Palace Theatre Tonight

! Constance Talmadge will be seen il
the select picture, Scandal" also ;
Mac Sennett comedy and "Weekl!
News" at the Palace theatre tonight
An interesting note in connection
with Scandal the new big Select
production in which Constance Tai
madge scores the success of her life
is contained in the settings of the
Vanderdyke country home where Bea
triX, the spoiled daughter of the fam
lily queens it over every member of
the household.
The Vanderdyke place in real life
is none other than the beautiful estate
of Commodore E. C. Benedict at
Greenwich, Conn.,, which was placed at
the disposal of Miss Talmadge and her
director, Charles Giblyn, by Commo-
dore Benedict himtelf In fact, so in
terested was the we'll known yachts
man in the picture that he also fur
nished his famous steam yacht, the
Oneida, for a number of equally i'm
portant scenes in the story.
Miss Talmadge will therefore make
her first appearance as a Select star
in play. the sheer power of which
provides her with an ideal vehicle for
her initial stellar venture.
The role of Beatrix Vanderdyke, the
"worst spoiled woman in America
gives her a most unusual opportunity
Eo show her talents. Indeed, it is a
rare thing fox a young screen star to
sbe entrusted with the creation of a
character so imbued with personality
and abounding with opportunity for
individual expression.
Coming TOm0rrOw-Irene Castle
Everyone likes stories that are full
of action and thrills. That is shown
by the large sale of books of that de-
.scription, which are read with avidity
by persons of every class. Such a
saory is that of the Pathe play, "The
Hillcrest Mystery" starring the char
hing Irene Castle, which will be at
the Palace theatre tomorrow. 1t is
tremendously exciting and there is a
mystery in it which has you guessing
from start to finish. You have made
up your mind that you have so we'd it,
when blooey! You find that you were
wrong after all.

At The Theatre
At the Topic Tomorrow.

A dance or glass topped table
is performed by Emily Stevens, the
star in "Alias Mrs. Jessop," a Metro
wonderplay which will be the at
traction at the Topic theatre Sunday.
In this picture Miss Stevens plays
a dual role--one a proper and de-
mure girl and the other willful and
uncontrolled. It is as Lillian Ford,
the frivolous girl, that the star
dances. While her husband is away,
Lillian takes advantage of the oppor-
tunity to give a magnificent dinner
party, inviting all her gaiety-loving
friends. She makes elaborate prepar.
ations, engaging large orchestra
and cabaret artists to entertain her
guests. The wine flows freely at the
dinner and Lillian becomes excited
with what she considers her success
as hostess. After the performance
of a girl dancer, while all the guests
are eagerly applauding, Lillian jumps
up on the top of the glass-topped ta-
BILE. Gathering her lacy draperies
about her feet, she initiates the mo
tion of the dancer who has preceded
her. A dramatic scene takes place
at a critical moment when Sir An
thony JeJssop returns unexpectedly
