SHOW BROKEN CHAINS"
Music Good at Palace but Picture Is
Below Average.

With the magnificance of the Pal.
ace Theater and the possibilities or
its stage as an inspiration, Don Felice
is ut his best in the prelude offered
with the Palace bill this week. The
offering is Spring Flowers" and it
used to advantage all Of the color and
lighting effects Of the theater. The
Feljce has some of his artists sing the
famous "Barcarolle" from "Tales
From Hoffman" For the overture
this week he has selected la Fora del
Destino," and the two selections in
themselves are a musical program that
is well worth hearing, and seeing.
The best that can be said for the
feature picture, Goldwyn's Broken
Chains" is that it is staged in the
redwood forests Of the Pacific Coast.
The play itself, which is made from
the prize winning scenario in the
$4,000 Chicago Daily News contest,
is we'll below the average present day
production. The plot abounds in I'M
probable and impossible situations.
Malcolm McGregor, Colleen Moore ana
Ernest Terrence, seemingly aware OF
the limitations of the play are not
at their best. The story opens in a
city in the East where McGregor as
Peter Wynham, is the pampered son
of a millionaire lumberrnan. As Is
usually the case, in pictures. he has
all qualifications but those of man.
In a crisis this Is revealed to him,
and the realization Of his weakness
sends him West to one Of his father
lumber camps, Ito find himself" He
also finds Colleen Moore in the role
of Mercy Boone, wife of a mountain
outlaw. who keeps her most of the
time chained to an iron ring in his
mountain cabin. Wyndham's love for
her brings about regeneration which
reaches its climax when he, single
handed, and unarmed attacks the out
law husband in his cabin. The fight
which follows is obviously faxed and
poorly so at that. andthe climax is one
of those where the two are fighting or
the edge Of a precipice. From a dis
lance. one is seen TO fall, and The
audience holds its breath TO- the next
closeup to see which one 1t was who
went over.

AIIaire Woods Fire
Sweeps 500 Acres

A forest fire. which swept over a
tract of about 500 acres owned by Arthur
Brisbane in Allaire, called out tiremen
of Spring Lake and Manasquan Satur-
day. The area cavered by the flames was
the same which gave all local fire
departments a battle many hours
about year ago. The flames are said
to have started Friday and smoul-
dered most of the day and Saturday
night, bursting into roaring blaze
early Saturday morning.
Twenty cottages standing IN a row
owned by Brisbane were threatened as
the fire swept eastward and it was to
save these buildings that the fire fighters
directed their efforts. Another colony
Of bungalows farther west was also
endanEered, but the fire was finally
conquered without loss to any OF the
buildings. The tract Of forest is located
between the village of Allaire and the
washing plant Of the Bennett Gravel
company. The land was covered by q
dense underground, practically all Of
the large trees having been cleared
away by last years fire. The loss was
estimated at not more than 50, 900. The
flames swept eastward and finally
ended their fiery trail at the crossroads
leading to Glendola and Five Points.
Hundreds Of residents from the shore
visited the scene of the fire and string
of automobiles surrounded practically
all Of the burned area.
