CRANDALL'S-"Burning Sands"

Burning Sands" and 'The Electric
House" returned to Crandalls Ninth
and e Street Theater yesterday after
noon to entertain those who missed
these pictures when they were shown
a few weeks ago at the Rialto and
Metropolitan Theaters. respectively.
Burning Sands" which seems to be
the epilogue to the flood of Arabic
and sheikish pictures and stories
that has descended upon the Amert-
can public for more than year, Is
entertaining. no matter what ones
prejudices may be. Wanda Hawley
and Milton Sills carry tho story In
the picture with a distinct smooth
ness and are quito pleasing in their
novel roles.
Buster Keaton, in "The Electric
House." should be the feature of the
Crandall bill for reasons that are OBJ
vious. Try to picture the events that
would follow the wiring OF a million
aires mansion by youth who had
just been graduated from CORE
spondence school as a botanist. and
then see the picture. Buster creates
and successfully works out more diff
ficult problems than any hard boiled
''math" teacher ever dreamed Of.

With comedy and song. "Buddies'

dent Theater last night, winning from
a large audience generous portions Oh
tears and laughter.
Miss Wanda Lyon assumed the Iem-
tnine lead. in place of Miss Elleen
Wilson, who has left the company 1or
a rest, and as Julie, the petite Frencn
maid, adored by American buddies
billeted in her mothers barn, ana
most fervidly adored by one. Babe,
registered a distinct hit. Henry DuHy
as the baShful boy, Babe" who faced
the Germans in the Argonne, but fed
IN terror at the sight of his beloved,
further evinced his histrionic YER
satility, handling the role with deli
cacy and cleverneSs. George sweet,
a. recent addition to the players, as
Sonny, worked his way into the ap-
proyal of the audience, and the an
nouncement that he may remain per-
manently elected prolonged applause.
The story concerns the love affairs
of doughboys billeted in a barn in
France. 1t has much wholesome
comedy. genuine pathos, fine fat
villain and rollicking music. Miss
Lyons please Learn to Love, her
best song, went lifting through the
whole evening, while a double male
quartet of doughboys drew several
encores 1t included Messrs. Cameron.
Fogle. Daily, Lesser. Stern. OBrlen,

pOII'S-"The Bat, +"

That thrillingest Of thrillers. "The
Bat" which Is generally acknowl-
edged to lead all the long train OF
mystery plays OF today. has returned
to Polls Theater for one more week
Of exciting entertainment The story
based upon Mary Roberts Rineharts
first book. THE Circular Staircase,
published in 1908, tells Of a clever, re
sourceful maiden lady who goes with
her superstftious maid. Lizzie. ana
her pretty niece, Dale, to live In an
attractive country house Tor rev
months rest. She finds that the mouse
is believed to be haunted, ana de-
termines to unravel the mystery. "A
bank embezzlement and clever GRIM
1nal called 1.-The Bat" add to the gen
eral excitement. 1t would naturally
be unfair to other audiences tnis
week ito divulge the solution or TINS
to say that there is certainly de-
cided punch" to It's final outcome.
Julia Stuart is delightful as MISS
Cornelia Van Gorder, the intrepid
spinster, and has the cleverest lines
in the play. Ursula Ellsworth is per-
feet as the comic relief and makes
the most Of every possible angle TO
her part. Herman Lieb as Anderson,
Charles Gotthold as DR.. Wells, ana
Courtney White as Richard fiemins
are particularly realistic In their
characterizations. Indeed. the entire
company Is excellent.
The unusually large Sunday nient
audience which followed this Rine-
hart-Hopwood play with interest
evinced it's appreciation of the clev-
erly handled plot with a whole
hearted response.
Although this is the third season
that The Bat" has thrilled Washing
ton audiences, it has lost none of it's
mysterious charms by repetition and
the few lines in the play that mighs
appear bit stale, though fresn ano
timely the first season, are those
which relate to the fad for the "oui]a

eminent foreigners and his picture Is
interesting.
The other feature is "Kick In." with
Betty Compson, Bert Lytell, May Nc
Avoy and Gareth Hughes in the prin-
cipal roles. All are quite evidently
conscientious in developing their roles
so as to Undue them with distinct per-
sonality, The play, however, does not
offer as much opportunity as might
have been expected.
The story is of a group of crooks,
with one in particular, played by Bert
Lytell. who. having served prison
term, has firmly decided to go
straight" as all movie hero criminals
do sooner or later. However, one
would think the police system OF New
York city had little else to do than
follow this crook and his friends, 30

iousIy at their heels.
Miss Compson plays the role OF the
sweet daughter Of narrow minded
district attorney whose son and wife
are dissipated weaklings. Charles
Ogle makes a small role stand out
with unusual distinctness. The story
has the favorite type of American
ending.

the star Of its feature photoplay, wild

as If she had stepped right out Of the

tainment that follows Is quite convinc-
ing as a bit of real life. Her picture

BELASCO-"Spice of 1922" F"

Here's a recipe for theatergoers:
To superlative eye and ear enter
tractive cast of 100 girls and dancing
men: sprinkle with curry of intel
ligent direction; pour the mixture
into an impressive, smooth-runnlng
vehicle; let it simmer before an aus
dience for about one and one-nalr
hours during simmer time and serve
with jazzy musical sauce to assem-
bled guests.
The result of the Shubert-Belasco's s
attempt In this line was the an
nouncement that yesterday $500 souls
had passed the box Office portal and
obtained cardboards Of admission to
the banquet hall. Throughout this
week yesterdays presentation will be
rendered cash customers at the
Belasco.
"Spice of 1922 is a review. It re-
views by interpretative dancing
scenes in the Garden of Eden. scenes
in Paris, scenes on a farm, scenes in
a bedroom, scenes almost everywhere.
There are thirty scenes. All Of them
are short. They are so short that 1t
makes the actors look stingy, be-
cause there is a noticeable lack Of en-
cores. but on exiting at a few min
utes before II. after prompt 8:15
curtain raising. thanksgivings must
have arisen from many of the au-
dience that there was a lack OF en-
cores, for then it was realized and
scarcely till then that had repeats
been rendered to every demand folks
would be walking from the theateI
lobby to the office this morning.
The production reeks with satire
that gives sort Of backbone to the
entertainment. "Spice of Honey
incoming" scene eleven. act one, for
instance. is a lured satire on the Av-
cry Hopwood farce. and just as un-
blushing.
No attempt is going to be made to
describe scenes. No attempt is goiG
to be made to justify the omission of
a number of names and their congo
tions. However it is only fair - say
that the following might be paced
on the honor roll, as nearly as can be
