KNICKERBOCkER-
"The Sportsman"

Larry Semon, having about ex-
hausted the possibilities OF this
country in his previous two-reel com
edy productions in THE Sportsman"
his new farce, which was seen for
the first time in Washington yester-
day az secondary feature of a double
bill. made notable by the inclusion
OF "The Offshore Pirate" delightful
new vehicle for Viola Dana.
"The Sportsman" initiates it's action
with Mr.. Semon's earnest efforts to
apprehend playful rabbit which
seems to entertain a distinct objec-
ton to being caught as well as to
being shot. II then concerns itself
with Mr.. Semon's equally futile effort
to bag an ostrich. Finally, in des-
peration, the hapless hunter bends
the barrel Of his gun in such a way
as to insure successful Workmanship p
around corners, through elbows Of
stovepipe or along any other circuit
Gus routes.
No doubt instinctively forewarned
OF impending danger, the ostrich
takes himself away from there and Mr..
Semon shotguns numerous perfora-
tions into the personnel of the stand
ing army OF the Sultan. Then it is
that the real action of the comedy
begins. Action is the word.
Never has there been more OF II
crammed into a camera diversion than
in the closing scenes of this pictur-
esaue absurdity, wherein a marble
pool in the harem, a dungeon with
trap doors, the upper floors of the
palace and a lions den all figure in
the developments that occasion so
profligate a smashing of apparently
valuable ceramics
The new issue Of the Pathe News,
Topics of the Day and special musical
features complete the bill for yes
terday and today, which offers as its
principal feature Viola Dana in "Thc
Onshore Pirate" complete review
of which will be found in connection
with the Metropolitan Theater.

The girl after several vain attempts
to interest him, carries the campaign
into his own territory. and volunteers
as an assistant to the overworked

wins his admiration and he begins TO
fan in love.
His love is turned TO loathing when
he discovers, through a friend who
takes him to the club. the other SIDE
OF Lolas life. She, however, is by
now genuinely in love with him and
filled with remorse and shame for her
mode of living. How she finds regen-
