YELLOW TYPHooN AT PALACE.

A note of pathos is struck in ''The Yellow Typhoon," when a maid leaps into tho river to end her life because her sweetheart wrote her that he could not marry her. The scene shown in the First National picture. Harold Nc Grath's greatest adventure story in which Anita Stewart stars. The pie ture will be shown at the Palaceo theater on Monday. Tuesday and We'd nesday.
 Sitting on a bench in a park near the Hudson river in New York she reads the letter over and over again until her numbed brain finally grasps Its import. Still dazed and numbed by her bitter grief, sho throws off her cloak and stumbles rather than walks to the river and throws her self in.
 This is one of the key points in '"The Yellow Typhoon," the story of two sisters, one bad and the other good. the bad one supposed to be dead. because when the body of the maid Is found she had on her mis- tress' garments. Thus it Is that one girl disappears from the world, only to turn up later, bringing out one of the greatest mysteries ever set forth in pictures.
