1.-THE SIN FLOOD" COMING AT PALACE

''The Sin Flood" the new Gold wyn production being shown at the Palace theatre this week, has been selected by the critics of photoplay magazine as one of the six best pie lures of the month. This is sig nificant. as the Photoplay Magazine saw fit to include three Golwyn productions among the six best that were chosen for special editorial comment Here is the critics opin- ion of "The Sin Flood"
 'It is a photoplay you will wish to see. and seeing, you will remem- Der. One hesitates to say the ob- vious thing in connection with it, It is drama. with beauty and dig nifty that does not stoop to the melo- dramatic at any time.
