ENTERTAINMENTS.

PALACE PICTURE.S' The World’s Film dramatic triumph “Sally in our Ally.” occupies pride of place on the new programme at the Palace to-day and to-night. Patrons last night waxed highly enthusiastic over the presentation by Muriel Ostriche, in the part of Sally McGill, the poor little slum girl. Sally impersonates a lady of high degree, steals a magnificent costume nnd poses as a “real lady,” the only trouble about the adventure being that she looked the part. “Sally in our Ally” can be summed up as a delightful production and one that cannot fail to please. “The Neglected Wife,” has nQw reached its ninth episode, and the' interest is more than well maintained by the' latest exciting chapter. Numerous thrilling situations are depicted one in which Doyle escapes from his prison cell. He attempts to cross a street, by clambering along a rope stretched from .the parapets of two sky scrapers and. when half way across, the rope is seen to become detached at one end, and the culprit,is shown making a giant swing, seemingly to destruction. A splendid Topical Budget is al'so Shown. Patrons are asked to make a note of the fact that Olva. Petrova makes her re-appearance nt the Palace on Saturday night in “More Truth than Poetry,’’ a Metro masterpiece. EVERYBODY’S. Patrons at Everybody’s last evening simply screamed with laughter at the latest Mack Sennett Keystone two-part comedy, “Whose Baby? Mack Sennett must have travelled a good deal through America to get together such a collection of beautiful and shapely girls who are shown in bathing suits. Quite of a different class was the great Vitagraph detective drama “The Grell Mystery, starring that popular screen favourite Earle Williams and a superb cast of supporting artists. The most modern method of crime detection is vividly shown in this producion. A wealthy, clubman, Earle Williams, is firm m the .theory that every criminal leases a clue, but'in searching for the hiuiderer of his friend Grell, Ins inv '® s * l " gations lead to the conviction that the deed was done by the girl that he adored. Then he is suddenly■confronted with the fact.that Urell is alive, although he had seen the dead body "on the library floor. Fate brings other surprises, and the story grows in fascination. A more than usually interesting Gaumont Giaphie completes the programme, showing again to-day and to-morrow.
