CrandalI's knickerbocker--A
joyce in .The Prev

Mr.. Snub Pollard, having exhaust
ed the comic possibilities of a ma
jority of the vocations and avoca-
tons in which a wide-awake young
American may with impunity pur-
sue, yesterday assumed the sticky
and splashy occupation of a bill
poster in Live and Learn" as the
secondary feature of the delightful
bill of photoplays arranged for the
first two days of the current week
at Crandalrs Knickerbocker Thea
ter. Live and Learn is real
comedy-funny without being sug-
gestive; swift in action without
being slapstick and replete with vi
Vacious beauties without being in
any degree risque.
Another feature of the program
that held unbroken interest was the
new issue of the Pathe News. in
which were revealed a quick sue
cession of the most important
events of the week -culled from the
news of the world. other abbrevi-
ated camera subjects and an cspe-
cially effective orchestra score
rounded out an impressive bill.
The foremost feature on view at
Crandall's Knickerbocker yesterday
and today is THE Prey" a gripping
society drama of today devised by
Joseph lie Brandt as a starring We
hicle for Alice Joyce. Miss Joyce
does the most skillful character
drawing of her career in this sub
ject, in which admirable support is
contributed by l.. Rogers Lytton,
Jack Mclean and Harry Bentham
and complete review of which
will be found in connection with the
Metropolitan, where this impressive
drama also was accorded first
Washington presentations yester-
day.

CrandaII's-Norma TaImadge In
ssThe New Moon.-

A fine Norma Talmadge picture
was presented at Crandall's Thea
ter yesterday and will remain
through Tuesday. 'The New Moon"
during its turbulent action, affords
its star opportunities for emotional
expression that have been denied
her in many of her camera plays.
1t is a vivid picture of an outra-
geous condition existing in Russia
at the present time.
Miss Talmadge depicts the emo
tions experienced by a, princess OF
the crown who is reduced to the
penury of the peasantry. Her work
is superb, but scarcely more to be
commended than the portraitures
contributed to the ensemble by
Pedro de Cordoba. Marc MacDer-
mott, Stuart Holmes and others OF
the stellar cast.

Crnndalfs Metropolitan-AIic Joyce
in 'Thc Prey"

The Prey" a present-day drama
by. Joseph LIE Brandt, which was
shown for the first time in Wash
ington at Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater before capacity audiences
yesterday, affords Alice Joyce the
most appealing role she has had
upon the screen in recent months.
The action of the play shows big
business. intrigue and romance,
which combine to form a dramatic
story.
Snub Pollard in a ridiculous COM
cdy bearing the title of Live and
Learn" supplied an offset to the
more serious drama.
The Prey" is a drama that moves
directly to a tremendous climax af

The opera had been given here at least twice before but never perhaps was the death scene at once so heart breaking and so free from the sensationalism of the moment. or the appalling tragedy of the playwrght's art. Poor Mimi" dies there in the artists garret, cared for tenderly by a few only, but by those true friends, and especially by her faithful lover, with genuine hu- man affection.
 Summing up, Antonio Scotti appeared in only one character, and he acted 1t to perfection and sang with the per lection of style of other days. He took the part of Chim Fang, in "I1Oracolo," an opium den keeper in San Francisco. It is full of subtle in- terest and is interpreted only as a master can interpret such curious moods of the mind.
 It is a noteworthy fact that not withstanding the high prices only words of praise were heard in the vestibule of the Jefferson theatre, in the hotels and in the clubs.
 Nobody had anything to say against the scale of g. for the best seats
 The Scotti opera was brought here by the Music Study Club. It was guar anteed, but no guarantor will be called upon dor a dollar The society will have about $1,000 to put in the treas ury. MT.
