THE Maid of Belgium" a photoplsy
with a plot based upon the invasion
by the Germans. is the attraction
which will occupy the screen at Gran
dall's today. tomorrow. and Tuesday.
Alice Brady is pictured in the central
role. that OF Adoree, a pretty Belgian
refugee. whose memory is shattered
as a result OF the mistreatment she
meets at the hands OF the invaders.
Brought to America, she is unable
to remember who her child's father
is. Finally her memory is restored
by a sudden shock. and events take a
turn that will prove. it Is said, sur
prising in the least. Thrilling events
and gripping scenes are a character
istic OF this remarkable drama.

ford and Louise Huff pictured as the
leading characters. a charming story
OF romance and mystery, will be
shown Wednesday and Thursday.
For the remaining two days OF the

Interesting Musical Events
Scheduled For The Capital

The nrst OF the annual series OF
five concerts by the Boston Symphony
/ Orchestra in Washington will be
given in the National Theater Tues
day afternoon at~4:3O.
The orchestra returns after its
seven months absence, with exactly
the same personnel which appeared
here at its concert in March. DR..
Muck, naturally, is the conductor. and
no changes whatever have been made
in the ranks OF the orchestra Itself.
The program which DR.. Muck has
made for this FIRST concert is one OF
unusual attraction and brilliancy. The
Symphony which heads the list Of
works to be performed is TschaiIow-
sky's Fourth in F minor. The other
three numbers on the program will be
the immortal "Egmont" overture OF
Beethoven; the bewilderingly brill
liant Roumanian Rhapsody in A major
OF Enesco. and the "Tannhauser"
overture Of Wagner.
The second concert OF the Ten Star
Series at the National next Friday
will serve to emphasize the strides
made by American music and music
ians. Maud Powell and Theo Karle
are two distinctly American artists
who are among the foremost musi-
clans OF the day.
Maud Powell stands at the head OF
her profession. ranking with the
great living violinists. DeNterous as
are her slim fingers. her chief appeal
is through her warmth of tempera-
ment.
Theo Karle needs no introduction
to Washington after his instantane-
Gus success OF last season. The great
natural beauty OF his voice. the eK-
traordinary power and the tender
delicacy OF tone captivate his hear
ers. At his appearance here last
year he received a veritable ovation
and the combination OF these two
should prove an unqualified treat.

" Cheating Cheaters' Versus
The Man Who Came Back

e The Man Who Came Back" which
opens at the Bslasco Theater tomor-
row night, is the title of one of the
most brilliant New York dramatic
successes, which the Belasco Theater
will offer its patrons during the cur
rent season. The tremendous sue
cess which this production has scored
in New York is shown by the fact it
played in the metropolis continuously
for fifty-seven weeks.
THE Man Who Came Back" was
written by Jules Eckert Goodman.

John Fleming Wilson. The play
was produced by William A Brady,

tunes OF young man who, spoiled by
riches, after going to the depths. finds

gulse OF respectability- The play
