woods TsobeI."

That unfortunate calumny to the
effect that a sailor has a sweet
heart in every port" evidently sup
! piled the germinal idea that was
eventually expanded into the laugh
able film comedy, featuring the Van
which was presented yesterday for
the first time in Washington as
foremost of the supplementary fea-
lures of the bill at CrandalI's 5
KnickerbOcker Theater, under the
title OF "Oh, Promise Me" In this
ebullient travesty on marriage as it
pertains to the merchant marine, a
certain Mr.. Jimpson. of New York.
was about to become a more or less
happy bridegroom when seductive
sirens. to whom he had plighted his
troth from Timbuctoo to MRndalay,
began to put in their appearance,
and, in manner, dampen the ardor
that previously had marked the
celebration Of his wedding day. 1t
is, we are led to believe, disConcert-
ing to nervous young gentlemen,
about to assume the devastating
bonds of matrimony. TO be confront
ed by Spanish. French, Swedish,
Chinese, Egyptian and other ladies,
seemingly possessed OF prior claim
upon his affections. However that
may be, the situation is fraught
with comic possibilities as Hal
Roach has proved in this latest Of
his comic efforts.
Other subsidiary features of the
bill, arranged for yesterday and to-
day at the knickerbocker, include a
new issue of the Pathe News which
discloses advance hints of spring
styles, and an amusing budget OF
the Literary Digests Topics of the
Day"
The major feature OF the early
week bill is George Davis film ver-
sion of James oliver Curwood's
story of The Trails End" pre-
sented with House Peters and Jane
Novak in the leading roles under the
new title of 'Isobel." A complete
review of this sterling drama will
be found in connection with the
Metropolitan Theater. where it was
also accorded first Washington pre-
sentations before capacity audi
ences yesterday.

Of Churchills later manner. as well
as the poignant characteristics and
settings that marked those two

IN ne lnSlOe OIL the cup
Churchill has launched a powerful
and telling diatribe against the
hypocrisy that uses the church as
a shield for its own misdoing while
grinding the weaker souls about it
under the heel OF its own lust for
power. There is a strong flavor Of
the Frank Norris narrative in The

Of a rich churchman's greedy grasp

a twentieth century crusader OF the

Powerful in its narrative and

Moore's Gsrden-'The Truant Hus-
band"


The Truant Husband" a Hodkin-
son picture featuring Betty Blythe
Mahlon Hamilton and Francelia

ing at Moore's Garden Theater yes
terday.
This is a thoroughly delightful
comedy from the pen of Albert Pay
tive short subjects, including a
peared in the Cosmopolitan Maga-
zine. More, it is as clean and
wholesome a comedy as seen in a
long time. and presents screen en-
teItainment of a very high and sat-
isfactory order.
The plot concerns one~Billy Sayre,
successful young business man,
who has been happily married for
half a dozen years when a former
sweetheart appears on the scene.
Having married an old man for his
| money and suddenly finding herself
widow. she has a great desire =.
live over again her courtship days
with Billy.
She persuades him to spend a day
with her in revlsiting their old
haunts, chief among which is an inn
"HeTt lney once naQ OellRntTul
tete-a-tetes. All of us know the
utter disillusion which attends this
business OF living over again the
days that were. The Truant Hus-
band" turns this usually dreary
process into a screamingly funny
story.
Betty Blythe in the course Of the
action proves herself a sincere act
ress as well as a beautiful woman,
sacrificing, when need be. her
beauty for the sake OF good comedy.
Mahlon Hamilton is well cast as the
husband and Francelia Ellington is
sweet and good to look upon as the

clever comedy and an exclusive

rendered orchestra score arranged
by Claude V. Burrows, musical di-

of the most original comedians in

Once to Every Woman" is a
moving drama that gloriheS the
commonplace by tracing the ex
periences of a young singer who
leaves her humble American home
to study and triumph upon the op-
cratic stage abroad. During her
quest of fame she is disturbed by
the attentions of those who bring
only the sinister things of life in
their train. Through a series of

nal scenes of the play that Miss
Phillips does her most convincing
work.
Number, Please?" is a typically
wholesome Lloyd farce that moves
at a quick tempo and is productive
of laughs at a rate that defies sue
cessfuI computation. Mildred Da-
Wis and others of Hal Roach's most
gifted funmakers support the star
in this contribution to the joy Of

Loew's PnIsce-May Allison In sThe
Marriage Of William Ashe..

May Allison. the brilliant and
dashlng photoplay beauty, probably
has the most powerfully dramatic
role Of her entire screen career lin
The Marriage OF william Ashe," the
perturbation by Metro of the Mar
garet Mayo stage version of Mrs.
Humphrey Wards famous, novel of
the same name, in which Miss ALI
son appeared as the featured photo
play star at Loew's Palace Theater
yesterday and all this week.
In this production, in which Miss
Allison is supported by wypdham
Standing and an exceptional cast
that includes Zefie Tillbury, Frank
Elliott. Robert Boulder, Lydia Titus
Yeamans and Clarissa Selwynne,
Miss Allison has the role of a con-
vent girl who invades British So
ciety, marries a prominent member
OF the British cabinet and thereby
incurs a social war that not only
nearly ruins her husbands political
career but seriously compromises
herself.
The picture itself is a charming,
magnificently-s replica OF Brit
ish social life. scenarized by Ruth
Ann Baldwin, directed by Edward
Solman and supervised by Baynard
WELLER, the noted playwright. The
atmosphere and backgrounds of the
picture are exceptionally rich and
the narrative is marked by moments
of the keenest tension and most
poignant romance. The Injection OF
strain OF villainy through the ma
chinations OF a smooth radical agi-
tator heightens the dramatic climax
of the picture as this man is re-
sponsible for the compromising po-
sition in which Lady Kitty, the he
roine. fnds herself.
A splendid array of added screen
and musical attractions, including
the latest Sennett comedy, Movie
Fans" the Pathe news pictures, the
Literary Digest's Topical Tips, a
brilliant symphonic overture and
other numbers complete a fas-
cinating program.
