THe new film, twice as wide as| the old, enlarges the scope of the camera’s vision to that extent,| double panoramic possibilities, and gives improved sound reproduction because the sound track is twice &5 wide.

For a time we live the lives of the players in the story, | suifer vicariously and joy with them in their triumphs. Such a picture -is which opened last évening at the Palace Theatre. Titzmaurice special production for First National, and has Milton Sills in the title role as the spieler in the little third-rate carnival troupe. Sills has never given better work to| a role. It is shaded so finely, re- gtrained where needed and flam- boyant where the charasterization demanded expressiveness. Dorcthy Mackaill is co-starred as the girl Lou. She plays the part with just the proper degrec of donment, the pathetic desire a clean atmosphere and a real e is expressed with delicacy and comprehension. Betty Compson is admirable as the Barker's sweetheart, and Doug- las Fairbanks, Jr., is excellent as the of the same hardened indi- vidual, whose only soft spot is his love for his boy. 15 1 ¥ THE CARNATION KID” IS NOW AT COLISEUM ‘While presidents and governors and senators and what not are Being elected, there’s another elec- tion on which is full of thrills and fights, all of which makes some un- usually timely and interesting mov- ing picture entertainment. It is #The Carnation Kid” the new Pouglas MacLean-Christie produc- tion which is showing at the Coli- seum. In the MacLeay picture there's a district attorney running for office jn a big city; and some very dan- gerous underworld forces importing a famous gunman to see that the district attorney never has a chance to run again. . From the time that this young typewriter salesman is mistaken for the notorious Carna- tion Kid with his newly invented ‘machine gun, things begin to move in the plet. MacLean plays the part of Clarence the typewriter “The Barker,” i It is a George; is the ho play the parts in this melodramic comedy are Fran- ces Lee, who is the district att ney's daughter; Lorraine Eddy, s retary of the underworld boss Charles Mailes the candidate and district attorney and William B.| David. the boss of the bad men. ~There’s a real old-fashioned po- | litical rqll) in the picture with its| torchlight parade and a stirring | |climax at 'the political meeting vhen the underworld boys get theirs. “BULLDOG DRUMMOND” COMING TO PALACE ‘The sets which Samuel Goldwyn | prepared for his production of ‘Bulidog Drummond,” coming to ald Colman as the star, represent {a new departure in moving picture \ technique.

The camera is set at unusual an- sles so &8s to create a harmonizing | dramatic mood through the per-| spectives obtained. But in “Bull- dog Drummond,” for the first time, the weird angles which lend mys- tery and fear to this story of tor- ture and murder were built into the sets instead of being developed by shifting the camera.
