"Cold STEEL

Lovers Of musical comedy will re-
call Kathleen Clifford as one of the
most charming young stars who ever
graced the footlights. Miss Clifford,
her art more finished and mature,
appears with J. P. McGowan in the
Robertson Cole special photoplay
production, Cold Steel" which yes
terday began a three-day showing
as chief feature OF the bill at Gran
dalrs Theater before capacity audi
ences.
Miss Clifford's role in Gold
Steel" provides for her just the
sort Of part that she Is best
equipped to play. that of a girl in
ured to the hardships of the des-
ert country near the Rio Grande
who lived n life of adventure
among the soldiers of fortune. cat
tlemen. miners and the rest OF the
types that flourish near the border.
Mr.. MCGOWAN. as Steele Wier, the
young engineer entrusted with the
construction OF dam in the
Southwest because he was the only
man with the iron nerve to put the
Job through. is cast with equally
good judgment.
The story has its locale in a
small town in New Mexico and is
replete with dramatic situations
through which runs a refreshing
love story. The supporting cast is
a long one and includes the names 9
OF many who have achieved dis
tinct individual successes in stcl-
lar roles. The production compares
favorably with the best that have
been seen in the Capital and the
photography adds materially to the
natural beauty of many exceptional
exterior scenes.
A companion feature for the first
three days of the week is offered
patrons OF Crandall's in The Rent
Collector" an hilarious two-rcel
comedy in which Larry Semon exc
cutes some Of the most remarkable
gymnastic comedy feats he has ever
brought to the screen. The early
week bill is completed by abbre-
Waited camera subjects and tuneful

Rube is still something Of a
ball player. thoagh he has long
since dropped out Of the majors.
For the past ten or twelve years
he has been q regular boarder at
81. EItsabeth's Hospital.
In the game between the Con-
-ress Heights Yanss and the
Naval Air station teams yester-
day, an elderly fellow was sta
toned at second base for the
Yanks. He took care of every-
thing that came h.s way, and
cracked out three hits In feur
times at bat. All in NIL. he had

The veteran was none other
than the famous Rube himself.
He gets leave Of absence now
and then TO play baseball. Next
time he dons n suit he expects
to do q little pitching.

won the game by q seors Of 90

PALACE.
Ethel Clayton in .weaith."

Splendidly directed, brilliantly
acted and glowing with color, and
vitality, wealth." the latest star
ring production for Miss Ethel
Clayton, was presented at Loew's
Palace Theater for the hrst time In
Washington yesterday afternoon,
where II was seen by enthusiastic
audiences and where II will continue
as the featured Offering throughout
the week. In Wealth" Miss Clay
ton contributes another brilliant
Characterization to her long list Of
successes and much Of her personal
triumph 10 undoubtedly due to her
splendid supporting cast. which Is
headed by Herbert Rawlinson. The
story is by Cosmo Hamilton.
Author Hamilton has revealed iE
wealth" a dramatic study Of the
stultifying effects of wealth on hu-
manity in particular. More espe-
cially does he reveal the banctul
effects of a man and tho girl he
loves living In practical bondage to
q woman who supplies their every
financial want but who. through her
distaste for the girl, exacts wholly
frightfui toll of happiness from
their union. The only remedy. the
picture reveals, is a complete aban-
donment Of such a parasitic exist
ence and a bold bid for liberty and
happiness on the basis Of ones own
achievements.
Miss Clayton. as might be ex
pected of her. brings a wistful
pathos but a pronounced force to
the role OF a young girl of artistic
tendencies who interests rich
idler and who. loving him. agrees
to become his wife. From the out
set their married life Is a success
sion OF discords due to the inter-
ference OF a wealthy mother-in-law
who climaxes her series Of yengeful
interferences by an act that results
in the death Of their first child
This is the final blow and culmi-
mates in their complete separation
from the ease Of another's wealth
but which brings a full share OF
happiness in their own attain
ments.
The picture glows with an at
mosphere Of Greenwich Village
Gayety and well-to-do luxury amid
the social set OF Manhattan and its
backgrounds are especially sump-
tuous in their appointments. The
story throughout affords Miss Clay
ton an exceptional opportunity to
display her talents. and Mr.. Raw
linson. heading the supporting cast.

tion.
