slor.s aro well brought out by the player,
whose part Is that of a beforo-thc-war
southern patrician Scenes In and around
his plantation home are exquisitely done
by tho director nnd photographer, especially
a night lew ot a cotton field. The Inter
iors nro handsome ln staging and mellow
in tint Home may object to the strain
put on coincidence In bringing nbout the
trials nnd tn the Idiotic behavior of the
villain by which he meets his death j but
ns a whole the feature Is milte up to the
best of tho Trlanglo stnndard However,

Dorothy Iternanl, Itobert Conhess and Jack
Sherrlll Aclapied from the stsse Plar of that
name Directed hy nalph Dean,
"Tho Halnbovv," shown yesterday and to
da, follows the acting Version of tho story
ns presented by Henry Miller nnd Ituth
Ghatterton originally nnd ns seen hero with
slock plajers. Although Hohcrt Connesl Is
a good nctor. be lias not tnken advantage
of the opportunities presented tn the role
of husband nnd father. Another fault la
tho lack of make-up to Indlcato tho passing
nf jcars, for his nppearatico is nlvvaya
.Miuthful. Not so, however, with Kleanor
Gist, ns the wife. Hut even her work could
havo been Improved. It Is tho excellent
nctlng of Dorothv Bernard that carries the
piece .lack Shot rill, ns the wayward brdther,
of the wife, shoots himself during the first
reel, thereby not allowing much chance for
criticism of his work. Photographically
perfect nnd well directed, with an intelli
gent musical accompaniment, this makes n
lilting subject for any nudlence.
Ileibert Brenon's big photoplay, "War

lHst week, Is at tho Palace. Tho Victoria

Them Is no end of good music In tha
pITerlng of Mabel Hlnine nnd her Hag Time
Hand, which heads the bill nt the Cross
Kes The act goes over with considerable
npeed nnd the selections nre up to tha mln
ule Foster and Lovott provided a flock of
laughs with somo brand-new nonsenso and
i onslslont comedy. Coopers nnd company
weie seen In nn Interesting sketch. A
thrilling photoplay and a news serial made
a good contrast with the vaudeville.
The Diving Girls will lie the headllner for
tho last half. Frank Gabby and company
