PECULIAR TWIST IS
TAKEN IN PICTURE
"The Gilded Lily Mt Opera House To-.
night Is Unusually Attractive
For Program Picture.

There is tone and quality about
Mae Murray's latest picture, THE

Washington Theater tonight. which
places 1t on par with "On With the
Dance" Those who recall the latter
will find In the new presentation
the same artistics effort to make some
thing worth while. The theme may be
said to have been cut from the same
pattern, yet Clara Beranger, the au-

and Tom Geraghty, the supervising d.

OF refurnishing 1t with refreshing de-

ponent OF New York night life in her
screen stories. 1t Is a role which ex-
cellently becomes her because OF her
dancing talent and her ability to ap-
pear at east In bizarre costumes.
Miss Beranger has employed the
idea OF the city girl who is keen for
glitter on the surface, but in whose
heart there Is longing for the finer
things OF life. There is a slight twist
to the development which Is found In
her response to the country youth

person who bedecks himself In eve

One can appreciate how the spon-
sors have co-ooperated in making this
picture appealing. Despite its rather
hackneyed theme. there is a bid for
the interest which Is caught at the
opening scene and which never re-
lakes. A compact continuity Is at the
bottom of this attention on thet part OF
