AT THE PALACE. The Lee Kids, Jane and Katherine, is the big feature attraction at the Palace tonight, Tuesday and Wednes- day. Everyone has seen or has heard of the “Lee kids,” famous child photoplay stars and through the ef- tefts of the Palace in securing their services, the public of New Britain will now see them in real lifs on the stage, doing an act of vaudeville. The “Lee Kids” will be on the stage at 4:15 p. m., at the afternoon perform- ance {o give the children a chance to see them after school and at 9 p. m., evenings. The box office will be open from noon, all day to sell tickets to avoid as much as possible, a rush at night. As a speclal added attrac- tion Harry T. Morey, the Vitagraph star, will be seen in a photoplay ver- sion of Charles Klein's famous stage uccess, “The Gamblers.” It is ob- servable in the photoplay that the camera has been able to get greate actions than the stage play allows. Many dramatic episodes forming the story of “The Gamblers,” which could only be suggested by a word on the stage and left to the imagina- tion, are presented in their fullest de- tail on the screen “The Gamblers” tells the story of a voung man who wielded his father's fortune in a battle against a great combination of other capitalists. The | hero, Wilbur Emerson, played by Mr. Morey, induces his father and two other associates to let him operate with unlimited power in the strife for millions.

The new William® Fox drama, “Sa- cred Silence,” starring Willlam Rus- sell in his first Fox production will be shown at Fox's theater for the first three days of this week. *Sacred Si- lence” is a deep and absorbing dra- ma, marking a departure from the previous screen offerings of this pop- ular star. The story as well as the star is a new innovation in photoplay technique and gives every promise of having the inherent qualities of the deep and absorbing drama. The tri- angle is discarded in this play and a fourth person is involved in the tense dramatic situations that makes the theme of this story. “Sacred Silence’ deals with an intense phase of social life at an army post and is based upon the startling play, “The Desert- er.” A fourth and innocent person, a captain—played by William Russell becomes involved in a triangular complication with his major's wife and a young lieutenant who is bestow- ing attentions on the woman. The captain goes to reason with the wife and while there on this errand the in- A fight ensues when the young officer attempts to shoot his captain, and the wooer is knocked unconscious by Russell. The unfaithful wife orders him to leave the house and while she is endeavoring to revive her lover, her husband enters and shoots him. The wife,” pleading innocence, makes%her husband promise to swear that the voung captain is the murderer and then forces the captain to desert by telling him that it was his blow that killed the lieutenant. All trace of the deserter is lost in New York city un- til he is found by Madge Summers, a detective, who though loving the de- serter reports him, not knowing that he is wanted for murder. Here the story takes the happy turn that leads to the happy ending. Comedies and News complete the screen bill.

It is gripping, throbbing, full of the human interest element that compels the attention of all care- ful students of the drama and holds them in rapt attention. The story is that of Hetty Gandy, a York state spinster, whose kindly ways and agree- ableness make her greatly loved by the whole community in which she Wil- | feeds the flame of his desire | lives. Its needs are their troubles hers. All is happiness in the heart of this whole-souled woman until she in sending away a box of eggs suddenly takes one of these and writes some verses on it ex- pressing a wish that the one who re- vives the egg, be he male, become her husband. The egg is sent with the others, but gets into cold storage and remains there for three vears. A certain man eats the egg after this time of confinement and so loses his digestion that he replies to Hetty ask- ing her to meet him at a certain time. He comes but not to marry. He wants her to be the star witness in a suit against the man who sold him the egg Things look pretty dark for Hetty but evidently the sun shines again and Hetty becomes the bride of the man Wwho ate the egs. The play has been glven a most painstaking mounting and the players are giving remarkably fine portrayals.
