When "The Gates of Gladness" open wide at the Palace today, Madge F.vans and George MacOuar rie will be seen in a photodrama of great interest. The picture shows Madge, "the World kiddie star," in one of the most effective roles she has yet assumed. Mr. MacQuarrie has a forceful role in which his ex cellent acting abilities are seen to the best advantage. Madge takes the role of Beth Leeds, a little girl whose father is an artist who is unable to dispose of enough paint ings to meet the neetls of his family. So, when the occasion presents it self Beth's father turns burglar and he is not above using Beth for the purpose of entering the home which he has determined to rob. Tomorrow. A return engagement of the fa mous picture, "A Daughter of the Gods," featuring Annette Kcllcr niann, is the attraction tomorrow. Those who saw this million-dollar picture when it was here several weeks ago, will find in it new beau ties when seen a second time, and for those who have not seen it, a splendid treat is in store. Tuesday. In "His Mother's Boy," wlm'i is to be featured Tuesday, and in which Charles Ray is starred, an immense oil producing field serves as the background for several big scenes. Oil wells in actual opera tion are graphically pictured, and those who have had the opportunity of studying this important industry at close range will enjoy seeing it reproduced on the screen. In "llis Mother's Boy," Charles Ray is as sisted by a group of clever phycrs, including Doris Lee, a new 1 -i ling woman, Wednesday. "All for Liberty" is the tith; of a tense, patriotic picture which is an nounced for Wednesday, and in which Gladys Brockwell nsstimes the leading role. Thursday. In "The Tiger Woman," which is the booking for Thursday, .Miss Theda Bara reaches the height of a siren's art. With a skill that is un surpassed, she has portrayed a cold, cunning, remorseless woman of the tipper strata of life, impersonating a Russian princess who, for the love of priceless jewels and money, lures her victims along in a man ner that holds one breathless. The character Miss Bara plays outrivals all previous "vampire" roles. It depicts the innermost soul of a hard, cruel siren devoid of scruples. In the story Princess Pe trovitch, the wife of a Russian noble, is a woman lacking in moral fiber. She is consumed with a desire to live only for money and priceless jewels; to have man become her prey and plaything, casting him aside when he no longer can supply her with baubles and money. Friday. In "The Devil Stone," to be shown Friday, Geraldine Farrar. the star, plays a role widely dissimilar from her last appearance in film here, "The Woman God Forgot." In the role of Martha Marnot, Miss Far rar gives an interpretation of great artistry. She is supported by an excellent cast, including Wallace Rcid. Beautiful settings and pic turesque water scenes of the famed Breton coast appeal strongly to all lovers of natural art. Miss Farrar creates the role of a fimple Breton fisherwom.m, remov ed after the early part ot the story to America, as the wife of an un scrupulous millionaire owner of the fisheries, Silas Martin. The similar ity of the man's name with that of Silas Marner, the miser of fiction, is particularly appropriate because Martin, who meets the fisher girl in Brittany, whither he has gone to subdue his employes who are clam oring for higher wages, demon strates his miserly impulses by mar rying the girl in order to get pos session of a valuable emerald which she has found along the seashore, and which, in her simple, super stitious belief, is a relic of the leg endary Queen Grenelda, of Norse folk lore.

Saturday. In "Her Boy," Saturday's photo play, a strong story is built around the American draft, with scenes of action in a small southern town, David Morrison is the idolized son and only child of Helen Morrison, a widow. When the United States declares war on Germany, he is very anxious to enlist, but she for bids him. However, he is among the first ones called in the draft and is overjoyed. Mrs. Morrison, half crazed with grief, changes the date of his birth and perjures herself in order that he may not be drafted.

AT THE PRINCESS. This week's program at the Trio cess will be varied by a musical comedy, "Mutt and Jeff Divorced," the newest Bud Fisher version of the popular cartoons, which will be presented Tuesday night. Mutt and Jeff, in their newest misadven tures, are exceedingly comical from start to finish. This time the "long and short" freaks become mixed up in divorce proceedings, all on ac count of a demure little girl of the school age type, entrusted to their care by an aunt. Mrs. Mutt and Mrs. Jeff misunderstand matters and the complications starting at this angle pile up until the two principals have much difficulty in straightening things out. The cast includes some of the most popular 1 r.MVK'AJr. EE ONS 1 Ni .'fX lAf Princess Tuesday hutch-makers, ami .n - , "vuuij of unusual attractiveness., Today. Today's photoplay, "The Learn ing of Jim Benton," tells the story of Jim Benton, owner of the largest cattle ranch in South California. He is unable to read or write but persuades Evelyn Hastings, a school teacher, to open school for his cow boys and himself. Jim proves a star pupil and is progressing rapid ly when the sheepmen close the dam which provides water for his herds ,and it is up to him to open the dam. Eefore he leaves he prom ises Evelyn he will only use his gun in self-defense. He is forced to kill a deputy sheriff and in the trial that follows the judge is bribed and Jim Benton is condemned. Just as he is led to the gallows Evelyn comes with a pardon from the governor, and Benton wins out in two ways! Tomorrow. Monday's attractions will include the opening bill of Sara Loeb's "Hip Hip Hooray Girls," present 1 ing musical comedy, a vaudeville review with a company of fifteen members, and a photoplay, "Scan dal," featuring Constance Talmadge. Portraying the worst spoiled girl in America, Miss Talmadge, as Bea trix Yanderdyke in "Sancdal," gives an exceedingly clever study of the pampered New York debutante, self willed and high tempered, but strangely appealing in her moments of sweetness. The scenario is an adaptation of Cosmo Hamilton's novel, "Scandal." The story of Bea trix's adventures, which are results of being left so much to her own devices, works out logically and convincingly, and aside from the suspense which distinguishes the action, it is tilled with humor and amusing incidents. Wednesday. In Wednesday's offering. "Be cause of a Woman," Belle Bennett portrays a new type of vampire. She appears as a woman who cares nothing for what gossips may say of her, ami who is willing to give up everything to make her mother's life happy. The story opens in West Virginia, but later is centered about a little Western town, Chaparral. Special permission was secured from railrod officials for many of the beautiful scenes in the picture. Miss Bennett is surrounded by a good cast of players, among whom is Jack Livingstone. Thursday. "The Grell Mystery." presenting Karle Williams, with Miriam Miles, to be shown at the Princess Thurs day, is a gripping drama of love, murder and mystery. A modern detective story, in which a society man turns criminologist, convicts his own sweetheart through finger prints of slaying the man who is to marry her sister, then exonerates her when a dancer confesses she committed the crime. The story is replete with action and has many dramatic situations. "EVERYWOMAN" COMING. A story as old as time itself when first race children lived their loves a drani.i :is new n tin luifnUin.r rf the future, is coming to the Palace March 8. No play in recent years has reached the same high and undis nuted lieii'M a the mighty spectacle which Henry W. Savage is offering. The story of the pursuit of love the story, indeed, of every woman is mis e exquisite menu ot ilrama, poem and opera, with its subtle philosophy running like a fresh cur rent beneath the shifting scenes of human life. Symphonic music of color and beauty, forms a rare and charming M:mng lor uns quest ot love in drama form. Scenic effects of beau ty and picturesque naturalness, cos t times lavish and rich offer their toll to the splendid production. Sim ple idyl of everywoman's home, riot ous rehearsal on a bare theater stnge, luxurious banquet scene in the new home of Every woman, the actors mass swirling scene on the gay white way on New Year's eve all these are the backgrounds for that quest of everywoman. Indeed the appeal of this unique play is one of so broad a nature that only a soul utterly dead could fail fo catch its throbbing human cry.

Indeed "Everywoman" with its fine appeal to the better nature of humanity; with its interest for those who love swirling color and artistic effects, is a splendid produc tion, such as no one can afford to miss, for its claim to favor is mani fold. Henry W. Savage has given the drama a wonderful staging. George Whitfield Chadwick has written ex quisite music and through all there breathes the genius of the author, Walter Brown, who begs us through the lines of "Nobody": "Be merciful, be just, be fair, To every woman every slierr, Her faults are many. Nobody's to blame." SOLDIER IN FRANCE THANKS ARDMORE MAN FOR TOBACCO GIFT A letter dated "somewhere in France" from Private Ralph F.
