Moore's Garden-.Os With the
Dance"

Clean and clear-cut as Michael
Norton's play on which Ouida Ber-
gere has based her scenario, this
film entered its third consecutive
week at Moore's Garden Theater
yesterday with a capacity audience
in attendance.
1t is a vivid, virile drama of met
ropolitan life. the throbbing pulse
never befoIe been exposed on the
screen. and in this particular the
picture is different from anything
We have had presented to US pre-
viously. IL presents a striking char
acter delineation, not of a person
or group OF persons. but OF a city.
Dealing with people from every walk
OF life. the producer has endeavored
to show the real personality of New
York-a grim arbiter that makes
and unmakes human beings accord
ing to their worth. purifying all
! that is gold. destroying all that is
dross."
Against such background a
most dramatic love story has been
worked out. a story of the adven-
lures of little Russian girl, sud-
denly left an orphan amid the lux
ury of New York's smart set. her
encounters with men If all charac-
ters, her marriage In order 10 OBJ
tain a life of ease, her disappoint-
ment and final redemption through
sacrifice.
The story serves as one of the best,

ray. the erstwhile dancer of the Fol-
lies and now a screen player of more
than ordinary ability and charm, has
ever had. She is perfect in the part
of Sonia, the Russian girl. David
Powell. who is co-starred with Miss
Murray. is as usual the same suave.
affable. finished artist we expect to
see whenever his name appears in
cast. Lavish and gorgeous scenes

CrandalI's Metropolitan -" "The
Forbidden Woman"

A photoplay bill that fulfills the
highest office of the motion picture
is on view at Crandall's Metropoli-
tan Theater this week. Seldom has
so exquisite a quality of artistry
been carried throughout the length
OF so skilfully balanced a program.
The chief feature ia '-The Forbid
den Woman" in which the title
role is taken by Clara kimball
Young. radiant in character COM
pleteS within the range of her ex-
|traordinary talents. The story Is
from the novel by Lenore ]. Coffee
and concerns the love affairs of
n beautiful Partisan artist who is
grossly misjudged by reason of the
moral delinQuencies of some OF her
more ardent admirers. The dramatic
clash is resultant from the genuine
love that eventually springs up be-
tween Diane Sorel and a young
American whose sister is the widow
Of a roue whose suicide is unjustly
attributed to DANES influence in his
life. The narrative Is one that pro-
crosses in a logical and orderly
manner to a charming denouement.
The cast includes, in addition to
Miss Young, Conway Tearle, Win
ter Hall. Kathryn Adams and a
host of players of equal note.
The scenic inyestiture with which
this picture is embellished estab-
fishes a new standard of pictorial
elegance. The indoor settings are in
no way inferior in point of artistic
effect to the entrancingly beautiful
natural backgrounds upon which
the pivotal scenes of the drama are
filmed.
Supplementing this achievement
in cinematography are a series of
noteworthy features OF shorter
length. Foremost among these is
Prizma's superb natural color study,
Memories" an idyllic perturbation
of Whittier's poem. In School
Days" that affords a masterpiece
of delightful fancy. Combining, with
a glimpse of the slow action analy-
sis of motion. other studies of in
terest recorded in natures .colors,
the newest issue of the Pathe Re-
view comedies with the remainder
of the bill. The current events per-
nit the spectator to traverse the
globe, and the pithy topics of the
day add a touch of humor to the
program, The only essentially COM
ic portion of the entertainment is
found in the antics of Mutt and Jeff
in their new animated cartoon COM
edy, The Pawnbrokers."

others. The interior settings. are in
good taste and some double ex-
posure photography is especially re-
markable.
The second half of the bill is de-
voted to repeat showing of Charlie
Chaplin's original production for the
First National Exhibitors, "A Dogs
Life" This subject was originally
presented to Washington by Mr..
Moore about the middle of the war
period.
"A Dogs Life" Is considered to be
one of the best and most laugh
provoking comedies Charlie Chaplin
has ever made and after seeing the
picture il is evident that the star
extended himself to the utmost de-
gree of his ability and has produced
thereby a swift moving vehicle,
filled with rapid-fire comedy situa-
tions, with added touches of pathos,
creating in the end wholesome and
human story.
