chief feature of program diyersi.
Held with Mack Sennett's latest
comedy riot It's a Boy" as well as
a compelling array of additional
screen and musical attractions.
The featured production. "A City
Sparrow" is a tender romance OF
life's truth and make-believe, back
grounded against the gayety OF
metropolitan night-life and the
eternal peace of woods and fields. II
is the story of a woman's lost birth
right and the happiness that was
forced upon her when her sense OF
duty caused her to forsake the
thing she loved most in life.
Miss Clayton is seen as Milly
West, a cabaret dancer, whom an
accident deprives of the power of
motherhood. By chance, she meets
the man she is destined to love and
who finds in her. his life's ideal
When he bears her away to the
peace of the countrywide and shows
her the way to happiness as his
wife, she sacrifices 1T because she
knows his ardent love for children
cannot be gratified by marrying her
The man, however, was not pre-
pared for the double sacrifice OF
losing her, too, and barely in the
nick of time, he prevents her escape
back into the life from which she
had come.
Miss Clayton is supported by
Clyde Fillmore as leading man and
the cast that Director Sam Wood
has gathered about her includes
William Boyd, Rose Cade and
others.
1t is a charming and heart-warm-
ing romance, this "A City Spar
row.

CrandalPs Metropolitan-Cons
TnlmadRe.

Constance Talmadge in Good Ref
erences" touches the high point of
camera comedy. In this release, pre-
sented for the first time in Wash
ington at Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater yesterday. Miss Talmadge is
afforded ample scope for display OF
gifts that have steadily expanded
since her introduction to picture
lovers in Griffith's Intolerance"
The role of Mary Wayne is one
that probably was made to order for
the brilliant coincidence. In 1t are
combined the buoyant graces of a
resourceful young woman who finds
it necessary to borrow a set of
forged references to secure a secre-
taryship with an elderly social
climber with many millions of dol
lars and an incorrigible nephew. Not
being up in secretarying, Mary
plunges herself and the Juvenile
William Marshall into a variety of
difficulties that are very laughable.
William thinks she displays too
active an interest in Peter Stearns, a
college pal of the junior Marshalrs
masquerading as his valet in order
to acquire an income. Their deser-
ton on his palatial yacht while they

tion than in this enlivsning SUBJ

Clara Kimball Young has never
had role more completely within
the range of her talents than is
afforded by the character OF Zoe
Blundell in Sir Arthur Wing Pine
ro's "Mid-Channel." presented as
chief feature of the bill at Gran
dalis Theater yesterday. 1t was
this character that afforded Ethel
Barrymore the medium of one of
her greatest triumphs on the spoken
stage. To it Miss Young brings a
complete grasp of the intensely
dramatic episodes in the experience
of a woman whose philosophy of
life was not equal to the storms.
'Mid-Channel" has been given a
particularly artistic mounting by
Harry Carson, a producer whose
sense of values is keen. As much
care has been expended in select
ing a supporting cast. In the role
of the husband who couldn't forgive
in his wife the same sins that he
himself had committed, ]. Frank
Glendon contributes a forceful i'm
personation. Edward KimbalI, as
the kindly friend of the family who
seeks to pour oil on the troubled
matrimonial waters, and Bertram
Grassby, as the tame robin" like
wise bring genuine distinction to
their important parts.
Supplementing the major offer
ing is also shown a new comedy,
"Bif, Bang, Boom" which contains
an explosive quality of humor quite
in keeping with the title.
The bill for the first three DAYS
of the week is completed by alb
breviated camera subjects of varied
interest and enjoyable pipe organ
accompaniment.
