Coming to the Palace.

"a voice from the trenches" is the
way Sergeant Empey's great story,
i"Over the Top has been described by
critics. AS drama with the fight
ing sergeant in the very role he en-
acted in the trenches, it will be shown
next Monday and Tuesday at the Pal
ace theatre, The soldier-author with
this play holds the mirror up to ma
ture as he found it in the English
private soldier. His story will ap-
peal to young and old alike, to all
who love pathos and humor, great
deeds and manly men. The New York
.Timese, in commenting on the story.
"Over the Top said: "Prosrective
soldiers can learn here pretty nearly
just what is awaiting them, in both
incident and sensation, while their
folks at home will be heartened."
Like the book, this Vitagraph drama
is filled with anecdotes that will bring
the smile and laughter. Empey proves
that life in the trenches is not all
gloom by any means. He SAYS: "War
is not pink tea, but in worthwhile
cause like ours. NUT rats, cooties,
shells, wounds or death itself are far
outweighed by the deep sense of sat
isfaction felt by the man who does
his bit. There is one thing my ex
perience taught me that might help
the boys who may have to go. 1t is
this; Anticipation is far worse than
realization, In civil life man stands
in awe Of the man above Inn, wonders
how he could ever fill his job. When

At the Palace Tonight.

Poppy" a Selznick- -Picturese pho
to-drama version of the popular novel
by the same name, with Norma Tai
made as the star, will be the attrac-
ton at the Palace theatre tonight
This is the third of Miss Talmadge's s
productions since she abandoned the
programs for the broader field of the
open booking system, at the head of
her own company. She never had a
vehicle in which there was more scope
for her versatility than in Poppy"
and it promises to be the sensation of
the career of this young favorite.
Though barely 20 years DID, Miss
Talmade is noted for the great range
of her characterizations. In "Pop-
py" she begins by enacting the role
of girl of IA, and by gradual pro-
gression finally reached that of a
cultured woman of 80. In a singer
this would be a register of three oc-
taves. This is something more than
a mere display of cleverness; it gives
the story of variety of incidents
that makes it unique and fascinating

At the Topic Tomorrow.

Fielding, who answers to THE name
of "Joy" when in her natural self,
which was the first identity met by
Castle, and to the name of edna"
when she is demon. 1t is Edna
that Castle meets on the second day.
Castle has fallen in love with the
womanly personality, and starts an
investigation to solve the Jeckyl and
Hyde existence. The investigation
finally leads to DR.. Chopin, the Dean
family physician. Only after she
comes into contract with him does
Joy take the abhorrent personality Of
Edna. Copin studies hypnotism and
solves the problem. Copin, who seeks
the Dean family fortune through MAJ
riage to JOY, at will places her under
hypnotic influence, gives her sugges
ton that she must be unwomanly and
repellant to all men and in this way
seeks to drive all suitors from her
until such a time as he is ready to
marry her. All of which would have
succeeded had not Castle found a
way to bring Edna from her hypnotic
sleep, turn her back to Joy and show
the real girl the terrible havoc she
created in her false personality. The
Copin Influence is broken and Castle
marries Joy.
