POLA NEGRI LAST
TIME AT PALACE
A new photoplay starring the sen
sational Polish beauty, Pola Negri,
“Mad Love," released by Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation, Is the offering
at the Palace Theatre for the last
time tonight.
“Mad Love” gives Pola Negri one
of those passiouate creatures whom
she depicts with much life-like real
ism upon the screen. It Is doubtful
if “Passion” itself, in which she
leaped to world-wide fame, gave her
bigger acting opportunities. She
sweeps the spectators along with
her In the torrent of emotion and
drama which this especially written
story unlosses.
The story concerns a notorious
beauty, Sappho by name, who has
discarded a lover of whom she has
tired. She overhears the man's
brother berating her for her treat
ment of the lover. Her Interest in
him is aroused and she Is soon the
victim of real love—the only one
that has ever come to her. He is
swept into the vortex of passion
which leads to her death at the
hands of the discarded brother.

Magnuc Johnson, "dirt fanner” Sena' »r from Minnesota, cast aspirations upon the farming ability or
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and it cost him dearly. Mr. \V Mace challenged Senatir Jyiiiison to a mint
ing con'est, and two of the heaviest milk producers at the Soldiers' Home in Washington were provided by
General Tasker Bliss, retired, com.tander * the Jiom ■, who is shown standing, refereeing the contest. Mr.

challenged Mr. Wallace to a bucksaw contest. Mr. Wallace Is at the extreme left and Mr. Johnson at the

“Shadows of the Sea,” which Is
scheduled for a two-day showing at
the Palace theatre beginning Tues
day, was written by Frank Dazey,
son of Charles T. Dazey, famous
playwright who put the family name
into American theatrical tradition
when lie wrote the imperishable suc

in writing “Shadows of the Sea”
for the screen young Mr. Dazey is
said to have introduced a series of
incidents and elements that promise
to place this new Conway Tearle
feature among the foremost offer

matter of screen construction, Mr.
Dazey is declared to have devised
an offering that satisfies that desire
for entertainment to the fullest ex

Conway Tearle, as star, is fired
with a role that affords ample op

talents as a delineator of striking
