I }“HOT HEELS” COMING | TO PALACE SUNDAY - Another of those gay exuberant comedies of youth with Glenn Try- on and Patsy Ruth Miller will be offered at the Palace Sunday. It is a comedy race-track epic called “Hot Heels” and was directed by ‘William J. Craft, the man who made “Painting the Town,” and “A Hero for a Night,” which fea- tured the same brilliant players. “Hot Heels,” starts with a small- town.show and ends at the color- ful racetrack in Havana, Cuba, at the height of the season. Delicious comedy is scattered all through the story which was writ- ten by the director and scenarized by Harry O. Hoyt. A small-town hotel owner buys the contract of a road-show actress with whom he has fallen in love, and -takes ‘the troupe to Havana amid many adventures of riotous comedy. The Steeplechase in this picture 4is; without a doubt the most thrill- ing horse race ever filmed. There arve uncountable laughs and many delightful surprises in “Hot Heels” ‘which promises a full and satistdc- tory entertainment. .| Johnston McCulley.

As a result, more and more people need the comforting help of glasses for eyes which have been overworked. Do not put off giving your eyes the attention they deserve.
