In The Local
TheaterS
JOAN BENNETT IN "CARELESs
LADY" AND 1.-THE STRUG.
GLE" WITH HAL SHELLY
NOW AT FOX-POIL PALACE.

A distinctive comedy note Is
maintained throughout Careless
Lady," which opened yesterday at
the Fox-Poli Palace theater to a
highly appreciative audience. This
Aim elected continuous gurgles of
mirth from the spectators and
proved one Of the most entertain
ing cinematic productions of re-
cent months.
The plot is simple and so deftly
handled as to make it quite real
at all times. The heroine. dis
couraged by the lack Of apprecia-
ton shown her by her small-town
boy friends, decides to go abroad
and acquire fascinating French
polish. She also takes the notion
of posing as a married woman,
after an experienced friend con-
vinces her that wives have a much
better time in Paris than maidens
Joan Bennett is completely
charming as the heroine and re-
veals hitherto unsupported abil-
ity as a comedienne par excel
lence, in addition to her custom
airy dramatic talents. She has
wistfuf appeal. John Boles makes
an ideal husband" for her, and
incidentally takes his splendid
singing voice from its wrappings
for very effective and tuneful
number. Raul Roulien, the Bra
lillian who scored SO well in de-
licious," here clicks again. Weldon
Hepburn, Minna Gombell, Nora
Lane, John Arledge and new
conner, Fortunlo Bonanova, all
carry important roles and carry
them well. Kenneth Mackenzie
direction is excellent. The Aim IL
well worth seeing.

Palace offers-''The Struggle" a
D. w. Griffith production with Hal
Sicily and Zita Johann and an all
star supporting cast. Fox Movie
tone news and novelties completes

Ancients Named Fishes
Well Known to Anglers

Few fishermen have ever given
thought to the derivation of the names
of the fishes which they know so well.
There are a host of fishes named aft
er the animals they resemh4e such as
the dogfish and catfish. Tie deriva-
ton of the names sunfish and bluegill
is obvious, but where did the word
trout come from?
Trout was originally tructa, which
in turn is lost in a very old Greek
word, meaning eat or gnaw, says Will,
liam Beebe in his book 1.-THE Log of
the Sun" Perch harks back to the
Latin perca, and the Romans had it
from the Greeks, among whom 1t
meant spotted. The Romans said mi
nutus when they meant small. and
nowadays when we speak of any very
small fish, we say minnows.
The pike is so named from the
sharp pointed snout and long slim
body, bringing to mind the old-time
weapon of that name. while pickerel
means doubly little pike. the Ter"

Build New Casinos for the
Expected Rush.

Paris.-Tn adversely the baccaret
barons of the golden sands of the
French and Italian Rivera are pre-
pairing for prosperity just around the
corner.
The gambling casinos are having
the worst season they have had since
the war. Little white five franc chips
are used where formerly hardened
plungers fingered only the 1000
franc red chips. Yet the barons have
found the hundreds of millions nee
essary to build three new gambling
palaces,
There are at present % gambling
casinos along the 100-mile strip from
San Reno to Hyeres, as well as three
race courses where plungers and
bookmakers swarm. The combined
capacity of the gambling tables of
these % casinos is $4,000.
In good years the tables have been
populated from noon until dawn with
as many as 100000 gamblers trying
their luck at one of the 800 tables
during day. AT the present time II
is no rare sight to see two croupiers
and only one gambler.
For the happy days to come, how
ever, the barons are making ready.
