PALACE.
Ethel Clayton IN .shan..

SHAM" the brilliant Paramount
screen version of the famous stage
success by Elmer Harris and Ger
aldine Bonner. began a weeks
screen engagement at Loew's Palace
theater yesterday afternoon as the
featured offering Of an exceptional
photoplay and musical program and
1t affords Miss Ethel Clayton. the
beautiful and talented photoplay
star of so many screen triumphs, q
fresh opportunity to reveal her re-
markable beauty and her distinct
acting force.
Sham" is a delightful and effer-
vescent satire on gentle grafters''
and their gentle prowlings through
the luxurious mazes of American
social life. 1t is carried forward
and motivated by an appealing and
refreshing love story that has been
backgrounded against the sumptu-
Gus and opulent settings of smart
American society. 1t affords Miss
Clayton a rare opportunity for a
rich display of gowns which fur
ther enhance her charming native
loveliness.
The story of Sham reveals Miss
Clayton in the role of Katherine
Van Ripper, a girl of splendid social
business but who has been left with
a mere pittance on the death Of an
extravagant father. Appeal for
financial aid to two wealthy aunts
is futile. as they merely point out
the manifest advantages of Kath-
crimes matrimonial acceptance OF a
millionaire, whom she does not love
Marriage with Tom Jaffray, the man
she loves. is equally impossible, for
Katherine will not marry while in
debt and Tom is as penniless as
she.
Unable to see a way out of the
dilemma, Katherine prepares to sell
the famous Van Ripper pearls,
which have been an heirloom of the
family for several generations. The
pearls, however, turn out to be
paste. the original Jewels having
been sold by Katherine's wastrel
father. Katherine's two wealthy
aunts, appalled, by the thought OF
the story Of this family disgrace
becoming public property, per-
suade Katherine to give up her
plan to sell the paste jewels, which
she does on condition that they
come to her financial assistance and
discharge her debts. This they
agree to do, and the girl, freed OF
the burden Of debt. consents "a

Lincoln HaUe Chief
Roles.

The twenty third Of that brilliant
series of super-programs at Loew's
Columbia theatef was ushered In at
the Columbia yesterday afternoon,
where The Woman God Changed.
the vivid and fascinating Para
mount Cosmopolitan screen version
of the famous magazine story Of
the same name by Donn Byrne. was
offered as the featured attraction
of the bill with Seena Owen and e.
X. Lincoln in the roles of dominant
Importance. The picture was di-
rected by Robert G. Vignola, who
has surrounded these exceptionally
talented chief players with a cast
of splendid ability.
This master picture teens with
action from start to fnish. and it's
graphic. compelling story covers
half the globe in its swift. engross-
ing development. II depicts a love
that proved stronger than the fear
of the law and led q walker in the
primrose path to face the conse-
quences for an earlier folly and
gave her a chance to hnd peace
with the man she loved on o tropic
isle in a sun-kissed sea.
Miss Owen has the role of Anna
Jansen. q dancing girl and a habi-
tue of B-oadway's night life who.
maddened by her lovers neglect and
crazed with Jealousy, slays the man
for whom she has sacrificed her
girihood. Fleeing to the South
Seas from the long arm of the law,

tective, the part assumed by z. X.
Lincoln. On q steamer en- route to
San Francisco and retribution, a
disaster occurs and she ac-
complishes a daring rescue of the
man who is her captor.
Tossed together on a desert is

swept by the charm and the beauty
of his fair captive and unable to
keep his secret longer, he confesses
that he loves her. They agree to
plight their troth in self-im-
posed marriage ceremony and the
man gives up all thought of return
to the haunts of civilization. 1t is
the woman, who, tortured by the
fires Of conscience, lights a signal
fre that brings about their rescue.
but happiness rather than death is
her eventual nortion.
The picture is OF exquisite beauty
and the settings. both Of metropoli-
tan night life and of tropical life
on the island. are Intoxicating In
their glamor and barbaric beauty.

to the support of Miss Owen and
