METROPOLITAN
Chorus Girls Romance"

"The Chorus Girls Romance in
which Viola Dana was screened Tor
the first time in Washington at Gran
dalrs Metropolitan Theater yester-
day, Is one of those rare comedy
dramas that combine lively humor,
real human nature and the charm OF
pure romance in such measures as TO
Captivate any audience.
Percy Heath, who adapted +. Scott
Fitzgerald's Saturday Evening Post
story. Head and Shoulders" TO Miss
Dana's screen requirements, knows
college life and he knows the life of
the stage and so was able to embel-
lish the tale of the shimmy dancer
who married an intellectual phenome-
non with all OF the little characters
tic touches needed to create ana
maintain the atmosphere of ebul-
Hence that surrounds collegiate ano
early musical comedy days.
The humor of a story that outlines
the manner in which the shimmy
dancer became popular authoress
while her highbrow husband achieved
fame as an acrobat suggests itself
upon even the briefest resume of plot
IL is narrative that is varied in
tempo, rich in novel twists, and as
salutary as any that ever found its
way to the silver sheet.
Miss Dana. in the role OF Marcia
Meadows OF the "Frivolities" chorus
offers by far the most diverting and
most skillfully drawn characterize
ton of her series of excellent define
atoms under the Metro banner. Incl
dentally, she proves herself as com
pletely a master of toe dancing as OF
the more undulatory forms of terpsi
chorean art which principally involve
the shoulders.

Mack, Marie Mosquini, Pickaninny
Sammy and other funmakers OF note,
creates new typhoons of laughter as
the central figure in farcicsl absurd
itv that bears the seductive title OF
Money to Burn" Other additions
to the cinematographic portions OF
the entertainment are the new issue
of the Pathe news, showing. among
ether things, the recent visit of the
stage celebrities to Senator harding
front porch; the witty Topics OF the
Day. and an especially enjoyable issue
of the Pathe review in natural colors.
Another feature is the musical ac-
commandment arranged by Mr.. Nioni
and the superb rendition OF Suppe S

RED TAPE SPO|LS
, VISITS TO EUROPE
ueW Countries Enmeshed In
Bureau Systems Make
Travel a Hardship.

PARIS, Aug. s0.-Psssport restric-
tions are causing increasing annoy
Ancs to Americans travelling In
Europe.
Before the war only six countries
had TO be passed through to go from
Paris to Constsntinople - France,
Italy. Austria Hungary, Serbia, Bull
saria. and Turkey. Now seven from
tiers have TO be crossed by one route
and eight by another.
Tho traveller having business In
warsaw must take the precaution
before he leaves the United States TO
have his passport made good for
France. 6witIerland. Germany, Aus
tria, C.echo- -SIovakia and Poland.
and when no reaches Paris he must
secure not only the wise OF all these
countries but must also procure the
consent Of tho allied high military
command. for tho train crosses Upper
Silssia, which is q plebiscite area and
occupied by allied troops.
A visit to Germany Is simplest by
way of Belgium or Holland. but a
tourist can enter Germany direct
from France. provided he first gets
permission to visit the Rhine occu-
pied area and then has his permit
stamped and his passport approved
by the French, British, or American
military command there.
Going back. the same precautions
must be followed minutely, or obsta-
cles Will spring up throughout the
journey. Travellers in Switzerland,
for Instance, must not only get the
Swiss and French wise in Paris before
leaving. but must also get both vises
again in Switzerland before return
ing. Otherwise they will be held up
on the border and turned back.
Red tape is worse on the borders OF
the newly created countries, which
are trying to outdo one another in
passport "frightfulness." No fewer
than seven bureaus must be visited
before a traveller can get out of
Hungary.
Travellers are free to go to Russia
at their own risk, but before start
ing they must get vises from the
French police. the Allied military

ly hides them away on the scottish
coast, to which place comes once each
year a man named Cassalis, VINO was
once at Northmour's mercy in duel
and who accepted Northmour's condi-
ton that Cassalis return there each
wear so that Northmour could claim
his shot when the occasion seemed
ripe.
Cassalis and the bankers daughter
fall in love instantly, but beseiged by
agents of the Carbonari. the secret
society, they join forces with North

selves. The banker is eventually
