Mr.. Sydney Freeman. new concert
master of the symphony orchestra
under the -sonductorship of Sig. Ern-
este Natiello at Crandalls Knicker-
booker Theater, yesterday made his
debut as a solo artist in Washington
and won the unstinted applause of
capacity audiences which were
quick to perceive the artistic quail
ity of Mr.. Freeman's interpretations
and the finish of his technic as a
concert violinist. The favorite Med
itation" from Massenet's That's"
was Mr.. Freeman's opening number,
followed by d'Ambrosio's Cannon
eta" both of which were played
with exquisite feeling and superb
tone.
Among the supplementary fea-
lures of the elaborate holiday pro-
gram arranged for Christmas and
today at the Knickerbocker are the
news issues of the Pathe News ana
Topics of the Day" both of which
seem to have been made especially
interesting in tribute to the Yule-

ALOYSIUS BOOMS
TRACK GAME HERE

The formation of several track
and field squads, their entry in var
ious meets, and their performances
in these contests, during the clos
ing year bears every indication of
having put Washington 'on the race
map to stay.
The great honors. of course,
should go to the Aloysius Club.
which has gone into the running
game to help popularize the sport
here. The club Is sending runners
to almost all of the big races open
to Independents further north and
while the runners are not break
ing any records, they have repeat
eddy finished near the top of the
list.
A year ago Aloysius runners cop
ped the South Atlantic A. A. U.
cross-country championship from
the Baltimore ross-Country Club,
an organization which had held the
title FOR years. As result of the
victory. this years race was staged
in Washington, and the local dis.
lance men had little trouble retain
ing their title.
In the open events at the South
Atlantic indoor gaines at C1tholic
University last spring. the inde-
pendents furnished the collegiate
entries all kinds OF opposition. Two
big Independent outdoor meets
were staged during the summer
and fine performances were noted
AZ both.

CRANDALL'S.
PrisciIla Dean in aConaict. =

IL SOnhhC-s
Priscilla Dean is the pictured star
of the special holiday program ar
ranged for the first three days Of
the current week at Crandall's Thea
ter. in her latest Universal super
production. Conflict" the TENSE sit
ustions of which yesterday centered
the breathless attention OF crowds
of Yuletide amusement seekers.
The story concerns the experience
of a high-spirited young woman
who is the ward of a miserly uncle
who controls the logging industry
of the vast Northwest. He rules
with an iron hand and is saved from
assassination only by the quick wit
and the heroism of his niece. Baf-
fed by the attitude OF her guardian
toward his foreman, she takes it
upon herself to solve the mystery
of the eerie castle in which he lives
and further the fortune of the young
lumberman who has the stamina to
oppose the car of the woods. She
Is successful in both undertakings.
but encounters many exciting ad-
ventures before the uncle Is finally
brought to his senses.
To this striking role. Miss Dean
brings the natural ENDORSEMENTS OF a
young woman in every way fitted to
do justice to the part Her impersona-
ton is marked by that utter disre-
gard Of personal danger and that in
trepid spirit that have distinguished
her earlier vehicles ever since the days
Of her first triumph in THE wildcat
of Paris"
The principal male role is played
with superb effect by Herbert Rawlin-
son, whose good looks. virility and
dramatic ability equip him admirably
to linn a companion picture to Miss
Deans engaging heroine. The produc-
ton is an impressive one and the sup
porting cast judiciously selected.
The bill is completed by abbreviated
camera subjects Of note and tuneful
accompaniment.

Ferguson and Jack Herbert.
The added feature on the bill pre-
sents Mary Astor in The Beggar
Maid" the first of series of pic
lures based on the story conveyed
by certain masterpieces of paint
ing. The Beggar Maid" is taken
from Sir Edward Burne-Jones' in
spired picture of Tennyson's poem.
The result is without doubt one of
the most impressive and worth
while short subjects of the year.
Artistically constructed. perfectly
photographed and happily cast, II
Is a gem among screen offerings.
That it made a decided hit" yes
terdas was noted by the applause
accorded, a most unusual response
for Washington picture audiences.
Another feature of the program
which met with enthusiastic ap-
prevail was the singing of Cad
mans AT Dawning" during the
showing of THE Call of the North
by Miss Gladys Thomas, concert
artistic. Miss Thomas is possessor
of a mezZo-soprano voice of un-
usual range and appealing express
sion. and her rendition of the Sc
lection yesterday proved to be one
of the most delightful musical Of
ferings ever heard at the Rialto.
Subsidiary subjects-including a
laughable multiple-reel Christie
comedy, featuring Bobby Vernon,
entitled Pure and Simple and
an exclusive showing of the Fox
News, together with special orches-
trail numbers arranged by Robert
Bond Gotta, director of the Rialto
symphony Orchestra, complete the
weeks offering.
