COMEDY OF MARRIED
LIFE AT PALACE
A photoplay which fans should not
overlook came to Vhe Palace Theatre
last night. It Is a highly diverting
comedy of married life, with a sub
stratum of drama, written by Petes
B. Kyne and produced by Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation under the able
direction of E. Mason Hopper, called
“Brothefs Under the Skin.”
The tfwo men whose sub-cutaneous
brotherhood is made manifest in the
film are Craddock, a humble shipping
clerk id a New York plumbing busi
ness and Kirtland, the vice president
-and manager of the firm. Both are
having trouble with their wives—and
for very similar causes. *
Director Hopper wftB given a mag
nillcent cast in the persons of Helene
Chadwick ami Pat O’Malley as the
poor couple, Claire Windsor and
Norman Kerry as the wealthy couple,
and Mae Busch as a divorcee. They
give the picture a verve and veracious
vividness which puts "Brothers Under
the Skin” in the class of flrstrate en
tertainment.
MAY McAVOY LAST
TIME PALACE TONNIGHT
Tlirw 4 pessimistic persons who
bewail the "cheapness” of motion
pictures should all see "Morals,”
which opened last night at the
Coliseum Theatre, with May Mc
Avoy in the stellar rote.
For “Morals” Is none other than a
icreen version of that delightfully
whimsical novel by William J. Locke,
,4The Morals of Marcus Onleyne.”
Those who admired the remarka
ble human appeal of May McAvoy
in "Sentimental Tommy” will have
additional cause to commend that
quality after seeing "Morals.” She
makes the little Anglo-Turkish harem
girl a real person, a maid whose de
veloping character provides new plea
sures as the picture proceeds on
Jts way.
William P. Carleton is an excel
lent choice for Sir Marcus Ordeyne.
The same dignified appearance and
underlying emotional ability thal
made successful'his work in “Inside
the Cup” stood him in good stead
for the scenes where his staid Eng
lish household Is thoroughly upset
by the innocent nnconventlonalltics
of the surprising Caroltta.
Kathyln Williams Is splendid as
usual in the important role of Judith
Malnwaring. Other players complet
ing a really fine cast Include William
E. Lawrence. Brigetn Clark, Sydney
Bracey, Starke Patterson, Nicholas
de Ruiz and Marian Skinner.
“BEGGAR IN f*LTRPLE”
AT PALACE TUESDAY
i King Solomon, famed for his wisv
t^om, his Wealth; his magnificence
apid his pultipllcity of wives, said,
“£ven a kiqg without love Is only a
beggar in purple.”
Out of his wisdom and experience

out of experience tljat John Har
grave quoted them. Ffargrave is the
hero of “A Beggar In Purple," the
Edgar Lewis-Pathe feature photoplay
showing at the Palace Theatre Tues
day and Wednesday.

frcyn operas, haunting waltz melo

and swing of jazs made up tlie pro

from Mile. Modiste.

voice of great range and clearness.
His manner is pleasing and his se
lection of songs appeals to all.
Mr. Schell will appear again
Wednesday afternoon and Wednes
day evening, giving an entirely d.f
ferent program at each performance.
Interesting Lecture
Find yourself and save yourself and
the whole world will he saved was
the message given by J. Franklin
Babb, lecturer, in an interesting and
entertaining address on “The Real
Faith or The Way Out." Mr. Babb is
a splendid speaker, and a clever hu
morist. With a few words he car
ried his audience through a deep
pathos to bring them to laughter in
his following sentence. His address
was inspiring in its optimistic out
look on the future of the world1
through the salvation of the Indi
vidual by himself. The brotherhood

Find Rare U. S. Stamp in Italy
One uf the rarest of early liuited States
stamps recently was discovered in Italy
where it has lioen hidden for more than
75 years. It is valued at *7 500 Made in
Baltimore in 1845, when James M.
Buchanan was puetnuunr, it preosded
government issues of 5 anil 10-eent stamps.
So far as known, there are only six speci
mens of this issue in existence, and at a
Paris sale last year one of these stamps
was bought for $6,000 by an American.
The stamp fouud in Italy is said to lie dis
tinguished from all other known copies
because it shows all of the four outside

Lubricating Tight Windows
. A better method than planing down the
guide strips to make Lghl-htLng windows
open and close easily, is to use a suitable
lubricant on the guide). An excellent solu
tion for the purpose is a mixture of
paraffin and turpentine. Dissolve as
much paraffin in turpentine as possible,
by shaving the paraffin and allowing the
mixture to stand for a few days. Apply
the solution liberally to the window guides
with a brush, going over them two or
three times. The turpentine will evapo
rate and leave a ootaieas film of paraffin on
the guides. After this treatment the win
dows will slide freely, regardless of weather
conditions. « * «

living, to save enough of these, each
man in his own soul, is to save

Education, religion and law, each

man yet none the way oui, said
Babb. Tlyre never has been a time
when a boy or girl did not need a
collegiate training, the adherence to
religious creed and to the law of
man is admirable In every person
who stands in staunch defense of
them, yet they are not the way out.
“You yourself are the way out,"
^sald Babb. "Begin making the world
right in the home.” In finding him
self every man must give human kind
ness divinely Inspired, lie must use
common sense, “the ability to do the
right thing at the right time and
not to siob over," must recognize the

“even should he go broke," and if he
