"L'Apache.' the newest Ince pro-
duction TO bring Dorothy Dalton to
the screen of Loew's Columbia
Theater. where IL began a four-day
run yesterday as a first-time shown
picture, is an unusual story OF great
dramatic force. The Paris under
world is the locale Of most of it's ac-
tion. Two strongly contrasting roles
are assumed by Miss Dalton.
At the start, Miss Dalton is seen as
a girl of the slums. in virtual slavery
to an Apache gang leader. She fees
her brutal master; meets an Amer
lean girl of striking physical resem-
blance who had been leading a shame
full life with a profligate she loves
The story as developed, shows the
manner in which the slum girl escap-
ed from her sordid and impossible
and how the American
girl escaped 2rom her life. The slum
girl finds love and the other finds
death and the manner in which these
developments are depicted makes
"L'Apache" one of the strongest and
most colorful photodramas the screen
has witnessed in months.

STRAND.

Half a score of winsome, shapely
lasses. from among the flock Of bath
ing girls that Mack Sennett has made
famous on the screen, or who, per-
haps, have made Mack Sennett fa-
nous, are appearing in person this
week at the Strand in conjunction with
the five-reel comedy, Yankee Doodle
in Berlin"
Washingtonisns evidently have an
eye for pulchritude, and the picture
and the girls appeared before capacity
performances. Judging from COM
ments OF passers-by who had seen the.
show, IL was the bevy of girls and
not the picture that really was the
attraction.
terribly uproarious, perhaps the ef-
fects were lessened by dragging
two-reel comedy into a iye-reeI prop
osition.
The story deals with the adventures
of an American aviator who flies to
Berlin In the guise OF beautiful dam
sci, and picks up an acquaintance
with William and his family, not for
getting Won Hindenburg. or "HIndy."

CRANDALL's.

A vivid film, study of diplomatic
intrigues and sensational deyotions
embracing every stratum of society
in Paris is on view at CrandaiIs
Theater the first four days of this
week under the title of The SnaTcs
of Paris with Madame TraveTre
pictured in the role OF stellar in
portance.
Miss Traverse is cast in the ro'c
of Marguerite Coullard. wife OF the
French minister of foreign affairs.
Her life has been free from every
thing but the appearance of social
intrigue with persons outside her own
social circle. Her husband is prepar-
ing q secret treaty of immense i'm
portance for Illicit uses to Belloc' 4
traitorous operative in the FrencH
secret service stationed in another
country. A murder is committed In
an effort to secure the coveted docH-
ment, and in her attempt to render
aid to the victim, Nine. Coullard dis
covers a son by a former marriage
in an Apache haunt in the lowest
quarter of Paris, where he has sunk
to the uttermost depths as an absinthe
fiend. From this point the narrative
pursues its flambuoyant course win

EBERT AND NOSKE

Incurred by Pair at
Dargnstadt.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.-President Ebert
and Gustav Noske, minister of de-
fense. have been criticised for the ex-
pelse bills they incurred during their
recent stay at Darmstadt. The crit
les say that luncheons and dinners
cost upward of $1,000. exclukive of
wine, OF which rsore than 200 bottles
were consumed. and complain that
$40 for spent or fioral decorations
Such items, say the critics, scarcely
can be reconciled with the govern
ment's admonitions to the public to
account for every penny. They ac-
cuse the present government OF keep

RIAITO.

Anne Of Green Gables" was pre-
sented at Moore's Rialto Theater yes
terday as the weeks attraction, 1t
also being the premier showing Of the
picture anywhere in the country.
Mary Miles Winter appears in the
title role. This delightful young ac-
tress steps into a part that fits her
perfectly, and as a result is revealed
az 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 wonanhood. She comes to
the "Cuthberts," an elderly brother
and sister, who live at Green Gables,
in a small, out-of-the-way New Eng
land town, after they have requested
the State orphan asylum to send them
"a willing child" Through misunder-
standing, the authorities send "Anne"
instead of the boy requested. Her
welcome is cold. but they 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, great trial to her staid
foster parents. or course. there is a
certain young man in the town. and

The Canary" is an enjoyable mu-
sical comedy and then practically
eevrything is said, There is a minus
plot clothed with a number of songs
and dances. Some of the songs are
sweet and catchy, and some are ade-
quately described by Rube Goldberg

The dancing, however, was a treat
Doyle and Dixon could have danced

for more" Julia Sanderson, winsome
and popular, also contributed some
of the light fantastic, and the only
regret about Marie Callahan's work
was that she was not given an oppor-
tunity to dance until the last act. and
then not very much. She is small
but petite" as wise New York press
agent with a limited knowledge Of
French once remarked in the office.
Her dancing is dainty. graceful, and
extremely pleasing to the eye.
The first scene is laid in an antique
shop. and most of the pokes are quite
in keeping with the setting of the
act. "A Thousand Years ago" one Of
theose River Nile things, with Egyp-
tian dancers, and a quartet of wrap
ped mummies is quite the best thing
in the first act. In fact, that song and
the other by Miss Sanderson. 81 Have
Just One Heart" are about the only
ones that are catchy enough to be re-
membered by the time you have
reached the car line after leaving the
show. The canary, by the way. is not
a bird, but grown-up diamond.
The sporting editors parlance is
well suited for describing the second
act, and could read like a description
of one inning of a game, "one run,
one hit" The hit was Miss Sander
sons song II Have Just One Heart"
and the run was scored by Maude
Eburne, who came in the second act
as sort of pinch and immedi-
ately produced the goods. Taking the
part of "Hibernian Theda Bara" she
saved an otherwise drab act. Es-
pecially clever were her attempts to
vamp Cawthern. She is one of the
real condolences of today's stage. and
for broad comedy is right up with the
leaders.
The last act, as usual with most
musical comedies, is devoted to un-
tangling the rather scanty skein of
plot. Audiences these days may laugh
at risqqe jokes, but IL is very doubtful
if they really enjoy them, and the
blue pencil could be effectively used
in one OF two places. Furthermore, a
pretty song such as Love Me In the
Spring" does not need profanity to
put it over"
AS for Cawthorn. he is Cawthorn all
the way through the play. Eugene
Revere is acceptable as Ned Breeze,
and the chorus was pretty.

articulate version had possessed the
magnificence of setting and the uni
formly artistic finish that charac-
terize the famous farce in photoplay
form, as revealed to capacity audi
ences at Crandalrs Metropolitan The
ater yesterday, 1T probably would
still be reigning as the laughing hit
of Broadway. Viola Dana and An
trim Short. incidentally, contribute
representations of the harrassed
young newlyweds that compare rath-
er more than favorably with the
original portrayals of the amusing
figures In the play first etched by
Edith Taliaferro and Ernest Truck.
1t would be well for young people
contemplating surreptitious matri-
mony to lend their earnest scrutiny
to this pictured tale of adolescent
love attempting to combat the COM
bined embarrassments heaped upon
IL by irate parents, an outraged
clergy and over-zeaIous plain clothes
men assigned to a fashionable hotel.
There should be no doubt about the
legality OF the marriage. A burglar
married Muriel Ashley and Ferdy
Walton. They were fooled complete
ly by the perfection of his disguise
and the fact that he was known as
the "Parson." 1t was only the fact
that this prowler In the night hap

love were the least concerned of all

all of the surety that conventional
society deems requisite.
Suppleme nting the major feature of

interesting subsidiary features.
PALACE.
Any doubt that may have existed
in the minds of the skeptical as to
the wisdom of the Ince maneuver
that made Douglas MacLean and
Doris May a team of cinema co-stars,
was completely swept away by the
forceful and finished manner in which
this pair of players put over at
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday
their first starring vehicle, ''23h
Hours Leave" an Ince adoption of
Mary Roberts Rinehart's Saturday
Evening Post story of an canton
ment love affair.
Mr.. Mclean. who is a former Wash
ton youngster, evidenced an ability
to interpret high comedy that was
positively remarkable in its skill.
Doris May, his co-starring team mate,
is one OF the most charmingly In
genuous types the screen has seen to
advantage in many months.
"23Ih Hours Leave" is one of the
best Of the Rinehart stories. 1t con-
Germs a rookie and his bet with a
sergeant that the rookie will be in
vited to breakfast with the general.
The manner in which this thought is
worked out includes a love affair, a
spy plot and a tense and never-ceas-
lag suspense that eNcites only the
highest praise.
The picture was supplemented by
number of excellent minor features
and the Palace symphony Orchestra

I CHAPTER III !
Introducing Nathanial Burton
Cur,r,leS

At about s o'clock in the morn
ing of the following day Mr.. Ma
thaniel Burton Cupples stood on the
veranda of the hotel at Marlstone,
He was thinking about breakfast. In
his case the colloquialism must be
taken literally; he really was think
ing about breakfast, as he thought
about every conscious act OF his life
when time allowed deliberation. He
reflected that on the preceding day
the excitement and activity follow
ing upon the discovery of the corpse
had disorganized his appetite and
led to his taking considerably less
nourishment than usual. This morn
ing he was very hungy,. having al
ready been up and about TOR an
hour; and he decided to allow him
self a third piece of toast and an
additional egg; the rest as usual.
The remaining deficit must be made
up at luncheon; but that could be
gone into later.
So much being determined, Mr..
Cupples applied himself to the en-
ioyment of the view for few min
ufes before ordering his meal. With
connoisseur's eye he explored the
beauty of the rugged coast, where
great pierced rock rose from a
CLASSY sea, and the ordered love
liness of the vast tilted levels Of
pasture and tillage and woodland
that sloped- gently up from the
cliffs toward the distant moor. Mr..
Cupples delighted in landscape.
He was a man of middle height
and spare figure nearly so years old,
by constitution rather delicate in
health, but wiry and active for his
age. A sparse and struggling beard
and mustache did not conceal a
thin but kindly mouth; his eyes
were keen and pleasant; his sharp
nose and narrow jaw gave him very
much the air of priest, and this
impression was helped by his COM
monplace dark clothes and soft
black hat. He was a man of un-
usually conscientious, industrious
and orderly mind, with little imag-
ination. His fathers household
had been used to recruit its do
mestic establishment by means of
advertisements in which it was
truthfully described as serious
family. From that fortress of gloom
he had escaped with two sanity
gifts somehow unspoiled: an mex
haustible kindness of heart and a
capacity for innocent gaiety which
owed nothing to humor. In an
earlier day and with a clerical train.
