WABNER IV There is something unfeaving and honest about melodrama. It makes few pretenses; It doesn't swaukj Some thing it naive, but nothing in the theatre is more sophisticated. It ever pleads for the right! Its ingredients are good arid evil, and, If It succeed, evil always TMots the worst of It.

Melodrama labels virtue and probity on the one hand and'all the forms of wickedness on the other. It converts, ev-ery spectator into a simpje soul and harrows him to a fare-ye-well. A plav of this kind is "Silence." of which H. B. Warner ia the star; It comes to the New Lyric Tuesday and October 21 and 22 with matinee Wednesday.

It 'la authored by Max Mar-Gin, presented by the Selwyns and acted by a stagcft.il of persons given to the easy description of right and wrong, with intonation, glance, dress, the curled lip, the 'outshot chin, the m-enaclng forefinger. Supporting Mr. Warner is an exceptional company which Includes Flora Sheffield. Frederick Perry, H. Cooper Cllffe, John Wray, Truax, Grant Mills.

That's Molly Winsate. heroine of "The Covered- Wagon," a new Paramount picture, produced by James Cruze, one of the moat compelling screen dramas produced in many years which will be on view at tha Palace for the'last time today. This is the way Emerson Hough describes her in his novel from which the photodrama was adapted by Jack Cunningham: "A lovely lass of eighteen years or so, blue of eyes and of abundant red-brown hair. Her mouth smiling to show white, even teeth was wide enough for -comfort in a kiss, and turned 'up strongly at the.

corners, so that her face always seemed sunny and carefree, were it not for the recurrent gra.ve, almost of ths eyes in moments of rerose." "STORY WITHOUT A NAME" "The Story without LI tho new Paramount picture coining to the Palace- for four days starting Sunday is a radio-rom-ance, featuring Agnos Ayres and Antonio M'oren. The picture is an a.daption by Victor Irvln of the Photoplay Magazine Pi-ize-Titlo story by Ar- tlvur Stringer. Picture patrons of late have been more or less fed up on "hisrli-so- ciety" pictures, no-called "supper- specials," lavishly produced, etc. But now for something that's really off the beaten path of screen cnver- with a real 1 kick in it in the lino, ot adventure tales. And that's "The Story Without a lS ame" to a MAJESTIC.

In 'her neu-- i ''Her Ijove Story" which is sched- ulcd for a showing- tomorrow night and all next week at Poll's Majestic theatre. Gloria Swanson proves the truth of the old age; "Love makes the world KO round." Of course, them are all kinds of love. i but it is safe to assume that man or woman wlio first uttered I those words of wisdom had. Iu mind mother-love. Because mother-love is the only real, pura.

genuine, unselfish love that will stand every acid test. "Her Love Story" was adapted Mary, Koberts Rlnehart's story "Her Majesty tin Queen." Mrs. Ilinehart, besclies being on P. of the greatest of living novelists, has raised five sons, so when sh-e writes ot rnothcr-love, it is from the angle of a woman who is thoroughly familiar with her subject. Those iviio read tho story when it first appeared in tha Coamoipolitan mag-azlnu will recall That it concerns the throbbing romance a lovely i princess.

She seerotly marries the man she loves, a noble captain of tho But this marriage Is disregarded by her father who marries her off to a powerful king--. Gloria plays the cart: of the Queen, and Allen Dwau, ivlio produced picture, lias surrounded her with a capable cast. A others there urn Ian Keith, George Fawcett, Mario Majeroni a.ndZonaid Hall. A new noVelty "Kadio Overture" i which the Majestic Symphony or- chestra does some splendid playing- will be n. feature next week.

A. special matinee -performance of the famous "Bridgeport Kiddies.Re- vue" wlilch Iras registered such a hit during- its engagement is to be held the Majestic.

CAMEO Few directors have had the variety of traiing- and exper'rmce prior to their screen careers Jjarn'bert Hillyer has enjoyedl When one knows of his many accomplishments there is no reason to woniier at tho versatility and the deep knowledge of life revealed In his pictures. And this skillful touch.

Is nowhere more apparent than in "Barbara Frietchie," most recent directorial effort, which comes to Cameo theatre 'for a week starting tomorrow night. During his ten years iu screen work, lie lias had the distinction of directing no less than 25 of William S. Hart's Pictures. He to the luce recently to direct "Those. Who Dance" and his appearance thero was in the nature of homecoming, because he had previously made signal success of "Skin Deep" and "Scare of Jealousy" under Tnce "Temporary.

Marriage" is another of his comparatively recent pictures and for Goldyu he did "The Spoilers," Today offers the last i at seeing Reginald Benny in "Tlie Reckless Age." POU'S VATJDEVttOS The Fortieth Door" Today. Poll's is the only theatre in town with vaxideyilla and an excellent bill it is. Bo'bby Heath's Revue, the star offering. Is the acme of cleverness a.nd All the other acts compare- with the main attraction in quality. This afternoon and tomorrow night, the 2nd episode of "The Door" thrill-o serial will have its showing.

"Babbitt" is tonight's closing feature picture. It is an unusual and original yarn about business men and folks that everybody knows. From ove-ry walk of life they come into pictures, some to act sorr.o to direct and Borne to engage in the technical etid. That is home forcibly in "HisHoiur," Elinor Glyn's lateet production, which is to be the feature at Poll's tomorrow night. A bonafide Prince; a General who actually served as a.ido de campe to the former G-rand Duke Nichl-os; a Duchess born to the title and nume- rous other ibrllliant members the old Russian court circle all play in "His Hour." ap.pears in roles tli'at really a part of them; wearing the jewels and ermine to which they werd so long accustomed and which wero so melodramaticlly snatched from them wheti the Soviet came into power during the World War.

"His Hour," which Mrs. Gly-n wrote while visiting the royal family In St. Petersburg, is a colorful drama of love and pathos, and Js brimful of the brilliance always to be found in Mrs. Glyn's writings.
