at Polls Theater when Jeanne Win.

has come to Washington to reside,

In the same box with Miss Winston
will be VIM. T. Carleton, father OF the
Poll Players leading man, who is
coming TO Washington specially to
greet Miss Winston and his son, and
to renew the memories OF the past.
Twenty-Five years ago, when the
Poll Players leading man was a
faxen-haired baby boy. Jeanne Win
ston was the most conspicuous figure
in the American light opera field. She
was associated with the memorable
operatic productions of the Carleton
Opera Company, and as a consequence
became a close friend of the Carleton
family.
Older Washingtonians have the
happiest recollections OF Jeanne Win
ston, as the prima donna OF summer
opera companies at Albaugh's Grand
Opera House, where for a number of
seasons she endeared herself to the
hearts Of the music-loving citizens of
Washington. Miss Winston usually
sang male roles and her beautiful
voice and symmetrical form dwell
readily in the memories of those who
witnessed those performances.

Garden; "T'he Devils
Assistant Films.

Margarita Fischir will headline the
program at Moore's Garden Theater
today, Monday and Tuesday in The
DEVILS Assistant" The scenario of
the piece is as weird as any fevered
fancy from the pen of Edgar Allen
Poe. and in a way is a companion pic
ture to Miss Fischer's former great
success. THE Miracle OF Life
The Devil's Assistant" is built
about the experiences of a beautiful
woman in the grip OF the drug evil
and false friends. and a false physi-
cian.who uses his prescription power
in an effort to work her undoing.
Dorothy Farley VIII lead the bill
on Wednesday and Thursday in Are
Passions Inherited?" The dangers of
inheritance form the basis of the
play. The many passions of man and
woman are depicted, and the author
adroitly proves them to be OF the in
herited order.
Marjorie Rambeau, who is at pres
ent heading one of Broadway's big
gest dramatic successes, Cheating
Cheaters," will be pictured on the
screen on Friday and Saturday in
Frederick Arnold Runners story
and DIANA Motherhood" 1t is the
tragedy of a child born OF hate and
the nobility of mother love. Other
pictures will be shown daily and spe-
cial muslcical accompaniments will
be rendered by the Garden Symphony

mIuRE OE Alaska"

Lovers of the works of Robert w.
Service should not fail to hear DE-
Sugden, who has been at the Belasco
Theater giving special matinees this
week and who makes his last appear
ances this afternoon and this even
ing. DIR. Sugden not only shows the
country which Service has immortal
lied in his verse. but he tells a great
deal about Service and his poems.
When Service was in Alaska he
worked in a bank in White Horse and
DIR. Sugden knew him very well. DIR.
Sugden at this time was surgeon In
the Canadian mounted police, and
was constantly being sent on errands
that were full of interest and danger.
ON his return to White Horse he
often would recount his experiences
around the post office stove, and
many of his personal adventures be-
came the foundations for Services
poems.
The famous one: "Tbe Cremation OF
BILLY MaGee" was VOID for word an
adventure of DIR. Sugden's.
There Ind been a murder commit
ted. and IL was he who went out to
fetch in the body, and 1t was he who.
as coroner, burned il. Throughout
his lecture he continually quotes Ser
vices poems to illustrate his pictures,
but there are many pictures of his
own experiences whicn have never
been put into poetry and these he
modestly describes himself.

"W0MANH00D" COMING
Another Brady 6Iaekton Patriotic
Film at Strand.

Beginning Easter Sunday, April 8.
at the Strand Theater, and running
the entire week, Tom Moore an
nounces the initial local showing OF
"womanhood."
"Womanhood" starts out by show
ing the invasion of this country by a
foreign foe, the Ruritanians, who are
still engaged in a mighty battle in
their own section of the world. New
York has fallen into the hands of the
enemy, and the Americans are gradu-
ally being pressed westward. They
are almost totally unprepared for
strife, but are putting up a wonder
full fight, considering their lack of
means OF defense.
But the same spirit that brought
victory in 1776, 1914, 1855 and 1898
asserts itself.
The army officials develop a won
derfully efficient regiment of sol
diers, the navy acquires battleships,
cruisers, submarines, and air mon
stefs, and in a sanguinary engage
ment force the Ruritanians to sur
render, and America once again tri-
umphs over her enemies.
The scenario OF "Womanhood' was
constructed by Cyrus Townsend
Brady and Commodore ]. Stuart
Blackton. The production involved
the expediture of more than 81 900 900
and fourteen months of patient, pains
taking labor were entailed in its COM
pIetion. The cast includes Alice
Joyce, Harry T Morey, Joseph Kill
gour, Mary Maurice, James Morrison,
Peggy Hyland. Templar Sake. Naomi
Childers, and Capt. Jack" Crawford.
