THE. PALACE.

l
 be presented at the Palace Sunday, 1 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The picture is modern because its 1 theme and subject are matters now
 occupying the greatest minds; 1t is ] American because its story Is being lived in real life today in every city
 and town of the country
 The question put to audiences with
 telling force by the dramatic power of this picture Is this, Is youth in its
 new freedom speeding down the path
 o folly to disaster in its mad pursuit of pleasure? Another pertinent ques-
 tion put to parents by the happenings
 in this picture is, what is your daugh-
 ter doing? It Is a known fact that
 one of the subjects of deepest study in
 the minds of prominent members of
 the clergy, leading educators and
 thinking people in all walks of life is | the standard of living and code of
 morals that seem to have been adopted by American youth in the past few years.
 The rouge box, the powder puff and the hpstick seem to have become in dispensable to an all too large number
 of American. girls. The companions of
 these accessories are the cocktail, the
 highball and the cigarette. High pow cred automobiles and the strains Of
 alluring jazz orchestras complete the
 combination that seems to be speeding
 the youth of today along the path of folly in its mad pursuit of pleasure and diversion.
 In Daughters of Today" parents l. and others see this much discussed subject treated i'll vivid, convincing manner until observers come to the realization that here IS picture whose very characters they recognize as counter-parts of either members of l their own family or intimate friends | It IS this trueness to life; this realistic | | touch, showing an intimate knowledge l of conditions that give Daughters of l Today that direct appeal and the smashing dramatic power which have made 1t one of the greatest of screen successes.
 Daughters of Today" carries its moral to parents as it does to ungov- ernable, headstrong youth. To the former 1t interrogates their minds as to the company their children keep, | causing them to wonder if the devo- tee of the cigarette and the lipstick of today IS to be the mother of the fu- ture; to the latter it shows with cleo | trifying clearness that only disaster can come from following many of the social doings of this jazz mad age. It 1 is picture that both young and old, will be the better for seeing. The cast of Daughters of Tiday" is 1 headed by Patsy Ruth Miller whose efforts in The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and other productions have made her one of Americas represen- tative stars. Appearing i'll principal supporting roles are Ralph Graves, Philo Mccullough and Zazu Pitts, who in turn are supported by a big cast of capable players in lesser but very important roles.
