the story of the Stevenson classic
faithfully in its details and thus has
not only produced a picture that is
packed with red-blooded adventure.
bat which is rich in the spirit and
lore OF the pirate days. He catches
tne's interest at the very start of
the showing Of his vivid depletion
Of the fight at Benbow Tavern
From there the scenes move swiftly
to the acquisition of the treasure
chart by young Jim Hawkins. his
hiding away on the vessel as a
stowaway. the mutiny, fight with
the pirates and final success OF the
search for the hidden gold.
Shirley Mason has the role of Jim
Hawkins and makes a most charm
ing youth indeed. Lon CLANCY is
Merry and Pew. Charles Ogle gives
an excellent portrayal Of Long John
Silver. and others of the cast also
enter into the story with sympathy
and spirit. Making all in all a pro-
duction that is- weil worth the at
tention of everybody. whether they
be a regular screen fan or not. At
the same time Treasure Island"
confirms Maurice Tourneurs right to
be called master at producing
great sea stories on the screen. He
has given this impression before
and has certainly added to his lau-
rels in the current presentation.
AS may always be expected.
Claude V. Burrows, conductor of the
Garden orchestra has supplied an
interpretative orchestration to ac-
company the showing that follows
the theme of the story perfectly and
greatly enhances the thorough en-
joyment of the bill. Short subjects
including the news weekly. an ex-
Cellent comedy and a Photograph
close the showing.

Gayety-.Bowery Burle.quer..-

An excellent example OF the ad-
vance made in modern burlesque en-
tertainment is seen in The Bowery
Burlesquers," this weeks attraction
at the Gayety Theater. which made
its bow 20 Capital theatergoers at
yesterdays matinee. The offering is
entitled "Going Up and Coming
Down." a ten-scene vehicle written
by Loney Haskell.
Its subject-aviation- the
chief comedians, Billy Foster and
Frank Harcourt, an unusual field of
merriment as two inexperienced
aviators obsessed with the idea that
they can make a round-the-w world
flight in record time and win a huge
prize. Able support is given by
Marty Semon. Kitty Glasco. Dolly
Sweet. Mallon & We'll. Libby Hart,
Russell X. Hill, besides a chorus OF
unusual charm.

starring Elaine Hammerstein, util-
izing the dual role theme and the
mistaken identity" opportunities
that it affords, offers satisfactory
entertainment in its picturized
form. The interest builds with ac-
cumulative power from the outset
and rises to its height in a particu-
larly well contrived climax Sc
quence, in which the melodramatic
effect of the situation is increased
by some clever lighting and detail
work. 1t began a four-day run at
Loew's Columbia yesterday.
Elaine Hammerstein appears as
twin sisters, Rosalie Byrnes, a con-
cert singer. and The Flame" a no
torious character in city night life.
At YIN. c. A. hut Rosalie meets
Gerald Cromwell, a lieutenant, about
to sail for France. In the short
time they are together. a great love
grows and the day Gerald sails they
are married. In France, he sends a
picture of Rosalie to his sister and
her fisnce, Stone.
In the meantime. "'The Flame"
has become involved in an ugly
scandal. In need of money, she goes
to Rosalie's apartment, but finds
her out. While there she is ap-
preached by Stone, who offers her
large sum to give Gerald up. Sens
ing the cause OF the proposition,
she consents. Stone writes to
Gerald. enclosing The Flames"
confession that she, does not love
him. AS Rosalie's name has been
forged to II. he loses faith in her.
OF course. when he returns. the
happy ending is brought about. Tho
strongest part. of the picture is the
sequence in which Rosalie goes to
remove her sisters gloves from the
room wherein she believes she has
committed murder. Here the scenes
are deftly handled and there is some
very effective lighting that adds
considerably to the suspense.
Miss Hammerstein fares very we'll
In the dual role and receives COM
smendable support from Edwin
Langford as Gerald, and from AL
fred Hickman. as Stone.
The bill at the Columbia includes,
as usual. an interesting array of
short-length cinema subjects and a
musical score of great beauty which
conspire with the feature to make
that theater one OF the bright-spots
on the weeks amusement calendar.
Moore's Garden-sTreasure Island"
Maurice Tourneur has succeeded
admirably in putting Robert Louis

CrnndaIrs MetropoIitan-S'The Hear
of a-Child.-

Crnndalrs MetrOpOIitan-''The Heart
of a-Child.,
Never has the extraordinary range
of Nine. Nazimova's pantomimic art
been so convincingly revealed upon
the screen as in her latest super
production, The Heart of a Child"
which yesterday was shown for the
first time in Washington at Gran
dall's Metropolitan Theater.
The early scenes Of the picture
concern the drab girlhood of Sally
Shape. a child of drunken parents
in the Limehouse tenement district
of London. Through the interest of
Lord Kidderminster. Sally, upon the
death of her mother as a direct re-
suit of her fathers brutality. is
given a place as a model in a fash
ionable modistes. Here she at
tracts the attention of London's
foremost producer of stage revues
and becomes a star of his greatest
production by virtue of ability as a
dancer picked up to the tunes of
alley hurdy- -gurdys. Thenceforth
the action of the play depicts in
what manner Lord Kiddie wooed and
wed a blossoming young woman
who, despite the sordidness of her
youthful environment. possesses the
heart of a child" and the inherent
sense of goodness that spells char
acter.
The development of the character
of Sally Shape is accomplished with
that evenness and freedom from eX-
ltravagances of portrayal that be-
speaks genuine art. In the role Of
Lord Kidderminster. Charles Bryant
offers a study that takes rank with
his best contributions to the cellu-
loids. Others who do excellent work
in the stars support are Claire Du
Brey. Victor Potel, John Stepping
and Joseph Kilgour.
Varied supplementary offerings
are included in the exceptional bill.
Snub Pollard presents a ridiculous
burlesque of exclusive society activi-
ties under the title of "All Dressed
Up" an especially beautiful scenic
reel is afforded in North Winds
Masonry" and the bill is completed
by a new issue of the International
News, topics of the day and a de-
lightful orchestral score.

Glen Echo Park.

Attendance figures at Glen Echo
Park on Saturday took a bound
that kept pace with the up-shoot of
the thermometer, and at night and
again yesterday things were going
in midseason form in Washington's s
only amusement park. For the Sat
urday night crowds everything was
running full blast. and the park
fans saw to it that all the ticket
takers earned their money that
night at least. for a steady stream
poured through the gates of the diff
ferent fun devices. AS usual the
new water ridge had an edge in
popularity. it having the added
charm of novelty. but the older
rides, whip. gravity, derby and
others. all had their full share Of
attention.
Yesterday the free band concerts
drew the lions share of attention.
but between them the thousands of
Sunday diversion-seekers gave the
amusement devices a run for their
money. Everything was going eN-
cept the dance pavilion. which is
closed Sundays.

CrandaIrs-apown On The Farm"

CrandalPs-"Down On The Farm.
All the bucolic activities that
combine to form the daily task OF
the professional agriculturist have
been utilized as a basis Of comedy
by Mack Sennett in his latest hye-
reel pastoral parody. Down On The
Farm" which began a four-day
engagement at Crandalfs Theater
yesterday before packed houses.
Unlike a majority OF the camera
absurdities at which lovers of silent
drama laugh, Down On The Farm"
unreels a genuine plot. having to
do laughably with a mortgage. a
village storekeeper. a beautiful
daughter. a farm drudge, a filnty
hearted landlord and a rustic lover.
Assisting these essential characters
in the enactment of a laundering
hurlesque on the usual genre melo-
drama are flocks of ducks. chickens.
geese, pigs and other familiar barn
yard types, TO say nothing of Ted
dy." the greatest Great Dane on the
screen; Pepper" the .perspicacious
cat and little John Henry, jr.. the
most precocious youngster that ever
pcered into the lens of a camera.
The more mature players who lend
distinction to this exceptional prod
uct of the Sennett studio include
Ben Turpin. who looks crooked. Ma
rie Provost. one of the famous beau
tiles of beaches. Louise Fazenda, n
coincidence of note, and a host of
others famous for buffoonery of one
sort or another.
The action is fast and the fun is
furious throughout the length of
the film. The production is in every
sense suggestive of the actualities
of life where the day begins at sun
up and ends when the work is done
at dark; the photography of the
customary Sennett excellence.
As an extra added comic attrac-
tion yesterday. Mutt and JEFF ca
vorted through the antics of a funny
cartoon comedy. Other abbreviated
subjects added to the pleasure of a
laughing bill that was completed by
excellent musical features and skill
fully synchronized accompaniment.
