GAYETY.
aTHe Girls De Looks. {,

The sudden change of yesterdays
weather from a seemingly rainy
day to one of sunshine affected
burlesque patrons who usually at
tend the opening matinee of the
Gayety. But the weather didn't af-
feet the members of the Girls de
Looks company that is holding
down the stage at the Ninth street
theater as the curren attraction.
The show has a plot, more or less,
that involves a package of valuable
bonds. the disappearance and the
hunt to recover them. Jack Watson
and Will Cohan are responsible for
the comedy Watson very much re-
sembles Abe Ksbibble, of cartoon
fame. and although he doesn't use
any hideous makeup for laughs, he
keeps his auditors laughing all the
time. Cohan, however. resorts to the
use of the makeup of the old time
Hebrew comedian. His makeup is
mussy appearing from the front and
undoubtedly he could still be able, to
succeed as a laugh producer IL he
discarded the crepe. George Stone,
Juvenile, is one of the smoothest
da1cing artists that we've seen for
a long time. Fred Green. Fred
Evans and Jack Thomas do various
things in the course of the show
that liven things up a bit. Naomi

The production is well dressed as

COLUMBIA.
~LyinE Lips"

Preceded by one of the most brill
liant seven-day engagements in the
history of the Columbia Theater as
a cinema playhouse, Lying Lips"
Thomas H. Ince's vivid and
astounding drama Of life and love,
in which House Peters and Flor
ence vidor have the roles of chief
prominence, began the second con-
secutive week of its Washing
ton engagement at that theater.
throughout the afternoon and
evening attendance continually
taxed the capacity of the theater
and the Columbia management be-
lieves the public has fully vindi-
Gated the judgment that dictated
another week of this production.
Lying Lips Is the story of an
English girl-aristocrat, betrothed to
q man twice her age though Of
great wealth. She makes a visit
to Canada, where she meets and
falls in love with a young colonial,
whose love leads him to follow her
back to England. Shipwrecked in
mid-Atlantic and cast together on
a bit of wreckage without hope of
rescue. the man and the girl enter
into a self-performed marriage pact
which the girl repudiates when she
Is rescued.
The man, whom she believes has
secreted himself on the wreckage.
Is apparently killed when the res
cue ship destroys the derelict. The
girl returns to England and makes
plans 10 go ahead with her mar
riage. but like an image from the
dead, she suddenly discovers that
the Canadian Us still alive, and Is
watching her plans for the coming
wedding. h
Then ensues period OF intense
mental conflict IN the mind of the
woman who is torn between her
love for the penniless colonial to
whom she has surrendered. and, on
the other hand. her belief in the
necessity of wealth An order to live
happily. She Is brought to the very
foot of the altar before conviction
comes to her that she isl another
mans wife, and without hesitation.
she repudiates her bethrothed and
fees to the man she loves.
Director Ince has given the story
the most luxurious and sumptuous
settings and the picture is particu.
Ilariy notable for such scenes as the
wreck of great liner at sea,
gprgeoussscene Of metropolitan rev.
elry, one Of the most sumptuous So
ciety weddings ever filmed, and
other scenes that make II one OF
the years sc>een sensations. A fine
array of added musical and screen

''The Inner Voice.,
The Inner Voice." which has as
its distinguished co-stars L. X. Lin
coin and Agnes Ayres and which
yesterday was presented for the
first three days of the current week
at Crandalls Theater, offers a dra-
matte study of man who gave un-
selfishly the best that was in hin.
to the world and in return was
overwhelmed with treachery, un-
faithfulness and disgrace, With his
soul embittered against his fellow
men, he Struggled upward out of
depths resolved to face the, world
again and demand restitution.
Figuratively speaking, the canvas
upon which the picture has been
painted extends from the rugged
and picturesque mining regions of
the Far West, across the American
continent to the towering sky
scrapers of Wall Street.
Mr.. Lincoln and Miss Ayres, two
Of the most popular and most COM
petent screen stars now before the
public, contribute exceptionally well
limned character studies and are
admirably supported by a large and
able cast led by Fuller Mellish and
William Riley Hatch.
The scenic beauties that add a
touch of natural grandeur to the
outdoor views in the West and the
splendidly executed settings that
characterize the interior scenes add
appreciably to the artistic effective
ness of 9 picture that will be recog-
nized as one of the fine accomplish
ments of the current season.
"A Rare Bird" a new and highly
amusing Mutt and JEFF animated
cartoon comedy, and other we'll

MOORE'S GARDEN.
.The Untamed Wew,u-

Dreamy Hawaiian music, native
songs and dances, and popular sole
numbers staged in a setting of un-
usual loveliness showing the beach
at waikiki, form an elaborate mu-
sical prologue which cresfes an ap-
propriate tropical atmosphere for
the showing of Elmer j. McGoyern's
beautiful South Sea Island photo
play Tho Woman Untamed" which
opened a weeks enlargement at
Moore's Garden Theater yesterday.
The picture relates the story of
a white girl cast alone upon an
isolated island in the South Seas
among the canibals and savages and
how she obtained a mastery over
them through the strange influence
OF her dances.
The prologue in which Signe Pat
erson, a dainty artist, the Royal
Hawaiian Quartet of native ukulele
players, singers and dancers; Flor
ence Armstrong, lyric soprano and
Marie Taylor, contralto. all appear
in person. is really the hit Of the
bill.
1.-the and rhythmical, Miss Pater-
son discloses a series Of dances, all
done with the fierce intensity in
which they had their origin. whirl-
ing in hectic revolutions or sweep
ing in graceful swells to the mel
odies from drowsy guitars Is the
very embodiment Of all that is
beautiful in her art and one can
readily understand why her EXPOSE
ton of Hawaiian dances became
the rage in New York society.
Special mention is likewise due
the Royal Quartet. appearing in
her support. their rendition of Ha-
waiian airs and dances bringing
forth repeated encores and their re-
tirement being made only under
protest. =
The vocal selections of Florence
Armstrong. and Marie Taylor were
also well received. both having ex-
eellent well-trained voices and be-
ing particularly happy in their
choice, offselectons rendered.
Wassili Lepps, who wrote the
original score for the production,
led the orchestra In person last
night.
The usual short subjects includ-
ing comedy. scenic and news events

1t speaks volumes for the. enter
tatnmeHt power Of cld-time min
strelsy when in these days of JoI-
son, Cantor and such. a veteran
team of black face artists, asso-
ciated for forty-six years in stage
partnership, can step out and amuse
with the best. Such is Mcintyre
and Heath.
The revised Hello, Alexander" is
running more smoothly and with
considerable more speed than when
it was first offered for the edifica-
tion of Capital playgoers about two
years ago. The minstrels have sur
rounded themselves with a capable
group of vaudeville performers who
NIL in satisfactorily when the stars
are not wooing laughter with their
character comedy and there is
generous chorus which reveals the
art of the dancing masters at con-
venient moments.
All the modern trimmings are off,
set. however. by the familiar but
none the less enjoyable Ethiopian
dialogue of James Mcintyre and
Thomas X. Heath. Mcintyre is the
happy-go-lucky Georgia minstrel OF
old. still susceptible to the bland
ishments and soft tongue of the
prosperous looking Henry" and
ever mindful of the inner mans call.
The runners-up for laugh honors
are Homer Dickinson and Grace
DEACON, a standard act of the two
a day. who interpolate their spe-
cialty for a solid applause hit.
Mabel Elaine, a wizard in the art
of shimmy and a nimble stopper be-
sides, shone best in a Company
which includes more than the aver
age of good dancers. Earl Rickard
offered an impersonation of Al Jol-
son, which for voice and manner
isms was startlingly like the origi-
nal. though II lacks the physical
manifestations of the Winter Gar
den star. Billie Kersands reveals
talents as a mimic and the ever
young Dan Quinlan made a grace
full and competent interlocutor for
the minstrel finale of the first act.
The harmohzing of Lillian Rose
dale and Vivian Holt Is still the
outstanding feature of the vocal
numbers. These we'll trained voices
blend beautifully and a program
which includes some old time IA
vorites display their quality to per-
fection. Dorothy Moore and Doris
Wayne lead other popular numbers
Those who like old time min
strelsy will thoroughly enjoy Hello
Alexander" and there lis enough of
the Broadway atmosphere and jazz
to make It thoroughly up to date
for others.
