PALACE. "On Thin Ice." the Warner Bros.' screen classic, will he finally shown at the Palace to-night. Kditli Huberts and Tom Moore achieve new laurels in this newest Warner picture, which starts off with a rush and finishes with a hung. Miss Roberts' charming youth and unafTeetedness makes the heroine of the pielmv a lovable little maid who

lie. (inics involved in a nefarious plot through no fault oj her own. The balance ot the cast, which includes William Russell, Theodore von Kltz Wilfred North and Gertrude Robinson, does splendid work, while t-lw direction, lighting and mounting of "<>u Thin Ice" is a credit to Director Mai. St. Clair. Commencing at tomorrow's matinee Claire Windsor will be seen in "The Denial." it is the story of a woman who stripped her soul hare Lo save her daughter-and failed! Forced to deny love, she had lived tragedy, yet her own daughter sought the happiness that had been denied her: she forbade if until her own tragedy crushed her rebellion. Scenes of smashing drama follow iii swift succession as the mother reviews her past, wrecked beyond repair. 'But the lesson is learned—that ■experience can never teach youth le love. And the climax—utterly unexpected—is a fitting finish to this superbly "different" picture.
