weeks attraction at the Gayety
Theater to a large audience, and it
will entertain the patrons of the
Ninth street house for the rest of
the week. stand at Ease" is a mu-
sicle mess in two divisions, which
affords the company ample chance
to display their talents.
Shorty McAllister. the popular
English comedian. came over
here with Charlie Chaplin and ap-
peared in vaudeville for several sea-
sons before he Joined the burlesque
stage. McAllister Is very funny
with his cockney accent, and with
Harry Shannon. who makes a good
crowd last night. Shannon Is a
versatile comedian. as well as an
eccentric dancer that was pleasing
to watch in his work. as he put his
lines over with a lot of snap and
vim. Jack Mundy. in the straight
part, was entertaining and ably as
sisted the principals in putting the
show over. The rest of the cast Is
a capable one.
The feminine contingent is led
by Catherine Crawford, who has
been touring in vaudeville, and is
now showing her fashion models as
well as displaying a lot of fancy
costumes and assisting the two

Margie Wilson is some tight wire

The chorus Is a large one, and

shows that have appeared at the

CrnndaIIs Metropolitan - Eugene
O'Brien, In "Sealed Hearts,.

The skillful touch Of Eugene Wal
ters, master OF directness in fash
ioning drama, is evident in every foot
Of Sealed Hearts," the picturization
OF his play in the authorship of which
Edmund Goulding collaborated and as
star of which Eugene O'Brien was
pictured for the first time in the Cap
ital at Crandall's Metropolitan Thea
ter yesterday. Sealed Hearts" does
not falter along the way, but pro-
crosses with irresistible power to a
climax OF remarkable dramatic in
tensity. Rather more than half of
the credit for the forcefulness OF the
silent form of the gripping play is
due to the tremendously effective por-
trayal of the elder Marchbanks by
Robert Edeson. Despite the fact that
Mr.. O'Brien. by virtue of his heroic
role as the Junior Marchbanks, in
love with his fathers prosecuted
young wife, is rightfully star of the
picture, many scenes find Mr. Edeson
in complete command of the situation.
The story, which has been hand
somely mounted and painst stakingly di-
rected upon the screen by Ralph Ince.
is a vivid one OF clashing personali-
ties and the triumph OF love and
youth over the false values placed
upon the matrimony that Is purchased
with gold as a sop to Jealous old
manhood's craving for perpetual DOM
nance. The theme has been discreet
ly handled and gains much in appeal
by the expertness with which the
eternal triangle is visualized by Mr..
OBrien. Mr.. Edeson and Lucille Lee
Stewart.
The subsidiary features of the
weeks bill were found by yesterdays
capacity crowds to embody unusual
variety OF subject matter and ex-
traordinaryinterest. Larry Semon. in

seen a warwick picture yet that
was fashioned so adroitly to the
personality of the stalwart soldier
star.
Captain Dieppe. taken into the
castle by the lonesome count. has a
chance encounter with Lucia, ana
despite his belief that she Is his
hosts wife. cannot help falling in
love with her. SEWER. a secret agent
of the government which held
Dieppe. has in the meantime nego-
tiated with Sharpe with a view of
effecting Dieppe's capture. Sharpe
surreptitiously enters the castle. at
tempting to blackmail Lucia. and
Dieppe goes after his scalp. But
Sharpe has already robbed Sewer
and dashed away. Dieppe ovcrtakes
him at swollen ford and over
comes him In a thrilling fight. He
learns of the countess troubles and

turning to the castle. Dieppe Is
amazed to find the count in the arms
of strange woman. Explanations

Loew's Columbia - Hobart Bos-
worth, in seBehind the Door,

Whenever a photoplay production
bears the imprint of Thomas Fl.
Ince's direction. then the American
screen fans look for something ex-
traordinary. That seems to have be-
come the rule since Mr. Ince pre-
sented such screen triumphs as "Civ-
ilization." '"The Guilty San" and
False Faces" That Mr.. Ince is maxi
ing huge strides forward was am
ply evidenced at Loew's Columbia
yesterday when his latest production.

virile player. Hobart Bosworth, be-
gan a four-day run.
The story Of Behind the Door"
written by Gouverneur Morris, AFFORD
ed Mr.. 1nce ample scope for the en-
ployment of his genius as director OF
gigantic spectacles. 1t is a story the
logical development of which holds
one spellbound from start to finish.
1t is thrilling narrative of tremen-
dous dramatic strength at times and
the finale. which Is disclosed by
shadows behind the door," and
which breathes tragedy born of re-
lentless vengeance Of a man who has
been deeply wronged, is one of the
strongest seen by motion picture au-
diences here in many a day.

Loew's Palsee Robert Warwick,
In .An Adventure in Hearts.1

A fine story by that master of ro-
mantle fiction, Anthony Hope, has
been done into an entertaining mo-
tion picture with Robert Warwick
in the role of the hero, and is be-
ing shown at Loew's Palace Thea
ter this week. 1t is called IAN Ad-
venture in Hearts," which is rather
more engaging and descriptive of
the content of the story than its
original title, Captain Dieppe."
Major Warwick Is the picturesque
adventurer who dares much for his
lady's hand. though a comedy touch
Is inserted by the fact that the OBJ
ject of his secret affections is ap-
parently the wife of the genial Ital.
ian nobleman who has afforded him
protection in his castle. In this
latest vehicle he escapes from con-
hnement in a council chamber by
seizing a sword. cutting the whis-
kers OF the prime minister, knock
ing down the guards. and springins
from q window into q river, swim
ming to safety. Then he tweaks
the -'heavy's" nose in q fair lady's
presence and later fights q pistol
duel with him In q swollen ford in
the river. And at the climax he
struggles fiercely with a secret
service pursuer in a blazing hut.

drama But An Adventure in

National Burton Holmes,

Those who braved last nights
zero weather to hear Burton
Holmes travelogue, To-day on the
Rhine" were indeed well repaid for
their hardihood.
The Rhine, to quote Mr.. Holmes,
is more than a river: II Is a SYM
boil Inextricably bound up with
Germanic myth and legend, the
scene of many q glorious victory
for German arms-and of many a
pitiable defeat-its present domina-
tion by the allies Is striking proof
of the passing OF the Teutonic dream
of world rule.
Mr.. Holmes has that happy
faculty of submerging his own per-
sonality as lecturer in the scenes
about which he speaks, and one
seems to be actually transported to
the Rhine. to really be there, not
merely seeing a series of beauti-
fully colored and technically perfect
views.
The shiny black faces of Frances

bridge at Maintz: the group of
Poilus meath the famous "Germania
Denkmal," with its boastfui in
sCTlpliOn tndt no enemy 1OOt snail
ever tread Germanic soil; the tri-
color flying over factory and town
all are grateful sights to American
eyes. At Cologne, whose mighty
twin spired cathedral has made 1t
famous throughout the world, the
British Tommy administers the high
Justice. the middle and the low.
Coblentz. the last OF the beautiful
Rhine towns to which Mr.. Holmes
carried his interested audience, is
shown entirely under American con-
troll.
Over Ehrenbretstein. that famous
Hohenzollern stronghold. floats Old
Glory. and virile Yankee faces peer
from its embrasures. Striking proof
indeed that the Rhine Valley is now
being forced to start on its fifteen
years penance for the wrongs done
sunny France and peaceful Belgium.
Space is far too limited to even
enumerate the various points of his
toric interest touched upon by Mr..
Holmes in the wonder trip up and
down the Rhine. but those who are
fortunate enough to obtain seats for
today's matinee will agree fully that
1t was well worth taking.
