"‘Fifth Horseman’
Comes to Palace
- Friday, Sept. 19
“As a man thinka, so he is" is an
age old axiom the truth of which
cannot be denied. The very chared
tor lines In our faces are Indelibly
traced by our,habits of thought.
Consciously, or otherwise, our
thoughta are influenced by those of
our associates. - — "
Public opinion to but a term for
the collective thoughts of the ma-
jority.
"The power of the press’ to In-
fluence the thoughts of the Indi-
vidual and thereby mould public
opinion has, by that token, long
been recognised as the greatest
single factor in the development of
our country.
However, even the most casual
thinker knows that the "press"
now shares its privileges and re-
sponsibility with the motion, plc-
ture.__________-_________-___1 .
It has been estimated that up.
wards of twenty million persons at-
tend the movies, daily. Exhibitors
claim the average age of these to be
in the neighborhood of seventeen
years. As this is the most imprest
sionable period of life the duty of
the industry to produce pictures of
acharacter conducive to wholesome
habile of thoughte ie obvious.
It is a serious charge against the
industry that many of those re-
sponsible for the kind of pictures
being made are either ignorant of
or Indifferent to the responsibility
that is theirs.
Fortunately for those of us who
not only .enjoy a good movie but
are Interested In the future of the
industry as an Influence for good,
there occasionally comes, along a
picture such as "The Fifth Horse-
man,” to be shown at the Palace.
Sept. 19, 20 and 21,
The story of this picture, while
brimful of action, heart Interest,
pathos and romance. Is typically
American, and wholesome in the ex-
treme. Indeed, most of the episodes
are founded on incidents that ac*,
tually happened. They might have
occurred in any American commun-
ity.
"The Fifth Horseman" ie a picture
that every good American can nee
not only with pleasure but profit as
well.

A
There are twelve distinct fear
tures with the Robbins Brothers
Wild Animal circus, which comes to
Wichita Falls Friday, September 26,
that are really in a class by itself.
Among these are: .
Big lion act worked by Captain
Furtoll—a feature long to be re-
membered by everyone, —-
Mixed group of. wild animals
consisting of jaguars, leopards, pu-
mas, mountain lions—directed by L.
LaFercentia—the dariny French-
man who flirts with death daily in
making three ferocious animals go
through their various stunts.
Mountain Hons, with Miss Ruth
LaNova as trainer. This is one of
the prettiest and most acceptable
offerings with the show. Miss La-
Nova goes through some very dan-
geroue acta. Her performance 14
marvelous.
Seals and sea lions, with Captain
Tiobor as trainer. These animals
ars the poor of anything in tho sea
lion line. His seals are all willing
workers, and the #tar of the act-
Nero by name, actually talks to the
audience, playa musical. thatru-
ments, walks a tight rope and does
balancing acts that simply amaze.
Camels and zebras. This act was
brought out for .ths season of 1924
by May Martin. It is the first time
that an act of this kind has ever
been presented. The Robbins Broth-
ers circus hss the. only trained cam-
ale in the. world. Thla act is a die-
Unet novelty.
Pigs—just ordinary plga. Eddie
Boner has worked for three years
and has succeeded in getting to-
gether the biggest novelty ever pre-
sented in his line. These pigs—six
in number—are highly trained and
go through some amusing stunts.
To say that you have trained pigs
with the show is enough show nov-
elty.
Goats—Ross Asheroft has five
well trained goats. They play leap
frog, do the Leetertotter, walk on
their hind legs, turn sommersaults
—they entertain you: ■
Ponies—the twenty-four Shetland
ponies with the show ars under the
direction of Earl Sinnot, equestrian
director. There are two groups of
ponies.) They do the usual military
drills.___________
The Song of the Doves. Thla iii a
beautiful number presented by Miss
Dorothy Martin. She uses a horse
and twenty beautiful white doves ‘n
this act. While singing the doves:
come to her from all parts of the
big tent and form a beautiful pie-
ture..
Elephants. There is no use going
into details of an elephant act. They
have been used by circus companies
for ages, yet t would be ne circus
without the elephant act. "
Ten Polar bears—real white Po-
lar bears from the frozen north.
Aad they give 'a moot marvelous
performance. Captain Furtoll, head
trainer of the Robbins eireus, haa
rebroke these animals and for the
coming season is presenting a great
novelty.

ATTRACTION MONDAY
"Isn’t Dorothy Mayne over there
a cute Hee. .thing—let’s invite-her
over to the party tonight," said one
r sweet young thing.
“Why, my dear, be yourself; she
doesn’t belong? In our class. She
isn’t in the 400,” said the other.
Miss Griffith’s curiosity impelled
her to inquire into the demarcation
lino of this 400.
"Well, you see,”’ came the ex-
planation, “she doesn’t own her
own evening clothes—she rents
them.”

Bebe Darnels In
"Daring Youth”
—Strand Thursday
Film followers who have been
asking what has happened to Bebe
Daniele will have an opportunity of
welcoming her back again when ahe
appears at the Strand Theater com-
mencing Thuraday. Her latest pic-
ture ie “Daring Youth,” presented
by Bi F. Zeldman. In it the screen
favorite has a role of greater pos-
sibilities than any she haa enacted
for a long time. y
Caat aa a typical society girl
who observes marriage as a spec-
tator and draws unplsasant con-
clusions therefrom, she shortly has
an opportunity nt putting her self-
taught lessons into practice. ,
—As the result of her observation
she marries with the strict under-
standing that she and her husband
are to see each other only on certain
days of the week.
Conversationalists may scoff at
such an arrangement, but it is one
that has been worked out in real
life by no less a prison than Fannie
Hurst, the authoress. Countless
other couples are also following
this example. ' Ths difference is
that while their experiment is still
undetermined. Miss Daniels, as Alita
Allen, draws it to a logical con-
elusion.
The picture promisee comedy,
heart interest, racing action and
a deluge of elaborate gowns end
sets. It will be at the Strand for a
three-day run.
