METROPOLITAN
"OLd SWinlnlir1' Hole. "

A picture that will recall the hap
piest days of ones life will be pre-
scented for the first time in Washing
ton at Crandalrs Metropolitan Thea
ter for the week beginning this after
DON at 3, when Charles Rays own
production in celluloid form of James
Whitcomb Riley's beloved "OId Home"
pc EN-, THE Old Swimmin Hole" in
which he himself plays the role of
Ezra, the typical American youth.
THE Old Swimmin' Hole" will
prove to be one of the novelties OF
the season in that the entire story
set forth in Riley's homely verse has
been told upon the screen without the
aid of a subtitle. The picture unfolds
series of thoroughly amusing in
cidents that befall Ezra, the village
boy who is more attracted to the cool
waters of the old swimmin' hole than
to the hard and tedious benches Of
the district school; more given to
flirting with Myrtle than to observing
the more quiet virtues of Esther:
more given to taking a punch at
skinny" the fat boy, than in
hlandly accepting that rivals deliber-
ate affronts. In short, the narrative
pictured, wordlessly, upon the silver
sheet is one in which each spectator
will see reflected those years of his
own life that are most dear In
memory.
The role OF Ezra, OF course, is
wholly within the range OF Charles
Ray'slmost agreeable talents. He has
only to be himself to make the char
acterization a glimpse Of reality
rather than a study in realism Laura
La Plante, Marjorie Provost, Lincoln
Stedman, James Gordon, and Blanche
Rose appear in the principal support
ing roles The production is one that
brings to the screen a wealth Of
natural beauty.
Foremost among the varied subsid-
larry features will be shown a new
bonneville comedy, THE Skipper Has
His Fling" which in turn will be aug
mented by the new issues of the
Pathe News. Topics OF the Day" and
specially arranged orchestral inter-
probation of the pictured subjects UNI
der the direction OF Mr.. Vioni.

GLEN ECHO PARK

Clean, wholesome entertainment.
enjoyed out in the open, is the at
traction that Glen Echo Park holds
forth and plans have been made to
cater to thousands of pleasure-seek-
,rs again today. Concerts both after
noon and tonight by Minister'S Band
will be feature free to all corners,
and in addition there is the long list
OF amusement devices that this year
have made the resort even more pop
ular than in seasons past.
One of the new features at the park
is the magnificent new carousel
housed in Its specially constructed
home. In it's trappings OF bronze and
gold leaf, its mounts, three abreast,
of various types of animals and the
really good music from it's new Dent
zel type of organ, the carrousel is al
most as interesting to the grown-ups
as to the children.
The coaster dip is another OF the
seasons innovation that is in high
favor. Trains OF three cars speed
over 5000 feet OF track at dizzy
speed. around curves and over steep
dips. giving thrills enough to suit the
most exacting without alarming the
more timid.
A flat charge for the evenings
dancing has replaced the old style of
u nickel a dance, and the clientele
this season is representative of the
best element of the dancing set.

and they employ the same wiles today
in the preparation OF their harmless
deviltry that they did in Riley's day
the adjacent schoolroom was used.
Mr.. Ray had constructed a real
schoolroom and arranged with the
principal OF private Hollywood
school to hold school sessions at the
studio for two weeks. The teacher
conducted the sessions in regular
routine style, and all the while Di-
rector Joseph De Grasse and his as
sstants were watching every move
made by the Riddles from a secure
hiding place When the school session
had ended for the day the kiddies
were then conducted to the movie"
schoolroom, where they were put
through the same kid" tricks for the
cameras benefit as they had pre-
viously naturally performed them.
And because OF their opportunity to
meet Mr.. Ray, all the Riddles firmly
declare that The Old Swimmin' Hole"
is the most wonderful contribution to
American literature ever conceived.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-06-05

One of the outstanding features of
Charles Rays First National attrac-
ton. "The Old Swimmin' Hole" on
the screen beginning today at Gran
daIrs Metropolitan and Knickerbocker
Theaters, are the exterior locations.
1t took several weeks FOR Mr.. Ray
and his entire stan to scout for To-
cations to be used in the perturbation

story was the choice of locale for
the "swimmin' hole" scenes, and the
staff chose one after another location.
only to have Cameraman George Ri
sard discard them. When finally the
artistic eye OF Risard had been salts
fed, Mr.. Ray went to the owner of
one of the oldest Spanish grants in
Southern California to obtain permits
sion to use the shaded pool which
was located within his domain. Tn.
location is one which has been used
for years by Riddles around Culver
City for their summer dips.
But the crafty landlord evidently
recognized Mr.. Ray, and would not
consent to its use for perturbation
until he had obtained the stars sig
nature TO tease ttT one acre of
ground surrounding It for a year
Mr. Ray owps his own home In
Beverly Hills, and thus had not come
up against the profiteering landlord,
so the experience was novel one to
him. But he wanted the location and
wanted IL badly, for it filled his re-
duirements to a dot, even including
the sycamore tree overhanging the
stream.
During the making OF "The Old
Swimmin' Hole" there were installed
two schoolrooms on the big Ray stage
side by side
There Is the mimic school. in which
Charlie and host of boys and girls
go through their humorous antics
which will recall the days OF youth to
everyone. Here Mr.. Ray enacted the
charming scenes which typify the
lines OF the famed James whitcomb
