In the fine Metropolitan comedy, “Almost a Lady;" starring: Marie Prevost, at the Palace for the last two times tonight, it wa necessary ‘to film several scenc in an unusual and distinct den. To make this possible, Di- rector E. Mason Hopper was oblig- ed to have one made. The mo: ture garden, potted plan Grass sod was laid in one cor-| ner of the stage and matched. Then potted plants were lined up to rep- resent the hedges, and these were carefully trimmed. Then the lit. tle water pools were placed and fountains began to ‘sprinkle. Later on, orange trees ted—blossomed on the banana trees cast their shade over marble bHenches and a number of real fir trées—cut from the Hollywood hills balanced man’s handiwork.

Harrison Ford and George K Arthur are featured. Barner Gil- ore, Trixie Friganza and John Miljan complete the cast. ENDA NOW AT COLISEUM | “The Gay OIld Bird,” tne Wi ner production now at the C seum, is all that it was heralded to be, and more. Louise Fazenda, in a decided variation of her slav- ey type, keeps the house in a roar. The complications include Lou- ige’s becoming the mistress of the house while still the maid; being stormed by a barrage of twins of} all sorts and conditions; behold-]| ing her beloved Irish beau, in a) fit of jealousy, during which he aims at the gay old bird him- self, being saved from homicide only by the deft wits of Fazenda, who has been the midst of such a whirlwind of events, that her! head swims, and she reels dizzily. The supporting cast is unusual in {het all of them play up to the star, thus giving a rémarkable unity ‘to the performance. John T.

Can you re- member the names ©of Harold Lloyd’ comedies? When you saw eachy one, you swore it was better than anything that had ever come to town. And you repeated the exclamation at least ten times. Remember “Girl Shy?” “Grand- ma’s Boy?” It's not necessary to mention “The Freshman,” “Safety Last” or “For Heaven’s ‘Sake,” but ‘here are some we'll wager you don’t recolleet: “The KEastern Westerner,” “A Sailor Made Man,” “Captain Kidd's Kids” and “I Do.” Your memory might be tickled a bit by asking if you had J “Number, Please,” “Hot W and “Bumping Into Broadway. “High and Dizzy” came in for its share of plaudits, as did “Now or Never,” and “Get Out and Ge! Under.” That's going way back, you'll say. Yes, but Lloyd has produced many, many more suc- cesses than those which have been|* named. His latest, “The Kid Brother,” opens at the *Colisenm tom .row. It is the second feature for distri- bution _by Paramount produced by the Harold Lloyd Corporation, and is declared as funny as anything he’s ever done. Jobyna Ralston plays opposite the star. —_————— A N For Carpenter Work of any kind—shop or "c‘lty—‘Call Handy IIII!IIIilIIIllIIII!III AT I llll"lll_lIlIllIIIII"IlIIIIIII"HII""HIlIlllllllllllll"llllll" new starring com- long- finishing | dumb- Carey Wilson scenarized “Naugh-| Gillingwaterty But Nici from Lewis Allen Browne's play, “The One week from next Saturday | Bigamist.” John McCormick pro.|"1&ht, the Juneau City d \\'il]i duced the picture at the First Na.|8ive its second annual dance in tlonal studlo, fn- Califoritd, ng|Bike' Hall and the public s in- Millard Webb directed it vited.

He is the anthracite king of America, s Mr. Markle.

For— ‘When he took over the occupancy of his new abode, the rich and fas- tidious widower became the owner of the world’s largest single apart- ment — an expansive retreat of forty-five rooms, winding corridors and one of the best views in New York!

Indeed so rambling is the huge one-man home that it is conceivable that these domestics may go days without encountering at least one or more of their fellows. Among other things the largest apartment house boasts: Private Tele; Exchange A black and white marble stalr- case which set Mr. Markle back $75,000; an art gallery, two librarles, antigue paneling of all master rooms; a private exchange with twenty-six extension phones, and furniture of French and English de- sign especially imported for the an- thracite king.
