An exceptionally fine bill is now playing the Palace for the last half of the Anniversary Week. The Fra- bells open the bill with a nifty wire offering introducing Russian and Frisco dancing on tight wire that is quite sensational. Sophie and Har- vey Everett offer you “Money,” a very entertaining singing and talking skit | that is cleverly done. May McKay and Sisters offer a “Bit of Scoteh,” a fine singing and dancing act, finishing with the bagpipes and drum. Daiton & Cralg are the real class of the bill| with their excellent singing and danc- ing offering,Aladin's Lamp."” - Their act is greatly enhanced by beautiful scenery and lighting effects as well as gorgeous costumes worn by Miss Craig. Eadle and Ramsdell have n good variety offering that was well llked, and the big feature of the bill comes next with Harry Slatko and Band featuring Fva Sully and the| Oddity Boys. Mr. Slatko . and Eva Bully offer an excellent routine ' of dances with some comedy talk and {ntroduce the Oddity Boys, a clever aggregation of musicians who are very entertaining. The comedy hit of the bill is registered by Buster Keaton fn “Cops,” a two part comedy that abounds with laughs. “The Sin Flood” is the big photoplay and s a big powerful drama with a moral. The cast is headed by Richard Dix, Helene Chadwick and Jumes Kirk- wood. On New Year's Eve at 12 01 a, m,, the Palace wili offer a special Mid- night Frolic to usher in the new year. A special gshow will be presented, offering an augmented vaudeville bill and featuring the Keith headliner *“The Emerald Revue.” The photoplay will offer the premier showing in this city of Jackie Coogan's latest success, “Oliver Twist," Jackie's greatest pro- duction since the little star became famous. OPPOSES FOREST TAX. Plan in New York to Assess Property Only On Its Land Value. * Boston, Dec. 29.—A change in the New York state law so that the same rinciple of taxation that is applied 'o agricultural lands would be ap- “plied to forest lands was advocated by Clifford R. Pettes, superintencant of the state forests for New York, in| a paper prepared for today's session of the Society of American Foresters. He pointed out that a growing for- est was a crop but that at present| forest crops were assessed white farm crops were not aspessed. He urged that forest lands should be assessed and taxed only.on the land value, ex- clusive of the growing wood. SEARCH FOR TUG ABANDONED. Cleveland, O., Dec. 29.—Lake Erie alone now can solve the mystery sur-| rounding the disappearance of the tug “. Cornell with a crew of seven men. Feeling that all efforts to find some trace of the vessel, which has been missing since last Thursday, had been exhausted, officials of the Great Lakes Mowing company, former owners of the Cornell, announced last night that further search would be abandoned. 4th Anniversary Week Tonight and Saturday A 6 Act Keith Vaudeville Bill The Best Iiver Seen Hero The Frabells Sophic and Harvey Everett May McKay & Sisters Dalton & Craig | with plenty of melodrama, will DAILY FASHION SERVIOR.

A Cryptic Message I had torn the envelope open while I was getting rid of him, but for a second or two, which seemed hours, 1'could not force myself to read the message. There was but one house from which the message could have come, and that my own, for no one save the members of that household knew my whereabouts.

HAYS PREAHES SERDON Says That One Man<Js Better Than Other Only When He Behaves Fim- solt Better. Kansas City, Mo_., Dec. 20.—The spirit of America must not tolerate an arraying of class against class, sec- tional animosity or religious preju- | dice, Wil H. Hays, director general of the motlon picture industry, de- clared at a banquet of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity convention here last night. ‘Guurd against this as you would guard against a pestilence,” he ad- monished. “The country has no great- er enemy. than one who would thus divide the country against itself. Mere agitation and mere motion are not progress, The vicious cirele is not the straightest distance between honest effort and highest reward. Re- member that one man is better than another only when he behaves him- self better.” LOS ANGELES TURNS BACK ON ARBUCKLE Oo-operative Council for Boiter Films Registeps Protest Against Comedian. Los Angeles, Dsc. 20—~A mass meeting called by the Los Angeles co- operative couneil for better flims to disouss the return of Roscoe Arbuckle | to the screen was thrown into an up- roar when Evangellst Cuddy, head of a mission, attempted to enter into the debate in behalf of Arbucklo. Interrupted by cries of “sit down," “throw him out" and “fanatic," Cud- dy accused the ministers of Los An- geles of meddling in affairs outside their province when they condemnecd ‘Will H. Hays, chief of the illm in- dustry, for his action in removing the ban on Arbuckle, He appealed to the churchmen to ‘shake themselves from the mire," and when his hecklers grew more boisterous ,asked them to Jesu; Christ.” three eral places reported winds of 60 miles per hour, Portland, Me., reports 22 inches of snow on the ground and Northfield, Vt., 19 inches, The tem- perature is rising slowly in the west- ern and central sections. Conditions favor for this vicinity falr weather with slightly lower tem- peratiro. Cuddy finally was granted minutes in which to present his views, after which the meeting peacefully adopted a reésolution protesting the return of Arbuckle as “tending to lower the standard of = right lving among the young of our country."
