This was due no doubt to the fact that she at one time was intimately connected with British royalty as the wife of Lord Francis Hope, the wearer of the famous dia- mond and the favorite of Edward tne seventh.

Owing to the popular request (that vaudeville be a part the ach week management has made and complet- ed arrangements whereby high ela acts will be given each week, This indeed will be an innovation and a \treat to Palace patrons as the pho- toplays to beoffered each week are absolutely the biggest of the year and capablg of holding their own as entertainment tn any of the best mo- tion plcture theaters, However the popular request for vaudeville with these features has prompted the management to grant the requests of patrons and give them the style of entertainment they llke best. However the management wishes to state that the photoplay end of the entertainment will In no way be eut down as nothing but the very hest of pictures are hooked at the Palace this season. Tn proof of this the fol- lowing pictures are a-proof of this statement as coming photoplays in- clude Richard Barthelmess in “C'lass- mates,” Rudolph Valentino tn “A ainted Devil,” Barbara Ta Marr in Sandra,” Zane Grey's “The Border Legion,” Emerson Hough's “North |of 36" “Ahraham Lincoln,” and many others too numerous to men- tion.

Miss Griffith plays the part of Betty Jordan, a role said to be especlally suited to her and one giving her excellent opportunity to depict the sort of roles that have made her famous. Milton Sills plays opposite Corinne Griffith in a role different from any- thing he has heretofore essayed. 1In this picture he will bhe seen as a modern business man in contrast to his work in “The Sea Hawk"—the husband who is settled in his home and business, who has left behind kim some of that glamour and ro- mamce that belong to youth and the days of courtship.
