One Of the most delightful comedies
seen IN this city in many months is
"Her Blighted Love-" the new Para

turing Charles Murray. Wayland
Trask and Vera Steadman. which is
being presented at the Washington
theatre Wednesday and Thursday.
The story is a bright one and the nu-
merous situations are Of that delect-
able quality which is guaranteed to-

encountered The comedy is worth
going far to see and 1t is thoroughly
relishable.
Alice Brady, who will appear here
at the Washington theatre on Friday
and Saturday in her latest Select Pic
ture, "At the Mercy Of Men," hides be-
hind her piquant face and sparkling
manner capable business head.
Some time ago she saw the inestim-

an individual stock wardrobe, and
thereupon began to build her own.
Gowns that she was ready to discard,

certain type of role, frocks that had

when this star is given a part to play
which calls for a certain costume or
a dress of particular year or period,
she goes to her stock wardrobe, digs

script, and gets her maid to freshen
them up In consequence, Miss
Bradys gowns are invariably correct
for time and place, and her conscienti-
Gus care in their selection plays no
small part in the general excellence
of all her productions.
