"Marooned Hearts" which is the screen
 selection at the Palace for Sunday.
 Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, The
 cast in this very fine production Is
 headed by Conway Tearle and the star
 has the advantage of not only par
 ticularly suitable role but also the ad-
 vantage of being surrounded by a cast
 of very capable screen artists:
 The story of "Marooned Hearts" is
 one of love and emotions, of adventure
 and hardships and of hate and devo-
 ton. The tale of a man who puts a
 capricious woman out of his life only
 to find their paths crossing at every
 turn of the road is told in the way un-
 usual in the art of screen delineation
 The finale of the picture is on South
 Sea isle, where the man, though he
 hates the woman, battles to save her make her his own by main force.
 The scenes of "Marooned Hearts" shift from Broadway and Fifth avenue to an island of the South Seas. The staging of such varying scenes calls
 for a production of more than ordinary magnitude and the manner i'll which the scenic features of the picture are handled shows quite clearly that the hand of a master director has guided the picture.
 A special feature booked for Sunday evening only is Anita Stewart in The Message of the Mouse" It is only necessary to announce the name of this daitny star to attract interest amonr theatre goers so the Sunday evening program has very strong appeal.

There will be many other smaller films on the bill for the evening and the Palace orchestra and organ will be heard ill a specially selected musical program.
