of the current week at Crandall's
Theater. A new two-reel Mack
Sennett comedy. by Heck" added
to the pleasure of yesterdays ca
pacity audiences many times,
judging from the manifestations of
tumultuous amusement.
Shadows OF the Sea" was writ
ten by Frank Darcy, and directed
by Alan Crosland. Mr.. Tearle's role
Is that of Capt. Dick Carson, skip
per of an outlawed craft, which
carries on an Illicit traffic in con-
traband goods. The captain, how.
ever. is a highly educated gentle
man with commendable ideals. a
keen sense of justice, and a lasting
gratitude for those whose efforts
aid him
When his life is saved, after he
has been severely wounded In a
battle with the law on the. Cali
fornia coast, Carson feels a debt OF
gratitude to the physician who
ministered to his needs that mani
tests itself in a determination to
bring the doctors faithless wife to
justice when he becomes convinced
that she was at least in part instru-
mental in causing his death. To this
end he tricks her and her would-be

that constant propinQuity will be

however, taken into consideration
the behavior of his own heart, and
from this fact is derived the plays

fulfills its mission. The plot Is
negligible, but the cleverness OF the

Biography more than atone for the
lack of substance in the narrative.
The bill for the early week Is
agreeably rounded out by a variety
of short-reel features and tune
fully completed by an excellently
skillfully synchronized pipe organ
accompaniment.

thusiasts crowded Loews
Palace Theater during yes
terday's performance to witness
the first showing at popular
prices OF Rex Ingram's noted and
masterful $1,000, 900 production for
Metro of V. Blasco Ibanez's world
famous novel OF the great war,
1.-THE Four Horsemen Of the Apoc-
alypse" This Is the same pro-
duction that thrilled capacity au-
diences for three solid weeko at
Polls Theater, where 1t was first
shown as a regular So theater at
traction. 1t was announced for
showing last week at Loew's Co
lumbia Theater, but was trans
ferred to Loew's Palace. where
yesterday 1t began an engage
ment Of one week only.
"The Four Horsemen" Is the
supreme expression OF the great
war. No novel in many years
has created greater furore than
Ibanez's masterpiece. 1t has
been interpreted for the screen
under Rex Ingram's direction by
Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry
and a cast that includes fifty
principals and $500 supernumer-
aries. The task of transferring
Ibanezs story to the screen was
accomplished by June Mathis. Ca
pacity audiences at the Palace
yesterday afternoon and last
night saw clearly why this pro-
duction took America by storm
when II was first shown through
out the country.
The opening OF the story 10
laid in the Argentine, on the Inn
mense ranch of Madariaga, the
centaur, whose daughters have
married, one a Frenchman, the
other a German. Julio, the son OF
the French son-in-law, Is the
pride Of his grandfathers heart
and the logical heir Of the Madarf-
aga estate, but when the sturdy old
centaur dies without a will the
estate 10 sold and divided among
the children.
Julio takes his share and goes
TO Paris, where he becomes a brill
liant figure in the Paris art world
and enjoys a love affair with
the unloved wife Of an elderly
Partisan. The blast Of war dis
rupts the hopes and desires Of the
peace.loving Julio, his sister and
all his family. Unable to resist
the call of his adopted country.
Julio enlists. The story reveals
the effect OF the struggle upon
Julio and his associates. II Is a
conception epic and masterful in
its scope. Rudolph Valentino
has the role OF the dashing Julio,
and Alice Terry appears as the
woman he loves.
Director Thomas Joseph Gan
non of the Palace Symphony Or
chestra has supplemented the pro-
duction with the complete musi-
cal score that has aroused so
much praise throughout the
country. Mr.. Cannon conducted
the augmented orchestra at
Polls during the first Washing
ton engagement OF The Four
Horsemen." Owing to the UNI
usual length of THE Four Horse
men," the usual program features
will be omitted during this en-
gagement.

COOKING is BLAMED FOR
WORKERS POOR HEALTH

EAST LANSING, Mich. Feb. 81.
-Onethird Of all the workingmen
in the United States can't go to
work every day because OF poor
health, and the blame lies with the
American housewife. declared Miss
Mary Sweeney, dean of the depart
ment of home economics.
"Only S. per cent Of all the wage
earners between the ages of fifteen
and sixty are able to finish an
eight-hour day of work" says Miss
Sweeney. "Of these, 6 per cent are
physically fit according to medical
science.
IT'S the housewives duty to
remedy this condition. Poor food
and bad health habits are the great
est factors in poor health and unfit
ness"

CAPITOL
"VictOry Bellies"

STAGE settings and scenic
effects that would do justice

coupled with the work of a chorus
of sprishtly girls who work hard
and in perfect unison. are out
standing features Of Billy Wallis
Victory Bellies" who yesterday
opened a weeks engagement at
the Capitol Theater. Big audiences
saw both performances and were
unanimous in voting it one Of the
most elaborate burlesque attrac-
lions that has visited Washing
ton this season.
There are ten scenes in the
two acts. giving ample opportun-
ity for the introduction of many
novel situations, to say nothing of
scores Of comedy specialties, PAN
tomine, acrobatics, eccentric terp-
sichorean and musical numbers.
The show starts at top speed
and improves as II goes along,
eliminating in a big scenic spec
tacle entitled "Japanland."
From the standpoint of comedy
the show is equally good. Its cast
includes three comedians who
are among the best known in
burlesque. They are Eddie Jor-
dan. in black face. and George
Leon and Bobby Wilson, eccentric
comedians. With the help of
Howard Harrison they produce
hundreds of laughs. The feminine
principals are Eleanor Mack, a
prima donna with an excellent
voice: Emma Wilson, an ingenue
OF much charm, and Lillian Harri-
son. one Of the cutest soubrettes
Of the burlesque stage.

TOURIST BERRY
PICKER IS DEAD

Harry Robinson, who with his
wife has been spending the last
three months in and about Salem
while waiting for the roads over
the mountains to be in their best
shape before making the return
trip to their home in Des Moines,
Ia, died Saturday near Waconda.
The body is now at the Rigdon
parlors awaiting word from rela-
tives in Iowa as to whether to
bury here or ship 1t back. Less
than week ago they were regis
tered at the city auto park.
Several months ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson started for lowe
but returned because of the condi.
tion Of the roads. Since then they
have been picking berries. Mr.
Robinson had served during the
war and was twice gassed and
while here was doctoring with To-
cal physicians. 1t is thought that
the weak condition of his lungs
and the exposure of camping
caused his untimely death.
