IN bringing inc ADOIn opera NOIu-7
pany to the National following the
run of Intolerance" Manager Rap
ley has struck popular chord among
Washingtonians, for the light opera
company has always been highly ap-
preeiated in this city. Their engage

into the summer months.
Stock All Summer.

Of course remain open during the en-
tire summer season and Manager
Berger is providing for the long siege
by making a number of additions TO
the already popular company. Of
particular interest to stock patrons,
is the announcement that Russell
Fillmore, an old favorite here, will
again join the Poll forces in the near
future playing Juvenile roles.
As usual the vaudeville and moving
picture houses will continue to run
through the summer months and
elaborate programs of headliners and
feature films are being arranged.
A special feature during the coming

proprietor of the Garden and Strand

support Of Charlotte Walker in "The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Since
that time he has become one OF the
most famous stars of the cinema
world, and his appearance here is
bound to receive popular favor.
War Waged with Rocks.
War, as fought by the ancients,
particularly the warriors of old Baby
Ion, was picturesque and exciting
clash of mighty men. Unlike war of
today, it was mainly a hand-to-hand
struggle. Unquestionably it best il
lustrstes the average persons ;iea Of
what constitutes the tumult of bat
tleheld.
In d. w. Crifith's latest spectacle,
Intolerance" at the New National
TheateT, the ferocious battle waged
by Cyrus and his Persian hordes on
Belshazzar of Babylon, one may see
Old World war as it has never been
staged before. This battle is fought
according to the authentic records
that archaeologists have unesrthed
from the ruins of Babylon. And so
faithfully does it reproduce the orig
insI struggle that such eminent Assy-
biologists as Prof. Archibald Henry
Sayee, of Oxford College, England,
and Prof. Morris Jastrow, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, have publicly
praised IT.

BeIasco-"Twenty thousand Leagues
Under the Sea-"

Told through the unimpeachable eye
or the camera, the Jules Verne story
OF Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea- filmed in ocean depts, au-
diences at the BeIasco Theater are be-
ing unusually entertained by a narra-
tive made possible by the inventions
OF the two Williamson brothers, Of
Norfolk.
Fifty years ago the French ro
mancer invented the first submarine.
1t was named the Nautilus, and was
commanded by a man of mystery, con-
cerning whose origin the author of
But he planned an under-sea boat
that never had a counterpart until
some thirty years later. and his ad-
ventures over and under the ocean
have delighted readers for more than
two decades.
The Photographic art in its highest
development has visualized the Verne
story, and its presentment at the Be
lasco has been accomplished in an en-
vironment that would do credit to
anything put forward in the spoken
drama. A very large orchestra tells
musical story fitting to the screen
play, and adds greatly to its interest.
The daily matinees are scheduled for
2:30 o'clock, but the. exhibitions of
Sunday. which are identical, begin at
o'clock. The engagement Is for an
other week, a cancellation elsewhere
accounting for the remaining here OF
this distinctly unusual work.

Observation-Disclosures"

Intolerance" enters upon its last
week at the National Theater today.
Next Sundays performance will end
the engagement in this city.
As The Herald stated in its review,
Intolerance is a hit-undoubtably the
most powerful potion that has yet
been brewed in the new magic caldron
of the movies"
These brief words express the opin-
ion OF the multitude of newspaper
critics who have praised Intolerance"
from one end of the country to the
other. Griffith has shown the rule of
intolerance through four periods of
human history. He has set forth four
stories on a single theme. The spec
tators are given vivid pictures of an
cient Babylon. medieval France, Pales-
tine and of America of today. Moth
ing comparable to the Babylonian
scenes, with their wonderful and pic
turesquely beautiful palaces and tenn
Piles, ever have been shown on any
stage. These scenes alone cost more
than the entire production of The
