Tt the triumphant return of “The Four Horsemen of the Apocaly " the million dollar Rex Ingram production which is enjoy- ing a second nation-wide run. This film is the fulfillment of a dream that motion pictures would one day come into their own as the best form | of theater entertainment and now, years after its original presentation | it has again swept the country on| a wave of popular approval. The co-feature 1s the hilarious comedy “A Dog's Life” one of Charlie Chap- lin's side-splitters literally cramméd with Chaplinesque humor and pathos t has a rather unusual story and the king of pantomime appears to excellent advantage. Selected short- er subjects will also be shown. There will be another bathing beauty con-| t reminiscent of milder days to- morrow evening. COUNTRY STORE AT PALACE As an added attraction for tonight &t the Palace theater a country store fill be held and many useful prizes Will be awarded. The picture program for today and tomorrow consists of two excellent features. What is probably the most unique racing scene ever put on the screen Is seen in “Not So Long Ago,” one of the main features with Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez as the stars. The race which s between the first horseless carriage ever in- Vented and a man on foot, takes | Place on Fifth Avenue in New York | to determine once for all whether | the new invention will ever be used | by the publi “Not So Long Aga” is a picture of New York when Broadway was still young. It brings back to us old familiar landmarks and old familiar | faces. The picture, produced by Sidney | ©lcott who was also responsible for “Little Old New York,” is fully as good as its predecessor. The companion feature on this | program is “The Timid Terror,” with George O'Hera, who is fast becoming bne of the most popular stars of the screen. There is a complete khange of show for Friday and Sat- urday, with amateurs to be presented Friday night as an added attraction. PARSONS’, HARTFORD “You ask me which is my best ¢ E.
