bitterly quarrelsome and at odds with
one another,
Caught by a cloudburst, they arc
gathered in a cellar cafe,' and the
cpnviCtlon Is brought home to them

Mr. Perkins’ works of fiction have

ber of years. When he\ entered the

MAX UNDER IS
COMING TO PALACE.
“The Little Cafe'” is comedy piye
and simple, and an admirable vehicle
for the distinctive fun-making of Max
Linder. Originally “The Little Cafe”
Was a nTTTfiical comedy. Thistan Ber
nard, a w'ell-known French Writer,
write it. After a tremendous vogue
rm the stages of France and England
it. was introduced to the United
States with Hazel Dawn as the star.
Decidedly unique Is the plot of
“The Little Cafe,” and deliciously
humorous are the situations, as well
as the funny business Max Linder
injects into the role of Albert Lorl
flan. . •
All tlie world knows that a French
farce means fun. “The Little Cafe”
hubbies and sparkles with genuine
comedy; it’s a laughter highball
straight from Paris. This feature
starts at the Palace Sunday.
