Bert Lytell in
"Alias Jimmy Valentine"

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" the ro-
mantle melodrama upon which the
fame Of Paul Armstrong as a play
wright principally rests. was present
ed for the first time in Washington in
elaborated photoplay form at Gran
dalrs Metropolitan Theater Sunday,
with Bert Lytell pictured in the role
of the gentleman safecracker whose
cleverness outwitted a nations police
and whose genuine reformation won
the love Of q bankers daughter.
Upon the screen this exceptional
dramatization of o. Henry's famous
short story, "a Retrieved Reforma-
tion." possesses all of the elements of
sure appeal to every class and every
age of theatergoer. There is romance
for the lovers of gentle sentiment;
there are thrills for those with a bent
for the more vigorous forms Of dra-
matte action; there Is pathos for the
tenderly inclined, and there is humor
in abundance for those who obture So
lemnity in their pantomimic diversion.
And 1t is all exceedingly well express
ed upon the silver sheet by Mr.. Lytell
and q supporting cast that is led by
Vola Vale and a band of skilled play
ers, who draw striking contrasts in
the divergent roles of Red" Jocelyn,
Bill Avery. Cotton and Detective
Doyle. the nemesis of all who had
ever assumed that tell-tale badge Of
prison pallor.
The chief supporting feature Of the
bill is school Days" typically hi
larious Larry Semon two-reel comedy.
Other contributory offerings include
the Memorial Day issue of the Inter-
national News, a new grist Of Topics

The border line Of the Southwest is

on a traitor in his band, William S.
