GARDEN.

"A Gentleman's Agreement" is the
feature of the photoplay bill at
Moore's Garden Theater the first
three days OF this week. Nell Ship
man and Aldred Whitman do the
most entertaining work of their joint
careers in the adaptation of a piece
of fiction by Wallace Irwin.
It is one OF those tales OF the West
in which men play for big stakes and
pay heavy penalties for failure The
basis is found in the adherence or
the part Of Lemuel Antree to an an
cient law which said that a man
whose life was saved must become
the bond slave of his savior. The
major conflict arise from the fact
that Antree made the mistake Of mar
rying the betrothed OF a man who
once had saved him from death.
A supplementary offering OF more
than usual interest was Flying Over

lures ever made of the National Cap
ital and exhibited in this city.

WAR THRILLS IN
PLAYSOFFEREDAT
CAPITAL THEATERS

The typical Morosco cast" came
back to town last night when that
prolific producer presented" a new
play-oh, yes, it WAS a war play
watch Your Neighbor," at Polls. Like
~Three Faces East" the title of this
latest product of the dramatists' pen
is a play of the secret service-the
English. Like Three Faces East"
there is an American heroine. But
there the comparison ends
Watch Your Neighbor," has one Of the
best frst acts ever seen in this city.
It has the best bit of characterize
ton, of clever dialogue, of dry humor
of everything that goes to make
one forget the war. The plays lead
ing role is of the silly ass variety, so
well done in other days by the elder
Sothern as Dundreary and Lawrance
D'Orsay in 1.-The Duke of Paw
tucket" But the silly ass subse-
quently saves the situation and the
allies simultaneously, and all ends as
It should.
Throughout the play. which was
written by Leon Gordon (who plays
Captain Bennett. the s. a. and LIE Roy
Clemens, there is humor, suspense.
and delightful acting, as well as bit
of love making. The second act,
playing in Switzerland in the rendez-
vous of the pacifists. develops into
nice, thrilling melodrama in which
the aforementioned s. a. indulges in
hsticuffs, wrestling, and a flying leap
from window.
So far as the acting is concerned,
honors were divided by Mr.. Gordon
and Edith, the Goldfish, who was
played by herself. AS he said in the
second actor was 1t in the thrid?-
Edith got along swimmingly How
ever, you can Judge for yourself, be-
ing a hardened theatergoer. Mr.
Gordon wore a Chaplin mustache,
(but not his shoes) and played with
nicely of touch and keen sense of
humor. In some ways, Edith over
ehadowed him completely, especially
in the tank scene.
A long cast aided Mr. Gordon.
First was Mary Servoss. as the Ameri-
can girl Miss Servoss was sweet to
look upon; she acted with reserve and
discretion, and, thanks be, her enun-
citation is superIatively clear and dis
unct. Others in the cast were Doug
lass Ross as Corporal Greene: Fred
ertck Esmelton, who made a hne
British Major Tomms: Gerald Pring
as Captain Fielding; Stanley Harrison
as Sergeant Birdseye, who saved the
situation with the help of Edith, and
q most Of others, prominent among
whom was Dodson l. Mitchell as
German conspirator.
