NEW FEATURE OPENS. AT PALACE TONIGHT

The Man Without con- science" a story famed for is dramatic delineation of a man who reached worldly suceass through the power of his own dy- mamie personality. regardless of the hearts and rights of others, is the feature attraction at the Palace tonight and Saturday.
 Determined to conquer money, power and position, Richard Ma sons interruptions methods leave broken victims behind him-but on he goes selfish. greedy and deaf to the warnings of those who love him. lie casts his fianeee aside, to marry wealthy society girl whose love for another makes her life a thing of dull misery. Using another mans brains and achievements, he runs up the lad der of wealth, only to treaehar- ously trick his partner ont of his deserved gains. But retribution is rrthiess-it strikes at his weakeat point, his sincere love for his tiny, deformed son and then filings him into gray eel behind bars to atane.
 The tremendous. emotional character of Richard Masen has been entrusted to Willard Louis, whose rast performances havs marked him as one of the leading interpretative masters of tho screen. June Marlowe and Irene Rich have been chosen to portray the shy, country maid and the naughty society queen. Robert Agnew. John Patrick, Helen Dun. bar, William Orlamond and others complete the cast.
