EXIT SMILING" IS
 AT PALACE, SUNDAY

By being stupid, 1 got my first theatrical engagement" says Beat rice Lillie, popular English come dienne, who makes her debut in movies in Exit Smiling" a Metro Goldwyn-Mayer production coming to the Palace Sunday.
 When I was fifteen, I made the trip alone from Canada to Eng land,' continues the impersonator No theatre would employ me, but finally one gave me an addition. ; '1 though there were no possi- ble chance of getting the position, so I determined not to expend the energy. I deliberately sang off tune, and acted per-ectlY silly, only to find that by being stupid was engaged for three years. For you see, they misunderstood me to be cleverly funny" laughed Miss Lillie.
 The support of Miss Lillie in this film are Jack Pickford, Harry Myers, Doris Lloyd, Louise Lor- raine and others of note. .

Attractions At Theatres
------------------ HEART OF MARYLAND"
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

The attraction at the Coliseum tonight is Dolores Costello in War ner Bros. screen revival of Be- lasco's thrilling melodrama, "The Heart of Maryland. Unusually beautiful settings and superb pho- tography, strong story and a Barge and competent cast all tend to make the picture a masterpiece. Lincoln, Lee, Grant and other celebrities of the period are inn personated with amazing faithful ness and the tense and electric atmosphere of the times is cap- tured to the degree of uncanni- ness. But after all it is the deli cate shimmerlng loveliness of Miss Costello, with her subtle interpre- tations of all shades of feeling, which make the piece so glamor- ous and so poignant. No one can afford to miss seeing Dolores Costello in The Heart of Mary land" -

Novarro is almost as enthusias- tic over the possibilities of the sound picture as if he had invent ed it.
