PALACE, THE-ATER The Bishops FImeralds. .

Virginia Pearsou's first pIct ure since she arrived to the dignity of having her own producing company. "The Bishops f:neralds. w;ts shown at the Palace theatcr last night. Here's one instance, at least. where an artist has profted artistically by
 making such d change. The Bishops Emcralds'' has granted to Miss Pear son opportunities such as she has not previously enjoyed for emotional work of a high order. in situations which ase novel and strongly dra- nlatic.
 MT Sheldon Lewis deserves much praise for his strikingly sinister and most able characterization of the cold-blooded. Sentlemanly crook who stops at nothing to gain his ends and who accomplishes his criminality with the polished air of the man of the world. The balance of the cast is thoroughly satisfactory, and works in perfect harmony.
 The story is from the novel by Captain Houshton Townley, and is of a beautiful woman happily ma rried to a prominent bishop, who has d grown son by a former marriage. That son falls in love with a young girl from a convent, who, in consequence, is ir- Nited by the bishops wife to stop at their house. Through this invitation the girls father is also invited. Cor don. the father is a crook who has hitherto been able to conceal from his daughter his true character and profession and who welcomes the in Nitation since it offers him opportu- nifty to develop plans to steal the bishops famous collection of emer- aids.
