AMUSEMENTS

THE PALACE. As only could be expected, the Palace was packed at both screenings on Saturday when Kiehard Dix, recent popularity contest winner, appeared in Jiis | latest picture "Say It Again." Dix plays a part romantic and tilled with delightful mannerisms. The story is brimful of humor and mirth-giving situations. Most, of the action takes place lin Spezonia, a mythical kingdom of ! Europe. In size it. is not much, but is j colorlul, and the costumes are funny. ! "The Cowboy and the Countess," a picture full of action and thrills with a decidedly new angle, is the latest Fox Films production starring Buck Jones, which comes to the Palace Theatre tomorrow, commencing, at the matinee. The plot revolves around a band of cowboys on a Lour of Europe. Their adventures on the way over on one of the big trans-Atlantic liners are extremely funny, and their part in tho capture of | the notorious bandit,' Bozarri, is one of tile biggest thrills in the history of j Western pictures. The action is swift, sure and logical, and all of the situations are real; so real m fact that one forgets it is only a picture and. feel with the actors as they ride and fight. The story is decidedly original. Buck Jones,a handsome young ranch owner, follows lovely Elsa Verlaine to Europe. To save his dignity he takes his entire band of cowboys, who have a most exciting and adventurous time. EVERYBODY'S. Suppose you received a note from a. bank that there was a million dollars deposited to your credit in the vaults. Suppose that you found the money actually to be there, and at your disposal to "spend as you pleased. What would you do? This question forms*the central motif of " Joanna," a First National picture, featuring Dorotry Mackaill and Jack Mulhall, showing at Everybody's to-night for the' last time. Joanna, a poor di'ess model, is the recipient of the million. How sho gets rid of it is the story of the picture. A good supporting programme includes a Gaumont Graphic, scenic, and a " Felix the Cat," cartoon. To-morrow night at Everybody's will be presented a Warner Bras.' classic of the screen, " The Dark Swan," with a great cast, including Marie Prevost, Monte" Blue, Ifelene Chadwick, Mary McLean, audi Vera Lewis. " The Dark Swan " is a screen version of Ernest Pascal's " best seller." Beauty may be only skin deep, but, lacking that diepijh," many a girl 'hap found her dreams of life crumble in the ashes of neglect. What happens to a plainlooking girl, who refuses to let her lack of physical maim act as a detriment is shown in " The Dark Swan." In addition will be shown tho "Go-Getters " No. 8; Aesop Fable, comedy; and Gazette.
