An excellent vaudeville bill which

Miss Story has a pleasing soprano

Cecil b. DeMilIe's .saturday
Nikht.o

Cecil B. DeMille's place in the
ranks Of screen directors has long
been unchallenged, not only because
OF his marvellous fair for produc-
tfon beauty, opulence of investiture
and his use of the most brilliant
photoplay casts obtainable, but also
and chiefly because Of the fact that
peMille, in al Ibis screen produc-
ton efforts, invariably attempts to
point his story with some search
ing dfsquisition on modern life and
morals. In all these points, Cecil
X DeMflle excels. but in "Satur-
day Might his latest production,
which began an extended engage
ment at Loew's Columbia yester-
day afternoon. DeMille has COM
pletely gone beyond his own envi-
able record and given the screen a
picture that is probably the most
remarkable of his career.
saturday Night" is the story
that DeMille has chosen to drive
home the dramatic statement that
the ,aristocratS and the piebian do
not mate to the. best advantage
and that their widest divergence
of taste Is manifested on Saturday
night when each party to the con-
tract attempts to seek diversion
after the manner of his and ffer
kind. To the Interpretation Of his
story Mr.. DeMille.. has brought q
truly remarkable cast Of screen
players which includes Leatrice

CAPITOL.
.Grswn Up Bahies.-

The second week Of Jack Garri-
sons burIesque plan brought about
the appearance Of A Singers
"Grown-Up BabfeS," the Babies to
Jemain at the Capitol throughout
the week.
At the beginning we'll say that
the show hits mark seldom
reached by any production that
has played at the Pennsylvania
Avenue theater. The show is trim-
full of comedy. the principals are
a poppy lot and the chorus ex-
tends every possible effort to make
the show enjoyable. Bob Nugent,
in his tramp comedy role, and
Nanny Besser, a Hebrew purveyor
Of comedy-and. incidentally. minus
the usual crepe Tnake-up-provide
an unusual amount of laughs. The
comedy is clean all through and
the song numbers were. so popular
with Capitolites yesterday that
several encores were required.
Assisting Besser and .Nugent are
Arthur Stern, Eugene lie Blanc,
Mae Howard. Harry Howe. Amy
Sterns, Laura Burby and Alma
Hensell., Several specialties were
given by the above I artists and
each one found favor with the
auditors. ..
This show was a surprise to us
for we expected to find a rather
mediocre affair. which proved to
be = exceptionally good. Several
new faces were evident in Garri-
sons permanent chorus" and all
Of these girls are Y creditable look
ing-more so than the usual bur-
lesque chorus. Box office receipts
at the Capitol this week certainly
ought to hit the high mark IL
Washingtonians can appreciate
burlesque.s

GAYETY.
"Sugar Pluns.-

Joe Freed and Harry Coleman are
back in Washington again to de-
light patrons of burlesque at the
Gayety in the once Dody-owned
production which has taken the
name OF Sugar P1ums." Aside from
taking the sugar plum name to
distinguish it from other shows.
the management has acquired a lot
OF good burlesoue comedy. situa-
tions-some new. some old but
nevertheless in the supremely
funny class. Needless to say Freed
and Coleman work together like
clock-work for laughs. Freed has
discarded his wig and grotesque
makeup and is appearing a. a
rather eccentric comedian. Cole
man continues in his own unique
character as we'll as his Justly IA
nous dope" bit -
Coleman, it will be remembered,
was seen. at the Gayety a few
weeks ago in the step Lively
Girls" but; in his present role he
has unlimited opportunities for
laughs and he makes the best Of
them. Freed is as funny as ever
and we believe when he discarded
his former comedy outnt he in
creased his comedy value.
The rest of the show Is all that
could be expected as far as sup
port is concerned Klara Hendrix,
Katherine Martin. Nita Rose, Err
nest Fisher and Tom Duffy are the
principals who aid Freed and Cole
man in their quest for. laughs.
Hughie and Phoebe Prest stopped
the show with their dancing spec

The scenery hits the average, the
show Is well gowned and the
comedy is mos" certainly enjoyable.
Freed, Coleman and the Sugar
Plums are worth seeing. H K.

This latest edition Of the PASS
ing Show" features less cuticle but
registers more fun per minute
than all. OF It's predecessors. II
abounds In clever dancing and there
is sufficient colorful spectacle In
the scenic iavestiture and costum-
ing to satisfy those who crave an
optical treat. All in all the latest
Winter Garden production sets q
new mark for fast and entertain
ing revue.
The Shuberts have reverted to the
sure fire comedy recipe Of ira
vestying Broadway successes. Any
body who has enjoyed Little Old
New York" is certain to find
amusement in the broad burlesaue
of that production which opens the
comedy portion. Then follow in
rapid succession satires on The
Charm School," THE. Bad Man"
'Lightnin'" The Bat Mecca
and Spanish Love" Harold After
idge, who furnishes the book, has
been more than ordinarily success
full in providing witty lines but Il
Is primarily in the clever company
of principals that the success OF
thess amusing skits is emphasized.
Leading all the fun makers are
Willie and Eugene Howard with
new songs and jokes and Willie's
marvellous faculty of imitation.
Willie Howard's impersonation
of Frank Bacon is an artistic gem
and to round out full evening he
offers his Impressions Of David
Warfield, Joe Weber, Lew Fields.
Louis Mann, Sam Bernard and OF
course AL Jolson, besides furnishing
the bulk of laughs in a mirthful
burlesque of the "Rigoletto" quar-.
tette- Nay Boley, who has devel-
oped into q capital comedienne is
-congenially cast to entertain with
Will H. Philbrick and W. II. Pringle
at moments when the stars are not
the center of attention.
This Passing Show" Is rich in
dancing talentS with applause, hon
ors seeming divided between the
Lockfords, q sensational English
couple and Cortez and Peggy. The
Lock fords. a diminutive pair, pro-
vide ten minutes Of marvellous aero
batic terpsichore while Cortez and
his partner are seen in the more
conventional ban room gliding and
intricate stepping. Frank Aasters
and Peggy Brown also shine as
nimble exponents Of dance.
John Quinlan leads in the vocal
izing and Ina Hayward with Ann
Toddings offer song specialties that
serve to introduce the expected en-
semble Of beauty tastefully gowned
in costumes that are strikingly
fresh and pretty and more plenti-
full in surface than ordinarily OBJ
tain in such productions. -,
The interpolated musical num-
bers Of Billy Jerome and Al Good
man are frequently tuneful and
generally satisfying. A word OF
credit Is due J. c. Huffman for
skillful staging and many Of the
twenty-six scenes are genuinely
beautiful. -.

Pola Negri, the European actress
whose characterization of Louis

comment all over the country, at
tracted a large audience to Moore's
Riaito Theater yesterday, where
she appeared as the star in ..The
Last Payment" a Paramount pro-
duction and the first picture in
which American audiences have
seen her in a modern role.
That the star Is perhaps one of
the best "vamps" on the screen
today was demonstrated. As Lola
in this unusual picture she rises
to heights Of represeed and emo
tfonal acting. The situations are
thrilling. The story concerns Lola,
pretty wife Of South American
cattle dealer. She meets a young
Partisan and. when her husband is
slain by vengeful vaqueros, she ac-
companies the young man to Paris.
Lola had been married previously
ana had driven her husband to
ruin, but when. she again enters

her to the man who vainly loves
her Tragedy then enters the lives
Of all, concerned, and there are
scenes Of dramatic force. before
Lola drinks toast to love, and
at the dawn stumbles through a
lonely park and collapses on an
ernbankment which Is to be the
finsl resting place OF her gay life.
The story has been superbiy staged
and Is replete with settings OF re-
markahle beauty.

Horace Greeley once said: go

says: Write a book, young man. ="
Both these famous personages must
have had in mind the young mans
opportunity of gaining a fortune and
name in life. Professor Babb has
already written four volumes. (No,
they are not novels.) AS all famous
men are more often prompted by in
spiration than monetary considera
tions, Professor Babb has decided to
write another book. This book will
contain valuable information in
reference to THE Laws of Our Con-
stitution." Prof. Babb expects to
make a special price of $$$$ to the
students of Boston university.
The familiar red pencil which
Prof. Bellatty uses on the class con-
tributions to The Weekly Plunge,
was carefully laid aside to-day in or

OBITUARY..

In the death of Mrs. Sarah Patten
Phillips, this town has lost one of its
oldest and most respected citizens.
Hers was a quiet, unobtrusive life,
but one which was often quoted as
a model of patience and piety. She
was great home-maker and home
lover, and the mother of four chill
dren, one of whom died in young
womanhood. The death of her
youngest son, William e. Phillips,
eight years ago, was heavy blow
to her mother heart, added to the
blindness which had been growing
upon her for years, and helped to
undermine her strong constitution.
Mrs. Phillips was for years mem
Der of the Surry Baptist church, and
one of the old, conservative school.
1t is such as she who, in their death,
widowhood. She also leaves a
poorer.
She is survived by two sons, Dyer
j. Curtis, son of her first marriage,
and George Fl. Phillips, both of this
place. Her son George has tenderlv
cared for her from the time of her
late widowhood. She also leaves a
former daughter-in-law, now Mrs.
Bertrand Johns of Bangor, who low
ingly helped care for her in her last
illness; also five grandchildren, Lin
wood, Harry, Bernice and Rodney
Curtis of Surry, and Francis. Curtis
