Clara Bow Stars
In Palace Feature

Clara Bow has discovered that
love is just as exciting among the
millionaires as IL is with ordinary
folk. and the 1T" personality IS at
its finest in the sparkling comedy
full musical romance Love Among
the Millionaires," showing at the
Palace. McAllen theatre for 3 days
starting today. as it was when con-
fined TO the fleet in True to the
Navy"
Amid the clatter Of dishes and the
blatant tones Of a nickel-in-the slot
piano. Love Among the Million
aires gets underway. Clara sings q
song, Believe 1t Or Not, I've Found
My Man That's where Stanley
Smith comes in and transports her
to a fairy paradise Of the wealthy
at Palm Beach. But even then,
everything refuses to run smoothly.
Stanley has a father, Claude King.
who thinks a son Of the rich should
not marry a girl Of the poor. and,
likewise, Clara has a father, Charles
Sellon, who declares no daughter OF
his will marry a wealthy man. While
the old chaps get together, Clara
and Stanley have had an under
standing which almost breaks up
the romance.
Love Among the Millionaires' IS
one o fthe most enjoyable pictures
Clara Bow has ever made, and Clara
gets a chance TO sing. Those
who heard the 1T" voice in Para
mount on Parade" and True to the
Navy" will want to hear the Red
head sing Believe It Or Not" That
Is Worth Waiting For" Love
Among the Millionaires' and "Rar-

voice, her eyes. her red hair, her
whole body. She handles a song
like she handles a man. with pep,

WHAT WAS SIR WALTER SCOTTS
TRIBUTE TO THE BIBLE!

Sir Walter Scott died September
21, 1884, at Abbotsford on the Tweed.
The health of the poet and novelist
had been on the decline for several
months before his death. Several
weeks before he breathed his last he
seemer to be getting better. One
morning, says John Gibson Lock-
hart, who was Scott's biOgrapher and
son-in-law, latter again enjoying the
Bath chair for perhaps a couple Of
hours out of doors, he desired to be
drawn into the library, and placed
by the central window, that he might
look own upon the Tweed. Here he
express a wish that 1 should read
to him, and when l asked from what
book, he said-'Need you ask? There
is but one.' l chose the 14th chap
ter of st. Johns Gospel; he listened
with mild devotion, and said when l
had done-'Well, this a great COM
fort. 1 have followed you distinctly,
and feel as if Iwere yet to be my
self again." The first two verses of
the chapter read to Sir Walter are as
follows: Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. In my Fathers house
are many mansions; if it were not
so, would have told you. go to
prepare a place for you."-The Path
finder.
