PALACE THEATRE.

LAST NIGHT OF ‘ GIMME.” GLORIA SWANSON TO-MORROW NIGHT.

The last showing of the delightful comedy drama, by Rupert Hughes, ‘‘Gimme,” will take place at the Palace Theatre to-night. It is a magnificent story of young married life, and the temptations that beset those young people who are about to maerry. Clean, clever and wholesome, “Gimme” is an artistic attraction. A big double bill is also shown.

To-morrow, commencing at the matinee an extraordinary programme of big pictures will be presented. The world famed picture, “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” with the renowned Gloria Swanson at her dazzling beat, is one of the great attractions, An all star cast in, “ The Midnight Guest,” is another immense picture. A new story of “The .Leather Pushers,’’ a Monte Banks comedy, “A punctured Prince.” And a P amount Gazette complete the bill “Bluebeards Eighth Wife” is a glittering society comedy drama where Gloria Swanson reaches the shining heights in the story of a pretty girl who found she had married a modern bluebuard—and held him by the most amazing stratagem imaginable. The famous old Bluebeard was a merry old soul who ridded himself of his wives by murdering them. But the ui)-to-dato twentieth century Bluebeard used the divorce method- —seven of them: and as lie wedded each one tlm former wives assembled at the church, to criticise the arrangements and the dresses, because the new Bluebeard was immensely rich. Anyway Bluebeard’s eighth wife was the last of his attachments, and Hie story shows how the tiling was done. “The Midnight' Guest” is a different kind of dramatic story, it tells of a different love of two nature men for a woman who had known life from every angle, and came through right. “The Leather Pushers” is a breezy story with plenty of laughter and Jots of fight. The plan is at Muirs.
