POLES PALACE.

Sherlock Holmes, the famous detec- tive story now being portrayed upon the screen by John Barrymore at the Poli Palace theatre, is a masterpiece. Not only have the critics who have viewed it, seen fit, to pronounce the photography perfects but the scenes of old London-reaI scenes-and of Switzerland, give the local color to this picture that makes it perfect.
 There is a new type of direction and of acting. The coarseness is e1imi- mated and a softness substituted throughout. Barrymore goes another step toward meeting what is tangible in good society-Iove scenes should be behind the curtain and not before it. But this is not all that can be said in short space. Throughout the entire piece there is a gripping interest that no tale of the woods or recent nediaeva1 offering can produce It is just diff ferent and while the thrill of the melo- drama is present the portrayal is of the "spirituaI' type.
 Polls Palace theatre offer a sur rounding program of Advertisement that is unusual, including the Palace concert orchestra in an overture "Orpheous in the Underworld,' news review and current events, Walter Smith, baritone of the Strand and Ria1to theatres, New York, comedy and Lillian Crossnan and Frank Ridge, musical comedy stars in a vo- cal duet entitled Sympathy from the 'Firefy."

SHERLOCK HOLMES
 A DIFFERENT FILM

There are several reasons why the screen production of Sherlock Holmes" now playing at the PoH Pal ace theatre. differs from most mo- ton picture plays. In the first place it bears the name of that imposing star, John Barrymore, who unfortun- ately is too seldom seen on the screen. In addition to this leading dramatic actor, who plays the title role, others in the cast include such names as Roland Young, who plays the part of played by Gustave von sevffertitz, formerly stage director for many years Louis Wolheirl, who is now creating a sensation on the stage by in tfThe Hairy Ape" is another mem Der of the cast. Among others are Perc1val Knight, Reginald Denny, AL bert Pruning, Lumsden Hare. John 'The Cat and the Canary" but is also the author, Carol Dempster, Hedda Hopper and other well-known men and women of the stage and screen.
 In order to get the proper atmos- phere the producer did not attempt to manufacture stage backgrounds, but instead. transported the entire company to England and later to the old sections Of London, Baker street, the house to which the world has beaten a track: Lmehouse and St. Johns College, Cambridge In to a little mountain town in order to get the proper locations.
