DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
 HAS GREAT ROLE IN
 THREE MUSKETEERS

Douglas Fairbanks vlsualizes on the screen that prince of heroes D'Artagnan. He has the swagger, the indomitable courage, the love of adventure and the keen zest for com bat which are the salient characteris- tics of the central figure in Dumas immortal romance, "The Three Mus keteers."
 There never was a better story for photoplay purposes and the Fair banks picture is replete with the stir ring scenes which Dumas put into his book with the vigor and realism of one of the greatest story tellers who ever lived to delight generations by his art.
 The Jefferson theatre last night, at the opening presentation of this pie ture, was filled by the largest crowd which has been drawn to that play house by a photoplay since the days of "The Birth of Nation which gave evidence of Fairbanks popular ity and the appeal exerted by a mo- tion picture masterpiece acclaimed by the critics as marking the climax of his career.
 Mir. Fairbanks plays D'Artagnan with the gusto of a true Gascon, with an abundance of humor and yet with a fine realization of the romantic pos
 
 ing is superb. He gave to everyone in the Jefferson familitr with Dumas novel a graphic portrayal of the doughty cavalier who goes to Paris to seek his fortune and has an amaz- ing series of adventures in and out of the court of King Louis XIII. D'Artagnan and his three cronies, Porthos. Athos and Aramis, the crafty Richelieu, Louis. Anne of Austria, Constance and host of other charac- ters created by Dumas figure in the photoplay, which brings to the screen all the romance of the book The ! fighting has the fire and dash of real battle. MT. Fairbanks and numerous other actors reveal a swordsmanshir never seen on the stage. They fight as if they meant it, and there are thrills galore.
 "The Three Musketeers" will be al |, the Jefferson theatre all this week with the usual matinees. It is a fine ! piece of photography and a striking il- 1 lustration of the motion pictures dra- l matic power.

Every now and then we get to see a picture that combines real good na- ture with drama that is intense, that Is Exit the Vamp," Ethel Clayton's s newest picture now at the strand. This is one of the very diverting kind of comedy dramas that people can never see too often, one that deals with human life in humorous way that is made more entertaining by very truthfulness.
 Exit the yamp" deals with the very sensitive subject of the 'vamp' as has possibly already been surmised by the curious public. Now the real surprising thing is not that the story deals with a vamp, but that it deals with her exit, and as vamps have un-
