Mildred Vane.-


Three delightful examples OF the
highest development of the mo ion
picture art will be disclosed this week
at Moore's Garden Theater. For the
first three days Of the week. begin
ming today. May Allison will be the
pictured star in one Of the most re-
freshing film vehicles she has had
under the Metro trademark. The
Testing OF Mildred Vane" reflects all
of the keen dramatic sense of its -au-

also stands In Old Kentucky" one
OF tho classics OF the stage. Miss AL
lisoO'9 role is that OF the daughter of
a millionaire who find herself sud
denly involved in affairs of the heart
that render ii a delicate matter to
eiude trouble between two very ardent
suitors-one a professor of Greek, the
other a society snob. The production.
supporting cast and photography are
said to manifest an acute artistic
sense on the part of the directors.
On Wednesday and Thursday "The
Daredevil will be the principal at
traction at the Garden. with Gail
Kane. pictured in the role of an in
trepid young woman who resorts to
desperate means to accomplish the
bizarre purposes which will recur to
the minds OF those who read Maria
Thompson Davies novel OF the same
name. During the action of this re-
freshingly different photodrama Miss
Kane dons male attire and masque-
rades as her own brother.
For the last two days OF the week
the major offering at the Garden will,
be "Hugon. the Mighty" another mag

passions and hates of those who make
picturesque the free life of the great
Canadian northwest Monroe Sails

with degree of conviction and finese
which he alone commands. the virile
young French-Canadian from whom
the piece derives its name.
Short reels and synchronized orches-

complete each daily program.
Moore's RIa1to-DoubIe Feature Bill.
The installation OF gold fiber
screen. the perfection OF the multiple
color lighting system and projection
and the finished coordination of the
myriad intriCacies of pre- eminent pic
ture presentation, at MOore's new Ri
alto Theater. have resulted in a quail
ity of photoplay entertainment here
tofore unknown in Washington.
The bill arranged for the second
epoChal week is in every sense as
varied and as elaborate as the pro-
gram offered last week. The chief
film play for the current week is
Shoulder Arms" I'm which Charlie
Chaplin discloses a peculiar penchant
for revolutionizinE methods of mod
eTn warfare. This. the second of his
million-dol comedies for the First
National, ranks as the most brilliant
example of legitimate travesty the
screen has had. Edna Purviance is
cast in the role opposite the star and
assists materially in Charles original
and highly successful scheme for the
capture of the Kaiser, the crown
prince and Won Hindenburg.
The companion piece in interest will
be the first pictures to reach Wash
ington depicting the surrender OF the
German grand feet to the naval forces
of the allied powers. These are the
official pictures recently rushed to this
country by special steamer from the
other side. A Contributory bit of cine
ma Biography that will engage imme-
diate attention is THE Battle of the
Beviathans." another color study Of
the unfathomed depths, matchless in
beauty.
