about sixteen months. before. AS

nine thousand cases covered by re-
ports had not at that date reached the

"The Virtuous Vamp."

A clever comedy, with a laugh in
almost every line, is "The Virtuous
Vamp" at Moore's Rialto this week,
with Constance Talmadge in the title
role. 1t was adapted from Clyde
Fitch's THE Bachelor" by John En-
erson and Anita Loos.
The story concerns a girl of an old
English family, who assumes a nom
de plume and gets busy when she
ton told that ancestry counts for
nothing, and that he should work out
his own success. Miss Talmadge, as
Nellie Jones, is shown first as child
of eight facing with her mother and
brother the horrors of the San Fran
cisco earthquake. They come east
after the catastrophe, and Nellie goes
in for stenography to support the
family. Her big eyes refuse ito keep
STILL" and she is assigned first to one
job, then another, because the work.
ing force is being disrupted. The
head of the firm finally takes her into
his own office, and she falls in love
to her A little brother. unknown to
his sister, then breaks into the situ-
alton and tells the big man he has
broken his sisters heart. The head
of the firm tells his sisters he is go
ing to marry her. and they call on
Nellie. but are shown the door. ana
the engagement is broken off. Nellie,
however, finally is persuaded to re-
turn to the office to straighten out
important dictation, and the head OF
the firm finally wins her over.
Miss Talmadge plays her part ex-
cellently, and Osmond Tearle, as the
head of the firm, adds unusual force
to the picture.
Minor features and good musical
program round out the bill.

"The Broken Butterfly"

A symphony Of love and pathos-a
drama that moves with overwhelming
appeals The Broken Butterfly" a
Maurice Tourneur production shown
this week at Moore's Strand Theater.
1t Is an adaptation Of Penlope knapp's
story, Marcone," and presents Lewis
]. Cody as Darrell Thorne. young
composer who goes to the Canadian
woods seeking inspiration for SYM
phony and Is attracted by the naive
simplicity and beauty Of Marcene.
whom he finds living with misan-
thropic and revengeful woman who
poses as the girls aunt. but who had
in reality stolen her as a child. The
love that develops between Thorne
and Marcene is made the theme Of
the composers symphony. After
Ihorne's return to the city. Marcene
Is branded with shame by her sup
posed aunt and in desperation takes
her child and disappears, supposedly
drowning herself and child in the
river. Thorne returns. learns of the

comes wanderer. He meets Mar

"The Cav Old Dog"

Crandalrs Theater the first three
days of this week is showing Mrs.
Sidney Drew's film adaptation of
Edna Ferber's story. THE Gay Ola
Dog, starring John Cumberland
The sole support of widowed
mother and two unmarried sisters, he
mad promised his mother at her dy-
ing bedside that he would never de-
sert the sisters. So he gave up Emily
Harrison and let her marry anotne.
he gave up everything else, also, to
keep his pledge. Then the sisters
married, the war came on. Jimmy's
harness business prospered and he
threw off the habits of lifetime and
cut loose. The various ways in which
he shocked his still watchful sisters
and the decisiveness with which he
took ommand of his own destiny
form the basis of a very delightful
photoplay.
A Hank Mann farce, CHASED Out of
Town." and orchestral accompani-
ment are included in the minor fea-
lures.

GARRICK-"At 9:45."

Attention at the Garrick this week
becomes instantly tense as AT 9:45"
opens. The orchestra has ceased; the
shot has rung out. The rising cur
tain discloses the deserted library
through which a woman's shrieks re-
sound. Later the dead body of a
young man Is found in a closet. Who
committed the murder?
This is the mystery that remains
unsolved through a melodrama of
hardened theatergoers and the assid-
ucus student of detective stories
would not allow his attention to lapse
throughout the play. The manner of
presentation and the strength of the
cast are in keeping with the admi-
rable work of Owen Davis, the play
wright. in providing an evening of
thrills.
Five persons are suspected of the
murder of Howard Clayton. whose life
furnished nothing to make him at
tractive, 80 his death ia not mourned.
Many, including those suspected of
the crime, would be justified in fail
ing to grieve over his death. and the
plot Is convincing. But Capt. Dixon,
the detective, who seeks to solve the
mystery, has duty to perform. His
efforts throw no light to the audience,
but they do suggest and interest to a
tantalizing degree.
Marie Goff. as the former fiancee
of the young man. is compelling in
her appeal. Kenneth MacKenna
shares the honors with her as one
of the suspects and wins and holds
the sympathy of the audience from
the beginning. Idalene Cotton's Irish
cook relieves the tense atmosphere
Edith Shayne also is effective, and
other bits of character work assist
IN making AT 9:45' one of the most
interesting performances of it's char
acter seen in Washington in a long
time.

NATIONAL-Burton Holmes

The age of epics is not passed, and
the story Of brave Belgium as told by
Burton Holmes and revealed in the
wonderful pictures at the New Ma
tional last night brings home to
the nation which refused to be used
as "a road" Hardly less impressive
is the courage of the people, now that
the war is over, in seeking to build
up again upon the ruins which the
Germans left behind them. In this
new travelogue, which Mr.. Holmes
calls Belgium" the lecturer begins
where the great war began, at the
forts of Liege.
The completeness of the destruction
of these defenses, regarded as inn
pregnable until the huge German
forty-two-centimete guns began to
play upon them, Is most impressive

British hung on and on In the face of
tremendous odds, all are wildly por-
trayed. Many of the pictures are NOV
ing pictures, especially those of the
Belgians taking up their lives on a
peace basis. Life in Brussels and Ant

"The GAY Lord Quex."

'The Gay Lord Quex" brought every
gallantry of his stage-made reputa-
tion to both Crandalrs Metropolitan
and knickerbocker theaters yester-
day. The graceless young Lothario,
endowed with the personal attrac-
tionS of his screen-creator, Tom
Moore. put himself at once into the
good graces of continuously capacity
audiences with his ver-winning, ro-
mantle slogan, Have you ever been
told you have lovely eyes?"
There is the one real girl. of course,
who leads the debonair youth from
the path of dalliance into the open
road of happy marriage, but the COM
plications which beset the change of
route, contributed by vampirish
duchess and a mistakenly loyal maid,
make a captivating story well acted
and beautifully screened.
The Sunshine comedy, which made
the Prince of Wales laugh and ap-
plaud like an everyday joyous young
ster, shared honors with other minor
features in the program.

POLI'S-'Business Before Pleas

Old funmakers in a new role may be
seen at Polls Theater this week,
where Potash and Perlmutter gesticu-
late through three laughable acts in
Business Before. Pleasure" in which
they apply the principles of the cloak
and suit business to the motion pic
ture industry and miss the bankruptcy
court by a hair.
The troubles of the Potash and PERL

by vamping the scenario writer and
the financial backer, of the Arm. She
even vamps the proprietors to some
Of Mrs. Rosie Potash and Mrs. Ruth
Perlmutter. Perlmutter's sage OBJ
servation that broken hearts are like
promissory notes, they run for thirty,

comfort to the scenario writer, who
is about to lose the lady to the bank
official, and in spite of $4,000 note
that is falling due Perlmutter knocks
the banker out with a five-pound
ledger when it is discovered that his
intentions toward the lady are not
exactly conventional Virtue triumphs

1T Paws to Advertise"

The photoplay version of "It Pays to

fifty suits of clothes, a cane, spats
and two bull pups, is offered part
nership in his fathers business. but
does not please his dad with his loose
ways. The old man offers $4,000 to
his good looking stenographer, played
by Lois Wilson, to get the boy inter-
ested. The way she gets him "inter-
ested" is a bright vein in the story.
The boy. the girl and an old college
chum, who is theater press agent.
start up an advertising scheme.

proves a winning slogan. The son
buys his dads soap, puts it up in a
