SHUBERT- T-BELASCO.
Vaudeville.

With Jimmy Hussey headlining in
condensed version of a Winter
Garden production. the Belasco The
ater presents an excellent vaude-
Vile bill this week. The revue
which closes the show is in three
scenes and offers wealth of COM
edy, interspersed with clever dances
and songs.
Hussey is an excellent Hebrew
comedian and caused gales of
laughter with his amusing scenes
which were laid in a "Y" hut, a
hotel and in a police station. Many
new lines have been added since the
revue was last seen here as being
direct from the Winter Garden"
Included in the cast supporting
Hussey are Ethel Davis. Beth Stan,

Stimmel. Buddy Doyle. Leo Burns,
Thomas Foran. Eddie Hickey and
Theodore Zambunis.
Many of the artists appearing in
the revue also have specialties in
the early part of the performance
Ethel Davis was probably the out
standing feature in the early part
of the bill. with her series of songs,
all of which were written in a hu-

SectI u. DeMttie's "FOOPs Paradise
The name of Cecil b. DeMille on
a photorlay production stands for
the same measure of quality and
intrinsic value that the word "Ster-
ling" stands for on silver. and this
was never demonstrated more forci-
bly, than it is in the case. Of Fools
Paradise" Mr.. DeMille's picturiza-
ton of the story of the same name
by Sada Cowan and Beulah Marie
Dix, which was suggested by Leon

and the Lady" This great DeMille
production began the second week
of its Washington engagement at
Loew's Columbia Thcater. and IT is
noteworthy that the brilliant cast
that Mr.. DeMille has brought TO
the Interpretation OF the picture in
cludes such noted stars as Dorothy
Dalton. Conrad Nage!. Mildred Har-
ris. Theodore Kosloff. Julia Fave
and John Davidson.
The "silken" quality of his back

ways hallmarks a Cecil DeMille pro-
duction. has been brilliantly and
thrillingly augmented in Fools

ably dramatic episodes which make
the picture not only one of the
most profoundly stirring and SEN
sational cinema offerings of the
year. but which stand out. of them
selves. as some Of the remarkably
fascinating and beautiful scenes
ever brought to the screen.
Fools Paradise" depicts the
tendency of man to pursue, at
al hazards, his ideal of the beauti-
full. the good and the true. while
ignoring the actual embodiment of
these elements which may lie di-
rectly in his gaze. Conrad Nagel
Is the chief male character Of thu

of a wounded American soldier who
falls in love with a beautiful but
shallow French dancer. and who,
while worshiping the woman he be-

Of an American girl in a Mexican
border town whom he mistakes for
drab and a woman without prin-
