Douglas Fairbanks I'm "The Three
Musketeers.o

Pictures come and pictures go.
but Douglas Fairbanks appears to
be going on forever at Loew's Co.
lumbia Theater, where the dynamic
screen comedian yesterday after
noon began the third consecutive
week of his brilliant and almost
unparalleled Washington engage
ment in his mighty and irresistible
cinema version of Alexander Du-
mas great classic of romance and
adventure. THE Three Musketeers."
The opening of the third week at
the Columbia yesterday was again
marked by the same capacity audi
ences that have marked the produc-
ton since its inception two weeks
ago.
In The Three Musketeers" Mr..
Fairbanks has achieved the ambi-
ton of his entire lifetime-to play
D'Artagnan in Dumas vivid and
enthralling classic. He has not
only conceived and executed his
camera version on a stupendous
and gorgeous scale but he has in
corporated into 1t some of the most
hair-raising and battling of feats.
watching Douglas Fairbanks in
this production, one feels at one
with the critic who said that Du-
mas must have known Of Fairbanks
when he wrote The Three Mus
keteers."
Marguerite De La Motto has the
role of leading woman opposite the
star but prominent parts are also
taken by Mary MacLaren, Nigel
Brulier and many others. The mas
siVe and picturesque outdoor set
tings. In which Mr.. Fairbanks has
duplicated the architecture and the
civic atmosphere of Paris in D'Ar-
tagnan's time, are easily among the
hnest ever brought to the silver
sheet and outrival even the mag
nlhcent exteriors that found SO
classic an example in the recent
screen production of Deception"
The Three Musketeers" deals
with D'Artagnan, the young Gas
con from the South of France, who
enters France with nothing but his
sword and who, by his daring
courage and skill with his weapon
becomes the talk of the empire, ~.

CRANDALL'S.
Jack Holt and star Cast In
sThe Mask

The screen version of Arthur
Hornblow's story Of. The Mask
yesterday was presented for the
first time in the Capital as chief
feature of the bill at Crandall's
Theater, with Jack Holt, Hedda
Nova, Fred Malatesta and little
Mickey Moore the principal mem
bers of an unusually strong cast.
Teeming with fast action and pre.
senting an ingenious plot that
abounds in sensational climaxes and
astonishing surprises, The Mask"
stands as one of the most absorb
ing camera achievements of the
season.
Thee story concerns the adventurous
of a young San Francisco business
man who leaves his wife and child
to consummate an important trans
alton in the South African diamond
fields. While he is on the ground
huge diamond is taken from his
mine and he makes an adyanta-
geous sale. On the return trip fire.
quent unsuccessful attempts are
made to rob him of the precious
gem.
Upon one such occasion he is
rescued by twin brother whom he
has not seen in years This scape-
grace twin later allies himself with
the Diotter who seeks the stone and,
beating his brother home, almost
skaters his home ties by imperson-
ating her husband to, the waiting
wife.
Jack Holt, one of the most pnnu-
lar figures in silent drama, plays
both brothers and makes the dual
lmpersonation one Of striking con-
trasts and much forcefuIness. Hedda
Nova and Mickey Moore, lend the
picture strong heart interest, and
Fred Malatesta strengthens his
reputation as one of the screens
most crafty villains. The added
comedy feature of the bill is Ninety
Days or Life"

the plump Hughie Clark and Harry

though the two characters are in

Each Of these fair ladies possesses

the show over in fine style.
