CrandaITS Metropolitan - Charles
Ray.


Sol Smith Russells play, Peace
full Valley" in which Charles Ray
features, appeared for the first time
in Washington as star OF the bill
at CrAndalTs Metropolitan Theater
yesterday. This sterling drama by
Edward E. Kidder has lost none Of
its familiar charm in the process OF
translation to the silver sheet. 1t
has gained in breadth Of treatment
The story unfolded during the ac-
ton Of Peaceful Valley" concerns
a sort of transparent urban villRiny
that was not content with stealing
the homestead of the Howes, but
attempted also to steal the little
daughter Of the househld, only to
be defeated in each project by the
quick wit and hard muscles of
Hosiah Howe. watchful guardian OF
his devoted mother and sister. The
early intervals Of the picture are de-
voted to incidents that are produc-
tive Of a vein OF delightful comedy
that threads the entire narrative.
When Hosiah seeks his little sister
in the city, pathos becomes the
dominant note and in the final
scenes when the little family is res
cued from its difficulties and Mar
tina is restored, unharmed. to her
place in the home. melodrama in
subdued form may be said to come
TO the fore.
In the role of Hosiah Howe,
Charles Ray offers by far the most
appealing characterization he has
brought tn the screen in many
months. His decision to revive the
foremost of the late Sol Smith Rus
sell successes has proved itself to
be one OF the happiest he ever
reached. In supporting roles OF i'm

Mosre,s Garde,.--..sIa.. !.

"S13," the Robertson-Cole special
production which started four
day run at Moore's Garden Theater
yesterday, is without a doubt a
most thrilling mystery picture.
Adapted from Maurice Leblanc's ia
mour Arsene Lupin story, 1913" Is
very good material for the screen,
and gives Wedgwood NOVEL;, who
Is featured the splendid opportunity
OF creating on the silver sheet the
most fascinating ngure in fiction.
1t is an ideal role for Mr.. NOVEL;.
He looks and acts the part of Ar.
sene to perfection. He makes this
master crook living creature whose
daring adventures and, escapades
supply many tense moments.
Arsene Lupin Is a gentlemanly, at
tractive type of crook. who robs,
but never kills. In 1913" a wealthy
man Is found dead, and Lupin is
accused of the murder. He cleverly
aids the police in tracking the real
murderer, at the same time manag-
ing to keep out of their clutches.
He is here, there and everywhere.
Trying to keep UP with his mad
career keeps one interested every
minute.
1t is impossible to figure out a
solution for the mystery until the
very last reel. And then a real
honest to- goodness thrill is expe-
rienced when the murderer is dis
covered.
All in all. 1913" is. as stated, an
excellent mystery drama, and much
credit Is due the perfectly selected
cast for the manner in which they
portray the manv important roles.
Headed by the star, it consists of
Kathryn Adams, the beautiful lead
ing lady; wallace Beery. screen viii

Thornton Edwards, Vera steadmsn.
Colin Kenny, william V. Mong and

Perfection in atmosphere and de-
tail. no small matter when it is
remembered that the entire locale
of the story is in France, are fea-
tures of the production.
Appropriate short subjects include
laughable multiple-reel comedy
and an exclusive showing of the
latest Fox News, together with a
special orchestration arranged by
Claude v. Burrows. complete a
worthwhile presentation.

lurking place of romantic and mys-

days Nominally crook play,
Tod Browning has woven into his
picture a wealth of human action
and emotion against the warp of an
intense Oriental devotion to an
ideal.
In Outside the Law Miss Dean
has the part she was born for-that
of Silky MoI Madden, sweet, wise
and unsentimental.

teachings sway all who know him.
Wheeler Oakman is a dapper gen
tleman crook" Ralph Lewis is per-
feet as the reformed criminal and
father of "Moll." Melbourne Mac
Dowell. Wilton Taylor and Stanley
Goethals complete the cast.
The picture is one of the most
realistic portrayals of underworld
life and gangster activities ever
seen on the screen. Browning. who
wrote the story himself, unfolds the
chronicle, of silky Moll" Madden,
darling of the underworld, with a
master hand. The story is built
around the revenging acts of Black
Mike, enraged because Molly and her
father have needed the teachings of
Chang Lo and have gone straight.
How he first frames" Madden and
then tries to trap his daughter,
Molly. and how he is bested in his
fiendish plottings is told in thrilling
climaxes.
The picture is not without its hu

Stanley Goethals, a newcomer to the
screen, whose chubby arms and win

place. silence on the matter seemed
the height Of folly.
Accepting It as q fact that the
so-called reactionary element put
Mr.. Parker forward, II seemed the
proper thing to agree with Mr..
Bryan, and take the chance of
alternating New York and the other
so-called conservative delegations.
1t did not seem to me a very great
risk. 1t was obvious, inasmuch as
the issue was small and the conven-
ton would be a hard-fought one.

surrendered his duties as temporary

Fixes Wilson's Stand.

The atmosphere OF Baltimore
could be summed up In these
words: What shall we do with
Bryan and what Is Bryan going to
do with us?"
On the night of June % the
Wilson floor committee met and
discussed the question OF whether
Mr.. Wilson should make a reply
and, II 30, what 1t should be. 1t
was apparent that the whole cam
paign Of Governor Wilson was
progressive. The men who sup
ported him were progressive. He
must stand or fall on that issue.
While there was no personal OBJ
lection to Judge Parker, we de-
termined that, whatever Mr..
Bryan's motives were, and however
unfortunate the position was in
which he placed the convention,
an answer. in the first place, was

Ultimatum on Wilson.

On June "a. Bryan arrived in Bal.
timore. He was received with great
acclaim. His personal popularity
was at once apparent. He was
called on by delegates to the conven-
ton. 1t was obvious that there was
a grim determination on the part of
the Eastern and Southern States to
prevent his nomination In any event.
To me that sounded like security.
The conclusion was obvious, that at
some time during the convention the
delegates might feel themselves com.
PEELED to accept Wilson instead of
Bryan.
AS one Pennsylvania delegate said
in conversation with a New York
delegate:
you'll take Wilson or wen Jam
Bryan down your throatv'
When asked about the temporary

ment was becoming unpopular.

Strategy Succeeds.

As q matter Of fact, the election
Of Judge Parker was eminently
satisfactory to us. We enjoyed the
selection Of Judge Parker In every
respect. The. temporary chair
manship Of the National Conven-
ton is not a popsition Of very tire
mendous power. We knew that
Judge Parker would be eminently
fair, and that we would make great
inroads into the good graces Of the
supporters Of Bryan and the So
called progressive supporters of
Clark.
The suspicion was rife that Judge
Parker was elected by combination
against the interest of Mr.. Wilson.

nature rather than bitter partisan

apace.

The charge was made that tire
Clark votes were purchased by
promise Of support. 1t went out
through the country. This was
most unfortunate for Mr.. Clark, be-
cause many of his delegates were
not tied up for many ballots under
instruction.
Bryan was furious. Senator
James said he would not accept
tho nomination for temporary
chairman from the convention, as
he was for Clark first, last. and
all the time. This was construed
as an indication of a Clark alliance
with the anti-Bryan leaders.
