Milo renders several songs in a feminine vocle, and glves a variety of imita- tions of animals, Instruments, steam- boats and trains. James C. Morton, the famous_come- dian, assisted by his family, Mamie, Edna and Alfred Morton, present “The Battles of 1925, which consists of clever songs and dances. Numerous encores failed to satisfy the audlence. “Melodlous Dance Achlevement, featuring the musical comedy favor- ite, Evelyn Phillips, with Eddie Simms and Joe Devaney, is a clever song- and-dance act. Sally Goldle and Madeline Beattie, blues singers, pre- sent an entertaining song act, billed as “Youth, Charm and Syncopatlon,” and Adair and Adair opened the bill with a daring horizontal bar act, with many thrills. The photoplay is a comedy, “The| Early Bird,” and Johnny Hines is| the star. It is replete with laughs, even if you are hard to get a laugh out of. Johnny, in “The Early Bir becomes a moving spirit in an or- ganization of milk drivers, who form their own company to combat the milk trust.

The man | who cracks the whip over the cring- ing shoulders of her father, Williams Brinsley, however, has a prodigal son whom he wishes redeemed by some good woman, and he proposes im- munity from punishment if Brinsley will arrange a marriage with his This is done.

Dressed in ordinary, every- raiment, Irene tries to look the through make-up, but many forced to the conclusion that lover showed very bad taste in picking. Marie Prevost, dressed to perfection, disp'ays her blonde beauty and acting as the siren flap- per and simply sweeps the lover off his feet.

Monte Blue, as the lover, has created a character that carries beyond the screen, making one feel, however, like creeping up and telling him he was making the mistake of his life in not selecting the plain sister. Irnest Pascal’s novel recelved more than a passing notice when it came off the press, and If he has seen it he must be gratified at its artistic presentation upon the screen. The supporting company is satisfactory and the photographic work pictures pretty scenes with artistic keenness. Maurice Shrowski, ability, was received with great favor by the music lovers and the Orpheus Quartet won generous applduse for singing popular airs in almost per- fect harmony. “Mandalay” was the hit of the quartet's offering, the solo portion being very good. An amusing comedy and the Rialto Orchestra, getting back to its old standard under the vigorous guidance of Mischa Guterson, complete the entertaining bill. Palace—"Broken Laws." Mrs. Wallace Reld is appearing on the screen and in person this week at loew's Palace in “Broken Laws’” a dramatic picture, carrying value not only as an influence for law observ- ance, but as entertainment, The screen story tells of an indul- gent mother, played by Mrs. Reid, and a spoiled child, whom she does not have the heart to discipline Weary on acoount of her worries she sinks down on the davenport t rest. and the picture then presents vividly her dream, in which the son of 18 and the neighbor's daughter, filled with the spirit of the jazz age, drink, dance and break the speed laws, recklessly going headlong into the inevitable consequences of their acts. The boy kills an old woman when his speeding auto strikes a vegetable cart, and he ls convicted of manslaughter. Just as the mother is screaming to the judge not to take her boy away, and is blaming her- self for having indulged him, she awakens. She then turns Wwith a slipper, and administers the sound spanking to the obstreperous young- ster, who has well merited much more. Mrs. Reid Is convincing as the mother. She is supported by Percy Marmont, as father of the girl next door; Ramsey Wallace, Arthur Rank- in, Jacqueline Saunders, Pat Moore, and others. In her personal appearance, Mrs Reld appeals to parents to bring up their children as observors of the law, declaring the “nations spring from nurseries.” A news reel, Aesop's Fables, thrill- ing pictures of aviators atop a s ecd- ing plane, and music by the Palace Orchestra, cum]flcu\ an excellent bill Tivoli—"So Bxg.
