Love your brother as your. self" is the theme of "The Sea Tiger Milton Sills' new starring picture which comes to the Palace Theatre next Sunday.
 In the story, Stills is a slenely, rather stolid fisherman in village of the Canary Islands. His brother played by Larry Kent, is a young Lothario but Stills loves him and protects him because he realizes the younger mans failings. Then woman's love enters and for a time they are estranged but at last love of his brother wins and the star finds a way to bring hap. piness to them both. Beautiful Mary Astor has the leading femi. tine role with Alice White, Larry Kent, Arthur Stone. Kate pric. and others in splendid roles.
 Sills has probably the outstands ing part of his career in this color ful tale of the sea and the lives of the men who go out to cap ture the denizens of the deep.

 Playgoers who recall the famous Jules Verne melodrama, Michael Strogoff," which for fifty years has held it's popularity as a book and as play, are said to have a rare treat in store for them in the Uniyersal-Film de France php- todrama of the same name which IS scheduled for the Palace Thea ter tonight. As one recalls tho thrilling incidents of the hero's ad- ventures when, as Courier of the ezar," he carries a military mes sage over 5000 perilous Siberian miles to the Russian army be- leagured at 1rkutsk, one wonders why this tale of action, with it's gorgeously eolorful scenes in camp and court, it's truly barbaric Ori- ental splendor, with which tho magic pen of the author has stir red the imaginations of two gen. erations, has not been done foi the screen before. Picture pro. ducer5 in fact, have been frank to admit that while it offered per feet screen material, 1t was "too big even for the screen.
