GOOD COMEDY IS
 SHOWING AT PALACE

Here's another screen triumph for Jack Mulhall Yesterday he came to the Palace Theatre in his latest First National picture, "The Poor Nut" Never has he ap- peared to better advantage.
 Jack is ably supported by Char lie Murray, Jane Winton, Jean Arthur and a cast of unusually fine players. Jess Smith exercised keen judgment when he selected the cast for "The Poor Nut"
 Jack takes the part of college student in small-town college where because of his "inferiority complex" and peculiar shyness, he is known to the other students as the poor nut. Life for Jack is not so good In his heart he wish es to be a college hero. In fact he goes so far as to write a young lady in another college that he is a track star and a hero and all that. It is what he wants to be, but his complex stops him.
 It is a fine, clean comedy of col lege life and stands out as one of the most farcical college romances of the season. There is lot of good clean fun, realistic college at mosphere, track meets at which several famous track stars are seen in person. It is a mighty fine picture.
