PALACE THEATRE.

“COME THROUGH” AND “THE MAN IN THE MASK.”

Everything that makes a picture programme attractive is contained in the new bill presented at the Palace Theatre on Saturday. It is difficult to say which of the two big dramatic attractions is the better. “Come lhiougli, which features the popular Herbert Rawlinson is a big production ar.istically produced which grips the interest and holds it intensely till the las scene. A. man with a false idea that money makes the man, becomes engaged to * a young girl through the persuasion of her aunt. Jfe finds out that she is in love with another. An appointment is made by the girl with the man she loves at her house at ten o clock on the eve of the wedding. Smarting with rage the man plans that the girl and her sweetheart will marry each other. A fashionably attired burglar enters the house to steal the rich wedcling- presents -and is mistaken ioi tlie lover and forced into marriage at the point of a revolver. From this the story is tragic in its vividness, lha incident brings all the goodness in a man into the foreground and makes the play a pleasure to witness. “The Man in ’the Mask” is an English Gaumont production of a tensely interesting story in which the action takes place in France. It is difficult to recall a better example of the high tension adventure story, with a beautiful gul with an infant to care for, struggling to obtain, money for that purpose, and still retain her place in society. No plav of recent years has been treated so 'artistically in scenic and histrionic matters. “Sea. Sirens - is a laughable comedy hit, with a bevy of pretty girls with a plot that brings marriage to a seascape painter. It is packed with funny situations. ‘‘The Fatal Bullet” is the most thrilling episode yet offered of “Elmo The Fearless. The minor subjects are full of interest. Seats may be booked at Muirs. ,
