"Yankee Doodle In Berlin, with
Bathing Girls In Person.

1t was easy to tell that something
unusual was being staged at Moore's
Strand Theater yesterday. On Ninth
street one could not help noticing a
steady stream OF Washingtonians all
seemingly intent on reaching one
point, that point was the entrance to
this popular. house and the general
impression on arrival was that Mr..
Ziegfeld had suddenly decided 10 close
the New York run of his "FoIlies of
1919" and had moved same to this citv
overnight. Those gaining admission
were not disappointed. one OF the most
unusually different shows being pre-
sented for the delectation Of the thous-
ands Of patrons who attended.
Frankly the staid old Strand has de-
parted for the time being from its
time-honored policy of motion pictures
only and gives US a show in which
pictures and vaudeville are mixed in
Just the right proportions, the result
being one Of the brightest, spright-
liest. altogether entertaining bills we
have seen in many moons. !.
While we originally came prepared
to view Mack Sennett's '.Yankee
Doodle in Berlin" and mainly to "see"
Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties, by
the time We were half way through
the bill we were wondering what the
management had up its sleeve next.

Moore's Rlalto-HAnne of Green
Gnbles.o

From the theatrical viewpoint it is
very noticeable of late that motion
picture producers have developed a
keen desire to acquire the picture
rights to popular books and plays and
publishers therefore have been receiv-
ing top-notch figures for them, which
being the case the Realart Pictures
Corporation must have made a lavish
expenditure in obtaining the rights to
all of L. NJ. Montgomery's Anne"
books, Of which there were four, and
then turning around and embodying
the salient incidents of all four books
into one photodramatic production un-
der the title OF Anne of Green
Gables" as presented at Moore s
Rialto Theatre yesterday as the weeks
attraction. it also being the premier
showing of the picture anywhere In
the country.
Mary Miles Minter. one of the most
lovable and winsome types the screen
possesses, the embodiment of youth,
beauty and talent, appears in the title
role. and We can only state that no
better selection could have been made.
This delightful young actress steps
into a part that fits her perfectly
and as result is revealed at her best
in a story of the joys and sorrows.
the smiles and tears of sweet sixteen.
The story deals with the adventures
of young Anne Shirley as she grows
up into glorious womanhood. She
comes to the "Cuthberts," an elderly
brother and sister who live at Green
Gables. in a small. out-of-the-way
New England town, after they have
requested the state orphan asylum to
send them "a willing child. "
Through MISUNDERSTANDING, the au-
thorities send "Apne" instead of the
boy requested. Her welcome is cold.
but trey accept her on trial. Her
charm and her delight at living with
/" family finally win the love of the
Cuthberts. although the many scrapes
into which Anne gets herself are a
"reat trial to her staid foster parents.
OF course there is a certain young
man in the town-and every indica-
ton that the wedding bells will soon
be ringing.
Listed as an added attraction, yet
alone worthy of. the price of admis-
sion. is Hector Goldspink, lyric tenor

with sweet warblings, dainty trills

is misleading, because the canary
isn't a canary but is just the pet
name of an overgrown yellow dia-
mond that serves as a corner stone
for a plot that enables Julia Sander

the playgoers vision.
Cawthorn is discovered in an an

Miss Sanderson. When DIR. Ned Breeze

horizon, and we realize that the sue

erence to playing opposite Miss San
derson) is at hand. Thenceforth we
are free to enjoy Mr.. Cawthorn's
punful and pugnacious humor free of
the fear that we are to behold him in
any bill-and-coo bits.
Not all of the hoRors of the pro-
duction fall to the headlined prin-

Loew's CoIambia-Dorothy Dalton In
0L'Apache."

An unusual story of great dramatic
power is told in "LApache," the new
Dorothy Dalton picture produced by
Thomas II. IRe. which was shown as
Paramount -Artcraft feature at
I.oew's Columbia Theater last night.
As the title implies. the scenes are
laid in the Partisan underworld. where
the denizens Of the bohemian quar-
ters mingle with the notorious Apache
band of hold-up men and thieves. Miss
Dalton plays two contrasting roles
with admirable finesse. differentiating
between the two with the skill of the
trained actress.
At the start. she is an Apache dane
ing girl who has married a brutal
leader of the band in order to save
the name of her brother. He Is her
partner in the dance which nightly
entertains the people OF the demi-
monde. Miss Dalton reveals herself
as a dancer of exquisite grace and
vivaciousness. But she always con-
veys to the audience the intense
hatred with which Natalie Bourget re-
CARDS the man. even as she smiles in
his face in the dance. The genius
Of Mr.. Ince assists in making these
scenes extremely realistic.
Finally the girl flies from her master
and by chance encountersfan Ameri-
can girl who looks exactly like her.
Helen, the American, has been lead
ing a life of shame with Forbes, a
profligate millionaire. Wishing to con-
ceal 1t from her folks. she suggests
that she and Natalie change positions.
Natalie agrees. Miss Dalton plays also
the part Of Helen and wears some
wonderful gowns, which made the
ladies in last nights audience open
their eyes. Helen finds 1t impossible
to go on with life and ends 1t all In
the Seine. The same night Forbes is
murdered by the Apache. Natalie's
partner.
Weeks later when the girl is finding
In a villa near Paris, she is
hailed into court as Forbes murderess.
But by startling twist she is able
to clear herself and win love and a
bright future. Portraying both the
dancer and the rich American, Miss
Dalton has one Of the richest and
most entertaining roles in her screen
career. She Is both the vivaeious
gamin Of The Flame of the Yukon
and georgeously attired heiress of
Extravaganza" The manner in
which she enacts both parts with
grace and skill Is a tribute to her
genius.
The picture is appropriately supple
mented by a number of subsidiary
cinema and musical features Of dis

TWO new co-stars held the screen
at Loew's Palace Theater yesterday
IN "Twenty- three and a Half Hours
Leave" which will be the feature of
the Palace program all this week.
Douglas MacLean and Doris May are
their names and this is the first time
they have blossomed forth as stars
1t Is a happy co-starring team which
these two players provide. They have
youth, good looks and plenty Of per-
sonality.
The present picture Is splendid light
comedy. with a strong romantic in
terest. and centers around a training
camp in which men were prepared
for the recent war. 'Twent y-three
and a Half Hours Leave" does not.
however, have any war atmosphere.
II Is pure fun and romance from
first to last. and is remotely removed
from anything in the least gruesome
or forbidding. 1t is an adaptation
from a story by Mary Roberts Rine-
hart. recently published in one OF
the popular national magazines. Mrs.
Rinehart Is an author who is con-
stantly in touch with the wants OF
the public, and her "Twenty-three
anu f1dlI f1OuTS Leave IS pTOOi
conclusive of this statement.
The stars appear as William Ora J.
a sergeant of the training camp. and
Peggy Dodge. the daughter of the
general in command.
A good many humorous high-lights
have been brought out on the screen.
1t is only necessary to relate the
manner in which Bill meets Peggy
clad in an ulster and B. v. D.'s.
owing to the fact that he has been
deprived of his uniform because he
was wearing a tailor-made article
and to refer in general to the many
humorous scenes which arise when
Bill simply can't hold to the rules
and regulations Of the mans army
OF which he is a part.
The new stars have made their
screen bow together under the per-
sonal supervision Of Thomas n.
Ince.
Mr.. Ince in his position back OF
the motion picture camera is the i'm
portant factor in the production Of
Ince-Paramount pctures, and under
his guiding care the future OF Mr..
MacLean and Miss May appears un-
usually rosy. The picture IL delight
