PALACE THEATRE.

TWO RENOWNED MASTEE-

PIECES

Record houses are expected at the matinee and evening performances at the Palace Theatre with the two big super-feature masterpieces , “The Great Redeemer” and ‘The Jucklins,” produced by Maurice Tournier and George Melford, respectively for the Metro and Paramount, companies. Each of these attractions were single feature programmes in the city theatres. “The Great Redeemer” is a story by Van Loan, one of the foremost novelists of to-day. The story starts in a dramatic manner. A t and it and train wrecker break into a house where a girl is alone. The girl fires at him and misses; lie has already been wounded. Pity aroused by his wound incites her to bide him warn the posse comes to arrest him. Lore is the outcome of this strange meeting. Captured by a ruse he is sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. In prison an inspiration comes and he paints a picture, which lias a miraculous effect. The story is told in a sensational manner, the final regeneration of the man being magnificently told. “The Jucklins” is a dramatisation of Opie Read’s celebrated novel of that name. It has thrilled readers for nearly a generation, and was made into a picture in a realistic and lavish manner by George Melford, one of the few great producers in the world. As a love story it ranks among the best, being a powerful romance of a man whom love made fearless. The production is not only a lavish one, it is probably the most artistically produced play of the year. Monte Blue, Mabel Julienne Scott and Ruth Reiinick are three of the leading players of a magnificent cast. The supporting programme is such that it will appeal to all ages and classes. The plan is at Muir’s.
