Girzst Girls! Did you ever see a real, bona. fide fashion revue? Were you ever inside of an exclusive dress shop, where beautifully gowned models strut up and down like briliiant peacocks? I you haven’t, you are promised an eyeopener by Edwin Carewc, whose latest First National re lease, “Joanna,” featuring Doro- thy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall, is at the Palace Sunday and Mon- day, opening with the Sunday matinee. The fashion parade in “Joanna," is said to eclipse anything in New York, Hollywood, and Paris. Thu- ty gorgeous mannequins display the latest and most breath-takinz dress creations. Edwin Carewe produced and d'- rected “Joanna.” In the support- ing cast are George Fawcett, Paul Nicholson, Lillian Langdon, Jobn T. Murray, Edward Davis and Do- lores del Rio. Rita Carewe, the daughter of the producer, makes her film debut in this picture. The story is all about a girl being : given one million dollars provided she does not ask where it comes from.

Film fans who remember Theda Bara only as she was.in her wick- edest screen moments may be ra- lieved to learn she lives quite the opposite of a vampirish life today. In her charmingly comfortabls Beverly. Hills home it is hard to imagine her, as the heartless screen siren . whose devastating power over men thrilled picture- goers to the core and worried screen censors in proportion. She might be the wife of a prosperous merchant or banker: her appearance suggests {he graceful hostess rather than tiae “menace” of the party. As a mat ter of fact, her husband is a mo- tion picture director—Charles Bra. bin. Theda Bara confesses she gets tired, now and then, of heariagz how immensely rich her screan vamping made her. “It was not so thrillingly profit able,” she said. “I made prac the made my lar.

Fortunately the dynamite did not explode, but burned, and when the danger ‘of explosion was pass- ed, the fire was extinguished. The total loss is estimated by officials between $6,000 and $7,000, portion of which was covered by insurance. The warehouse and small buildings were a total loss. as only a Says Columbus Returned to His | Wife in Spain LONDON, san. 21. pher Columbus did not stay in America because his wife was not with him, it was suggested here by Lady Astor who was put- ting in a good word for wives zenerally. | “The more I see of men, the more I believe in women,” Lady Astor observed at a dinner of the Three Towns Association. “As for those famous pioneers of history we have heard about, they would not have stayed a week in other countries if their #ives had not been w hem. “Why did not (‘oluml‘: settle in America?

HORSE FLESH FASTER NOW THEN OF OLD CHICAGO, Jan| 21.—Within a period of a little more than thiriy years the speed of thoroughbred | race horses in America ha$ .n- creased almost four seconds to the mile. But compare Handy Mandy, Mike Hall, Dot, Whisk Broom II, and Cherry Pie, some of the pres- ent day horses that are holders of American records, with Ten Broeck, Mollie McCarty, Kingston, Salvador, Finenzig Modesty, = Miss Woodward, Dick Wells, Frdeland and other stars back through the years and most old turfmen w!ll say the horses o7 way back were the better thoroughbreds. From 1895 to 1927 the American records have been broken at every distance from a half mile up ro two miles. The greatest increase in speed has been shown at the distance of a mile and a quarter. Five full seconds have been clip- ped off that mark since 1895. It is at this distance that a great many of the important stakes have been decided within the last ten years. A mania for speed and more speed has caused this remarkable development in thoroughbred rac- ing. More scientific methods in ibreeding have helped increase the speed. More scientific methods in track building have given the thorougn- breds better courses over whicn to run. A change in the riding style of American jockeys from an erect poise in the saddle to the crouch-, ing, kicking, hand riding systen made famous by Tod Sloan, has helped horses get more speed out of their racing efforts. s | CLOSE FOOTBALL DECISIONS ‘MANY ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 21.— In the wake of the much discuss. ed “safety” ruling recently which gave the Notre Dame football team victory over Southern Cali- fornia, two incidents that were ag debatable in their way as the one at Chicago are recalled at Michigan. - One gave the Yost men victory, and the other cost them a pos- sible tie. The more famous was in 1907 in a game with Pennsyl- vania. The Quakers had hung up a 6-0 lead, when late in the game ‘Wasmund, Michigan quarterback, called for Yost's mnew play—a triple forward pass. The entire right side of the lne shifted to the other side of cen- ter, leaving “Germany™ Schultz, the giant snapper-back on one end of the forward wall. The Michigan backs likewise moved ty the left. . Schuitz then passed the ov:i 0 back to Wasmund, who in turn tossed it on a line to Allerdice ai the left, and the latter followed up the maneuver with a long heave to Captain Magoffin. The Michigan leader pulled the ball out of the air and ram 36 yards to a touchdown. The Quakers didn’t know what it was all about, 1'Officials called the' ball back and ' called the play off as illegal.
