Geraldine Farrar's reputation for
sartorial splendor is such that she is
at her wits end to Guido herself in
each succeeding Goldwyn Picture. For
she contends that the first duty of a
star is to interest her audience no
less by her acting than by her appear
ance.
I II is known that the international
celebrity never wears the same gown
in public twice After costume has
served it's purpose either in opera, on
the concert stage or in the Goldwyn
Pictures it is cast aside What does
Geraldine Farrar do with all the hats,
wraps, dresses and accessories she
uses once and no more? Everything
goes to the Stage Women's War Re-
lief at monthly intervals. Sold to
actresses at a fraction of their cost,
the proceeds are devoted to the work
of the organization now that the war
IS over.
In Shadows" newest of her series
of Goldwyn Pictures in which the diva
appears at the Washington Theatre
the last time today, she wears magni-
ficent apparel.
At the time the play was produced
Miss Farrar declared that her cos
tunes were the richest she had ever
worn. Thoroughly modern, they voice
the last word in feminine fashions.
The dresses cannot fail to hold unus-
ual interest for every woman. The
pity Of it is that the colors of the
fabrics cannot be shown.

Onions, recommended as staple
article of diet, odorifefous but de-
lightful to the palate, may disrupt
home-this much is proved in Cevil
B. DeMille's new special Aracraft pic
ture. Don't Change Your husband"
by Jeanne Macpherson, whit is shown
at the Murray theater today.
In fact, the reason, or at least the
most potent one, for Leila Porter lin
the photoplay) changing husbands,
was that her better half persisted in
eating onions. This, mixed with the
odor of tobacco ruined the chance for
a reconciliation and when he might
have saved his home from being dis
rupted, Porter spoiled all by trying
to kiss his wife after making meal
of tender and succulent green onions.
There were other things that aggra-
waited the case-such as Porter's bad
habit of putting his feet on the nice
sofa pillows, splitting ashes all over
himself and the floor; allowing his
mustache to get straggly and I'M
buttoning his vest for greater COM
fort as his waistband expanded. But
it was the onions that capped the
climax.
Wallace Reds newest picture,
alias Mike Moran" is story that
proves the folly of deception. If man
tells lie or deceives, he Immediately
becomes a slave and remains en-
shackled until he confesses and clears
his conscience. And the ladies aren't
excepted.
In this photoplay which will be
shown at the Murrette theatre next
Friday and Saturday, Larry Young de-
ceives his sweetheart, his friends and
his country by sending another man
in his place when he is drafted to
serve in the army. Then he has to
leave town to make his deception
stick. His man goes over, fights and
is killed and dies hero's death. Then
Larry is in a pickle. To the world, his
family, and his sweetheart, he is a
dead man. How can he face them
now?
But there are times in mans life
when he turns on the devil within him
and blots it from his path and con-
fesses regardless of the outcome. How
Wallace Reid turned the trick in
Alias, Mike Moran" is admirably
