NationnI-"Sick-a-Bed.-

In addition to providing a delight
ful evening of clean and excellent
hot-weather entertainments, Sick
a-Bed," at the National Theater this
week offers a real lift to the Red
Cross. In the role of nurse, the
ever-delightful Mary Boland puts
forward such an enticing portrayal
of the ministering angel that every
young woman in the audience last
night evidently sighed for nursing
opportunities. and there is no ques-
tion that every impressionable
young man present yearned to be
stricken by illness or to be laid low
by wounds.
Aiding Miss Boland in her work
is a cast that is excellent The
character work is clean cut, the
lines are clever and the action moves
rapidly and with real effervesence.
The play is by Ethel Watts Num-
ford. and. staged by Klaw and Err
langer. is offered as a farcical
comedy.
The story is more or less remin-
iscent. but the situations are well
worked out. The plot has to do with
an irresponsible young globe-trot-
ter who returns to his apartments
in time to inject himself into the
matrimonial tangIes of his guard
ian, a good old scout with a jeal-
Gus youg wife determined to &C
quire a divorce. The complications
are increased by reason of the fact
that the young wife imagines her
self in love with her husbands
ward.
In order to save this situation it
is necessary for the young traveller
to feign illness in order that he
may not be summoned to court to
testify in the case. The second and
third acts are staged in his bed
room where he is shamming sick
ness. Two medical quacks. at the
last moment unmasked by a real
physician. a bibulous night nurse.

Japanese valet aid and abet the un-

Eventually there is a reconcilia-

young wife and the curtain goes
down happily on what might indi-

Nothing Of the kind. I was
afraid IL you were here alone we
would talk business and tonight I'm

row and everything. except that 1t

sentimental atmosphere I sent up
for Richard Waverly, Sd.

and undress and put Dicky to bed
myself, but that night I had said
to the nurse that after she had pre-
pared him for sleep, to bring him
into the sun room and / would bid
him goodnight there.
1 confess I wanted all the visitors
to see him-because you and I
know, little book. that it is not
because l am his mother-but
every one else must think the same
thing when they see him, and that
is, that Richard Waverly. Sd, is the
sweetest baby ever was born.
1t is over months now since
he was born and his pink and white
ness-his darling dark fringed gray
eyes and his red hair. make him
the most adorable baby that one
ever crushed against ones mouth.
And he never cries. except when
he thinks he is i'll treated. Even
then it is not a hurt cry. he just sets
up a yell that makes every one
understand he wants something
and wants II when he wants 1t.

ARE YOU LONESOME,
GIRLS? IF SO, why?
War Workers Offered Chance for
Much Delightful Recreation.

II you were all alone in Wash
ington. and were lonesome. and you
had come to help out Uncle Sam,
but had decided he didn't need you
half as much as you thought; and
you lived in hall bedroom that
was too expensive for your little sal
ary; and the woman next door used
the typewriter all night, and the girl
on the other side knew a lot of girls
whom she entertained noisily, but you
Just didn't care for them, and ii
was too hot TO breathe:
You would be glad that the city
of Washington had opened the beau
tiful buildings OF the Central High
School as Municipal Community
Center under Miss Cecil Norton, and
asked you and all the war workers
in the city to make yourselves at
home.
On Tuesday night you went down
to the Central High School at Elev-
enth and Clifton streets. First you
sat in the stadium and rested AMI
cooled on You watched first the
baseball game in one end OF the sta
dunn and then the basketball game
in the other end. Then you went
down and played games on the grass
in the center Of the stadium.
The next night you couldn't wait
until after dinner TO brush up your
tennis form and you played until
dark. The instructor in charge
taught you a new stroke that you
knew would he too much for the ten
mis- shark with whom You played
tennis all last summer. And you
went home and answered his letter
telling him TO hurry and finish of
the Kaiser and come home so YOU
could beat him at tennis.
At the end nj a week you wrote
the family letter somewhat as fol-
lows:
Although 7 love you just lots. as
usual, have decided not to come
home permanently. II isn't half as
hot and uncomfortable as it was last
week

PoIrs-.Hearts Of the World"

The President of the United
States limousined to Polls last night
for a glimpse OF the latest work of
David Wark Griffith, the movie mas
ter.
One is pleased to believe that Mr..
Wilson aside from being President
OF the United States is something
of a dramatic critic on his own ac-
count. That being true. it is al
together probable that Mr.. Wilson,
looking at Hearts of the World
from the seat holders point OF view,
put 1t down as a great picture and
then. as a more or less acute dra-
matte observer. sighed to himself
that Mr.. Griffith has again failed to
smash the world in the eye with 4
picture as great as THE Birth of a
Nation"
Hearts of the World" neverthe-
less, is a master picture. Like
everything else that Mr.. Griffith is
pleased to do. it pales into fading
and envious insignifiCance the most
pretentious efforts of his cinema
rivals. With all due respect to his
rivals, Mr.. Griffith has demonstrated
his claim to the sole right to pro-
vide a picture that will go on the
big time" and stay there at 81
prices.
Grifith can only be judged by his
own work. and it is only justice to
the masters earlier efforts to say
while the present production will
hang out the standing room only"
sign at olPrs for the week. it
seems safe to predict that even in
war-crowded Capital. it will not
do ten weeks business, as did the
civil war picture.
Hearts of the World" furnishes
a vehicle for come back triumph
of Dorothy Gish. Dorothy appears
as a French street singer. and un-
der Mr.. Griftiths guiding voice. she
steps forth in a role of sprightliness
and vivacity which are traditionalIy
most unGishy.
Lillian Gish. her dainty sister,
scores as the heroine in the sweet
est. most sublime appeal she has
ever made to an audience. There
is something divine about her
portrayal of the girl of France at
the mercy of the invading Hun.
Robert Harron. "Grifhth's boy
BObbie," now actually enlisted in
the fight for democracy in the
American army, does some of the
finest work OF his whole career as
the American boy artist hero, who
believes France fit to fight for as
well as to live in.
One must not be deferred by pure
ly dramatic and technical criticism
of Mr.. Griffith's work. Griffith is
ever the wizard of the celluloid, and
when he produces the world attends
and watches. Hearts of the
World" il a story that will drive
home with sledge- hammer force the
fearful menace of the gray horde
from beyond the Rhine and as a
historic document it will live for
ever.

MarshalI Hall.

The grounds at historic Marshall
Hall are daily crowded almost to ca
pacity with a merry crowd OF
pleasure seekers who find diversion
in the many amusements the resort
has to offer. Dancing, always popu-
lar with the younger element. attracts
a majority OF these. for the combina-
ton of splendid music and glass-like
floors seems too great to resist. The
Derby. the merry-go-round. the
swings. bowling alleys and other de-
vices are also well patronized. The
trip to and from the hall on the

view OF some OF the most interesting
phases OF the governments activity

OFF TO THE WAR!
When Women Fight

The fact that Russian women
formed a regiment called the Bat
talon of Death" which was the first
regiment of the kind in the history
of civilization. has stirred up the
question whether our women could
form a line of defense for the United
States.
Every woman's burdens in the war
are lishtened when she turns to the
right medicine. If her existence is
made gloomy by the chronic weak
nesses. delicate arrangements and
painful disorders that afflict her sex,
she will find relief and emancipation
from her troubles in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. If she's over
worked, nervous. or rundown" she
finds new life and strength. It's a
powerful. invigoratins tonic and nerv-
inc. which was discovered and used
by an eminent physician for many
years in female complaints" and
weaknesses. For young girls just en-
terins womanhood. for women at
critical times; in bearins-down sensa-
tions. pains. liberation. inflammation
and kindred ailments. the "Favorite
Prescription" will surely benefit. This
herbal tonic is prepared with glycerin,
IS no alcohol. and is sold in tablet
80 cents. Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce,
