PALACE THEATRE.

MARY MILES MINTER AND ELAINE HAMAi EPSTEIN IN TWO DR AM A TIC S V CHESSES. The new programme shown at the Palace Theatre yesterday should attract crowded houses to-night and to-morrow, and at the matinee _ today. Every picture of the bill is a gem. Hie two star attractions, Mary Aides Minter in “Her Winning Way.” and Elaine Haminerstein with Mies 'Welch, in the picturisation or the popular i\ovcl, ‘‘The May ol a Maid,” are packed with delightful dramatic situations and exquisite comedy interludes. “Her 'Winning Way” is a story of the romantic adventures of Ann Annington, a young book reviewer on a metropolitan paper. She has written a criticism of the “best seller” novel of Harold Hargrave, in which she says that the author knew very little of women, and less of love. ‘ Naturally she had to prove this, so she sought an interview v. ith the young author, but she is refused an audience. In order to gather sufficient material for her column. she has to burgle her way into liis apartments and protend she is the new maid, who has to look after his chambers. Caught while breaking into the place the newspaper girl is placed in an awkward position, and ■,'j many complications follow that she inses her position on the paper ana her name is likely to he disgraced. Bun fortune favors the brave, and the

play ends with a happy Future for all the characters. Alary Miles Alinter .is exquisite in the leading role, and she is supported bv an excellent cast. “Ti e'Way of a' Maid” gives Elaine Han: inersteiu and Niles Welch unlimited opportunities for dramatic acting, relieved by bright touches of delightful comedy. It is the story of a young heiress and a millionaire's son. ' The young man in a slightly tipsy state, compromises the girl, and she is ioi cod to accept the situation which is brought about. AH through the drama the spectators are moved from one emotion to another m rapid succession, till the climax. A will bo held to-day at 2. 'The plan is at Muir’s.
