PALACE

1.-THE Show Off," the funniest
comedy of the year, a picture that
is a treat for the whole family,
opened at Polls today for a three
day engagement on the same pro.
gram with the Coming Out Party"
The SHOW Off" is a hilarious
comedy, deftly blended with mo-
ments of heart stirring pathos and
starring Spencer Tracy and Madge
Evans, Lois Wilson and others of
note. There Is a real treat for audi
ences who will just have to roar
with laughter from beginning to
end.
After the monkey-business of
routine comedy that has been seen
on the screen SO often this season,
"The Show Off" is delightful and
believable. 1t Is the story of j..
Aubrey Piper, n young man who
thought himself about the most i'm
portant person on earth.
The show gets its title, 1.-THE
Show Off" from this character
played by Tracy. He rings true in
every scene. He Is character lift
ed out of life. He is the man who
thinks he knows everything about
everything and doesn't hesitate to
tell the world how good he Is.
His Boosting, his strutting, his
wild flights of imagination get him
into n series of humorous compli-
cations. His character is indexed
from the moment of his introduce
ton on the screen. Knocked from
the rail of an excursion steamer
in the excitement that follows an
accidental fall OF another passeng-
er, he is credited with saving the
life Of the other man and takes
his congratulations expansively. 1t
Is apparent that this Is nothing at
