When shown at the Rivoli theatre,
N. Y, THE Unbeliever" created tre-
mendous enthusiasm and the pres
ence Of marine detachments from sta
lions in and around New York upon
the stage with buglers, color bearers
and drummers during each perform
ance went far toward arousing pa
triotic fervor and keeping interest in
the production at white heat But the
picture can safely stand on its own
merits without outside aid. 1t is be-
yond question one OF the best stories
dealing with present war conditions
vet filmed. It palpitates with vigor.
GUS action, tender emotion and clean,
wholesome sentiment. The utter abb
sence of fullsome gush and maudlin
appeal to hysterical sympathy, so
painfully frequent in the shaping OF
plays concerning the great struggle,
Is something to be deeply thankful
for. 1.-The Unbeliever'. which comes
to the Washington Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, is realism at its best. ar
tistic, convincing, splendidly directed,
a picture which no exhibitor can af-
ford to miss.
AS regards the cast, Raymond Nc
Kee is extremely pleasing in the char
acter Of the young aristocrat who en-
lists with the Marines and by virtue
of hard experience learns to conquer
the three things which his mother
considers flaws in his characteristic
class prejudice, disbelief in God and
race hatred. Marguerite Courtot Is
winsome and attractive as Virginie
Harbrook, and the other members OF
the company supply creditable sup
port. Surprisingly good work Is done
by the real Marine officers who ap-
pears in the production, Captain
Thomas Sterrett and Lieutenant j. F.
Rorke, acting "as to the manner
born" with their comrades arising
manfully to the demands made upon
them. The war atmosphere OF dug
outs, trenches and No Mans Land is
reproduced with remarkable fidelity.
Better camera work could not be wish
ed for, and many Of the long shots.
clear, vivid and startling, recall those
which won for THE Birth Of Nation
much OF its lasting renown IN him
land. The sub-titles embody plenty
of incisive dry humor, as we'll as the
note Of patriotism they convey. and
viewed from any angle 1t is safe to
predict lasting triumph for this uni
que feature.
On Wednesday and Thursday THE

the Washington theatre, and in this
unusual production the star is Kitty
Gordon. Miss Gordon in THE Inter
lopez" has one OF the very best roles
she has ever assumed-a dramatic, ex-
citing, interesting part, which she
plays to perfection.
"The Interlope-" is the first picture
TO be directed for WorldPictures by
Oscar APPEL, the famous director, who
directed j. Warren Kerrigan in "A
Mans Man" and "The Turn Of a
Card" In this present picture Mr.. APP
Eel has turned out one Of the very
best productions he has ever made.
Many Of the scenes for this produc

pany going South especially to take
these scenes.
The story Of THE Interloper,, was
written by Wallace c. Clifton, a new
member OF the World scenario staff, !
