"REN HUR" AND "RECKLESS AGE" A SUPREME DOUBLE
 FEATURE AT PALACE

The triumphant return-shoWinB of the masterpiece of the nlm world, "Ben-Hur," augmented with sound synchronization, now play Fox x-Poli Palace.
 "Ben- -Hur" is as authoritative an account of the life of ancients as any history, and more so than the average, for not only has every thing pertaining to costume, man. nerisms, religion, education, soc!al life, sports, etc. been authentically reproduced, but the very tempera- ment and air of the age repre- sented as 1t actually was thousands of years ago.
 In order to accomplish this, the Metro c Goldwyn-M Mayer organization engaged several noted Italian arch- aeologists who spent months In re- search work before the three years actual production work was begun. They remained part of the stan throughout the entire period or the pictures filming, both in Italy ana America, criticizing anything that was not as it should be to represent the life of the first century.
 The result of all this IS that movie-goers who see this picture in a very snort peIIou VI .ii.'N learn more about the world in the first century than they could pos sibly do by studying for months:
 The reissued sound version or "Ben-Hur" provides new thrills to filmgoers for they are now able to hear as well as see the sensational details of such gigantic episodes as the chariot race and the sea battle.
 The co-feature is This Reckless Age" "This Reckless Age" is Paramount's limitation of Lewis Beach's stage success "The Goose Hangs High" It is sentimental comedy drama of parents who have dedicated their lives to supplying every want of their children, who in turn, following the "jazz' trend of this reckless age, give slight consideration to the grueling self denial of their parents.
 Fox Movietone News and novel; ties completes the program. Start ing Sunday the Fox-Poli Palace will offer another super-feature Ruth Chatterton in Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

Dempsey's share of the receipts amounted to about $175,000. He usually gets 50 per cent of the net receipts. Of this he has retained only a little more than $100.000, ac- cording to his manager, Leonard Sacks.
 Free and Easy
 Dempsey is a big spender and retains only about $2 out of every $5 that he earns" said Sacks.
 Tonight Dempsey meets Meyer (KO) Christner of Akron, O., in q Around bout at the Cleveland Au- ditorium. Promoter Joe Lewis ex- poets a capacity crowd of 11,225 and receipts of about $30,000. It will be the first time in about five years a boxing bout has sold out in Cleveland, except for the Cleveland News Christmas charity fund show of 1890.
 Well Liked
 Dempsey has been guaranteed $15.000, the biggest purse any box CT, outside of Schmeling and Strib- ling for their heavyweight title bout last July, has received in Cleve- land in about 15 years.
 People who never saw boxing match before are coming to see Jack Dempsey" Promoter Lewis said.
 Sacks, who has been with Demp- sey for about 13 years. says Demp- sey is more popular in 1892 than he ever was as champion.
 "The public makes a bigger de- mand on Dempsey's time now than when he held the title" said Sacks. His telephone calls aver age about 150 daily, and it takes two men alone to attend them. He receives about 200 pieces of mail and telegrams daily. His telephone bill for local and long distance calls for less than a week in Chi cago was $850."
