Moore's Strand.

1.-The Turn of a Card" the second
Paralta starring vehicle for ]. Warren
Kerrigan, the feature photoplay at
Moore's Strand Theater the first four
DAYS of this week. offers relief from the
stereotyped form of thriller by provid-
ing a scenario having its locale in the
oil fields instead of the mining camps
or the COW country. 1t sets a brisk
tempo at the very outset and maintains
it throughout the picture, which COM
bines artistic photography and skillful
acting.
The story concerns a young man,
Jimmie Montgomery Farrell. who wins
a fortune from Ace High" Burdette
and then wins from the same reckless
gambling gentleman an $4,000 estate
on Long Island. While visiting this
new possession he meets the daughter
of the man and the real story fol-
lows.
Kerrigan has the able support of a
cast led by Lois Wilson, Frank Clark
and David M. Hartford. Artistic
scenes, both interior and exterior. give
added. charm to the picture. which has
an orchestral accompaniment.

Moore's Garden,

THE Sign Invisible" which is pre-
sented by the First National Exhibitors
Circuit, the photoplay attraction at
Moore's Garden Theater until Thurs
day, is a drama, big in conception, in
execution and in appeal. The story
concerns a young SURGEON who lost
his nerve. and in seeking to recover it
in the wiIds of the Canadian northwest
lost his principles. How he recovered
both through the interest of an OBJ
scure circuit rider >and his daughter
and the example of an illiterate half
breed. with a spark of Divine fire
smoldering in his breast forms the
basis of one of the most thrilling, and
at the same time most salutary. film
offerings the Garden has ever offered.
The cast, led by Mitchell Lewis. Hedda
Nova. Mabel Juline Scott and Edward
F. Roseman, is the same that brought
distinction to The Barrier" The out
door views, which constitute the ma
jestic background for the struggle of
right for supremacy over might, help
to fix the pictures merit.
The bill is completed by short sub
jects, with orchestral accomplishments.

Cosmos.

The Cosmos Theater this week is Of
fering well culled bill of superior
vaudeville, headed by THE Golden
Bird" a charming novelty, and THE
Telephone Tangle," also a novelty, but
along comic lines. both of which are
adequately rewarded with applause. In
The Golden Bird Hattie Kitchner, a
comely young violiniSt of real merit,
lends rare establishment TO her classic
violin selections with a highly trained
canary that seems to enter into the
spirit of the act, trills obligatos to the
violin selections and answers the calls
OF other birds, cleverly initiated on the
Vioiin by the young woman. The act
is handsomely staged.
In The Telephone Tangle" the trials
and annoyances of modern telephoning
are wildly and amusingly pictured, six
panels flashed alternately in the rear
of the stage furnishing the individual
setting for the colloquies. with q GIN
gerry switchboard girl, who also has
her troubles. The act is amusing
throughout its twenty minutes dura-
ton. Other acts present novel and very
clever comedy juggling by the Hale
Brothers, Stone and Boyle blind pi-
anist of real worth and tenor, in an
excellent musical offering; Frances and
Kennedy, with a large equipment of
handsome scenery, in Reflections From
Musical Comedy" and Green and Miller,
in an amusing offering of brass music,
songs, magic and comic features. Frank
Keenan,. in The Bride of Hate" tense
southern story Of tins days before the
civil war; a f1rst-run comedy and the
Hearst-Pathe news complete the bill.

added to her repertoire heroine pI

fers her alley to a matrimonial spot

epilogue-but that would be telling the
best of everything. Arharilly is

one touch of tragic terror, that, how

the womanly sentiment that belongs
to moonlight, a marble terrace and a
lace frock in which the girl considers

by chance on a golf course. The legacy

efforts in curing the American OF the

full heir has been cut off with pltitui

Crandall's Casino.

The opening of the Casino Theater I'M
der the management of Harry NJ. Gran
dali, Sunday. with D. w. Griffith's 1.-The
Birth of Nation" proved at least that
this really great picture has not yet
ceased to be powerful magnet to the
Washington public. Although the Ca
sino itself has passed through many
vicissitudes in recent years, it was
crowded to it's capacity yesterday. The
basic ideas of THE Birth of a Nation"
were taken from Rev. Thomas Dixon's
stories, 1.-The Leopard's Spots" and '"rhe
Clansman," which dealt with the race
problem in the south in the days of
reconstruction. Yet Griffith has added
something elsa subtle appeal of
heart interest that grips the sympa-
thies of the audience One of the no.
table scenes pictures the assassination
of President Lincoln in Ford's Theater.
Henry B. Walthall has the most promt-
nent role in the picture, supported by
such screen notables as Mae Marsh.

Leader.

Gladys Brockwell, in her latest photo
play, 1.-THE DEVILS Wheel" is the fea-
ture at the Leader all this week. 1t is
a striking production of Paris Apache
life. To the average individual there
is an almost indescribable fascination
about the underworld of Paris and it's
through the medium of the printed word
or the screen, is the basis of an en-
crossing plot such as that of The
DEVILS Wheel" The photoplay un-
folds a swift-moving, colorful story
dealing with interesting, people. The
Partisan atmosphere is well sustained
throughout. The part of Blanche ex-
cellently fits Miss BrockweIl. A Fox

The committee discloses that there arc

readily understand why anthracite Will

that coal will be plentiful this summer

married woman hobs like cork on
turbulent waters between love for her
husband and her mother and sisters,
who believe marriage is not the proper

Natanson as gay old man and Della
