THEATERS

The series of comedy situations in
cred Hair kept the audience at
the Palace theater in gale of
laughter throughout the perform
ancc Yesterday. Clara Bow, the
star of Elinor Glyn's former Para
mount success. 1T proved a veri-
table treasure house of humor.
The story is a simple one of Am,
erican life as it is. A little mani
curist find that "gold digging is
an easy way to accumulate clothes
and iewelry and, when her charms
captivate the hearts of three mid
dle-aged professional men, she digs
to her heart s content. Her actiVi-
ties land her in a great deal of
trouble, however, when she finally
gives her heart to the ward of her
three middle aged admirers.
West Coast Varieties offer a
pleasing bin. Sol Grammar and
Eva Weston. a very clever dancing
team pleased the large audience,
Their act is billed as the O." Some
what different dancers and they
certainly lived up to their billing.
Harry Sheppard, late of the Fam
Gus Six Brown Brothers. an eXcep-
tionally clever saxophonist. more
than pleased with several selections
proving that he is one of the few
people in this world that can really
plav saxophone. Marie Moore,
billed as the Australian Nightingalt
has a beautiful voice and was well
received. Helene Schiller and her
Musical Maids offered some very
catchy numbers that won them new
friends in FL Centre. The bill from
start to finish is we'll worth seeing.
