"The Grim Game"

THE Grim Game" an out-of-the-
ordinary picture melodrama in which
Houdini, "the handcuff king" appears
as the star. is the attraction at
Moore's Rialto this week. Those who
have followed this man of mystery
on the vaudeville stage in his wide
variety of acts that have baffled the
skill of the Wardens of penitentiaries,
jailers and experts in holding crim
nails with the best devices in locks
and bars known to penal institutions
may nevertheless expect surprise after

this new manifestation fhis pecul-
lar specialties. The picture is a tri-
umph of it's kind from the Para
mount Aircraft Company.
The Grim Game" strongly features
the airplane. One of the big thrills
that set in motion the hot blood of
excitement Is a collision of two plants
5000 feet in the air and the crashing
Of the big machines to earth, the oc-
cupants being snatched from almost
certain death by a seeming miracle.
Kennedy detective tales. and John
W. Gray, who have written a story
around Houdini. bring out all the
possibilities of the great wizard and
illusionist.
Houdini is pictured as a reporter.
and in that role seeks to secure big
SCOOP for his paper. A millionaire
uncle is to be carried off to the
mountains for his health, and fake
murder is to be staged. in which the
reporter is to implicate himself. He
plans to be arrested for the supposed

the newspaper is to print the scoop,
in which the true story is to appear.
The uncle, however. is really muir

reporter undertakes and succeeds in
solving the mystery of the murder IN
a series of highly sensational achieve
ments replete with Houdini feats.

ing incidents in the career of youth

touches that render 1t difficult for an
audience to determine whether the
correct thing is to laugh continuously
and call the picture farce. or sit in
apprehensive fear throughout its
length and classify it as melodrama.
The story leads Billy Brooks from a
large city to the adventurous south

Babylon" which is sumptuous. color

magnitude. One of brilliant array Of
thrilling scenes is the army of Cyrus,
the Persian, advancing to destroy the
city of Babylon. whose walls are
800 feet high. The horsemen who
thrilled the spectator in 'The Birth
of Nation" could be swallowed up
and lost in this mighty cavalry OF
Cyrus. This march is but one of many
tremendous scenes which show the
attack on the walls, where, it is
stated. no less than 10000 warriors
push their siege towers against the
massive barricades. Men grapple ana
fall swords and spears flash, batter
ing rams hammer the gates, huge
catapults hurl great rocks through
the air and giant crossbows discharge
immense arrows. The realism of the
conflict is impressive. =,
These battle scenes are but small
part of the colossal theme. The stage
settings have not been surpassed IN
size and magnif1cence. The Palace OF
Belshazzer and the Temple of Bel. an

we'll known to Washington theater-
goers. in the leading role
Although based on the recent world
war, the play does not depend upon
war for its success. 1t is thrilling
portrayal of the invisible struggle
which was waged for five years be-
tween the secret services of Germany
and the allies. From the prologue
to the closing scene the play is a
battle of wits between the intell-
gence agents of England and Ger

unfolded his story that it is doubtful
If even the most constant readers of
mystery tales could forecast the out
come of the tangle into which the
characters in Three Faces East"
find themselves. Frequently the audi
ence is left in doubt as to who really
is German and who English. and as
the plot is unfolded surprises come
fast
The author has injected several
situations into the play which make
the pulse beat faster. In the first
act the tramping of an American
division. marching through the streets
of London to the tune Of Yankee
Doodle" adds a strong bit of by
play. Again, in a later scene, an
air raid on London enlivens the
action.
The story begins with Miss Heming,
as Helene of the German intelligence
bureau. leaving Berlin for London.
In the English metropolis she wins
her way into the home of member
Of the cabinet, where she becomes
one strand in an intricate network
of secret agents. both of England and
Of Germany. 1t is the kind of play
that keeps your eyes toward the
stage. for things happen so quickly
that interest never lags.
Miss Heming was given a generous
welcome back to Washington and de-
lighted her local admirers as the play
progressed. The acting of Maurice
Freeman as Valdar, a butler. is ex-
ceptional. Others who fill their roles
we'll are Charles Harbury, as a MEM
ber Of the British cabinet: Frank
Westerton. as a British army officer
and brother of a cabinet member. and
