As Amy Burke, Miss Pickford 1:
the granddaughter of a financia
iporwer, a victim of all the ills of riei
children and the recipient of al
luxuries within the power of pur
chase.
But all of Amy's relatives are no
as successful in matters of financi
as her grandfather. Her lather, fo
instance, is a sociological writer am
■lecturer, of whom she has not hear,
for years. Her life of luxury is sud
donly ended when her father returns
penniless, and she dec-ides to forsak
her grandfather and live with he
father, in the East Side district
where she “sfaoots craps” with th
street ruffians, dances to the musl
of the hurdy-gurdies and engages ii
numerous pranks with the most reek
ies*s of her associates.

■ the dominating personality of a ma
; who hadn't an ounce of faith in
•j single human on earth. He was th

A DOG’S PARADISE
e*.wu t
Fido the dog and all his hunch
Knter a butcher shop for lunch;
Farmer Al. Falfa coracs around
To take the dog-thieves to the pound.
Fido plays “mad”—his foes turn tail,
And Fido drives them to the jail.
And locks the door, and eats the key.
He and his gang than feast in glee.
Moral: Well, I must frankly say
This talc's immoral anyway.
- JEtop, Jr.
i strangers to Wallace Reid and he is!
quite at home in his role of an im-1
i pecunious ariist in “Rent Free,” the
I Paramount picture which comes to1
| the Coliseum Sunday and Monday,
nights. Mr. Reid used to do quite]
i a bit of this sort of tiling though]
his speciality was cartoon work.
Mr. Reid smiled somewhat reminis
cently as he dabbed at the colors on i
his pallotte. I
i
"It's a good thing," he observed.;
I “that artists like attic rooms, for in:
i many cases they have to uso them
i because they are cheapest. It seems
funny tha‘ art is such a tough game
'and yet pays such splendid dividends:
j when once the artist ha3 arrived, j
; Yet the life of the studios—the ar-,
jtists’ studios, I mean—is most fascin-!
| ating." i
In the pr.ture. which Is by Mam
Pago anil Iaola Forrester Page, with
an adaptation by Elmer Rico. Mr.
Tlckl is an Impecunious artist who
takes to the roof tops because he
can't pay any rent. He goes down
an open scuttle and take3 posses
sion of an empty home. Eater he
meets the girl who has lived there
with her father and stepmother till
the former's death. The Will dis
owns her In favor of the stepmother
and she Is left to shift for herself.
Ilut the artist flnda a secret message
which proves there is a later will
In favor of 'the girl and helps her to
atta.n her rights and wins her love.
Tivs charming story makes a rol
icking ■ omedy-dranva. I/ila Lee Is
the gin. The support is quite ade
quate.
Opening the show will be a two
reel Western drama and the usual
favorite, a Paramount Magazine.
Director Dorothy Cliaffee has made
a splendid selection of new hits for
the concert from 7 to 7:30 o’clock
and special mulsic has been arranged
for 'the feature phoduction.
I "YELLOW MEN AND GOLD"
AT PALACE SUNDAY
• What person with an ounce of red
Mood in his veins who does not re
cover a youthful thrill at n tale of
a quest for hidden treasure? The
old-time thrills have been recap- (
tured and imprisoned for all time on
celluloid by Gouverneur Morris In
Goldwyn’s film version of his story,
“YelloW Men and Gold,” which conics
to the Palace Theater for two days,
beginning Sunday matinee.
This absorbing tale of adventure
1 and confllot on an island in the
i South Seas partakes of the romantic
! fervor, lively action and picturesque
' color to be found In Robert Louis [
! Stevenson's ''Treasure Island.” Two
' I rival factions set out for a lonely!
I Island off which an old Spanish gal-1
ijieon, laden with treasure, was sunk.!
- A convulsion of nature has thrown
the galleon up above the water un
i til it resits, like the skele'oi. of a
i whale, upon one of the highest points

Furniture Is
Now Made Old
By Real Worms
PARIS, Feb. 3.—Trained worms
: Instead of buckshot are now being
ii i used by certain manufacturers of
antique furniture In order to give It
s the venerable aspect brought by age
E- and decay in the real old product,
i- The new departure in this Indus
•, try Is duo to the Ingenuity of a gard
>f enpr living near Dijon. Noting that
r certain wood worms which had been
t- killing his trees reproduced with
i, rapidity, he has gone Into the husl
u ness of selling them to antique deal
ers. Before delivery he trains the
worns to the work required, bo that
the furniture maker has only to
turn them loose in a room empty
0 save for the new furniture, and the
hungry worm proceed to bore holes
In the surface of the wood. When
the furniture has the number of
holes necessary, the worms acp coax
ed out of the wood and turned loose
on more new furniture.
This holed appearance was former
ly obtained by firing buckshot into
the furniture and then gouging out
the ehot.
