Her role of Betty Lawrence in this production fits very closely the type of part she made distinctive in such pic lures as "Poor Relations Better Times" and "The Other Half.
 Miss Pitts is at her best in the role of a girl who meets the hard knocks of diversity with an optimism which makes her refuse to be con auired. In Seeing It Through she is a girl who is put out of her own home because of the illness of her mother, forced to live with skin flint of an old money lender, and in addition see her own home terribly treated by a tenement family te which it has been leased.

THE MOlLiONAlRE"
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Al PALACE IONlGHI
 All tides of life arc shown in The Millionaire the Universal feature which brings Herbert Rawlinson to the Palace Theatcr tonight Rawlin- sens role is that of a young man who suddenly inherits wealth from q man who had once loved his mother and who was assassinated by a gang Of cut-throats. The young heir is led by these circumstances to sus- pect that a so-called ''protectiye'' body is nothing but a collection agency for a band of blackhanders, He determines to bring them to time and avongc his benefactor's death. He is supported in his determination to do this by tho fact that his sweet haarr who declined to marry him when she heard of his inheritance on the grounds that wealth might change his outlook on Fife, his na- ture and his attitude towards her has consented to change her decision when. he is successful in his under taking.
 The mystery chase leads through cellars, ball rooms, apartments, hid den doors, holes that open and close in the twinkhng of an eye, and secret passages and halls that were built by the old man for his own safety in which purpose they failed. For another character of the story, Bobo Harmsworth, a role interpreted by Bert Roach, it leads to a woman who is a highly accomplished crook and loyable woman at the same time,
