formances OF "Richard ILL.," was ex-
pressed last night. There was no re
ported Improvement in Mr.. Barry
more's condition. His manager
Arthur Hopkins. gave no indication
OF when performances At the Plymouth

illness first became noticeable during
his performances in '"The Jest"
While engaged in "The Jest. and

"The Virgin Of Stamboul,"
Eoafurinu Priscilla Dean.

After seeing 'sTbe Virgin Of Stam-
boul," which opened q weeks engage
ment at Moore's Rialto Theater yes
terday one finds II necessary to sound
It's praises in no uncertain terms.
Priscilla Dean, who first flashed on
the film horison In Washington at the
RiaIto with "The wildcat of Paris
and Immediately established dis
tinct personality on the screen, which
was followed by other important
productions, but who has been miss
ing from the silver sheet for almost
a year, reappears as the star OF this
picturesque story Of the East and
proves clear title to being classed as
one of the foremost players in the
silent drama. In the role of the lit
tie beggar on the streets OF Stamboul'
untamed and unafraid, knowing moth
ing of right or wrong, but with nat
ural instincts that preserve her un-
defiled amid the filth and squalor OF
her surroundings, Miss Dean gives
Characterization that must be classed
as a masterpiece. Untversal-Jewel
has certainly supplied her with ve-
hicle worthy Of her superb artistry.
Ted Browning, who Is credited with
the direction of the picture. has Ger
tainly secured some remarkable ef-
fects. No truer depletion of the ORR
ent has been seen on washington
screens heretofore. Its customs and
traditions, mixed with the modernity
of Western influence, form pic
turesque background for the thrill
ingIy dramatic action of the story un-
folded. The Arabian desert, too,
seems to have been transferred to the
anima ted, film for some of the stir
ring scenes.
In addition to the usual short sub
jects such as the World Current
Events and the Topical Digest,
two-reel Somedyart subject entitled
Uneasy Feet" caused much merri-
ment.

Clara Kimball Young in

A Parisian romance that accurate

duction that establishes new stand

parably cast all are to be found In
the Equity super-feature, THE For

ball Young was pictured at Gran

yesterday upon the inauguration Of
a three-day engagement.
The story deals with the expert
ences Of an idol of the French stage,
who comes to America to elude the
Objectionable notoriety attached to a
suicide with which her name was in
judiciously connected. In America she
falls in love with the brother of the
woman whose husband had caused
her temporary desertion of the French
stage. The complications in her love
affair in this country are obvious.

GARDEN.
"Why Change Your Wife,"
Featuring Gloria Swanson.


Cecil B. DeMille's why Change
Your, Wife" opened q weeks engage
ment at Moore's. Garden Theater yes-
terday.
In this great Paramount-Artcraft
superproduction, the vital theme Of
martial infelicity and the causes that
lead thereto are splendidly portrayed.
Mr.. DeMille has risen to great heights
in his depletion of the wife, who In
her overwhelming love for her hus-
band tires him to the degree that he
finds solace in the companionship of a
pretty divorcee. The wife who for
gets to make a playmate Of her hus-
band. and who has changed remark
ably since their marriage ten years
previously, obtains a divorce and he
marries the other woman. 1t then
develops that his second wife grows
to be the very opposite to what she
was when he married her, and trou-
BILE ensues.
Meanwhile the first wife, beautiful
and charming and extravagant-all
that she had not been in her marital
life-meets her rueful husband and
wins back his love. Both have
learned the salutary lesson that a
wife to be a wife must be her hus-
bands playmate as we'll as his mar
ried mate, IL they hope to be happy.
And SO the future looms up for both
with the promise of ultimate happi-
ness, but not before some very thrill
ing action and peppy dialogue has
taken place between Wife No. / and
Wife No. ..
Thomas Meighan, who will be re-
membered for his delightful portrayal
in "The Miracle Man." and Gloria
Swanson, who was leading woman
opposite Mr.. Meighan in male and
Female" have the leading roles.

THE CAST.

Take Charlotte Greenwood and Rob-
ert Higgins away and there would be
little left In "Linger Longer Lefty"
The play and the players, however.
are but little, for everyone went to
see Charlotte. and the elongated
comedienne rollicked and buffoned
through three acts to the satisfac-
tion OF all present. She was, how
ever, forced to share all her honors
with Robert Higgins, a comedian OF
parts.
When these two were on the stage
things went at a pace that was brisk
and enjoyable. Their exits left things
nat. Quite the best thing In the play
was Charlotte's travesty on those
back-to-nature" dances that have
attained popularity among the high
brow element OF today. The lengthy
lady stepped over everything within
reach with as little difficulty as a
two-year- would step over q vio-
let.
The play concerns one Lefty. whose
culinary and home-making accom-
plishments have led the family to
ers can sew. cook, or do anything
except go into society.
All the male friends and relatives
OF the family who went into the
army were officers, when along
comes Jim, who is just a plain COB.
plain of face and manner. He loves
Nancy. and Lefty loves Jim's brother
Walter. So the two forlorn. home
ly personages decide to furnish up
newly. and they proceed to buy
oceans of scenery. with the result
that the ugly ducklings become
swans OF sartorial culture. Then
either can marry anyone they please.
but wind up by wedding each other.
Higgins humor Is of the quiet kind.
