METROPOLITAN.
"Monte Cristo.r

The thrills and excitement OF
Dumas novel and the supreme artis-
try OF a William Fox production
combine to make Monte Cristo." at
the Metropolitan Theater this week.
the most worth while cinemato-
graph in Washington this season.
Monte Cristo" is the story of a
young sailor who is unjustly i'm
prtsoned on the eve of his marriage
by his jealous enemies. He is buried
for twenty years In a dungeon in
the Chateau DIFF, where he Is edu-
Gated by an old abbe, a fellow pris-
oner. who imparts to him the secret
of the buried treasure. After a
thrilling escape he discovers the
treasure and returns to Paris to
wreak vengeance on his friends and
to reclaim his lost sweetheart
The acting of John Gilbert in the
heroic part of Edmund Dantes
sweeps everything before it. He is
ably supported by Estelle Taylor as
Mercedes; William V. Mong. as Cad
erousse; Robert Mckirn, as Vile
fort; Albert Frisco, as Danglers. and
Ralph Cloninger, as Fernand. Other
members of the cast include CASTOR
Glass, protege of Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt: Maude George. Renee Adore
Virginia Faire. Francis Mcdonald.
George Seigmann and Spottiswoode
Aitken.
The artistic filming of the play
is a noteworthy feature. The grim
walls of the Chateau off rising
from a violet sea and lighted by
the golden moon will not soon
| be forgotten by those who wit
messed this magnificent spectacle
The chateau was copied from the
original castle, which is still
standing on the French coast near
Marseilles.
The ballroom scene is one Of the
most magnificent in the play. The
large hall, an imitation of the BALL
room at Versailles. is filled with
handsomely dressed guests, cor
Nrectly illustrating the fashions of
the time of Louis, XIV.
The thrilling dueling scene in
the courtroom, the spectacular
escape from the chateau, and the
discovery of the treasure make
this play one which will appeal to
the young as well as the old.

Englishman is persuaded to imper-
senate the king long enough TO
allow the coronation ceremonies to
proceed, and while carrying out

BELASCO.
.MaIn street FolIies.-

Art Landry's band is the big hit
of the Shubert vaudeville bill that
holds forth at the Belasco this
week. These talented musicians rag

"Barcarolle" from Tales of Hon-

dOus ovation from yesterdays au-

playing indefinitely. so enthusias C
did the crowd become. Ted Lewis
and the Brown brothers have a rival
here that is going to create a good
bit of talk on it's round of the cir
cut.
The show is primarily designed as
vehicle for Fred ]. Ardath, but
the Main STREET. Follies." as the
long sfterpiece is named, is rather
too strong on comedy of the slap
stick order. That type of comedy
has gone out of style, since the films
can do a much wilder job of it than
Is possible on the stage. The show
abs lot of good dancing talent, a
good looking chorus and some 9t-
tractive scenes. but the two rural
sketches fall short of the standard.
one is the grocery store sketch, IA
miliar to vaudeville patrons for
several seasOnus. The other IS
newer but intrinsically not so
funny. The chorus and the dancing
principals might be given more TO
do; il would be to the advantage CT
the show.
The best comedy Is supplied by
Joe Morris and Florence Campbell
in their nut sketch. The Ave
ate-her." Miss Campbell is splendid
in putting over jazz songs, and Nor
ris has a style all his own where
Ardath appears in the roll of an. in
toXicated gentleman who has much
to explain to his wife. He might
well lengthen this scene and shorten
some of the "hick" stun.
The afterpiece features some cx-
cellent dancing by Shirley Doll, Vic
well as some very peppy work by
the ladies of the ensemble. Its last
scene introduces the entire company
in a minstrel show setting. and with
stunning costumes, the band being

measure. With a stronger book the
revue should 60 ever big.
