June Mathis and Albert Capellani,

best he is responsible for to date.
Putting 1t Over" the title which
is hung on this new production head

maker. Is from the pen of Raymond

camouflage can be seen the talented
direction Of Jimmy Cooper. giving
burlesque patrons what they want
when they want it.
Everything promised by his press
agent in novelties. beauty, style, har-
mony and punching powers of the
comedians, was exhibited, with Solly
Ward better than ever. The produc-
ton entertained here early this sea-
son and met with approval. but this
return engagement. with new lines
and new comedy stunts, is greatly
Improved over Cooper's first efforts.

;. SThe Haunted Bedroom

Enid Bennett. one OF the brilliant
galaxy OF Thomas Fl. Ince stars, has
been given a screen vehicle that fully
measures up to her screen talents in
THE Haunted Bedroom" the produc-
tion which was shown to Washington
for the first time yesterday at Loew's
Columbia Theater. The plot through
out is strong and novel. and is
marked, in places, with some of the
most weird lighting effects ever seen
in motion pictures.
1.-The Haunted Bedroom" tells the
story Of Betsy Thorne, a girl reporter
on a New York newspaper, who is
sent out to run down and identify a
ghost that is supposed to freouen,
an old mansion in the South. The
girl obtains entrance to the house
as a maid. and In the course of soly-
ing the mystery she discovers that
she has succumbed to a greater mys-
tery-that of love.
The picture itself Is well done. The
work Of Miss Bennett is fully up to
her usual standard, and her support
ing cast is strong and capable and
includes such players as Dorcas Mat
thews. Jack Nelson, Lloyd Hughes
william Conklin. Harry Archer, Otto
Hoffman and others. In addition to
the featured photoplay at the Co.
lumoia- there was also shown a care
fully selected list of auxiliary attrac-
tions which reflect credit on the man
agement OF the theater.
