 COMING TO PALACE

One of the greatest desert TO- mances ever filmed, "The Garden of Allah" Rex Ingram produc- tion for Metre -Goldwyn of Robert Kitchens famous novel, comes to the Palace eh,esday Thursday and Friday, one show each night, at 8 o'clock.
 Filmed in the sand wastes of the Sahara, the locality in which the story takes place, it has authentic reality. It tells the tale of a Trap pist monks love for an English girl, of his marriage to her, and of his subsequent return to the monas- tery after three months spent with her on the desert.

She is supported by Ivan Petrovich, a Serbian leading man new to American audiences, and cast of continental players. Petrovich will doubtless become the new screen favorite on the strength of his por- trayal of the monk who is torn be- tween love for a woman and faith to his trust.
 The Garden of Allah" is haunt ing romance filled with passion, heart-break and thrilling adventure.
