Class Day
Wednesday was Class Day at the
Normal. The exercises were held on
the campus and the main feature OF
the program was the coronation OF
the class queen. The queen had
been chosen by the class but her
identity kept secret until she appeared
in her coronation robes. The class
professional made its way across the
camrls, singing the class song, the
girls wearing Grecian robes OF white
and yellow. Following the seniors
came the queens attendante, Vide
Tubbs and Elva CHI Iob, then group OF
faculty children, strewing flowers in
the queens path, the maid of honor
Marie Vahle, little Marie Katherine
Prucha, bearing the queen crown
and last, the queen, Eugene Louis
ellie, and her trainbearer, Charles
Stratton. The procession proceeded
to the throne, where the queen was
crowned by the maid of honor.
After this ceremony, John Zahorik
in behalf of the Third Year Seniors
presented the Juniors with trowel

COLUMBIA-"One Exciting
Night"

A packed house greeted the first
presentation of "One Exciting Night"
the mystery melodrama by D. w.
Griffith, which has been called the
Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon. This Is a typically Griffith
production. with Carol Dempster as
a brunette version Of Lillian Gfsh.
The plot Of the story is so. trite that
1t is ludicrous and, instead Of being
comes periiously near to being q
farcical satire on the usual mystery
melodrama. All of the equipment
usually considered necessary for a
mystery story is present. There Is
the young girl raised with ignorance
Of who are her true parents: there Is
the lost bag, containing half a. million
dollars in fat bundles Of bank notes;
there is sheet-covered furniture In
rooms which inspires the cofored
servants with the customary reaction,
and there is the final discovery of the
villatness through the very original
method of duplicate pictures from a
locket.
Miss Dempster and Henry Hull are
entrusted with the leading roles.
The photography Is up to the usual
Griffith standard with a violent wind

largest screen Interpretation Of a

mirer, decides to leave rather than

those In the opposite category. ar
rived at the Metropolitan yesterday
for weeks run.
1t seems to be Marshall Neilan's
prerogative to be unique among pro-
ducers OF motion picture plays these
days. He ascends TO this throne by
putting out Aim plays that are real
istic and natural. ordinary and
everyday" but which the art of
concealing art IS blended with the
art Of making spectators keenly
aware of the unspoken thoughts In
the minds OF the characters. 1t would
would appear to casual observer
and an An inexperienced one, that the
magnetic field for Minnie's activities
beside the previous Neilan picture,
"Dinty."
In "Dinty" there is a drawing power
in nother-love and fIisI devotion.
The picture was based on those emo
tfons. All OF US are swung by them.
In Minnie" the theme, generally, IN
terests two classes OF Spectators
those who are good looking and
those who are not. Poor Min is
wallfower.
The picture is the story OF her
desire and inability to be popular.
1t is treatise on vanity. SO many
of us are so vain that we will no,
admit We are vain, that Minnie
doesn't get the whole hearted re-
sponse from US that the realism. ar
tistry. continuity and character in
depreciation evidenced in the pres
entation justifes. And this. despite
the fact that Minnie is admirably
true to life, with morsels Of humor
skillfully admixed here and there,
and with fair plot to carry It along.
The wind-uD however. In the eyes of
the realist enthusiast, breaks up the
glow that the picture has started to
create. Just when one Is getting to
like Minnie real we'll and to hand her
bit OF sympathy now and then. she
sroils 1t all by getting good looking
through plastic surgery. and removes
all possible necessity for sympathy.
Leatrice Joy, as Minnie, and Matt

exceptionally well with their roles.
The Evolution of Dixie" by Lake,

Ramsay Morris melodrama. THE
Ninety and Nine." yesterday was pre-
sented for the fret time in WASH
ington in photodramatic form as
chief feature of the bill arranged for
the first four days OF the current
week at the Central Theater. Colleen
Moore appears in the appealing role
of Ruth Blake, and Warner Baxter
represents the derelict who took to
drink to forget the injustice done
him when a murder of which he was
innocent was charged to him. The
scene in which Tom Silverton drives
the huge mogul engine through the
forest fire to save the Inhabitants of
the little town of Cleves is executed
with a degree of realism that gives
the climax of the picture unusual
force.
