She put out her hand, drew me up from the floor, and moved with me toward tho door.

An acctdent compelled him to give up speed skating. after which he took up fancy exhibition work and eventually got into vaude- lle. wheM he was starred in the Hippodrome. He is accompanied by Misses ILigrie and Collins and their evolutions on the limited portadle ice tank are said to be marvelous and performed with grace.

The story is of the high-bred type in which Miss Ferguson fits so well. It was adapted from the late Mrs. Hum- phry Ward’s novel of the same name. Three different periods are oceu- pied by the picture—1860, 1890 and modern times—and Miss Ferguson's performance is much more than matter of costuming. She portrays a grandmother, daughter, and finally granddaughter and to each role sha imparts a rare sympathy and under- standing.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Palace will present Liletta and her Hawailans, a real clever Haws musical and dancing offering with a cast of soven clever entertainers. A treat is promised to the admirers of King Vidor by this producer in his latest picture—a First National at- traction—""The Jack-Knife Man,"” which comes to the Palaco on Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday. Delightfully refreshing in the new- nesn of its theme and locale, thin photoplay of rural simplicity with its ‘quaint characters drawn from real life, is full of mentle humor and pathos. It deals with the affairs of a little colény of unique personages who dwell in a secluded . hamlet nestling on the banks ot the Missis- sippi river—and on the dilapidated houseboats clustered along ths banks It 15 a homely little tale of the uffairs ot plain people with its central char- acter a lovable old chap filled with the love of fellow-man. Into his life -—otherwise drab and drear—ccmes a tiny friendless waif and the 1whole world is changed for him. His sirug- giles to work out the salvation of the Jad forms one of the most pleasing an and heart-gripping talas the scrcen | has produced in a long time.

Ridgley, the noted conductor of the 63th Reziment Band of New York, which will appear here on Sun- day afternoon, Jan. 30th. “As yet, the American people have not felt the absolute necessity of music; it ia still classed as a luxury.” Tickets for the “Fighting 69th” are mow on sale at Pler: musis store.
