"MORAL COURAGE" IS EXPLAINED BY
 MURIEL OSTRICHE

The Palace tonight presents in it's bill one of those delightful Harold Lloyd comedies, and Muriel Ostriche in Moral Cotffdge"
 It is an unusual and thoroughly charming story that is told in ''MOr- al Courage" the new World Picture Brady Made It tells of the manner in which a canny Scotch lassie who works as hand" in the Connecti- cut mill owned by old Joshua Anson, marries Anson's son, Chadwick, and then when his father disinherits him, wins a fortune in a striking and un- expected manner. Many of the scenes were taken in one of the big yest Connecticut mills and they are notable for their beauty and excep- .ional news interest. The story itself !s a thoroughly charming one and is altogether different from the ordin ary story of factory life. It is a consistently pleasing tale without T single discordant note in it. Mufiel Ostriche plays the role of the girl and invest her characterization with an unforgettable charm. Arthur Ash ley plays the hero in stalwart, manly manner to win him many new friends Romaine Fielding df rected the production and the direc- ton was little, less than inspired.

ELSIE FERGUSON IN 1.-THE LIE" AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Another chapter of Helen Holmes in "The Railroad Raiders" and Elsie Ferguson in "The Lie" will be seen at the Coliseum tonight. The play is both instructive and entertaining and the fact that Elsie Ferguson appears in the title role is evidence of it's class.
 The story of "The Lie," is one that finds a ready echo in the hearts of most audiences, because it is filled with these human touches that ap peal invincibly to the finer emotion To make a supreme sacrifice to save the honor of another, is trait as ennobling as it is rare in this prac tical selfish age, but when it is re warded with ingratitude as in the case of "The Lie" it's rarity is not to be wondered at.
