[ | “THE DIVINE LADY” | IS SHOWING AT PALACE 2 1\: \ Perhaps for the first time in mo- tion pictures, a truly colossal repro- duction of great historical events has been used solely as the back- ground for a dramatic love story. The picture is First National's “The Divine Lady,” starring Corinne Griffith. It is now being specially presented at the Palace. Theatre as one of the most important offer- ings of the year, and the greatest achievement of its famous director, Frank Lloyd. In “The Divine Lady,” moreover, even the love drama is a true story. The colorful career of Lady Hamilton, whose influence in the court of Naples and whose love af- fair with Lord Nelson changed the pages of history for three nations, is highly dramatized, but authentic. The immortal love story of Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson is told in full detail on the screen as it was written in E. Barrington's bio- graphical novel of that same tiile, necessitated the reproduction of ,some of history’s most notable spec- tacles. ‘These may be seen on the screen. & - i3 | ANN HARDING AT | | COLISEUM, 1 SUNDAY | = ~ The time honored lover triangle “has been displaced by a novel four sided domestic tangle in “Paris Bound,” a sophisticated Pathe dia- logue drama of marriage which will hold the featured place at the Coli- seum Sunday. Ann Harding and Frederic March, ‘both noted Broadway players, are seen as the young married couple upon whose adventures the story is based, Carmelita Geraghty and 3 Leslie Fenton appear in the roles of the two who, in their separate or- bits, are responsible for the prob- lems which confronted the wedded lovers, as well as the solutions at which they ultimately arrive. Other important roles in “Paris Bound,” which was directed by Ed- ward H. Griffith, are filled by Ilka Chase, Juliette Crosby, Hal Cooley, George Irving and Charlotte Walk- | {er. @ o ’ “WEARY RIVER” IS AT PALACE FRIDAY 1 beautiful blond actress, once again appears as the leading woman for Richard Bar- thelmess in the First National star’s current vehicle, “Weary River,” which comes to the Palace Theatre next Friday. Miss Compson’s first appearance with Barthelmess was recently in “Scarlet. Seas,” a rugged tale of life of the high seas and in the strange byways of the world. In that pic- ture she played the role of a demi- monde of a South Sea isle; in “Weary River” she essays the role of a girl of a prosperous under- world, a world of gangsters, gun- men and bootleggers. Although the picture introduces her as a so- phisticated and calloused woman, she ends by playing a highly sym- pathetic and emcnonal role.

Three sawmills have started cut- ting—Ketchikan Spruce Mills, the Wrangell and Petersburg plants. All of them expect a busy and profit- able season.
