An unusual story full of spec
tacular scenes. elaborate sets ana
dramatic action was presented for
the first time on the screen at
CrandaIrs Theater yesterday. when
The Inner Chamber" starring
Alice Joyce, inaugurated a three
day run as the foremost feature Of
the bill of photoplays. The narra-
tive upon which the spirited action
Is based was derived from CHARLES
Caldwell Dobie's widely-read novel,
The Blood Red Dawn" 1t is one
of those colorful tales that is bound
to win public favor and one which
by reason of its magnitude and the
character of its cast is classed as
a special vitagraph production.
Never has Miss Joyce appeared to
better advantage than in the role
of Claire Robson. the girl who ac-
quired a large number OF enemies
by refusing to dine with her en-
ployer while his wife was absent
from town. and WHO was driven
from one position to another by
these same enemies until she finally
was forced to seek employment as
singer in a chep cabaret, where
she encountered real romance for
the first time. Pedro de Cordoba.
one of the most polished actors on
the American stage. is cast in the
role opposite the star and brings
to II all of the poise ana interpre-
tative power born OF his long ex-
perience. Others of note who have
important places in the cast are
Mrs. De Wolf Hopper. Ida Water
man and Holmes z. Herbert.
As an extra added comedy at
traction is shown Mack Sennett's
new two-reel farce, Hard Knocks
and Love Taps" in which all of the
famous Sennett comedians ana
beauties appear. Abbreviated cam
era subjects of diversified interest
and unusual excellent pipe organ
accompaniment complete the bill.

@The Affairs Of Anatol.-

"The Affairs of Anatol" Is here!
Bursting on the photoplay horizon
at Loew's Columbia Theater yester-
day afternoon. photoplay enthusiasts
Of Washington crowded that play
house to capacity at practically all
performances yesterday to see it and
the verdict was the same that one
has come to expect Of this mighty
ali-star production-the years most
marvellous offering!
In giving the screen his photo
play version of Arthur Schnitzler 5
famous romantic stage interlude,
Cecil B. DeMile has not only at
tanned a new height of photoplay
artistry. but he has carved out for
himself a name among the direc-
foral immortals that shall not be
dimmed for many generations. 1t is
a marvellous, beautiful. enhancing
spectacle, profound in its force and
insinuating in its theme
To begin with, the production has
been interpreted by the greatest
cast of recognized photoplay stars
ever seen in Washington. The cast
includes Wallace Reid. Gloria Swan
son, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Daniels,
Wanda Hawley. Monte Blue. Agnes
Ayres and Raymond Hatton, as we'll
as a powerful array of well-known
but lesser screen histrionic lights.
1t was personally produced by Cecil
B. DeMille from the scenario by
Jeanne MACPHERSON, who has made
the screen adaptation from Arthur
Schnitzler's original play of the
same name, with suggestions from
Granville Barker's paraphrase of the
same production.
The story, which clearly repre-
sents the highest artistic produc-
tion level yet reached by DeMille.
represents a trio of episodes in the
life Of q young social idler, married
himself, but susceptible to the lure
of beautiful womanhood in distress.
Slightly bored by too much honey
in his honeymoon, he meets first
Emile Dixon, a companion Of his
school days, who is won away from

hope that she can be reformed. Be-
fore that reformation is complete
however, Anatol. the young idler
finds a more romantic affair with

treasurer.
