"Friyolities of 1920"
Just Another Revue.

Henry Lewis. to whom falls the
burden OF the comedy stuff in q. M.

OF spectacular revue, stood up in the
second act OF the "Frivolities" last
night and criticised the show himself.
Here's what Henry spake. and re-
member, many a true word is Oft
spoken in Jest:
The average price OF admission TO
this show is $3.50. We nave ABOUT
$50 performers-thatf figures out that
you pay about one cent for each actor

you expect for one cent?
In tempering Henry's crooi woids'
we might remark that In many cases,
the audience was oyercharged, nut
in a few instances, they got their
moneys worth--and In some cases
little more. --.. -.r
The "Frivolities" is another OF that
outburst OF imitation "Follies' with
which the Tired Business Man has OF
late been pesteL>. Just because
certain gentleman yclept Ztegfeld at
tanned considerable fame by reason
OF his ability to present delightfully
entertaining show devoid or plot, but
with much humor and beauteous fem

on the part OF other producers. and

KNICK ERBOCKER.
NazimOva in
"War Brides"

There have been numerous thu
lar Inquiries recently released as
essential identihcations of motion pic
ture plays relative to the desirability
OF disclosing vital secrets. Not long
ago the important question was
should A Woman Tell?' Yesterday
at Crandalrs knickerbocker Theater
capacity audiences were diverted by
an amusing comedy which occupied
the position Of chief supplementary
feature on the bill under the perplex
ing interrogative title, "Should Hus-
band Tell?" OF course, that all de-
ponds. In the working out OF the
comedy idea, various arguments were
advanced on both sides. 1t Is perhaps
best not to attempt to solve the prob
lem, but to confine this resume to the
observation that the gentlemen re
sponsible for the frivolous subject
did an exceptionally good job.
The chief feature OF the bill ar
ranged for the first two days Of the
current week at the knickerbocker
is "War Brides" a complete review
Of which will be found in connection

Seldom has there been presented
In Washington SO relentIessIy heart
gripping photodrama as the screen
version OF Marion Craig Wentworth's
war Brides" in which Naximeva was
seen for the frst time in the Capital
at Crandalfs Metropolitan Theater
yesterday. Here is q Aim play that
meets every test OF genuine drama
IL epitomizes the protest Of the
women OF the world against the need
less slaughter OF their sons; IL cries
aloud to the God OF Justice to put an
end for all time to the carnage win
which the world was cursed during
the great war and every other savage
conflict of arms. II depicts with vivid
realism the anguish with which war
blights the hearts OF those who re-
main at home and paints In lurid
colors tragedies that are not enacted
on the battlefield. II Is the great
towering, overwhel lining tragedy OF
the films. and In II Nazimova reveals
a quality OF her art that silent drama
has not heretofore evoked.
In "War Brides IL brought to the
silver sheet the dominant. fearless,
almost tigerish Nazimova OF the
Ibsen plays and Bella Donna" There
is nothing OF the ingenue or the
Coincidence in the Wentworth con-
ception OF Joan, who refused to be

Nazimova is sthe very symbol OF

bert Brenon performed one OF the
most skiIIfuI services shadow drama
has evolved. His scenes are not pretty
and his tragedy IL only occasionally
relieved by the lighter touches OF
sentimental romanticism and village
