ture and a subsidiary short-reel
comedy, without, however, sacrific-

attraction and augments 1t with a

achieved what will probably be rec

Basing the action on the story of a

squad by an apparently successful
revolution, they rear a structure of
laughable exaggerations and tne-

Viola Dana, In "They Like EN-
ROuRh.0

In her comparatively long and
undoubtedly brilliant career before
the camera 1t is possible that Viola
Dana, the Metro star, has had as
good a picture in the past as They
Like En- Rough" her latest star
ring vehicle. but memory fails to
recall one that can even equal the
charm, the interest and the roman
tic appeal of this story of stone-age
lovemaking to a stonyhearted miss
which Harry Beaumont has pic
turized from the story by Rex Tay-
lor, and which was presented for
the first time in Washington at
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday.
Miss Dana, always insouciant and
demure by turns, comes to the Pal
ace screen this week in what Is
clearly one of the most appealing,
humorous and entertaining film
stories Of her long career in pic
lures. 1t reveals her in the role
of headstrong society girl who
has become engaged to an eligible
young man. through the simple de-
vice of being opposed by her aunt
and uncle. who regard the match
as ideal. Discovering the trick that
has been played upon her, the girl
resolves to be revenged, and an
nounces that she will marry the
first man she meets, irrespective of
who he is.
A 500 bill wins the consent of
a young and prepossessing lumber
jack to the match. and they are
married. The newly made bride
issues forth. steps into her road
ster, waves her hand airily. and
prepares to depart. The lumber
jack. however, has other ideas. He
pushes her away from the wheel
takes the car himself. and drives
her to his camp in the mountains
where he begins a course of sprouts
obstinate wife from further fond
ness for perversity.
Events in the woods, however
take a sudden turn, and the girl,
in attempting to escape. is set upon
by two scoundrels whom her hus-
band had discharged from the
camp. The latter arrives in time
to save her, but in the fight he IL
injured. The girl, fascinated by
his devotion and his willingness,
to fight for her. feels love stir in
her heart, and when the lumberjack *
husband is shaved in order to gel
at his facial injuries he is revealed
as a former sweetheart of the girl
| who wished to conceal his identity
until he could win his wife on the
new and different basis of under.
| standing.
Thus is brought to a happy and
interesting climax one of the mos
thoroughly appealing stories tha
Miss Dana has yet brought to the
silver sheet. William f. Lawrence
as leading man, contributes a pow
ferful and fascinating portrait of the
lumberjack husband. while the cas-

CHESAPEAKE BEACH.

Several thousand autoists visited
Chesapeake Beach, Washington's
only salt water resort, yesterday,
taking advantage Of the new high
way. The motorists supplemented
the usual throngs that made the trip
by train from Washington or by
steamer from Baltimore.
The spacious picnic grounds made
a delightful place for the excur-
sionists to spread their luncheons
and suppers on the grassy slopes
beneath huge shade trees. The
bathing beach. of course, was a
gala mecca. The boardwalk was
crowded with promenaders, while
hundreds sat in the quaint little
pavilions along the boardwalk and
watched the passing show.
Fishing enthusiasts had a big
day. as hardheads,s trout. and Nor.
folk spots were biting fine. Crab
bers also had good luck.

COLUMBIA.
"Nano0k OF fhe North.-

"Nanook of the North"-here Is a
picture that defies classification and
beggars description! 1t brings a
breath of new life. of unique novelty
and transcendent interest into the
theater and its engagement of one
week at Loew's Columbia, where IL
began a run yesterday afternoon,
may easily prove totally inadequate
to supply the demand this picture
is certain to arouse. 1t is a glo-
riously beautiful and entrancingly
fascinating story of life and love
in the Arctic, conceived and produced
by Robert J. Flaherty. F. r. G. s.,
an explorer and discoverer.
Mr.. Flaherty. who for the past ten
years has lived in the Hudson Bay
regions and far to the North, brings
the Eskimo to us on our own terms,
and it Is literally amazing to dis
cover the force of drama. the beauty
of background and the plain. un-
vanished human appeal that he has
top of the world.
BY comparison with this film, the
usual photoplay becomes as thin
and blank as the celluloid on which
it is printed. 1t is real. Its people
are not acting but living. Behind
them follows Flaherty with his
camera, and the result is a fascinat-
ing and engrossing camera record
that reels off with the grip of fiction
| and enjoys the distinction of being
fact Nanook himself is a genuine
hero. He is a hero who Is watched
with alert interest and suspense.
There is body as well as dramatic
vitality to Nanook's story and as en-
tertainment, 1t is far more inter-
| esting, far more compelling than
any except the exceptions among the
photoplays.
The story reveals Nanook in hi.
| family life. with his children. his
| wife and his dogs. 1t reveals the
| bitter struggle for existence that
marks all life in the Arctic and it
proves that the Eskimo Is not only
| a mighty hunter but a happy, con-
tented. peace-loving human with
many traits that could be copied to
advantage by his brethren In more
is not the work of a scenarist, 1t
unreels itself in episodes that knit
themselves into a complete fasci-
mating story and when one has seen
it one comes away with the impress
sion that this explorer-photograph
has written Arctic history more
graphically in one picture than all
the books ever written on this
subject.
"Nanook of the North" of course.
is the chief feature of the program
at the Columbia this week, but 1t is
not the sole feature. The bill has
been delightfully."- supplemented by
| a charming assembly of short
length camera subjects Of interest
and appeal. while the Columbia
Symphony Orchestra, under the di-
rection of Leon Brusilof. contributes
an overture of power and transcend
ent beauty.

the Garrick Theater, with Tom
Wise In the leading role. In the
production. Wise plays the role Of
Senator Langdon. a character he
made famous with the original COM
pany several seasons ago.
The story of "A Gentleman From

est to Washington as its scenes are
laid in this city.
Ada Meade. the popular leading
woman of the Garrick Players,
gives an excellent performance.
while special mention should be
given to Teresa Crosson. Ruth Hoff-
man. John Kline. Denis Connel

DEFY ROCKEFELLER

PARIS. July 3o.-There may be
double wedding II Mathilde Mccor-
mick and her father. Harold F. Nc
cormick succeed in smoothing out
the troubles in their respective
romances.
The wealthy former head of the
International Harvester Company Is
now awaiting the arrival Of his
young daughter who sailed from
New York yesterday. The daughter
is engaged to marry Max Oser.
Swiss riding master. while the
name of Nine. Gamma walska. the
Polish opera singer. who was
starred in the Chicago Opera Com
pany. has long been linked with
McCormick's.
Gets Final Degree.
The last obstacle in the way Of
their marriage was removed yes
terday when Nine. Walska obtained
a fine divorce decree from Alexander
Smith Cochrane, millionaire carpet
manufacturer. Mccormick was di-
vorced by his wife. Edith Rookie
feller Mccormick. daughter Of John
ID. Rockefeller. in December.
Although Mccormick denied he
was engaged to Nine. walska
several months ago. he hGrried to
Europe as soon as he recovered
from an operation in Chicago re-
Gently and since his arrival here has
been seen with Nine. Walska almost
daily.
Family In DeAed.
His daughter. Mathilde, has
been engaged to Max Oser. the
Swiss riding master for severai
months. and the wedding was origi-
nally planned for late summer or
early fall. But the proposed match
aroused such violent opposition
from Mathilde's mother that the
young girl rushed back to America
for family couLcil. 1t was re-
ported that her grandfather, John
ID. Rockefeuer opposed the mar
riage on the ground that he did not
wish any Of his family TO marry
foreigners. Mathilde showed no
signs of yielding to family persua-
son and il is said is returning 10
r1lrope to pick up the threads of her
International romance again. Her
Iatner mas never expressed any dis
approval OF the engagement.
The fact that Nine. walska Oh
tanned her final decree of divorce
Yesterday has revived again Euro
pean interest in the McCormicks'
domestic affairs. and the possibiIItv
OF double wedding in which both
1ather and daughter will take En-
ropean mates appeals strongly IN
the farisian Imagination.

up in Mabers Room presented
by the Belasco Players last night.
is a twin sister to Getting Gertie's
Garter" and a modest relative of
Ladies Night" all three plays hav-
ing been written by Avery Hopwood
and presented consecutively by the
Belasco stock company.
There is a marked similarity be-
tween "Gertie's Garter" and Ma
bel Room" although in the latter
play the author has polished off
some of the rougher spots that were
SO conspicuous in Getting Gertie's
Garter"
In one play the otherwise perfect
young man, who before his mar
riage has committed the indiscretion
of giving to his sweetheart a beau
tiful garter. spends three acts in
getting it before his wife finds him
out. In last nights play he sue
ceeds in gaining possession of a
chemise.
The situations involve all the
characters in what would seem to
be a scandal of the worst character
and the continuity of the themes and
the rapidity of action is typical of
Hopwood's plays and relieved from
the necessity to think the audience
may enjoy the relaxation it should
have during the hot weather.
The work of the players shows
to better advantage in this offering
than in any one Of the other pre-
sentations and without exception
the entire cast acquits itself far
better than one looks for in stock
company productions and as well as
many a first class road company
that has visited Washington.
There was nothing about the work
of the players to indicate an open
ing night. Every one seemed to be
entirely familiar with their part and
until the fall of the curtain in the
last act the whirlwind farce pro-
css ded with the smoothness of a
read production.
Earle Foxe as Garry again proved
his adaptability in Hopwood roles.
Gerald oliver Smith as his valet
overshadowed his previous excellent
work and Henry Duffy deserved all
the applause he received. Eleanor
Griffith, Kay LAUREL. Ruth Ham
mond and Peggy Allenby We'd for
honors in the feminine roles.

in which a remarkable all-star cast
yesterday began an three-day en-

In this subject. the dean of COM

Charles Murray. James Finlayson,
Billy Bevan. Mildred June, Dot Far

Gribbon. Ethel Grey, Terry, Ben
Dooley and a host Of others.
The high-voltage story concerns
the picturesque adventures of
country youth who came to the c.,y
and fell under the spell of three
distinct types of city women. There
are thrills aplenty to punctuate the
development of the intensely melo.
dramatic romance and an equal
number Of laughs to serve an anti.
dote for the scenes that induce cold
shivers. The climax of the picture
is marked by a greater degree o,
