The authors of lombard, Ltd, ,"

to Washington a treat in upstairs

which was offered by a typical No

night. Frederic and Fanny Hatton
present an old problem in a new way
in this comedy, and they should feel
assured that the success which kept
Broadway laughing for many months
will prove equally entertaining out
side the metropolis.
The situations in upstairs and
Down" are broad at times. but a capa-
BILE cast smoothes the rough edges
and the audience soon begins to laugh
and sorrow with the members of a
well regulated Long Island household,
in which the scenes of the comedy are
laid.
The neglected wife who has found
the fascination of cards, parties, and
flirtatious men a relief from what
she imagines are the bores of house
keeping is a figure, rather obscure in
the play, around which the troubles
of a weekend house party are woven.

II was needed advice, too. for all the

The setting OF Lilac Time" is in a
little French village Just back OF the
trenches, and while there is no fight
shown. the war is brought home with
a vividness that at this time has on
unusual appeal.

The mutiny OF the crew, the ship

of Stevenson's thrilling sea tale are
brought out in striking reality In the
nine scenes Of TIE play.
An outstanding feature OF the per-

twenty-three characters, the story

STRAND.

William s. Hart's nrst attempt at
authorship, which also serves as the
medium Of his introduction to photo
play enthusiasts as an Aircraft star,
establishes him as a dramatist of
vtrillty. In The Narrow Trail" a
gripping aim drama OF the West that
Bret Harte knew, which will con-
stitute the chief feature Of the pro-
gram at Moore's Strand Theater
throughout the current week, Mr..
Hart combines with many Of the
high-powered episodes his followers
have learned to expect, intervals Of
genuinely appealing drama in which
the struggles OF two wanderers from
the paths OF recitude to find their way
back to the marrow trair' and "live
clean" are expressed with convincing
forcefulness-
With the exciting incidents that
accompany uncurbed outlawry, a
posses hunt for the bandits and a
fist fight in a concert saloon on San
Francisco's famous Barbary Coast
are carried cleverly disguised preach
ments on the value OF right living
that give this picture the power of
q morality play. leavened by all the
thrilling features OF melodrama.
Mr.. Hart. in the role OF a road
agent, does the best acting OF his
career before the camera and as
much may be said of Sylvia Bremen,
pictured in the role OF the girl in the
honkey-tonk cafe for whom he
abandons his life OF banditry. No
small part OF the credit for the high
ly enlivening character OF the out
door scenes is due Fritz, Hart's
famous pony, known in this picture
as The King" Another element that
enters directly into the high appraise-
ment OF this subject is found in the
wonderful mountain views.
In addition to "The Narrow Trail"
the program includes the Hearst
Pathe news pictorial and Rough
Toughs and Roof Tops" a comedy.
There are special orchestral accom-
paniments.
