CTS in the support include Rockliffe Fellowes and Jack Mulhall. The picture is an underworld story of the 'most thrilling sort and it is as clean as a hounds tooth. Those who like thrilling screen fare shouldn't miss "Silence." The co-feature is Code of the Northwest" a gripping melo- drama of the big woods with Sandow the wonder dog in the major role. Another chapter of "The Mystery Pilot" as we'll as a comedy and news reel will also be shown.

LEW WILLIAMS IN HIS NEW REVUE
Popular Comedian and Chic-
 Chic Girls at Palace

"Jolly' Lew Williams will be at Chic Chic Revue" Lew Williams always a favorite in New Britain is is said to have a bigger, better and funnier show than ever.
 With Williams is George Rubin and Fairclough and McEvoy. Lew carries twenty people in the cast and a gorgeous array of scenery.
 "The Chic-Chic Revue" will pre- sent a new program on Monday and Thursday.
 The feature picture for this pro- gram is Frank Lloyd's best since the Sea Hawk" Winds of Chance" with a large cast of big stars.
 Winds of Chance is one of the few big pictures that might be justly termed great for any one of three reasons. In the first place, Rex Beach, the foremost writer of Alaskan development and history, is the creator of the story. Secondly, Frank Lloyd, who does big things with finesse and keen understanding of public intelligence, has visualized the story, and thirdly, he has been wise enough to give every character of his play to a capable actor, most of which are recognized stars of the first magnitude and who as a whole give exceptional interpretations of the authors dream people. Ben Lyon, Anna Q. Nilsson, Viola Dana, Hobart Bosworth, Philo McCollough and many others have leading roles in this picture.
 Winds of chance" dealing with the romance and the struggle that was the gold rush to the Yukon in 1S97-9S, the picture presents the first accurate conception of the event that brought thousands of eager men and women into the Arctic to face untold hardships in their lust for

the theme being of Lucifer, thrown from Heaven with the promise of one hour of bliss within the gates of Paradise for each soul which re- sists him. Adolphe Menjou, as Lu- cifer gives a remarkable perform ance of the modern Satan, and it is doubted that there was better man for this role to be found in the entire film colony.
 The story is modern in every res- pect and deals a great bit with mod ern youth and it's temptations, so- ciety, high life, and plenty of jazz, with of course it warning and moral.
 Ricardo Cortez, Carol Dempster, and I.ya de Putt, the other featured players are deserving of great words of praise. Cortez, in blossoming out as dramatic actor, gives fine &C., count of himself. Nothing more need be said of the performance of Carol Dempster than to write-the perfect Griffith heroine, and as for Lya de Putt, she's a revelation in this pie ture.
 In adapting Sorrows of Satan" for the screen. John Russell has laid the story against the background provided by a modern city.
 There will be two complete shows on Sunday night with the second be- ginning at S:30 and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there will be continuous shows daily with the feature appearing at 2:45, 4:50, zoo and 9:05.
 w. s. Jeffs, the musical director, has arranged Q special musical score for the production which will be we'll liked, as will his overture.
 For the last half of the week two big attractions will be offered. One will present Laura LaPlante in Her Big Night" a delightful comedy of mistaken identity and with Miss La- Plante playing the greatest dual role over seen in the movies. She actu- ally kisses herself at the finish in this dual role. This is claimed the great est step ever accomplished in making a dual role. The companion feature offers the stirring melodrama, Across the Pacific.' tale of the Philippine campaign and with Monte Blue in the featured role. U

 One sequence alone in this picture is a dandy. It shows the lightning dancing of hundred of more skel tering Charleston dancers in bril- liant cafe while the black boys ba- room the saxophone and battle the drum in mad orgy of dancing and jazz.

made his home with her for some time
in his youth. Celebrated as states
man and orator, Sir George is equally
famous as a historian, presenting his
facts with the ease and grace of his
distinguished uncle. In this country,
the works of Trevelyan have a wide
vogue among historians who de-
scribed political conditions in England
at the outbreak and during the prog
ress Of the War of Independence. The
Briton's admiration for Franklin and
his painstaking search into all the
windings of the family in Northamp-
tonshire and in the colonies, led to
the first Franklin cult. now so wide
spread. Few scholars have arraigned
George III and Lord North more
scatchingly than Lord Macaulay's
nephew. Sir George has occupied
seat in six Liberal cabinets and but
for his advanced years he would have
been proffered one in the coalition
council of Mr.. Ramsay Macdonald.
Through both parents he descends
from ancient families of Cornwall.

summarily placed on a vessel bound
for Rio de Janeiro, and he made the

Many important Americans are woven
into the play including Gen. William

to 1886, and a friend and sympathizer
of the Bonapartist; the poet Fitz-
Green Halleck and many of the Liv-
ingstons, Hamitons and Clintons. The

performed in the open air on the river

which numbered many thousands. The
festival lasted for two weeks and prac-

out for the performance of the Ninth

ing the ceiling of the Sis

his scaffolds, seventy feet
high, and employed the
best fresco artists in Italy
to fill in the color. But
they could not grasp the
tremendous conception. In
wrath he discharged them
all and obliterated all
they had done. And for
four years he worked on
the task alone.
Often, for days, he would
not leave the building.
He drew up food by q
string and slept on the
scaffolding without chang

At the completion of
the task Michelangelo
was thirty-nine years old.
For a time he thought
that he had done his last
work. "My life is there

wrote. But fifty fruitful
years of art were yet

CHICAGO BUTTER MARTS
FIRM AND MORE ACTIVE
Higher Level of Prices Shown
Early in Week, Maintaining
Previous Advances.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The butter
markets ruled firm and more active
at higher level of prices during the
first half Of the week indicating that
the price advances which occurred
last week We're warranted. At the
time 1t was feared by many that the
advance could not be maintained.
Others. however. contended that the
advance was only the natural result
OF prevailing conditions. AS the week
opened there was considerable evil
dence that prices would advance.
Receipts at the four markets aver,
aged quite close TO those OF the week
before, and demand showed improve
ment. Receipts of medium and lower
grades Of butter on all markets were
barely sufficient to take care of the
demand, and these grades were at all
times in a Arm position.
Under a fairly active buying de-
mand on the part OF the large dis
tributors, aided by a small amount OF
speculative buying, prices up to
Wednesday advanced from / to IL
cents from the close of last week.
Arrivals of fairly large shipments
OF foreign butter at New York caused
sharp price declines by Friday and
affected sentiment on other markets
which closed nervous and unsettled.
Foreign markets have ruled easy
with prices working lower while do
mastic markets have advanced. This
situation has created a differentiai in
favor of importing butter.
