Ruth Budd Proves
Self Real Wonder

MANY, distinguished psychologists
and physicians have from time
to time occupied themselves with the
vexed question of the relative eff
cheney, physical and mental, of men
and women. The result of all these
deliberations to date has tended very
strongly to break down the age-old
view that man is essentially woman's
superior, for the intellectual ability
Of women has been demonstrated in
many fields, and however reluctant
ly they may do so, men have been
forced to admit that women are no
less brave than men and are able
to undergo tests Of endurance much
better.
Dancing and swimming are pre-
eminently exercises in which wom-
en-, as a rule, surpass men; and ex-
perts who have given the problem
a good deal of study have fallen
back on the assumption that men,
at least, excel women in activities
which require strength in the arms.
Now comes Miss Ruth Budd. 1.-The
girl with the SMILE" the dainty
aerialist, who appears this week
at B. F. Keith's, to make them think
again. It is seldom that an aerial.
list, or in fact any sight act"-an
act which makes its principal up.
peal only to the eye Of the vaude-
vile goer-is featured, but Miss
Budd's really marvellous feats have
brought her into the class Of fea-
tured acts. She Is probably the fore
most aerialist Of the country, and
very probably two other women are
foremost in their own particular
fields Of physical prowess-May
Wirth as an equestrian. and Dainty
Marie as a gymnast.
The work of an aerialist naturally
requires exceptional muscular pow
err in the arms, and Miss Budd,
therefore. Is one example, and a
very conspicuous one, that tends to
show that women can beat men
even at their own game. She re-
turns to vaudeville this season after
having attained the enthusiastic ad-
miration of New York for her work
In the Zeigfeld Midnight Frolic."

LOEW'S PALACE
Double Comedy Bill

7 OEW'S PALACE THEATER
will present this week one Of the
most alluring and captivating double
comedy bills that the Washington
screen has afforded since the sea-
son began. The beautiful Viola
Dana will be seen In a new Metro
screen production, THE Match
Breaker" while Buster Keaton, the
comedian inimitable. will be seen in
his latest concoction Of nerriment,
THE Goat"
THE Match Breaker" offers quail
ties Of romantic suspense and theme
strength that are distinctly rare and
unusual. It reveals Miss Dana In
the role Of a young woman who,
contrary to the rule. has a penchant
for breaking. rather than making,
matrimonial matches. Having won
the affections Of the sweethearts OF
most Of her friends. the girl of the
story. Jane, Is faced with an ulti-
matum from her aunt to stop all
her foolishness and settle down.
Having proved rather good at
match breaking in an amateur fash
ion, Jane decides to carve out a
career for herself by becoming a
professional match breaker, and the
first advertisement she inserts
brings flying to her young broker
who is badly worried over his ia
theirs attentions to a dashing
widow.
Having agreed to break off IA
theirs infatuation for the widow,
Jane proceeds to doublecross both
father and son by accepting a COM
mission from the former to break
off his sons match with the fasci-
mating Jane herself.
Professional match making. how
ever, has its drawbacks, Jane finds.
and in the effort to prevent the
dashing widow from matchmaking
dad, Jane discovers that she has no
desire whatever to break off her
own match with the young broker.
That Is merely the theme Of an
exceptionally fetching screen tale
which has been directed by Dallas
M. Fitzgerald, who has surrounded
Miss Dana with a supporting cast
Of players that includes Jack Perrin,
Edward Jobson, Julia Calhoun,
wedgwood NOVEL;, Kate Toneray,
Leonore Lynard, Fred Kelsey, Ar
thur Millette and many others.
Buster Keaton, who will share the
comedy honors Of the program with
Miss Dana, is no stranger to Pal
ace patrons. His variety and type
Of humor is absolutely unique, and
in a remarkably short time Buster
Keaton has risen to the forefront
as a comedian Of national fame.
In 1.-THE Goat" he finds a rare
opportunity to display his particular
type of humor and as IL that were
not sufficient, the management of
the Pals1e has surrounded the two
featured offerings with a brilliant
array OF added screen and musical
attractions,

story of THE Great Moment" for

rugged country Of the West, Miss
Swanson is admirably supported by
Milton Stills, one of the most capa-
BILE and one of the most popular

Shannon Was With

HARRY T. SHANNON, comedian

at the Gayety this week, has not been
in burlesque for any great length Of
time. Prior to his entry into this
field of the theatrical game he playel
character parts with pusical COM
edy shows.
In common with a great many peo-
pie. he had the idea that burlesque
shows were something that only men
attended; but, he asserts, that iru-
preston has been changed. He
quoted an experience he had when
lady Of his acquaintance was con.
WINGED Of the fact that this type of
entertainment appealed to both men
and women.
The show was playing in the town
where this lady lived and Mr.. Shan
non invited her to the performance.
She was rather doubtful about tn.
wisdom Of accepting the invitation,
but eventually promised to be there.
Mr.. Shannon says that from the
stage he noticed her expression and
at first It was skeptical and seemed
to indicate that she was surprised,
but as the performance proceeded 1,

concerns Rosemond, who energies

nouGLAs FAIRBANKS, cas-

nary engagement at Loew's Co.
lumbia Theater this afternoon
in what is unquestionably his
greatest production, "The Three
"a Musketeers," based on the IA
nous fighting classic by Alex
andre Dumas. This is the long
heralded million-dollar produc-
ton that eclipses in every par
ticular any previous Douglas
Fairbanks picture ever brought
to the silver sheet.
In 1.-THE Three Musketeers." Fair
banks finally essays the role ne
has longed for to play ever since
beginning his screen career. Screen
lovers will recall him in produc-
ton of somewhat similar nature.
"a Modern Musketeer," based on
the now famous story, "D'Artagnan
Of Kansas" but in his new produc-
ton, 1.-THE Three Musketeers." Fair
banks has actually brought to the
silver sheet a photoplay version Of
the original Dumas tale that has
thrilled the world for generations.
The adaptation, costuming and re-
search on this wondrous produc-
ton was entrusted to Edward
Knobloch, the noted playwright,
while the direction Is that 90 Fred
Niblo. Fairbanks has spared no
expense to make this his mightiest
and most thrilling screen endeavor,
and to that end he has gathered
about himself a cast that includes
Marguerite De La Motto, Adolphe
Menjou, Mary MacLaren, Barbara
La Mari. George Seigmann. Sydney
Franklin and many other screen
notables.
In THE Three Musketeers" Fair
banks assumes the immortal role of
D'Artagnan, the son of an impov-
erished nobleman whose fighting
blood makes him the talk of Paris
and all France. Coming upon the
scene at a time when the crafty
Richelieu is trying to estrange the
King and Queen Of France and
make his own power with the King
absolute, DArtagnan Is brought to
the Queens attention by a little
seamstress that he loves.
The Queen has given a diamond
buckle to her lover, the Duke Of
Buckingham, who has taken 1t to
England. The Cardinal Richelieu,
learning Of her indiscretion, whis-
pers to the King to command her
to wear 1t at a certain state affair
in the near future. 1t is to D'Artag-
nan that the Queen entrusts a mis-
sion she believes hopeless.
The manner in which he fights
his way through the spies Of the
cardinal. finds Buckingham and re-
turns TO France with the bauble in
time to prevent the Queens dis
grace. winning thereby even the
srudging admiration Of the cardinal.
makes one Of the powerful. sensa.
tional and breathlessly romantic
stories ever brought to the screen.

Dickens and rhackeraY.

Gilbert X. Chcstcrton, who is a great
admirer of Dickens, has this to say of
him:
"Now, the interesting thing is this !:
That Dickens, whom so many cuusid-
cred to be a vulgar enthusiast, saw
the coming change in our society much
more soberly and scientifically than
did his better educated and more pre-
tentious contemporaries. There
Is no trace in Thackeray Of the slight
est consciousness that progress could
ever change its direction. There is in
Dickens. The whole of "lIard Times"
is the expression of just such a realizus
tion. 1t is not true to say that Dick
ems was Socialist, but it is not ab-
surd to say so. And it would be simply
absurd to say it of any Of the great
individualist nOvelists Of the Victorian
time. He felt the society changing;
and Thackeray never did Now,
for this reason Dickens must definitely
be considered in the light Of the
changes which his soul fOresaw.
Thackeray has become classical; but
Dickens has done more; he has re-
mained modern"
