Norma Shearer
 in "A Free SOul''
Lyric Books Successful Picture - All-Star
 Cast

Norma Shearer's newest picture, "A Free Soul" is a screen drama tization of the widely read novel by Adela Rogers St Johns.
 A stellar supporting cast in- cludes Leslie Howard, the celebrat- ed Broadway actor who made his screen debut in "Never the Twain Shall Meet" and followed this with the role opposite Marion Davies in Five and Ten; Lionel Barry more, who makes his appearance before the camera again after an interval of directing; Clark Gable, who has achieved sensational rise in films following his work in "The Easiest Way" Dance, Fools, James Gleason and Lucy Beau mont.
 The picture was directed by Clarence Brown, who has gained an enviable reputation for his suc- cessful production of Greta Gar bo's vehicles.
 "A Free Sour' is the type of picture which Miss Shearer can carry off so well, involving as 1t does @ heroine whose determine ton to live 8 life of complete free. dom gets her into difficulties when she attemtps to carry out the the- ory in her love affairs.
 Also on the big feature hit, IS Richard Barthelmess who has been more than lucky in his choice of a starring vehicle in "The Last Flight" The story is by John Monk Saunders, who, if we are not mistaken, did both "The Dawn Patrop and "The Finger Points for the same star. "The Last Flight is known to many as "Nik- Xxi and Her War Birds" which ran serially in Liberty magazine and was later published as novel un- der the title of Single Lady,"

Young China"
 Strand Feature
One of Highest Salaried Acts in Vaudeville
 Comes to City

Bigger and better stage shows Is the slogan of the Warner Brothers Strand theater manage ment, and as the weeks go by the carrying out of this slogan is we'll in evidence.
 This week is no exception for starting to-day and for the next three days the management is pre- eenting an elaborate stage presen- tation that promises to surpass all previous ones. Heading the list of i've stellar Broadway headline at fractions is Young China" a new sensation in vaudeville and one of the highest salaried acts on the road to-day. These youthful celes- tials present a lavish1y staged re- yue that demonstrates their re- markable ulents in performing feats both oriental and occidental.
 Rob Robison, "The One Man Show" Is internationally famous as a monologist and master of extem- peranious humor. He comes here from a triumphant tour of the middle west where hold-over en- agreements were not uncommon. Robison will act as master of cere- monies during his local engage ment.
 Lydia Harris has an offering en- titled "A Voice, Personality and Pep" Miss Harris is an accom- plished artist and presents a pleas ing cycle of songs in her own in- imitable manner.
 Joe Herbert & Co in "Eccen- sricities of 1881" have a clever skit in which comedy, dancing and singing are featured but with com edy predominating. Waterbury has voiced a preference for acts of this type and so it should be we'll re- ceived.
 The Ramons open the bill with "A Vaudeville Novelty" which is in the nature of a surprise treat for Strand patrons.
 On the screen is "The Run mound" something new in talking screen entertainment. It's an en- tertaining story about the merry xo-round of life on Broadway where they promise with orchids and pay off in heartaches. A truly different picture filmed in natural colors. The cast is a splendid one with Mary Brian, Johnny Hines, Marie Provost, Geoffrey Kerr and Joseph Cawthorn being featured.

GarbO and Gable
 in Palace Hit
Popular Team Make "Su- san LenOx, Her Fall and
 Rise" a Big Feature

The answer to many a maiden's prayer is to be found in the team ing. of Greta Garbo and Clark Gable in Susan Lenox. Her Fall and Rise," which will open a four days engagement at Fox Poli Pal ace Sunday for four days.
 It was a happy and wise decision that made the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer officials cast this engaging newcomer opposite the famous Swedish star. Gable is right at the top of the ladder in the estima- tion of fans and his work in the sure his early bid for stardom.
 Garbo is magnificent as the hero inc of the David Graham Phillips story which Robert z. Leonard di- rected. The famous novel was adapted for the screen by Wanda Tuchock with dialogue written by Zelda Sears and Leon Gordon. Modernized as it is, the dramatic regeneration theme makes ideal material for Garbo. In the opin- ion of this reviewer she accom- plishes the greatest individual characterization of all her talkie efforts.
 Leonard's fine direction keeps the picture moving at rapid tempo, reaching a gripping climax after a most novel cross-section showing the disintegration of the girl who climbed from obscurity to power due to her consuming love for the man who first lead her astray.
 The supporting cast is note- worthy, including such performers as Jean Hershot, John Milan. Alan Hale, Hale Hamilton, Hilda Vaughn, Russell Simpson, Cecil Cunningham and Ian Keith.
 Fox Movietone news, Smith and Dale in a comedy offering Further Away" and football thrills will complete the program.

If you have a fish pond or pool in

It was suggested that several en-

Salt On Roads Attract Deer,
Cause Accidents

The fiction that salt on the tail
will catch bird has been slightly
changed by game experts and APP
piled seriously to deer. That salt
on the trail is fatal to deer" is
fact which Is giving Pennsylvania
game officials much concern, says
a bulletin Of the American Game
Association This is not alone be-
cause AZ deer have been killed in
that state in seven months by
trains and automobiles, but chiefly
because the highway collisions be-
tween automobiles and deer result
ed In accidents which severely in
jured two women and killed an
other. A study Of the situation has
revealed that deer are attracted to
highways by salt dumped from
ice cream trucks, and to railroads
by salt leaking from refrigerator
cars.
