PALACE THEATRE.

“LOVE OF WOMEN” AND “WHEN- HUSBANDS DECEIVE.”

One of th'e most delightful . and most dramatic programmes of tho year was shown at tho Palace Theatre on Saturday. The two star attractions are Helene Chadwick in the powerful drama, “Love of Women,”' and the heart throbbing romance “When Husbands Deceive.” Leah Baird, ’Jack Mower, and Katherine Lewis being tho stellar roles. The supporting programme is an excellent or.e with a. racy and laughable 'comedy, the Rathe News, and a special travel film. “When Husbands Deceive” is an astonishing revelation og a pointed truth, told in a romance that glitters with -.cnsafonal scenes. It shows the society-bred man to be quite the same as the man who knows only the wilds. An unscrupulous man marries to obtain possession of his wife’s money. First he eliminated Ills rival by a framed up robbery. Then he systematically lied, cheated and deceived the innocent girl behind the respectability of marriage. After the young wife had discovered his heartless nature, the drama becomes a scries of thrilling incidents. A.s a production the picture ranks very high, there arc scores of ravishing gowns and lavish settings and a . vivid climax. “Love of Women” is another powerful play. Helene Chadwick takes the-part of Cynthia, JTorrick, who sues her husband, Ernest, for a divorce on the grounds of infidelity. The judge, who has a kindly as well as legal mind, feels that the young couple, in spite of everything, still love each other, and he therefore gives them an interlocutory decree, hoping that during the six months which must elapse before the-signing of the final decree they will effect a reconciliation. How Iris faith is justified, is shown in a beautiful dramatic p’ay. The box plan is at Muir’s.
