EVERYBODY'S.

Theda Bant in the'latest Fox feature. 'L'nder the Yoke," is again seen as a . | ■■ panish senorita in a series of exciting in- . ulents. ■'.' KOSY. "Destiny" is a strong picture, which Icals mainly with an ambitious man's abuse )f his great power.. . Some lino sconesjol wnic-stricken financiers are shown in this ,)lay. ' " ' '• \ PALACE. Owen Johnson in "Virtuous Wives" says 'hat marriage is " a legalised excuse tor ■irculating hi couples." lie referred to \ T ew York society at its wildest. That he cttows something about his subject is evidenced in the fact tHnt his book; Viruous Wives," wont into -circulation;, of/, wu millions. The drama as pkruriscd is a re--elation of production. For* lavishness ot letail it stands alone. Anita Stewart is the tar of this great production, and it is her nitial feature under the. banner of the Fast National. MARY PICKFORD'S " DADDY LONG LEGS." " D;ddy Long Legs," v which ' .is Mary Pickfo'd's very first own production is. an ■ittruction with Universal appeal. It is idled with children and their doings. Moreover, the children are not every day kiddies with parents and homes, but the little charges of tin orphan asylum which is "adlv mismanaged. The. role of Judy Abbott, is played by Mary Pickford. She is a bIiSS year old girl, full of life and fun, dodging- the repressive methods of the super- . iutend.mt of the'home to run oil and help her companions who are faring ill on the miserable diet 'and poor care they receive. Among the children supporting the slai U the funniest and most freckled boy ever seen4ri pictures. "Daddy Long Logs,. is .revelation. Tho first half contains ho, f most delicious fooling that oyer sparkled upon tho silversheet,. and the latter portion „f i 1.,. storv is a high and potent oxposit°io, of aE Mary rifford can do Vrti.trv of emotional expression Jean Webster's lovely story was an mstantaneous LcSs, m the film is greater. A fourJffit season commences on Tuesday nigh 1 iho Palace and the box .plan will open o.t Monday morning at tho Kosy booking office. -'■
