“YELLOW MEN AND GOLD”
LAST TIME AT PALACE
t'Yellow Men and Gold,” the new
Ooldwyn picture by Gouverneur Mor
ris, was presented at the Palace
Theater last night. It Is an extrome
ly well produced melodramatic com
edy in which everything turns out all
right in tho end lor the hero and
the heroine. But until the last lade
out, thrill follows thrill, with an oc
casional coniedic interlude, and the
beholder finds liimscll gripping his
Beat with the suspense of the ac
, tion.
A tender love story threads its way
through the flashing episodes. Hel
ena Chadwick, Rosemary Thoby.
Richard Dix and Henry Barrows form
the quartet of leading good and evil
characters.
Miss Chadwick and Mr. Dix had
many romances together on the
screen. This time they fall in love
under unusual circumstances.
“RENT FREE” AT THE
COLISEUM, MAKES HIT
In these days of high rents and
profiteering landlords. “Rent Free,”
a netv Paramount picture starring
Wallace Reid, which was shown at
the Coliseum Theater last night,
starts an audience off with a happy
thought and succeeds in keeping
them laughing to the final fade-out.
There is a lively plot and plenty
of action, a good (lea! of which su;»
posedly takes place on the roofs of
two N'ew York rooming houses. Wal
lace Reid plays the young artist who
shuffles for himself rather than study
law In his father's office. To get
the better of the rent problem, he
moves up on the roof, and later es
tablishes himself in a house, the
owners of which are away. There he
finds a mysterious note about a will,
wniuzi is um u»uiuu iu uiit-r euu ol
story and awards the girl, whom he
has met in the meantime, also a roof
dweller, the home uni estate of
which she has been defrauded by
her unscrupulous stepmother.
<Ltla Lee plays the role of the glr
and Henry Barrows, Gertrude Short
Lillian Leighton, Clarence Geldart
Claire iMcDowell and Lucien Little
field are excellent In their portray
a1s.
“Rent Free” is on for the last time
tnmtght.
“THE DEVIL’S PASS KEY”
COMING TO PALACE
“The Devil’s Pass Key,” coming
•to the Palace for three nights, be
ginning Thursday, can be said to
start without a single star and end
with an all-star cast. In addition
to the part of Grace Goodwrighf
played with greaV sympathy hy Una
Trevelyn, the character of Madame
Malot, the modiste, played by Maud
George, and that of Odera, the Span
isli dancer, played by Busch, meril
unusual praise. Laid as the storj
i3 In Paris, the distinctive foreign
■mannerisms of these two keenly in
telligent players are at once a sourct
of wonder rind delight. Rarely havt
the feminine parts of any pleturt
been more admirably cast, for as i
perfect foil to the Innocence of th<
wif\ there Is the demi-mondaine In
sonciance of the rat-Uke Spantst
woman and the worldly wisdom and
wickedness of the French modistt
spinning hpr -spiders web.
Auvuns the men who give some ol
~ I
the finest characterizations the
screen has ever seen, Samuel Do
Grasse, as Warren Goodwrlght—and
Clyde Fillmore, as Captain Strong,
are said to completely fill the eye.
One will say, after seeing De Grasse
prominent in a few scenes, that here
is an actor who mentally and phy
isically lives his part through Us j
every polished detail—a performance i
) wh-ose artistic finish has seldom been |
l bettered on stage or screen. Like-1
wise, the inherent manliness of Hex j
Strong, for all his w ild oats so de- j
haniarly • sown, is instantly
elated in the clean-cut characteriza
tion given by Clyde Fillmore.
"FORBIDDEN FRUIT” IS
COMING BACK TO COLISEUM
Owing to demands, "Forbidden
Fruit," the big Cecil B. DeMille pro
duction, will be shown at the Coll
arum Tiicater 0:1 Tuesday and Wed
nesday of thii week. Tiie produc
tion has been c.uicd back for this
special showing. 'J here are many big
stars in "Forbidden Fruit,” including

with all of ,he wealth of staging;
that is noted in all DeMille produc-;
tions. I
MANY BIBLES
ARE PRINTED;
HERE'S PROOF
i
Shows that Hundreds of
Thousands Are Reading
the Good Book Annually.
j CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—Moro than
j COO,000,000 Bibles in all languages
; have been printed in the world since
| printing was invented in the middle
of the lath century. According to
Goorge C. Buxton, Chicago publisher,!
who pr'emntod this interesting eati-1
| mate at the convention here of the |
I Subscription Book Publishers' As3o-l
j elation.
I “Approximately S,000,000 Bibles are I
| printed in this country and Canada J
I annually," said Mr. Buxton, “and i
, 35,000,000 throughout the world,
j “Assuming as approximately cor-1
| rect that the earth contains 1,500,000,-j
; 'too Inhabitants, It Is evident that all
the Bibles over printed would sup-!
ply nearly half the Individuals of the i
globe with a copy and each of earth's
300.000. 000 families with more than i
two copies. There Is, however, no1
way of knowing how many Ribles of!
the total printed In history are In j
existence today and the distribution!
‘of the Scriptures, of course, has not \
been uniform among nations andj
tribes of men.
“There are more exact statistical
regarding the distribution of Bibles
in the United States. In a popula
| tlon of 115,000,000. It Is estimated by
j I)r. J. S. Kirkbride of the American
• Bible Soeioty that about 80,000,000
people own Bibles. This leaves
j 35,000,000 who do not possess a copy
I of tho Scriptures. In a total of
23.000. 000 families, 15,800,000 have
! Bibles.
“These figures do not reflect with
exactness the religious situation. The
American people are inherently re
ligious. Though there are 7,’00,000
families without Bibles, I believe
there are few Individuals who at
some time in their lives have not
had Bible instruction or who have
not constant opportunity for reading
j the Scriptures.

IvONDON, Feb. 5.—Tho afternoon!
cup of tea, to which pleasant habit j
many Americans fall victim after nj

eulogised in a report issued by the!

Investigation showed that where ;i!
long afternoon of^five hours was in-j
terrupted by a tea Interval, even if!
for 10 minutes only, the regularity!
of the work was particularly notic.p
able. The report quotes workers as
'declaring: “We can face with equan
imity, and even enthusiasm, a period
or two hour.s work with the pros
pect of a rest, but to look forward to
four or five- hours' unbroken work
dampens the enthusiasm of even an
ardent worker."
