next Sunday evening to remain through
cut the week with matinees daily, AMI
It looks as though Mr.. George KIeine' s
remarkable production will establish a
wonderful record for Washington.
There has been much wonderment at
the magnitude and beauty of some of
the scenes, notably the interior and
garden scenes But the locale is Italy,
where landscape beauty is still a world
sight. The Cines Company OF Italy is
composed Of many Of the wealthiest men
Of Rome, and the Bank OF Italy is also
said to be largely interested in the COM
pany. Many OF the wealthy nobility are
stockholders, and when these pictures
were being made the stockholders gave
special permission for the use OF their
gardens and palaces. BY this means
the gorgeous scenes were produced with
comparative ease. whereas to have built
the grounds and palaces specially IL
would have taken several million dol
lars and rendered 1t a business impos-
sibility.

Poli's-'.The Man Who Owns
Broadway

The most original musical comedy ever
written by George NJ. Cohan, THE Man
Who Owns Broadway" will be next
weeks attraction at Polls Theater. In
this success Mr.. Cohan used merely a
thread Of a story and added lively lin
giles, snappy lyrics, full dose of bur-
lesque, and a fiippant attitude toward
the audience that resulted in an enter
:ainment guaranteed to catch and hol1
the affections OF the tired business
man." He makes fun OF himself, makes
fun of the actors, and makes fun of the
audience. For example, when one of the
characters says that he is going outside
of the Waldorf-Astoria to enter an auto
mobile, the man who owns Broadway
says: Just tell them that you are going
OF the right upper entrance to your
dressing room; those guys out in front
are wise; they know perfectly well that
there isn't an automobile out there for
you"' The Poll management announces
that large chorus has been engaged in

NaffonnI-sVictory.o

In order to afford Washingtonians a
further opportunity of witnessing what
has been unanimously hailed by both
press and public as the greatest wal
drama of modern times, Victory" will
be held over as the leading attraction al
the National Theater for at least an
other week. This film production has
been most favorably received, and al
the conclusion of the present engagement
will be sent on tour of the principal
cities of the East under the direction of
Mr.. Tom Moore. To Victory belongs
the honor of being the first and only
photo drama to have the entire CO.
operation and aid of the United States
Navy and War Departments. This was
no easy matter to secure, and was OBJ
tanned principally to demonstrate the
wonderful facilities of Uncle Sans land
and sea forces in the time of strife.
Around the, thrilling scenes of war is
woven an absorbing story of love and
treachery. .-

Acndcmy-"The LittIest Rebel"

THE Littlest Rebel" from the pen of
Edward Peple, is the attraction at the
Academy this week, with Mary Miles
Minter in the title role. The company is
said TO be an unusually strong one. The
play itself is known to Washington, the
two Farnum brothers having introduced
it here two seasons ago.
War dramas heretofore have played
upon the sympathies through the love be-
tween man and woman. THE Littlest
Rebel" twists the heartstrings more
effectively, for it depicts the love between
4 little girl and her rebel daddy.
The horrors of war never were so con-
vincingly shown as in this remarkable
play A. H. Woods is a master in pre-
senting melodraEla. He has given the
piece a battle scene that is very realistic.
The settings are elaborate throughout
the production. The Littlest Rebel is
Miss Virgie Carey, the nine-year-o
daughter of Capt. Herbert Carey. a Con-
tederate scout. 1t is in the second act,
after the home had been destroyed and
the mother has died, that little VirGie's
father is captured by Lieut.. Col Morri-
son, of the Union army. The play con-
tinues, showing a glimpse of the horrors
of war, and of the sentiment that holds
sway. even in the hearts of the greatest
Of fighters.
Miss Minter is the youngest featured
actress on the American stage.

pictures of the land of the magnolia and
the mockingbird as it was in the old

ton to the interesting atmosphere of the
play, the stage director at Polls has ar
ranged to interpolate into the story old
plantation melodies that have an ire
sistable appeal for theater-goers in
