Geraldine Farrar As Spanish
Girl At Avenue Grand.

Geraldine Farrar invariably does
her most effective work upon the
screen in the character Of some exotic
beauty whose nationality gives her
a birthright of sinister temperament
alism-
1t is such a role that the distin-
guished diva has in The Stronger
Vow" the most recently released of
her photoplsy vehicles, which was
shown as the outstanding feature Of
yesterdays bill at Crandalls Avenue
Grand Theater.
Farrar is cast as a daughter OF old
Spain, in whose nature is embodied all
Of the vengeful spirit Of generations
OF fighting ancestors. She VOWS ven
geance upon the man who killed her
brother and is about to make good
her threats Of complete retribution
when q climacteric episode forestalls
her action and lends the closing
scenes OF the picture a tensity and a
dramatic power that the camera is
rarely privileged to record.
Thomas Sanchi is cast in the role
opposite the star and contributes an
exceptionally brilliant bit of charac-
ter delineation.
Short reels and orchestral accom-
paniment completed the bill.

when My Ship Comes In"
Pleases At KnickerbOcker.

A delightfully."- human photodrama
was revealed for the first time in
Washington at CrandalTs Knicker-
booker Theater yesterday, under the
title of when My Ship Comes In"
The principal roles are portrayed by
Jane Grey, NigaI Barrie, and W. J.
Kelly.
The pictured story is one OF a beau
tiful young girl. daughter of a re-
tired sea captain, who unwittingIy
demonstrated to the foremost Of New
York's theatrical producers dramatic
gifts which TO his practiced eye
meant quick attainment of stardom.
Under his guidance she rose quickly
to the highest pinnacle Of metropol-
tan success, but
The playwright shrewdly played
tricks upon his protege by inserting
'jokers" in her contract. and at
tempted to utilize for his own private
gain the manuscript OF a play written
by her childhood sweetheart. The
manner in which the duped actress
and the injured lover brought about
a realization on the part OF the
plagiarist of the hazardous position
in which he had placed himself, con-
stitute the most dramatic elements in
a film play Of universal appeal and
diverting novelty.
H'he customary abbreviated camera
subjects and synchronized symphonic
accompaniment, as usual, completed
the bill which will be repeated to-
night

The ghosts of all the great TRACE
dams OF the ages would have ap-
pIauded the makeup OF Spencer Case

"Open Your Eyes" deals frankly

Of our social problems that are of
very serious import. A warning is

parents as well as by adolescent

As suggested, the action Of the vaTi-

valuable as an aid to the United

Hart Shoots Up" the

What he needed was a gunman.
The president of a large bank n a
large city knew that, and when he
saw a lsnky cowboy win the prize in
a shooting contest when his train
stopped for several hours in Mon
tana, he decided that he was the man
for the job.
Maybe it wasn't so much the presi-
dent or the money offered him that
induced William S. Hart, the COWBOY.
to accept the position at the last mo-
ment as it was a pretty girl who
proved 10 be a relative of the man

Several days later found Hart a

A scheme is laid to get rid Of Hart
and he is sent on a mission to the

a row and cause the man from Mon
tana to shoot up the underworld"
according to the police explanation 20

Hart feels decidedly out of place"
in the big city, so he decides to go
home. He resigns early the next
morning, but when night comes he
finds that he hasn't turned his keys
in, and remembering that it is the
night that he had been warned by

succeeds in surprising the gang of

Hart finally wins the girl and heals

The Money Corral" with William
