THUNDER AT THE PALACE One of the most popular types of photoplays now before the public are what is known as dog plctures and one cannot wonder at it after seeing the latest one “The Phantom of the Forest” which is now playing at the New Palace. In this picture there are three outstanding points of interest, each one of which is alone worth more than the price of admission. First comes Thunder known to screen fans as the Marvel Dog—and well named. “Thunder” not only does all that anyone dog could do, but he does it as if he actuvally enjoys it. A perfect specimen of the carefully trained thoroughbred shepherd dog, “Thunder” combines physical per- fection with an unusual degree of intelligence. Thunder shares honors in this ple- ture with *“White Fawn” another canine star of gentler sex. She is both unique and extraordinary in that she is a pure white specimen said to be the only one in existence. The companion feature for this program is “Money Talks” a sensa- tional comedy in which Owen Moore {ries a new role that of a female impersonator. And those who have seen him in thig role say that he ranks as high as Sid Chaplin and Julian Eltinge in the new wrinkle. Claire Windsor plays opposite him. | The fitth episode of the “Fighting | Hearts” series and the latest Fox | News completes the bill. The program for next week start- ing Sunday is Bebe Danlels in “Vol- cano” assisted | and Wallace Beery. The companion | feature is Adclg"'\a Menjou in “The Social Celebrity. THE NAKED TRUTH—LYCEUM Tonight and tomorrow night the | showing of “The ed Truth” at the Lyceum is for men only but to- | morrow afternoon there will be a | matinee for women only. The Producers have selected an excellent cast to put over the mes- sage of this film and in a romantic manner the theme is well carried | out. Jack Mulhall has the part of | the hero; Helene Chadwick is the | girl who thinks twice before marry- ing. Emmett King has the part of | the family physician. Pauline Cur- ley, unfortunately, has a thankless role, but plays it well and there are in the prologue who do some real acting and are a| | delight to see. A lecture 1s glven by an experi- Following the lec- tudes some special subjects are shown which add much to the edu- cational value of the presentation. NO POLICE COURT SSION For the first time in several weeks, there was no session of police court |today. The case of John Raccka, laged 38, of 143 Grove street, charged with breach of the peace, was dropped after a conference be- | tween Prosecuting Attorney ‘Woods | and Mr. and Mrs. Raccka. Britain's ngw air route from Cairo to Karachi, about 3,000 miles, will finally have five airships.

But she {s tired of being always re- terred to as “the ex-Follies girl."” The singer says that, while she thought she had been favored by marvelous luck throughout her career, she felt that she was under a handicap because the title of “ex- Follies girl” had been pinned on her so firmly. “It immediately gives the impres- sion,” she sald, “that you may have good looks and’ pretty legs, but that you have no brains and probably can’t sing. I don’t think I have ever |seen a story about me without ‘ex- Follies Girl’ in the headline. Miss Lewis made her debut Thurs- day, January 28, at the Metropolitan Opera “ouse, winning an ovation singing the role of Mimi in Puccini's opera, “La Boheme,” adjusted her- selt comfortably in her new role of prima donna. 8he visited Mr. Gatti-Casazza, gen- eral manager of the Metropolitan in the afternoon., While at the Metro- politan she chattc = with the Ameri- happened to be there. ' She met Wil- liam Thorner, who had coached her in her opera roles. They talked of sang an Trish love song for him, and he told her that he had never heard her sing more charmingly than on this occaston. She confessed that the night be- fore she sang in “La Boheme” she had walked the floor. Would she |sing in e jazz opera Perhaps, it it | were a good one. And if Gatti-Cas- azza put It on 't would be. Every one had been so nice to her. The |stars had all coached her. No, she didn’t mind any critictsm she received for her first perform- |ance, she sald. She was there to learn and to work hird just as she |had been doing for the |vears. The thrill of winning a Fol- |lies’ audicnce could not be compar- |ed to that of captivating a Metro- |politan one . Stardom at the Metro- | politan was a wonderful thing. She | was reveling in the present, thankful that the ordeal was over and plan- Ining for future triumphs. On February 5, Miss Lewls sang at the morning musicale at the Hotel Biltmore.

(P—A growing menace in the west, the wild horse, promises to unite cattle- men and sheepmen, traditional ene- mies of the range, in a common fight. The Wyoming Wool Growers as- convention assembled passed resolutions urging action to | legislate the wild cayuse off the range. The sheepmen further urged the Wyoming Stock Growers associ- ation to join them and indications point to a united effort when the state legislature meets in January.
