Photoplay Features.
Columbia.

Although the photoplay feature. Miss
George Washington" with Marguerite
Clark as the picture star. Is literally
pa acking the Columbia Theater the first
half of this week, there are other good
things in the way of entertainment on
the program, among them Sidney Drew
and his wife in a seasonable picture skit.

an unforgettable way the duty of max
ing others thankful the last Thursday in
November: the Bray cartoon. Now You

Liar" in more of his matrimonial tribu-
lations. and the Pathe news.
The chief attraction, however, is Miss
George Washington" a lass who won a
medal at school offered by a truth soci-
ETY. because her teacher thought her in
capable of telling falsehood, although
her schoolmates knew otherwise and
seemed to love her for it. The picture
presents a number of amusing situations,
one of them in which the truthful miss"
cleverly gets herself and her chum out
of an amusing dilemma by claiming a
young diplomat as her husband. After
many laughable developments, however.
she loses her heart and is forced to tell
the truth to the young diplomat who has
already lost his heart to her.

Polls.

Pretty girls in vari-co!ored costumes,
with catchy songs and plenty of action
almost obscure the plot wound up In
the musical comedy" Mutt and jeff 8
Wedding" at the Poll Theater this
week. Mutt and Jeff. the Bud Fisher
creations, are, as might be expected,
in action and in trouble all the time
from the moment they fall out OF the
aeroplane until they are obscured by
the last curtain
Either in bachelorhood or married Ire
the two are inseparable, and their con-
trastng dispositions furnish the basis
for their comical entanglements.
Although the show is described as
musical comedy. it is really good bur

tertainment is of a type which appeals

vantage in the picture story of The
Men She Married. featuring Gail Kane

A young heiress is 1ure,l into a mock
marriage by an adventurer whose sole
object is to obtain as much of her for

At the propitiouS moment he deserts
her. and as time passes she believes him
dead. Then great love comes into

er. without revealing her secret. For a
time all goes well and happiness seems
at last to have arrived, when her hopes
are dashed by the return of her pseudo
husband who begins a system of bla elk
mail. Gail Kane, in an extremely diff
cult role, gives a characterization at
all times satisfa ctory. and the work of
the supporting east, which includes Ar
