H. B. Warner in
Haunting Shadows"

In 1.-THE House OF a Thousand Can
dies" Meredith Nicholson chronicled
the adventures of as young man who
was compelled by the terms OF an &C.
centric will to live uninterruptedly
for one year in house that seemed
to be worse than haunted. In photo
dramatic form. THE House OF n
Thousand Candles" was presented for
the first time in Washington at Gran
dalrs Theater yesterday under the
title of Haunting Shadows with
II. b. Warner pictured in the lead
ing role.
A more happy choice than Mr..
Warner for the leading role of the
junior Glenarm could not have been
made. A master of this particular
form of drama the actor who made
sensational success of Alias jim
my Valentine" is at his best in the
role of the beneficiary OF the will
who finds himself beset by all man
ner of odd apparitions the first night
of his attempt to fulfill the terms OF
the strange document. The support
ing cast is one of exceptional ability
and the production on a parity with
| the best of the year.

Elaine Hammerstein in
"Creatcr Than Fame"

Her Private Husband" wasn't as
private as he might have been. In
fact, there was manifested upon the
part of the diminutive restaurant
keeper, impersonated by Chester
Conklin to the huge delight OF capac-
ity audiences at Crandall's Knicker-
booker Theater yesterday, a distinct
inclination to wander far from his
own Preside In search OF feminine
companionship OF a sort other tina n
that afforded him by shrewish wife.
The laughablc episodes that accom-
panied his tour OF n fashionable
home. a wide cSpanse OF unroofed
