KNICK ERBOCKER-
1.-The Riddle Woman"

Hal Roach Mack Sennetts only
dangerous rival. in Mammals Boy"
his latest vehicle for the pulchritudi-
nous charms OF the Vanity Fair Girls,
which was shown for the first time
in Washington as foremost of the
supplementary features of the bill at
Crandall's Knickerbocker Theater, has
made a supercake-eater the central
figure in a series of episodes that are
genuinely laughabie.
1t is explained early in the action of
this splendidly produced farce that
Mammals Boy" was sent to the
woods on a months vacation because
his family needed it. In the wilds
he is attnded by a valet and a chef
who wait on him hand and foot. even
going so far as to light his cigarettes
and butter his toast. Then the molly
coddle is discovered by six young
women who have camp OF their own
nearby and the real fun begins.
Their persecution is of that exaui-
site sort that only the more deadly of
the species is able to conceive until
the vapid young man displays rare
heroism in his conduct toward a bear
that strays down from the noun
tains. The fact that he thought 1t
was a bird dog has no effect upon the
completeness of his masculine domi-
nation of the entire neighborhood
from then on. The fun developed
during the single reel OF this subject
is wholesome and clean and in every
material respect is on a par with the
other brilliant comedies released from
the same studio.
The Pathe News. with new closeup
studies of the presidential candidates
in action and other interesting de-
yelopments of the last week in wor ia
events affords another thoroughly en-
joyable feature of the bill.
The foremost attraction at the
Knickerbocker yesterday and today
is Associated Exhibitors first super

formerly played by Bertha Kalich is
now interpreted by Geraldine Farrar

The same enormous crowds, the same
enthusiastic acclaim and the same
wonder at its visual beauty and tre-
mendous appeal as upon it's first ap-
pearance in Washington greeted the
reopening of the run in response to
popular demand yesterday.
"The Woman in His House" is one

actually had honesty and the love Of
a beautiful girl both thrust upon him
before he decided that honesty and a
happy home made the best possible
combination. even when compared TO
floating fake oil wells and doing odd
jobs of burglary.
That's the theme of the farce-com-
edy Of decidedly romantic strain that
brought Douglas MacLean. the Wash
ington boy and photoplay star. to
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday as
the featured screen player OF the pro-
gram there this week. MacL.ean is
supported by Doris May, his former
oo-star. and the story itself. by Julien
Josephson, author OF so many out
standing photoplay hits for Charles
Ray, reveals rich vein OF satire that
is frequently downright Thoughtful in
its conception.
Although Mr.. MacLean in THE
Jailbird.' constitutes the featured Of
fering Of the program. the Palace
also offers an array OF extra added
attractions that include the latest
Chester comedy. The Big Show" with
the educated Chester animals and the
baby; the latest issue OF the Para
mount Magazine and the Pathc news
pictures. the Literary Digest's ever
timely and humorous Topical Tips
and an overture. Melodies OF Scot

ring fashion by the Palace symphony
Orchestra under the guidance of Di-
rector Cannon.
THE Jailbird." as far as its story
is concerned, is the story OF Shakes
peare Clancy who escapes from Jail

other troubles in Kansas awaiting
him as an uncle's legacy. and begins
to practise journalism on a radical
scale
When big business in Dodson
Kans.. take exception to his journal
ism and cuts of his revenue. he floats
fake oil well, floods the town with
stock and then is bowled over by
watching his fake well spout real oil.
With more money than he ever saw
before, he sees that honesty is his
real, pre-dc stined policy and proposes
to the girl he has learned to love. To
his amazement, she accepts him and
it is only then that he realizes that
he must go back and serve hiG obliga-
ton to society before he can become
real, honest member of society.
It's n real bill at the Palace this
week, crammed with comedy. novelty
and good, old-fashioned heart appeal.

Thomas Meighan, popular motion

prominence in his profession to

years with the screen, he has played

uously manifested. Tall. handsome,
dashing and an assiduous student Of
the technique of his art. he vests all
OF his Characterization with convinc-
Ing originality of conception. effective
ness and charm of portrayal. This
was amply substantiated at Moores
Garden yesterday, where his latest
Paramount-Ar special produc-
ton, Civilian Clothes" an adoption
of the stage success of the same name
by Thompson Buchanan, entered It's
second consecutive week of showing,
the original engagement of one week
having been extended to meet an I'M
precedented demand for seats.
As a captain in the A. e. +. who.
after being reported officially dead,
returns to the United States to dis
cover that the petted society girl he
married in France was attracted more
by the uniform than by the man, Mr..
Meighan gives one of the most spir-
tied and enjoyable performances Of
his career. OF course. he wins back
his wife eventually. but not until he
