during the course of a season. none Is
more welcome than the refreshing
and talented young Metro star. Bert
Lytell. who contributes In "A Message
From Mars" his latest offering at the
Palace this week, one of the most
powerful and fascinating characteri-
cations he has ever interpreted pe-
fore the camera.
In it's screen form. "A Messag

Mr.. Lytell is capably supported by an
unusually fine collection of players,
including Raye Dean, Maud Milton.
Alphonz Either. Gordon Ashe. Leonard

"A Message From Mars" is a play
of romance and mystery. It's central
character is that of an aristocratic
Londoner who Is notorious among his
family and his friends for his SELFISH
ness and Indifference. Although his
ward, beautiful girl, Is affianced to
him, his selfishness has brought he-
to the point where she Is ready to

mission is to reform the most selfish
man on earth. The manner in which
his transformation is brought about
and the revolutionary effects OF his
realization that his previous course

breaking her engagement. realizes his
reformation and meets his plea for
forgiveness in the way lovers have
the world over.

MOORE'S GARDEN
EAST Lynue.o

Hugo Ballins production OF East
Lynne" at Moore's Garden Thester
this week. is a dignifed rendition of
the time-honored novel of Mrs. Henry
Wood.
Mr.. BaIlin has screened the story in
such manner that the melodrama is
NOT forced with the artificial over
acting often noticed in stage versions
OF the play. His conception of the
characters strips the big scenes OF
their hair-pulling. man-handling fea-
lures and gives in their stead a pic
ture that makes for pathos. The sin
OF Isabel, and the penalty, could not
be better handled, nor can its lesson
be driven home with greater sincerity
than in the handling of the story.
The several plot threads are unined
in continuity seldom equaled, the
great effort which one familiar with
the play will concede that this re-
auired being justified by the grace
full, continuous progress Effected. As
IA consequence, the interest increases
steadily from the opening scene to
the properly abrupt ending.
Mabel Ballin displays marked skill
in the emotional role which is the
star part. Beauty Is sacrificed to
realism early in the depletion, and at
several points she rises to dramatic
nelRntS OF commanding Impressive
ness. Her death scene at the close OF
the picture is fine bit of acting,
brief, simple, sufficient.
Edward Earle, as the husband. Is
capable, gaining by restraint the
realism that has been lost by many OF
his stage predecessors. Henry Sell,
as the william" is also exceptionally
good. other members of the large
cast enact creditably their several
roles.
The plot is so familiar as to re-
quire no detailed synopsis here. How

and returns when abandoned by him.
is shown in such a manner as not
only to charm but to drive home a
strong moral lesson.
Beautiful locations and artistic set
tings of the highest order are like
wise features of the production.
Auxiliary attractions thoroughly in
keeping with the main offering, to-
gether with an orchestral score ar
ranged by Claude V. Burrows, greatly
enhance the enjoyment of the pre-
sentation.
