Marshall Netlan's hrrt special pro-
, duction and the greatest picture he
has ever made, at Crandalrs Metro
politan Theatsr nsxt week. In this
startlingly realistic picturisation of
the novel Of the same name by Ran
dali Parrish, Neilan has combined e
greater number Of distinctive fea-
tures than have ever before dts
tinguished . powerful drama Of the
West 1t IL in every senes = super
picture.
To the Interpretation of q story
that 10 OF gripping interest from nrst
flash to last, have been brought q
group of players whose names alone
/ are an earnest of the films perfect
enactment Leading this talented
cast are James Kirkwood in the title
role; Wesley (("Dinty") Barry. in
the greatest part he has over had:
Marjorie Daw. Noah Beery, Pat
O'Malley. Tom Gallery. and q host OF
others Of almost equal ability and
attainment.
The supporting ensemble is nota-
BILE for the inclusion of band Of
1000 fullblooded Indians and the en-
tire r/gimental strength OF the
Tenth United States calvary. The
scenes. which are noteworthy for the
picturesque grandeur of their natural
settings. were filmed in Glacier Ma
tional Park
The story of Bob Hampton Of
Placer" is one Of romance and ad-
venture on the American frontier in
the late 7os. The action abounds
in climaxes and an element Of mys-
terry. too. is deftly woven into a plot
that rivets attention, flashes with
brilliant humor and at times brings
tears by the delicacy and irresisti-
BILE appeal of its pathos.
The great eliminating episode In
the story is supplied by a reproduc-
tion of Clusters last stand at the Lit
tie Big Horn. The stirring quality
OF this portion of the action cannot
be described in words 1t is far
cry indeed from the cheap claptrap
of mediocre melodrama. The repro
duction of the famous massacre Is
dignified by historical accuracy and
a proper place in the development
of M. Parrish's splendid novel.
The bill will be completed by the
usual supplementary features.

| LEADER
"Tillie's Romance"

"Tillie's Punctured Romance" has
been revived and will be shown at
the Leader Theater starting tomor-
row, for one week. 1t is side
splitting comedy. uproariously funny,
Charlie Chaplin is featured. with
Marie Dressler and Mabel Normand
with an all-star cast directed by the
master of comedy directors, Mack
Sonnet.
Charles serious face and queer
antics are perhaps accounted for by
the trials and tribulations through
which his powerful fancee drags the
reluctant spouse. For big grown
up country pumpkin, Tillie moves
with remarkable agility, and makes
everything mighty lively for the
sauirming Charlie. There Is plenty
of action and oodles Of chuckle rip
Piles and hee haws for everyone. It's
impossible to sit through this per-
formsnce and not laugh.

ed, are all outstanding elements OF
one of the most alluring, fascinating
and compelling screen presentments
offered in Washington this season.

beautiful Lois Wilson is seen as the
girl who understands and aids the
ex-convict she loves. Paul Everton
and George MacQuarrie have promi-
pent character roles and Kate Bruce.

Paris has a new fad. OF course
Paris always has new fad of some
kind or other, but this is the very
newest. Short gloves and no
sleeves is fashions latest decree in
Paris, and if that is not a freakish
fad, what is? Milady is very care
full to guard her wrists and hands
these days, but her arms she ex-
poses bravely to the sun and wind.
Here is a typical French outfit.
Black gloves, gauntlet style, are
worn with a sleeveless afternoon
gown. The gloves are trimmed
with bands of white and are attach
ed to long narrow ribbons that
stream from the shoulders in much
the same manner as small kiddies'
mittens are held for safe keeping.
The broad plumed hat is one such
as d'Artagnan himself might have
worn. A slim black walking stick
added to this and the list of I'M
usual accessories is complete and
one may say so this is Paris
