LOEW'S PALACE
"Price Of Possession

Few stars OF the photoplay can lay
greater claim to talent and great per-
sonal beauty than that accomplished
player. Ethel Clayton. who returned
to the screen of Loew's Palace Thea
ter yesterday afternoon in THE Price
OF Possession" Hugh Ford's powerful
and sumptuous perturbation of Wini-
fred Boggs' romantic drama Of Aus
traIia and England.
THE Price of Possession" reveals
Miss Clayton as the tortured, ILL
treated wife of an Australian bush
ranger. who is suddenly and unex-
pectedIy released from her grim lot
by the death OF her husband. Dis
covering among his papers a docu-
ment which appears to make him the
heir to a vast English estate, in direct
contrast to the poverty and squalor
of his Australian life. the girl estab-
fishes her claim to the estate and
takes possession.
No sooner has she installed herself
in the estate, however. than her hus-
bands cousin. man Of striking
physical resemblance to her husband.
appears on the scene and announces
that the widows documents by which
she established her claim to the
estate had been stolen from him, pro-
ducing, as further proof. a birth GER
rightful owner OF the estate.
Fearing fraud and dreading a re-
turn to the old life penniless, the
girl puts up a bitter battle for pos
session, but in the end the man proves
the more determined fighter and she
surrenders her claim and prepares
to depart.
In the meantime. however. the
rightfuI owner has realized that he
loves her and that without her his
newly-found fortune is valueless. In
a tense and powerful final episode, he
abSucts the girl from the stateroom
of a ship and carries her back to the
manor house, where, having amply
proved his desire for her. the girl
shyly confesses her own love that
led her. in the end. to give up hcr
holdings.
