BURTON HOLMES.
Today on the Rhine.n


The River Rhine was the subject OF
Burton Holmes travelogue ~ deliv-
cred at the National Theater last
night. and to be repeated there At 4:30
O'Clock this afternoon.
Tne Rhine, to quote Mr.. Holmes, is
more than river; it is a symbol. In
extricably bound UP with Germinic
myth and legend. the scene OF many a
glorious victory for German arms
and OF many a pitiable defeat-its
present domination by the allies Is
striking proof of the passing OF the
Teutonfc dream Of world rule.

that no enemy foot shall ever tread
Germanic soil; the tricolor flying over
factory and town--all are grateful
sights to American eyes. Al Cologne,
whose mighty twin spired cathedral
mas made 1t famous throughout the
world, the British Tommy administers
the high justice, the middle and the

Eugene O'Brien in

OF all the comedy gymnasts con-
tributing abbreviated film farces to
the enlivenment OF the picture-loving
public. by far the most prolific in the
0rigtnatfon of novel ideas is Larry
Semon, whose latest ca nera convul-
sion, The Head Waiter" was the
reason yesterdays capacity audiences
at Crandalfs Knickerbocker Theater
almost laughed themselves into hys-
terics. "The Head Waiter" Is a
rough-and-tumble comedy depicting
the amazing adventures Of a jobless
young wanderer who Is led into diffi-
culties by his persistent effort to
secure swell and gratuitous dinner
in palatial cabaret where the
cashier is particularly good-lookine
brunette. :
The chief feature Of the bill is the
picturization Of Eugene Walters and
Eomund Goulding's play. Sealed

of Sealed Hearts," the picturixation
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
Capital at Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater yesterday.
Rather more than half of the credit
for the forcefulness Of the silent form
OF the gripping play is due to the tre-
mendously effective portrayal Of the
elder Marchbanks by Robert Edeson.

of the bill offered at Loew's Columbia
Theater yesterday and for the en-
suing three days. 1t 10 Behind the
Door," powerful story of the sea,
by Gouverneur Morris. The star is
Hobart Bosworth.
Behind the Door" is the story of a

his young wife, Simonetta. There

connects the name Of his wife with that

officer Of rather unsavory reputation.
Contrary to his earlier expressed view
that he would merely leave his wife

selops a maddening jealousy, which

covers facts which would seem to cor
roborate his fears. 1t develops that
while he has been away, his wife had
gone to the carnival with Andrea.
When Steno, unexpectedly returned.
sees his wife come back, alone. Sob
bing piteousiy, he Jumps at the obvi-
GUS conclusion.
The dnal act takes place in the
greenroom Of Steno's theater during
the last act Of "Othello," In which he
is playing the Moor. and his wife Des-
demona Here between scenes he
unearths further evidence which sets
him temporarily insane with jealousy,
and. In the final scene of "Othello."
Steno goes mad, and almost makes
real tragedy out of the mock tragedy
he is enacting.
But then come explanations-the
wife tells her story-how, feeling
miserable through his neglect, she
had resolved to sacrifice her honor to
Andrea, only to change her mind
when that person revealed himself In
his true light; to struggle with him,
and escape that which she had
planned.
Steno forgives, and instead OF
tragedy, the final scene is one Of re-
stored love and happiness.
There 10 nothing exceptional In the
play itself, but last nights audience
seemed to enjoy it-thoroughly. Mr..
Tearle showed himself an actor OF
rare capabilities. although there was
a bit too much calisthenics. in his
scenes Of mental anguish. American
theater-goers like the other stuff
repression. But withaL this actor
from London, we are sure, will hnd
q warm welcome here, perhaps more
cordial in roles Of q different sort
than Silvio Steno.
The supporting cast did we'll in
roles of varying demands, with par
ticular mention due little Bobby
Clark. who played the baby son of
siivio steno much moro excellentiy
than one would expect Of q child so
young.
The play Is elaborately staged, the
nrst setting being positively magnifi-

introduction of several costume
scenes Of rare beauty-as In the in
stance where a group of Venetian
carnival revelers invade the Steno
home in costume. Music that adds
immeasurably to the effectiveness Of
