MOORE'S GARDEN
Paying the Piper,o

The fourth and perhaps greatest
George Fitzmaurice Paramount pic
ture, Paying the Piper" by Ouida
Borgoro, will be the attraction at
Moore's Garden Thsater next week,
beginning tomorrow.
The theme of the picture is based
on the thought that in the mad scram-
BILE for wealth, people are blind to the
finer things of life, and that the
world of possession does not bring
enduring happiness and contentment.
There are numerous thrills in the de-
velopment of this highly interesting
theme, those thrills being enhanced
by the ultra-modern and magnificent
settings with which the picture
abounds.
The story concerns one Barbara
Wyndham, spoiled daughter of a New
York millionaire, product OF the di-
vorce courts, who leads a hectic life
Of wild parties and dissipation in
which she is Joined by Larry Grahame,
another millionaire's son. Barbara
marries Larry In order. as she says.
to be able to get divorce as other
members of her set do.
A Wall street crash leaves the two
penniless, and they are forced to lead
the simple life. How they are re-
generated and learn the value of love,
friendship and other human qualities
make a picture Of universal appeal
Selected subsidiary features, in
cIuding a laughable comedy and an
exclusive showing of the latest Fox
News, together with an appropriate
interpretative orchestral score ar
ranged by Claude v. Burrows. direct
Ing the Garden Orchestra, will com
plete the program.

CRANDALL'S-
@L0ve, Honor and Behave


Departing from its fixed policy Of
presenting several de luxe photoplay
features each week, CrandalPs Thea
ter announces for the full week be-
ginning tomorrow, the first Wash
ington presentation of Mack Sem
netts latest and most laughable five
reel super-comedy, Love, Honor and
Behave" starring the entire roster
Sennett comedians and beauties.
Love, Honor and Behave" affords
one of the keenest burlesques Of the
modern divorce court ever conceiv-
ed. The story takes the form of a
recital by a learned judge of the ex-
early married life. 1t is related to
give pause to a youthful bride and
groom who have appealed to the
Judge to grant them decree almost
within the month of their marriage.
The Judge, 1t seems, was a victim Of
circumstantial evidence. His narra-
tion OF his adventures in and out of
court and Of the manner in which per-
fectly innocent events were made to
appear greatly to his disadvantage
provides the basis for one OF the
fastest and most hilarious film Gomez
dies ever screened.
Love, Honor ana Behave' Is not
n retitled production resurrected from
the Sennett past, but a new First Ma
tional special production which dis
closes the most recent manifestation
of the Sennett genius for comic effect
in a continuation of tho series of
special features OF which "Down On
the Farm" and Married Life" are
earlier examples. The engagement is
for this week only at the regular
scale Of prices.

THINK 'KAzAN" BETTER
THAN FIRST TWO FILMS

1t is prophesied by those who havs
pre-viewed the film that the camera
version of James oliver Curwood's
story OF "Kazan" will surpsss both
his "Nomads of the North" and
"Isobcl" in popular appeal. The two
pictures last named achieved great
successes during their week en-
gagements at Crandalrs Metropoli-
tan Theater, but "Kazan" Is said
to combine all OF the virtues and
none of the faults OF both.

THE KID" BREAKS ALL
MARKS FOR ATTENDANCE

Despite the fact that the same
claim has been made in connection
with the premiere presentations OF
other super features at Crandalps
Metropolitan Theater this year,
Charls Chaplin in "The Kid" this
week has shattered all previous at
tendance records at the Crandan y
street house.
This was made possible by the fact
that the feature was shorter than
Passion" and therefore could play to
a greater number of audiences in a
day than that earlier First National
masterpiece.
"The Kid" undoubtedly could have
run for a month except for the
urgency of other bookings.
