CRANnALI.,s.

Wagon Tracks" william S. Hart,s
new Aircraft picture, was shown as the
chief feature OF the photoplay bill at
Crandall's Theater yesterday and will
be held over at that house today. C.
Gardiner Sullivan chose the old Santa
Re trail as the locale of his thrilling
story. The time OF the action is
about 1850.
A romantic love story is interviewer
with the more stirring elements Of the
plot, which portrays upon the screen
the struggles against privation and
preying marauders which the early
settlers went through. Realism is
lent many of the pictured incidents
by the introduction of a band of real
Indians, who aid in the schemes of
Ronald WaShburn, a crooked gam
bier, strongly impersonated by Robert
hcKim. Jane Novak is filmed in the
role opposite the. star.
The bill is completed by abbrevi-
ated picture subjects and orchestral
accompaniment.

METROPOLITAN.

Evading the commonplaces of con-
ventional drama with the same con-
sistency that the stars of its cast
defy personal danger, Checkers" the
tremendously exciting film version OF
the famous racing play of the same
name by Henry NJ. Blossom. yester-
day aroused the unrestrained enthu-
siasm OF audiences that overhowed
the capacity Of the theater.
Checkers" is William FoX's super
production for the new season Of 1919,
and combines all of the elements OF
Hmitless appeal to the lovers of silent
drama. The story of the romance
that spranE up between the daughter
OF the Old South and the racetrack
tout from the North has been rigidly
adhered to in the perturbation of the
thrilling Blossom play, but in the Wis
UalizatiOn of the episodes that him
dered the progress of the unQuench-
able love and threatened the success
full elimination of the elopers' plans
to win the big race with dark horse,
kept strictly under cover, the camera
play in every respect excels the ar
ticulate version.
Thrills follow each other in such
close succession during the unfold
ing of the story that a complete re-
cital of all that happens is out of the
question in a brief review. The more
extraordinary of the picture incidents,
however, include the spectacle Of a
blazing train plunGing many feet over
an open drawbridge into the river
below; a thrilling rescue of Pert Bar
low from a subterranean den in China
town; a race between a giant hydro
plane and a high-power motor car.
and the complete running of one of
the most exciting races ever caught
by the camera.
The supplementary features of the
bill with which the Met
ropolitan opens its new season with
a full weeks run include -"Her First
Kiss" a convulsing. Sunshine comedy,
and a new issue of the news pictorial.
The orchestra, under the direction of
Mr. Heitmuller. contributes immeas-
urably to the effectiveness Of the pic
tured portions of the bill.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 25.-Police turn
ed UP an increase Of 100 per cent in
the number of persons arrested for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct

GLEN ECHO PARK.

Park fans Of the Capital evidently
plan to lose no opportunities to in
dulge in their favorite outdoor sport
during the brief remainder of the open
season at Glen Echo Park. This was
clearly demonstrated by the thousands
who hocked to the popular resort
high up over the Potomac yesterday.
Concerts by Celfo's band, the free fea-
ture OF the program, proved decidedly
popular. Between times there was a
rush for the various amusement de-
vices.
Tonight and other week nights the
dancers have their chance and the
big javilion will be one Of the centers

plication of its title and this thesis is
effectuaIly dealt with.
The theme of the picture is so

a helpless mite between two giant
contending forces-the forces of ruth

GARRICK.

The Garrick Players yesterday en-
tered on the second week of Every
woman" the gorgeous spectacle play
which has been setting new attend
ance records at the city's stock play
house.
"EveFywoman," by it's very nature
iS play that embodies an appeal to
every class OF ftheatergoer. Telling of
the quest OF 'EVerywoman for love, it
takes audiences on an allegorical
Journey with its heroine, at the end OF
which she finds love.
The magnitude of the play would at
first blush appear to prohibit its sue
oesSful presentation by any stock
already demonstrated that no play is
too big for them TO attempt, and the
manner in which they give this big
gest OF all such plays must reflect to
their everlasting credit. At one time
as many as 100 persons are on the
stage at one time.
1t is, by. the way. a great tribute to
the capabilities of Augustin Glass
mire, stage director, and the company
that everything goes on without a
hitch.
Julia Dean, a Washington favorite,
and one OF Americas most noted ac-
tresses, plays the title role, while
Earle FOxe appears as King Love.
Eileen Wilson is cast as Youth, while
Doris Sheerin as Beauty and Mar
Earet McCambridge as MOdesty.
Everywoman's handmaidens, add
much to the effectiveness of Miss
Deans Interpretation OF the leading
part. Many others in the large cast
are worthy of especial mention, but
they have already come in for their
share Of praise in the original re-
view Of the production. last week.
Suffice tito say that the GArrick
presentation OF "Everywomah" is
even more excellent this week than
last, and bpx office records are in a
fair way to be thoroughly smashed.

THE CAST.


IS no use, you must put a bedroom
in farce in these piping times. The
people want it, and Old Vox Populi
has declared in favor Of the chambre
de mutt, preferably with twin beds.
Look Who's Here" IS distinctly a
success. 1t is bright, catchy, spark
ling and full OF jazz and pep. And
to make it all the more enjoyable the
cast, headed by Cecil Lean and Cleo
Mayheld, romp through the farce as
though they enjoyed 1t as much as
the audience.
1t was not very long ago when a
musical comedy only had a plot as an
excuse for singing a raft OF songs and
furnishing opportunity for the
comedian to make bright remarks. In
last nights production the plot was
sufficiently sustained at all times.
There was every opportunity for
good situations. Robert W. Holmes
Is q popular writer; who has written
so much about love that, he has for
gotten thatNa little OF 1t is necessary
in his own home. TO make up for
this lack OF affection, friend wife

mountain inn. where IL subsequently
transpiFes that the plumber" is an
old flame Of the proprietor. The nov
elist has a friend with taking ways,
who for a previous favor has taken a
thousand in return. His. latest stunt
is to borrow the noveiists's name to
win and marry q little lady who has
fallen for the sugafy publications Of
the author. An irate father following
the elopers adds the needed compli-
cations.
With this as a basis. fun wakes fast.
but not always furious. The songs
are all Of the tuneful variety that you
whistle after you leave the show, and
there are two or three that bid fair to
live. to a ripe old age.
The feature of the second act was
a spectacle in which the ". k bed

There Ia no need toTSpread a lot Of

things of the evening, was the spe-

AS for the two. stars, suffice to say
