Crandnlrs-Dustin Farnum.

Dustin Farnum proves his claim
to distinction as star of silent
drama in Big Happiness" a Rob-
ertson-Cole special feature, which
opened a four-day run at Crandall's
Theater yesterday. In this hand
somely mounted and intensely dram
attic film play. the star appears IN
the dual role of twin brothers, one
a representative figure in the high
est social and financial circles; the
other a bachelor ne'er-do-well.
The climax of the absorbing plot
is the outgrowth OF the rich broth
er's having persuaded his twin TO
take his place in society and busi-
ness while he departed incoErito
for America to perfect a deal that
was to be the undoing of his com
petitors. Everything went wei un-
til the return voyage was begun.
when the boat sank well out to sea
and the married brother was re-
ported dead. The masQuerading ms
band and captain of finance then
took life in earnest, captured ,he
love of his brothers wife and as
sumed the titles and estates of his
twin. But the traveller had not lost
his life and did return to his own
Big Business" is one of the most
picturesquely set offerings of tie

the grandeur and majestic beauties
of the Swiss Alps possess all of the

and the interiors are to an equa.
degree opulent.
The bill for the first four DAYS Of

|BALLOU TELLS
SCHOOL NEEDS
Says Educational Systems
Of Present Day Face
Changed Problems.

Education plays an important role
in the government of the United
States.
These few words comprise the
bulk of a sermon delivered by
Frank w. Ballou. superintendent of
schools. to a large crowd at the
Cleveland Park Congregational
Church.
DIR. Ballou outlined the advances
of the American educational system.
from it's origin in 1850 until the
present.
DIR. Ballou said in part: More at
tention has to be paid to the several
students who leave schools during
the eighth and ninth year. Prevo-
industrial and part-time
course have been successfully in
troduced into the schools, while the
courses continue to hold
a majority of the students.
Unlike the bygone days when
young people were permitted to en-
ter the large universities IL they
were able to solve the hard prob
lens placed before them by their
elders, the students of today must
pass preparatory examinations aiter
completing their grade and high
school courses. The universities of
old offered courses similar to those
offered today. by the high schools.
But the universities of the present
time have courses OF advanced prob
lens OF the day"
DR.. BalIou denounced the rule
whereby high school students were
forced to buy some of their text
books.
He stated that a plan ought to be
devised whereby an advanced" stu
dent might be able to finish the
tweIve-year schooling period in
eleven years, instead Of keeping
time with those who are not so
bright" DR.. Ballou AYERS that the
children who are kept down by
others inability fall into the habits
of laziness and neglect.

revolver apparently loaded with an

ply the principal means of humor

The new issue Of the Pathe News

was especially appropriate and
tuneful afforded other divertine
features that meet with the hearty
approval of yesterdays crowds.
The foremost offering at the
knickerbocker today is whitman

powerful and convincing charac-

Loew's Palace Wallace Reid, In
always Audacious.-

In all the literature of the screen
there Is not to be found a charac-
terization that will excel the dual
role assumed by Wallace Reid, the
photoplay's most popular juvenile
actor, in always Audacious." the
vivid and compelling cinema adapt
alton of Ben Ames Williams Sat-
urday Evening Post story. "Tou-
jours de rAudace." which began a
weeks engagement at Loew's Pal
ace Theater yesterday as the fea-
tured attraction OF the program.
In this production Mr.. Reid as
sumed the role of Perry Danton. a
young San Francisco millionaire,
who had a physical double in Slim
Attucks, a gentleman crook. VINO
was born on the same day and
resembles the millionaire exactly.
The crook arranges for a kidnap-
Ing of the millionaire. and the coup
is successfully accomplished and
the millionaire Is shanghaied. The
manner in which the crook steps
into the millionaire's position in
life, spends his money. and even
courts the millionaire's sweetheart.
Is a graphic enough story. but the
manner in which the millionaire
Perry eventually manages to es-
tablish his own identity and ex-
pose the crook makes one of the
most fascinating screen offerings
that IT has been the good fortune
of Loew's Palace to present in many
months.
Mr.. Reid, of course, assumes the
roles of both crook and millionaire
The picture. altogether aside from
Its dramatic grip and appeals. is ut
terly remarkable for the magic of
its camera craft, which is evidenced
in some double-exposure work that
eXcels anything the screen can Of
fer. Mr.. Reid is supported by Mar
garet Loomis and a supporting COM
'pany that includes Clarence Geldart.
J. NJ. Dumont. Rhea Haines, Carmen
Phillips and others. James Cruze
directed the production.

Moore's Garden-.'The Forbidden
Thing.~

Mystery-subtle and yet poignant.
That's THE Forbidden Thing" one
of the latest Allan Dwan produc-
tions presented at Moore's Garden
Theater yesterday, the showing to
continue throughout the week. Cross
currents of human passion ever play
at cross purposes. The spiritual is
arrayed against the physical in the
race for love.
The Forbidden Thing" is a story
that ripples with amusement at
times, and at others. bubbles with
human emotions. The 1.-the, sensu-
Gus, dark-eyed Portuguese maiden
weaves her spell about the stalwart
descendant of the Pilgrim fathers
and causes wreck and ruin in her
wake. Romance fees before her and
tragedy ever follows her. She. the
physical attraction. reigns for an
awful day. and then comes light.
James Kirkwood plays the part of
Abel Blake. descendant of the Pill
grim fathers. His tion
is one of the best in which he has
ever been seen. He portrays the
character of the young New Eng
lander. Helen Jerome Eddy is also
good in her interpretative work.
Marcia Manon plays the part of
the dashing Portuguese maiden
with >finesse as well as finish.
The direction shows the hand Of
Allan Dwan at his best. Lighting ef-
fects are excellent, as are the at
mosphere. types and all that enters
into the picture.
The added attraction for the week,
"a Trip Through the Worlds
Greatest Motion Picture Studios" a
production made by special arrange
ment with Thomas H. Ince and
taken at his West Coast plant, is
highly entertaining.

THE Master Mind whitman Ben
nett's perturbation of Daniel G..
Carter's successful melodrama of the
same name, which was presented by
First National for the first time in
Washington at Crandall's Metropoli-
tan Theater yesterday. is a study In
the futility of revenge.
Lionel Barrymore in the title role
offers an impersonation that is free
from artificialities.
The, plot traces the scheme of a
master psychologist to wreak VEN
geance for the death of an innocent
younger brother upon the ambitious
district attorney who utilized the
youths conviction of capital crime
as stepping stone to higher office.

on virtue and drinks a toast to
the devil, "a better master" In
a trip to the East to convey money
to the mother of dying miner.
circumstantial evidence points to-
ward him as a murderer.
The manner in which the dawn of
a great love forces him TO accept the
guilt for the murder, rather than let
an innocent man hang, is second only
in climactic Importance to the ro-
mantle denouement of the story, in
which the reformed gambler is saved
from death by the confession of the
real slayer.
Mr.. Faversham's supporting cast is
exceptionally brilliant. Lucy Cotton
is his leading woman and the mem
bers of his company include Pedro
de Cordoba, Lulu Warrenton, Robert
Conville and others.

clude the latest Buster Keaton COM

screen, and when that story has
whole lot of dramatic suspense
lnterwoven with thrills II becomes
doubly appealing.
IL was just, this happy combina-
ton that was offered patrons of
Moore's Rialto Theater yesterday in
the presentation of one of the lat
est big Allan Dwan productions in
The Heart of a Fool" a powerful
representation of American life
adapted from the novel of the same
name by William Allen White.
The story has to do with man

Gayety-Lew Kelly show.

The Lew Kelly show, featuring
Kelly himself, generally conceded
to be the most popular as well as
most distinctive comedian on the
Columbia burlesque circuit, opened
a weeks engagement at the Gayety
Theater yesterday. Kelly. who
originated his famous character Of
Professor Dope" while with Ward
and Nokes years ago. presents a
new series of adventures of the
genial drug addict.
The audience caught their first
glimpse of him in The Broadway
Follies," a sketch filled with humor
provoking situations. This was
followed by The Mexican Board
ers," in which the professor will try
his hand at settling revolutions.
The second half of the show is
devoted to The Dream Man." a
burletta. rich in catchy music and
clever comedy.
Kelly is supported by a cast which
includes Sallie Clifford, prima
donna, who never fails to score in
the many songs assigned to her;
Arthur Putnam, Joe Holland. Kath-
leen Oden. Larrie Clifford, Margaret
Haven and Dot Duval.
A scenic and costume investiture
is noteworthy, as are also the cleo
trical effects. The show is one of
many novelties and specialties.
The musical score, which is from
the pen of a well-known composer.
is rich in tunes that particularly
adapt themselves to whistling. The
girls of the chorus, twenty in all,
are good to look upon, know how
to sing and dance. and go through
their portion of the program with
grace and vivacity.
