type Of human being of whatever

that springs naturally from the
movement OF the coherent. we'll de-

strength quite on a par with the
amazing power revealed by Charlie

The theme of "Grandma's Boy"
however. has nothing in common
with the Chaplin vehicle. In this
subject. Lloyd Is cast as a physical
coward bereft of the slightest
vestige of confidence in himself
he is everybody's easy mark and
when confronted with an emery
ency never is equal to It. So his
grandmother weaves a fantastic
tale of his grandfather's heroism
which was inspired by the rare
power OF a mystic charm that pro-
tected its possessor from all harm.

As far as Washington and it's

dolph Valentino became a star long
ago in such pictures as The Sheik"
and Beyond the Rocks" Valen.

bow as a star for the first time in
Blood and Sand" the great Ibanez
photoplay triumph, which was pre-
sented for the first times in wash
+ington yesterday at Loew's Colum-
bia. where this picture Is offered as
the de luxe feature of a splendid
program for Labor Day and all this
week.
Blood and Sand" represents an
other instance of the literary
genius of the brilliant and famous
V. Blasco Ibanez, who startled the
world with his immortal novel,
The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse." and who later gave the
world Mare Nostrum" and Blood
and Sand" 1t first appeared in
dramatic form as a vehicle for the
noted Otis Skinner. who played it
all last season. Now Blood and
Sand" comes to the screen in a pro-
duction directed by Fred Niblo, who
brings to the support of Mr.. valen-
tino one of the really great casts Of
the year, including Nita Naldi and
Lila Lee.
In Blood and Sand" Ibanez has
told the story of a young Spanish
lad who sets out to fulfill that
burning ambition or Spanish youth
to become toreador, a bull
fighter. and thus become the idol
of the Spanish populace. BY his
extraordinary daring. grace and
skill. he achieves his mark, marries
girl he loves devotedly and set
ties into an existence that is ideal.
Into this condition o. affairs comes
titled Spanish temptress who sees
in the toreador a ht subject for her
wiles. and with little or no effort
manages to utterly fascinate the
man.
From this situation there is de-
veloped a forceful and powerful
dramatic climax that has few
equals in screen annals. As
whole the story flashes the fiery
romance and passion of Spain and
it literally riots in color, gayety
and a carnival atmosphere
The Columbia offers also a sub
ject showing the inaugural parades
of Presidents Mckinley. Taft and
Wilson. as well as the International
News Views. an animated screen
cartoon and a splendid musical EN-
bellishment by the Columbia SYM

ton of Leon Brusilof.

THE CAST,

The return of Miss Julia
Dean to Washington. for any
theatrical purpose. is an occasion
of interest to a host of devotees
who have been her friends since
the days of her leadership in va
rious local stock company enter
prises. They knew her as an act
ress of natural charm and sim
plicity of approach who could yet
rise with firm and confident step
to any emotional level where a
role might call her. Last night
her admirers found her still at
home on the heights.
Mark Swans name seems to con-
meet in memory with divers farees
of an unsavory tang. For the ben
eft of those who would seek and
those who would avoid. let 1t be
said at once that Her Own Money"
is of a different stripe. Here Mr..
Swan had a moral to PROFOUND.
and he has been careful to make
his exposition cleanly as well as
forcible. He is a facile fun maker
and has not carried his serious m
tent to the point of neglecting
that side of the shield. Her own
Money" is rich in laughter.
The playwright's thesis Is that
wife should be a partner in the
domestic enterprise instead of a
mere dependent. and should not
have to ask to put her hand in
the common treasury. The couple
who point his moral have been
long and happily married and to
cloud is visible. The wife is Sc
cretly chafed by her situation of
financial dependency. and secretly
saves a tidy sum from her house
hold allowances.
At moment of crisis is the
husbands business SHE resolts to
furtive means to place the money
at his disposal. and when the facts
come to light there is a disastrous
explosion. His pride cannot endure
the fact of her past secretiveness,
and he leaves her. The smash-up
is little hard to believe in. on
the premises presented. but if you
allow sufficiently exceptional
hardness or stubbornness of pride
in the mans character. you may
be, convinced, and anyhow you will
be only comforted with the con-
ventional reconciliation in the final
act.
Duncan Penwarden is admirable
as the husband. He is perfectly
suited to the part. He and MISS
Dean carry the brunt of the un-
dertaking. But the couple from the

By EARLE DORSEY.

Avery Hopwoods latest excursion
into the drama, Why Men Leave
Home" is not a farce. On the con-
trary. it is a three platitude that
spends the evening demonstrating
a fairly self-evident fact, to wit:
that the best remedy for lop-sided
matrimony Is to break up the bar
gain-or pretend to, at least.
That seems about the sum and
substance of Mr.. Hopwoods new
comedy which came to the Belasco
last night for a week But for
Hopwood's ease with dialogue and
his facile readiness with incidental
comedy, why Men Leave Home"
might be a dreary affair. indeed.
As it stands. Hopwood's well-known
lingerie complex provides a boddoir
scene that threatens anything, while
incidental touches of comedy and
satire make it at least popularly
entertaining.
Hopwood has pointed hts moral
/ by revealing the plight of three
summer widowers whose wives sim
ply will not stay home and who.
furthermore. frown upon thrift
industry. economy, maternity and
other supposed concomitants of
wedlsck. Mr.. Hopwood has UNDER
taken to show that husbands who
calmly submit to such treatment
are far gohe in ignorance of wife,
nature when even a little promis-
cuous husbandly home-leaving
would work wonders in remedy
ing affairs.
The idea. of course. is too trite
TO be anything but secondary to the
manner in which the idea has been
developed. In this development.
however. there is to be found
touches of humor that are humcr-
Gus and bits of drollery that are
Heally droll- One of the summer Wild
wers. for instance. has contracted
affair with one Hattie. from
polulu, a member of one of the
missionary families in Hawaii
has taught him to nula and
he ukelele. Another has fallen
