To-night is the last chance pleasureseekers will have of seeing the sensational and spectacular picture, "The Storm," at the Palace Theatre. It is claimed to be one of the greatest entertainments of the decade. "The Bonded Woman,'' with Betty C'ompson in the lead, is another superb attraction on the bill.

To-morrow, at the matinee, another fine programme will be screened, when Ethel M. Dell's thrilling romance, "The Tiday Wave," with Poppy Wyndham at the head of an all-star British cast, and Billie Burke, the popular Paramount star in "Wanted a Husband," which is the season's best laughing success, will be the big attractions, and to these will be added a delightful supporting programme, which includes a Mack Sennett comedy, "Fickle Faiiey" ; a Hall Room Boys' farcical play, "Four of a Kind"; the English Topical Budget; the Paramount News, and other pictures. "The Tidal Wave" is a scenic masterpiece, filmed on the rugged and treacherous Cornish coast. It is a powerful drama-: tic romance of a girl known as Columbine who went in search of the love that was denied her in her own circle. Her quest took her from the slums to the ocean's rim. where sho became a veritable siren—and flung herself into the arms of the wrong man, and it caused a wonderful sensational spectacle, to awaken her true feelings for the man who really, loved her. "Wanted a Husband" is Billie Burke's greatest laughing success. It is the romantic and amusing tale of a- society girl who' had invented'an engagement and sent out her wedding date. All she wanted was the man. On her one-sided honeymoon she ran into the very people she wished to deceive, so she borrowed a husband on the spot. What follows makes one of the funniest comedies that can be imagined. The matinee to-mor-row starts at 2.
