Owen Moore In
"PiccadilIy Jim"

owen Moore III
''Pieesdiliy jim"
l.. G.. Wodehouse has a peculiar
facility In the creation Of laughaole
situations and pungent dialogue.
Probably none OF this young writer's
works has achieved a greater degree
OF popular success than "Piccadilly
Jim" the story of the New YORK
newspaper reporter who kept him
self continually before the London
public and the police court magis-
trates by perpetrating all manner OF
harmless misdemeanors. The photo
play version OF "Piccadilly Jim"
which was shown for the first time
in Washington at crandalls Metro
politan Theater yesterday before
crowds that far overran the capacity
OF the theater, emphasizes the whinI-
steal humor OF the story. ampllhes In
every respect the articulate version
of the comedy, and affords Owen
Moore perfect opportunity TO dem
onstrate his right to place among
the screens most natural, most re-
sourceful and most suAye comedians
The major theme OF the narratives
celluloid form is found in the quick
love that springs up in the heart Of
the blase man-about-town for Ann
Chester, a niece OF social climbers
who abhor Jimmy Crocker and all Of
his outrageous escapades. The
counterpart centers in the attempted
kidnapping OF ogden PETIT, the 'per-
feet sixty-siN," who was everything
thai an entirely obnoxious youth
ought to be. Both stories are worked
out with great good nature and con-
spicuous dramatic skill.
The foremost supplementary offer
ing for the week Is 1.-THE Grocery
Clerk" new Larry Semon comedy.
in which are divulged a succession OF
episodes that are irresistibly funny.
Current events and the uniformly d.
verting Topics of the Day" furnished
additional features of program
which will be further augmented to-
day by first Washington showings
of Martin Johnson's Lonely South
Sea Island Missions" The bill Is
completed by splendid orchestral set
ting and special overture "Sakuntala,"
under the direction Of Mr.. Vioni.
