles Delaney, Kate Price, Tenen Holtz, Helen Levine, Leon Holmes, and Turner Savage.
 William Beaudine, who directed Mary Pickford in Little Annie Rooney" directed the new picture.

 ABUSE,ALCOHOL

RIO DE JANEIRO, December 2f Brazil may forever reject tho North American brand of pro- hibition but movement for li- quor control has been started and the country has just celebrated an anti-alcoholic week, with con siderable vigor.
 During the week conferences and lectures were held in the | Federal capita, and also in sev- eral of the States. This city and the famous beach at Copacabana were bombarded from the air with handbills promoting the cause of temperance.
 Army planes were used fer this bombardment, and one of the handbills scattered from the air read: "Aviators do not drink all cohol. Athletes do not drink alcohol. To be strong shun alcohol"
 At the opening Of the anti alcohol week in one State capital the Governor said that steps would be taken to increase con siderably the taxes on alcoholic drinks. thus, he hoped, bringing about less drinking through the English method of high prices.
