THE PALACE.

When a story is of such strength as
to be taken over and printed at one
time by over 500 American newspapers
as a serial and when it is selling by the
thousands of copies in book form, it
surely must be an excellent piece of he-
ton and should furnish the best of
material for Installation and screen
purposes. Such a story is 'The Brand
ing Iron" which comes as the feature
picture at the Palace for Sunday even
ing, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
THE Branding Iron' is now rapidly
nearing the mark that will make it one
of the great record breakers among
American fiction. All over the United
States millions are reading it either in
the papers or as book and it is only
a natural supposition that the picture
will attract all of these readers and
many more.
Billie Rhodes in "Nobody's Girl, .
makes the excellent added feature offer
ing at the Palace on Sunday evening.
This pleasing and at all times delightful
dramatic comedy makes a welcome
screen Investigation when presented
with the heavier and more dramatic
Branding Iron"
Palace vaudeville for Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday will offer as its
main feature The Melody Dance, a
terpsichorean and vocal conception
staged by Arthur Low. Included in the
cast of this offering is quartet of the
well known Boston Melster Singers.
The act is in reality a production being
staged on unusually lavish lines Few
vaudeville offering forms c1assier treats
of singing and dancing than does this
beautiful melody dance.
Tom Bennett and Lucy Lee in "A
Vaudeville Lesson" deliver an act de-
serving a position in the added feature
class. The offering runs the full gamut
of bright talk, good singing and clever
dancing.
