Z Washington tenants who see no

joining the ranks of home owners.
A majority of rents in the north
west section Of the city show little
reduction from those Of last year,
thus causing many dissatisfied per-
sons to swell the growing list of
home-buyers, according to realty
observers here. &.
Never before in the history Of the
city have the sales Of homes been
SO large and consistent. reports from
the active realty firms indicate.
During the last several winters,
realty sales have slumped consid.
erably,s but this winter great Opt.
mism prevails in the realtor circles.
Many new building operations are
being planned for next year by the
progressive builders here. Several
new apartment houses are expected
to be built; hundredS Of small stores
contemplated: comely subdivisions in
the outlying sections Of the city con.
sidered; and attractive bungalows in
Chevy Chase planned.
Prehaps the greatest amount OF
building activity the city has ever
experienced is under way In the
northwest section. Hundreds OF
homes are being erected and pors-
pective buyers are flocking to the

FRESH, RACY, CLEAN FUN
IN FRIGHT THAT FAILED"

A joyous leap away from the coa-
veational run of motion pictures is
foun nd;n "Thc Right That Failed," "
the new Metro picture, starring Bert
Lytell, which will be shown at the op-
era house next Thurs day. The au-
thor, J. P. Marquand, whose story
first appeared in the Saturday Even
ing Pist, has got away from the ster-
eotyped plot and developed a set Of
characters new to the screen with a
humorous and fresh observation that
holds the audience in its grip. 1t is
good, clean, wholesome fun, with
plenty of action and breathless sus-
pense.
The story was transferred to the
screen by Lenore Coffee, who de-
serves credit for the sparkling contin-
uity. Bayard WELLER, author Of
"Within the Law" and "The Thir-
teenth Chair" who has turned to
producing pictures for Metro, has
done the best work Of his career in
making the story live as a merry
slice of life, true to every detail.
Mr.. Lytell is seen as Johnny Duff
fey, "highbrow'' prize fighter, who:
ashamed Of his profession, pays court
to society girl, Constance Talbot,
at an exclusive summer resort. The
star was never more charming nor
deft in Characteristic than he is as
Johnny. It is a singularly subtle
portrait of roughneck who is a gen
tleman under the skin and a gentle
man who has the rough fibre of the
roughneck. Virginia Valli, one of
the most beautiful and distinguished
actresses of the screen, gives an ex-
quisite performance as Constance.
The brave old days of Charles Hoyt's
farces are recalled by the appearance
of Otis Harlan as Johnny's father, the
rotund little veteran of the stage roll
licking through the role in gurgling
gaiety. De Witt Jennings lends au-
thority to the role of Constance's
lawyer-father, and Max Davidson. as
the prize ring champion, and Philo
Mccullough, as young society suit
or of Constance, give excellent per-
