CLEVER CANINE IN

“Boots," the clever canine who
|jlays an important role in "A Dan
gerous Pastime,” has appeared in
support of Lew Cody in previous mo

an offer to he featured in flints, or
rather, to be more exact, his own
er (Cody) lias had an offer to star
the animal in the flints. “Boots”
I vows that if his master accepts the
offer then Joe Martin, Black Beauty
and- the Universal lions will be
shorn of their laurels.

Coliseum Tuesday and Wednesday.
“THE MASQUEBADER”
COMING TO PALACE

Guy Bates Post’s appearance as the
star in the screen version of “The
Masquerader,” the Richard , Walton
Tully production and a First Na

I’alace Theatre nevt Thursday Is a
notable' event, for this reason, in ad

reputation in the theatrical world.
Furthermore, the direi (ion by James
Young and the superlative support
ing tast that will be seen in this pic
ture are Insurance of its high qual
