RENEE ADORE IS
 COMING TO PALACE

Northern animals of every de- scription were used in the produc- tion of Back to Gods Country the Universal-Jewel starring Re nee Adoree, which will open at the Palace Sunday.
 Miss Adoree appears as a girl of the vast. wind-swept regions of the North who has mothered many animals which she adopted as babies.
 Among the animals which ap- pear in this screen version of James Oliver Curwood's tale are bear, an owl, a wolf, a poreu- pine, 15 Alaskan husky dogs, and baby reindeer.
 Miss Adoree became so attached to- the baby reindeer that she in sisted on purchasing it after the completion of the picture. When it grows up she plans to release it in the California mountains where it will be sure to join a herd of it's fellows in protected territory. In the meantime, it is enjoying itself in the neighbor- hood of her mountain retreat.
 Beside being colorful atmosphere the animals play important parts in the plot of the story, especially the wolf, Wapi, and the bear, Di- nah
 Robert Frazer plays opposite Miss Adoree with a supporting cast including Walter Long, Mitch ell Lewis, Adolph Milar and James Mason.

 ROSE OF GOLDEN WEST" 1 S AT PALACE TONIGHT

A pulse-stirring romance that rocked three nations and played g dramatic part in the winning of California to the United States 70 years ago is the theme of Rose of the Golden West" which opens at the Palace Theatre tonight.
 George Fitzmaurice, who gave the screen "The Dark Angel" and The Tender Hour" and other sue cesses, offers the theatre-going public a thoroughly satisfying and thrilling love story in a gorgeous setting, that of the rich country by the Pacific when it was ruled by the Spanish dons.
 Gallant caballeros ride at mid night to keep trysts with starry eyed senoritas. Hot-blooded pi rates battle the intrigue of na- tions fighting for possession of the golden western empire, Ad- venture, hand to hand struggles between a handsome hero and his antagonist, gorgeous moonlight fiesta, beneath the cypress trees of Monterey, appealing love scenes between handsome youth and a beautiful girl-these are some of the elements of Rose of the Gold en Vest"
 The Palace orchestra will play for both shows.

large automobiles. They rushed into
the Carriage company, displaying
stars and ordering the eight occu-

emily the slayers then herded their
victims into a rear room and, lining
them up against wall with hands
above their heads, loosed their gun
fire.
Seven of the bodies, in grotesque
positions where they had fallen,
were found by police ranged along
the bullet marked and blood spat-

living but probably fatally wounded.

Luis TURNER
ESCAPES PEN
Cameron County Slay-
er Believed Head
ed For Border

Luis Turner, slayer of Deputy
Sheriff Cervero Montalvo at La Feria
in June, 1927, and sentenced to 25
years in the penitentiary, escaped
from the Blue Ridge prison farm
February 10.
Advices received Thursday from
prison farm officials gave no details
of the escape.
Turner Is believed headed for the
Mexican border. and officers at all
points have received descriptions to-
gether with instructions TO watch for
him, as il is believed he will endeavor
to cross to Mexico.
Turner was at one time deputy
sheriff, being relieved of his COM
mission a few weeks prior TO the
shooting of Montalvo at La Feria. Ac-
cording TO testimony introduced at
the trial, Turner was intoxicated and
was firing at a dog on the street.
Montalvo endeavored to place him
under Arrest, Turner turning his
pistol on the officer and inflicting a
mortal wound. He was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Yznaga.
The case was tried in September,
1927, the jury returning a verdict
Of guilty and sentencing the prisoner
to 25 years. He had served apprcxi-
mately 16 months of his sentence
when he made his escape.
Officers who are familiar with
Turner's record predict he will not
be recaptured without battle. He
is known TO have a number of friends
on the south side of the Rio Grande
in the vicinity of La Feria, and IL Is
believed he will endeavor to effect q
crossing of the river near that point.
