EIGHT REEL FEATURE
AT THE PALACE TODAY
CONSTANCE TALMADGE WV
I'D AS MING TOY, HEROINE
OF EAST rs WEST"

Constance Talmadge and East Is
West "a combination fit TO charm
the most critical patron of the photo
play. This union OF scintillating com
edienne and one of the greatest stage
successes of recent years will be seen
at the Palace theater today and to-
morrow, and will, no doubt, prove to
be the most entertaining production
seen here in long, long time.
The role OF Ming Toy gives Miss
Talmadge her greatest opportunity
and she makes the most OF it.
Ming Toy, dainty and tempestu-
Gus, lovable and manageable, swift
to coquette and just as swift to do
battle in her own defense, is snatched
from the 'love boat" by Billy Ben
son just as she is about to be sold in
to slavery.
Ming Toy fees to America, where
Charlie Yong sees her and covets her.
Bit again Billy Benson appears. Then
follow complications and thrills till
Ming Toy clears the way for her own
happiness by saving Billy at the crisis
of the play Then comes an uneXpect-
ed denoucment which unites the low
ers happily.
The Chinese atmosphere has been
excellently carried under the guidance
OF Sydney Franklin, who directed the
picture Not only are the scenes rich
and colorful, but many OF them are
of great pictorial beauty. In such a
setting Miss Talmadge's art takes an
added value
Among the supporting PLAYERS the
most conspicuous is Warner GLAND as
Charlie Yong with all the sinister
suavity OF the Chinaman whose
has only resulted in
a blending Of the worse elements of
the two races His performance Is a
notable one
Edward Burns is a clean-cut and
likeable Billy Benson, the young
American who falls in love with Ming
Toy. Winter Hall is austcre and dig
nihed as the father while Lillian Law
renee plays Billy Benson's mother.
Nigel Barrie is pleasant in some
what slender role. Chinese parts are
we'll played by f. A. Warren, Frank
Lanning and Nick De Ruiz. They
look truly Chinese even when side by
side with the real Chinese players
headed by Jim Wang.
East Is West" is one of the very
finest photoplays of the year.
