CHANEY IS NOW
 SEEN AT PALACE

Tied to a tree, the handsome Ralph Forbes awaits death while a grim execuDioner stands over him with gleaming sword.
 Through window, a moth ,r looks out at her sons peril-and then is presented with the most terrible choice mother can be given.
 This is the gigantic dramatic situation that marks "Mr. Wu,' Lon Chaney's latest vehicle, now playing at the Palace Theatre. IL is picture unique fin Chaney's history. Not only does he wear one of the most elaborate dis guises he ever devised-and he enacts character so foreign to him-even to his race-so per fectly that he fairly seems to live it-but this is an incidental to one of the most powerful situ- ations ever conceived in the en- tire realm of tine drama.
 MT. Wu" is play never to be forgotten.
 In addition to Clancy, the cast of the new picture includes Louise Dresser. Renee Adoree, Gertrude Olmsted, Anna May Wong, Claude King, Ralph Forbes, Holmes Her bert and others of note.

 Yet, Mmme. Glyn's pictures like His Hour," have been ex hibited in England without a hint of unfavorable comment in this regard.
