As Fifi. a wayward little actress
whose heart is clean and generous.
in .The Fortunes of Fif,' the chief
photoplay attraction at the Columbia
Theater the first half of the week,
Marguerite Clark adds to her list of
successes in FINLAND a charming little
comedy of the stage in the days of
Napoleon. 1t is a pretty little story
of girl who loses her position with
a road show and turns to Paris for
success. She is cared for and watched
over by Cartouche, an old actor and a
former soldier of Napoleon. through
whom she wins fortune with a lot
terry ticket, only to squander it to keep
from marrying a young man she does
not love. A generous contribution to
fund for the war orphans brings her
to the notice of the emperor, who
grants her request that .Cartouche.

prologue and epilogue, calls for genu-
Inc ability, and the Poll Players met
the demand. The dramatic excellence
Of so large a cast required to create
the atmosphere and provincial morals
Of the early sixties at SO short notice
gives hopeful assurance of what may
be expected of the newly organized
company, of which Florence Kitten
house last night was the dominant
figure. The prologue concerns ven
erable bishop, who, to conquer his
grandson's infatuation for an actress
reveals the passion of his own long
buried youth. And the story makes
the play. 1t goes back to crinoline and
candles. The bishop is again young
rector. and the Italian singer whom his
conscience condemned appears in all
the coQuettish allurements OF her
youth. 1t is not a new story, since
human nature is as old as Eve; but IT
is freshly novel in it's expression of a
thought and a sentiment.
Miss Rittenhouse, as La Cavallina,
conveyed sense of dramatic power at
tanned since her previous engagement
here. Also she was so bewitchingly
true to type in the crinoline and frills
of the early sixties that she might
have stepped from an old Godey's
fashion book to the stage.
William Carleton gave manly inter-
probation of the role of the young rector,
and was correspondingly artistic as the
serene old bishop. whose love story was
buried under the ashes of many years.
Howard Lang. as a banker whose name
came from Holland, played a difficult role
with the delicate care the play calls for
Frances Williams. as maid to the singer.
and Ralph Remley, as Adolph the waiter
were spontaneously entertaining in their
"reminiscences of an operate past, which
included a recitative and duet that cap
tured an ovation. Helen Hayes Brown
of the era of monographs and electricity
was girlishly pretty. and Louise Far
mum, in the hairnet, black silk apron and
prejudices of the past, made realistic
aunt for the young rector of st. Giles.
The costumes were gracefully handled by
Ollie Cooper, Anna Ward, Marie Buell..
Marguerite de Sale and Rose Nelson.
George Palmer gave a character touch to
the butler at the rectory. who likewise
filed the same position at the home of
the Van Tuyls.

factories and in the field.
The entertainment proper, bill OF
enjoyable and varied vaudeville with
many comic elements, is headed by Tom
Browns Musical Minstrels," a black
face aggregation in pleasing features

of fine instrumental selections, and

good of their kind. The bill opens with
a laughable slack-wire performance
by Charles Ledegar. followed by at
tractive songs and dances by Ripel and
Fairfax, who wear pretty and unusual
costumes; Nevins and Gordon. in lifting
songs and dances. with comedy inter-
ludes. one, the climax. in which the girl
makes a real hit as the "boneless cap

who sings, dances, plays the mandolin,
paints dog and turns it into life and
does some clever feats on the cycle

comedy singing skit What Did You

Nan Sullivan and her company won
many recalls for their clever playlet

structed and amusing.
The supplemental films include the
Hearst-Pathe news pictures: Farmer

B. F. Keith's.

Evelyn Nesbit and Jack Clifford re-
turned to Keith's yesterday and were
given a welcome by capacity audiences.
which again demonstrated that these
two vaudeville stars are immensely
popular in Washington. Their act is
not as long as the one given last sea-
son; in fact. Miss Nesbit. in a curtain
speech, explained that her health had
necessitated the elimination of some of
the acrobatics. But her new specialties
proved no less entertaining, and her
versatility in singing, dancing and
sketching was strikingly displayed.
One of the specialties is cocoanut
grove scene. in which Jack Clifford, as
an amazingly realistic monkey, de-
scends from a cocoanut tree and sits for
a portrait, which becomes the property
of a member of the audience, while
others get roses which Miss Nesbit
the singing of an appealing little song
about gardens and June. The act con-
cludes with whirlwind dance. The
bill is otherwise well fortified with
stars. Willie Weston, who has a way
of getting his stories and songs across
every time, made his accustomed hit
Arthur Stone, with Marion Hayes, puts
on an original rural comedy in Green
Goods" in which Mr.. Stone has unlim-
tied opportunity for displaying prob
ably the most unique gestures ever fit
ted to conversation. David Sapirstein,
a pianist of brilliant technique, played
some classics and was forced to respond
with encores. Florrie Millership sang
some clever songs and danced attrac-
lively Emmet Dewey and company pre-
sented a sketch, THE Call of Child
hood" that won immediate and genuine
applause, while Ralph Lohse and Mana
Sterling, who claims the 1915 medal of
the physical culture societies for her
physique, staged some fast and fur-
Gus athletic feats that also took well.
The bill as a whole is one of the best
of the keiths season.

Savoy.

There are thrills aplenty in the Tri-
angle photoplay, THE Matrimaniac," !"
with Douglas Fairbanks in the CEN
trail role, which was shown at the
Savoy Theater yesterday. Not only is
the remarkable athletic prowess of
Fairbanks much in evidence. causing
the spectator at times to wonder
whether his eyes or the camera have
tricked him, but there is scarcely a mo-
ment the plot does not >lead the star
into difficulties from which he is ex-
tricated, only to be submerged more
deeply in the next. THE Matrimaniac"
is based on a magazine serial story
and concerns an eloping couple closely
pursued by an irate parent and a Tilted
sweetheart. Constance Talmadge is
pictured in the leading feminine role.
Today's attraction is Threads of Fate"
featuring Viola Dana, with the COM
