CRANDALL'S-
The Great Adventure. +"

Having recently been seen on the
local screen in roles of serious pur-
pose, with heavy demands on his dra-
week is pictured as star of the bill at
Crandalfs Theater in a delightfully."-
droll comedy. As Priam Farn, in
camera version of Arnold BENEFITS
successful comedy. The Great Adven-
ture." q stage version of his novel,
Buried Alive" the oldest OF the Bar
rymores offers an impersonation that
stamps him as a comedian of unusual
resourcefulness, with a keen sense Of
humorous effect
The Great Adventure" relates the
story Of famous artist who. through
a carefully plotted confusion of ideu-
titles. was believed to have died. For
sufficient reasons he permitted the
hoax to continue, even going so far
as to attend his own funeral--sn
event of immense solemnity and pomp
In Westminster Abbey-from which
he was elected for unseemly conduct.
This astounding experience over, he
betook himself to an obscure quarter
OF London, where he settled down into
a life that was in striking contrast
to that which he had lived in his pro-
pria persona. But finally the urge to
paint led him to essay n few simple
canyases, which were so remarkably
good and so in the style of the late
lamented, that they led to his ex-
posure and an especially interesting
denouement.
Mr.. Barrymore is perfectly cast in
the role of the artist and is skiiifuily
supported by a roster of distinguish ed
players that includes. among others,
Octavia Broske, Doris Rankin. Jed
Prouty, r. ]. Radcliffe, Thomas Brai-
don and Arthur Rankin.
The chief attraction for the week is
amusingly augmented by a new Toop-
erville comedy, The Skipper Has His
Fling" one OF the most laugh able re-
leases in the series OF distinctive
comedies derived from F'ontaine Fox's
inimitabIe cartoons. The program Is
rounded out by abbreviated camera
subjects and excellent pipe-organ ac-
com pa animept.

COlORED MAN ON TRIAL
FOR LIFE A SECOND TIME

William Lsney, colored. today faced
n jury in Criminal Court, No. 1. for
the second time on a charge of mur-
der in the first degree in connection
with the killing. on the night of July
81, 1919, during the riots. OF Kenneth
CralL a white boy. During the first
trial Chief Justice Mccoy withdrew
a juror and declared a mistrial be-
cause of the publication of alleged
facts detrimental to Laney before
they had been presented at the trial
in evidence.
No particular motive is assis ned for
the killing. The District Attorneys
office had the white body exhumed
recently in order that revolver and
ammunition experts might have a
chance to study the wound and also
the caliber OF the bullet, which the
Government claims came from the ac-
cused's revolver. Assistant District
Attorney James, ]. O'Leary represents
the Government, and Attorneys

splendid production. an adaptation Of
Dom Byrne's magazine story OF tho

"The Woman God Changed is o

Despairing Of rescue, they plight

that the demands OF the law must be

with which the charms OF said beau

Following the frequent criticism
by women's clubs and the more or
less insistent demand that the
beauties all over the country disport
themselves in more clothes, comes
the announcement that Washington
win enlist the services of the de-

is to acquaint the public with what
is being worn this summer,

the show what they must wear. 1t is
sufficient to say that the suits must

Just where the arm pits are is

The Tidal Basin bathing beach has
been subject to some criticism. II Is
true, but in the main the beauties

time rather than to show off.
POTOMAC PARK FEATURES.
Potomac Park is getting to be the
greatest playground in the world. The
athletic fields, golf. rowing and bath
ing facilities are proving OF great
value to the public and the beach
itself is proving a great boon TO
those unable to. get out of town Tor
an extended time.
The style show has been sanctioned
by Col c. o. Sberrill. 1t is expected
that the many firms entering the
show will combine beauty with mod

real reason for showing the public

There will be no attempt on the
