VALENTINO STARS IN FEATURE AT PALACE “Blood and Sand” Tops Film Bill Redolph Valentino in “Blood and Band" his first Paramount plcture starring vehicle which will be the feature at the Palace on Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, portrays a Spanish ‘‘ace,” a bull-Aght- er who has risen to the same popu- larity ‘in his profession as that en- joyed by ‘Babe" Ruth. As “Juan Gallardo,” an Idol of Bpain, Mr. Valentino is called endear- ingly by the bull-ring crowds, “En- pada,” or ‘spade,” that being the type of ace considered particularly lucky in Andalusia. " Member of a famous bull-fighting family, himself the conqueror of two score “toros,” Rafael Palomar was chosen as trainer of Rodolph Valen- tino for the toreador scenes required of the Paramount star in “Blood and Band.” A Fred Niblo production made from the notable Vicente Blasco Ib- anez novel of the same name. Rafael Palomar won the training assignment because of his twelve years as a bull-fighter in Madrid, Se- .ville, Cadlz, Mexico City, Guadalajara and other Spanish and Spanish-Amer- ican cities. He is the brother of Jose and Francisco Palomar, equally fam- ous as favorites of Spanish bull ring audiences. The hiring of Palomar was but a part of the plan to make “Blood and Band” correct in every detail. The story, however, tells of the life of Juan Gallardo, a bull-fighter, rather than of bull-fighting. All of the color of the Spanish national sport is re- tained, minus the features not accept- able to American audiences. Lila Lee and Nita Naldl, are fea- tured players of the cast which fis made up of scrcen artists of distinc- tive character type. These include among others, 'Walter Long, George T'ield, Rose Rosanova, Leo White, Marie Marstini and others.

I prefer to omit an- louncement of the call.” Fred and Connie followed him down the two flights to the Fuller deor. At their ring, the lady appeared, in bird-of-paradise raiment. Seeing Stelyard, however, she tried to close the door. It was too late. The gray- hajred gentleman made his way into the apartment, followed by the Dales. “Mrs. Fuller, I think you know me?” The unwilling hostess shrugged slightly, but her attempt at indiffer- ence was not successful. “You and someone impersonating me have been trying to boost a worth- less stock, Barringer Motors, by spreading reports and by a plot to make the automobile interests think I was behind it. You have carefully cultivated this Mr. Dale, who did not know me by sight. You intro- duced a man to him who imperson- ated me. You dropped hints and a scrap of paper with the purpose of getting a large number of automobile salesmen to invest their savings in Barringer Motors, which you know to be heading for bankruptcy. All this will be interesting to the district at- torney. Have you anything to say?" Mrs. Fuller reached for a cigarette, struck a match and lighted it. “Nothing,"” she answered between puffs, i'except to ask you to go ahead. I could use a hundred thousand dol- lars' slander suit award." Stelyard turned to leave. “I hope you will have an enjoyable time spending it.” He moved briskly to the door and was almost out of the apartment before Mrs. Fuller cried: RODOLPH VALENTINO Would Run High Class Vaudeville at Lyceum In an effort to come to an agree- ment whereby a New York combine might take over the Lyceum theater for a high class vaudeville house, Al Dow of 245 West 47th street, New York city, was in the ‘city last week conferring with Walenty Lech.

Webster Fox, of Philadelphia, to Canon Storr who accepted them on behalt of the dean and laid them on the tomb of the unknown British warrior. ‘One wreath was from the Soclety of British Women in America and the other from the Transatlantic so- ciety of Americans. The ceremony was witnessed by several hundred people. At the time of the burial of the unknown American soldier in Wash- ington, Mrs. Fox presented a wreath on behalf of British women and she was then asked to lay a wreath on their behalf on the British soldier's grave. The present ceremony was the outcome o fthat request.
