There Is a Bird of an Act On New Bill at the Palace

By WALTER D. HICKMAN TANARUS" HEY seem to be able to train anything these days. -I Even the “flea circus" is not an unknown thing. On the week-end bill at the Palace this week is a flock of trained canaries. Madame Ramsey is responsible for the act, as she trained the birds to go through a routine which looks to be nearly impossible. These little pets go through many stunts without making a mistake. -A real novelty. Three Aces and a Joker offer plenty of melody. The best number offered by the woman is an expression of how a classical toe dancer would hang out the Monday's washing. The men have several good numbers. Nellie; Nichols goes in for the jazz songs of the day. It- is about time that singers of this class stop singing about Kentucky. Phil and Eddie Ross contribute more music. “From East to West" is a dance and melody revue presented by two men and two girls. There Is singing in every act, but the bird act. Come to think of it, the birds warbled now and then. The movie feature is a film version of Zane Grey s "The Heritage of the Desert” with Bebe Daniels and Ernest Torrence. It is good Western melodrama. At the Palace today, Saturday and Sunday. Other attractions on view today in elude: "Ziegfeld Follies" at English’s: Rogers and Allen at Keith's; A. Robbins at the Lyric; "Radio Girls" at the Capitol: “Big Sensation” at the

Broadway: “Receipt in Full” at the Lincoln Square; “The Shepherd King" at the Ohio; “Lilies of the Field” at the Circle; "The Shadow of the East" at the Apollo; “Jack O’Clubs” at the Isis and “Reno" at Mister Smith’s.
