BELASCO-'
Hunchback Of NOtre Dame.

Capacity audiences yesterday
crowded the matinee and evening
performances Of the ShUbert- Be
lasco Theater where 1.-THE Hunch-
back of Notre Dame" began the
second and final week or its
washington engagement.
Lon CLANCY is the star OF this
beautiful production and 1t is safe

the role of tQuasimodo," the blind,
half-deaf and pitifully deformed
creature whose home is In the
mighty cathedral Of Notre Dame,
as one of the most compelling
and greatest that has ever been
contributed to the silver sheet.
In spite of most unattractive
physical traits the noble qualities
of the character are lined in q
manner that actually makes
"Quasimodo, appealing, q tribute
of distinction to q really fine
camera actor.
AS nearly everyone knows the
principal character Of the story
finds his only joy In hearing the
wild. or sad or joyous ringing Of
the cathedral's giant bells. How
a beautifully unselfish and devoted
love and loyalty are awakened in
the tragic figure for the little
dancing girl, Esrneralda, whose
kindness to him becomes q
miracle, is one Of the high points
Of an interesting theme. The

Raw demonstrates his absolute
right to a place in the cinema sun.
To the. critical the most pleasing
thing Of all is that although John
Alden dominates Charles Ray. ne
does not dominate the story itself.
AS a matter of fact, no actor DOM
mates the film at all; an mani.
mate thing turns that particular
trick, and just as in 'The Hunch-
back of Notre Dame" the great
cathedral stands majestically as
the outstanding feature of the pro-
duction. SO in 1.-THE Courtship OF
Myles Standish" does the replica
of the Mayflower impress as being
the center around which the con-
stellation revolves.
No finer photography, no better
directing, no more capable cast,
has been seen in Washington in q
long time. Added to the perfect
performance of the star Is the sat
isfying work, of Enid Bennett as
his foil--although perhaps IN inn
portance e. Allyn Warren as Myles
Standish would rank even higher
than Miss Bennett. sWarren's con-
tribution is as vital q part Of THE

FOX IS
HEADLIN Err
AT STRAND

It is q far cry from the
classical Souvenir Of the violin
to present-day jazz, but the bill
at the Strand Theater this week
covers the distance easily and
well. There is little OF the usual
dancing, but its lack is more than
made up with comedy and mu-
steal numbers.
The headliner is the versatile
musical comedy star, Harry Fox,
who makes his first appearance
at popular prices in Intimate
Moments" singing old songs and
new. He still retains his pOpu-
1arity, and Charles Seville assists
ably at the piano. As an added
attraction is presented the merry
little Chinese Coincidence, Lady

One leaves the President Theater
this week with a feeling Of having
witnessed an actual page from
American history and that Charles
Ray has in 1.-THE Courtship Of
Myles Standish" placed both his
own name and that Of his produc-
ton in the very first rank Of the
cinema brigade.
Perhaps some future day the
romantic history Of this land will
be recorded, not on the printed
page, but by the delicate wraiths
that haunt the silver sheet. And
just as 'The Birth of a Nation
tells all there is to say Of the civil
war, so will ''Myles Standish'' be-
come the synonym for that glow
ing period, the settling of New
England. In this Charles Eay
may pride himself as having ac-
cOmpltshed a work that, although
he may never duplicate it's value
again, will place him forever
among the chosen few great of the

tune, it is necessary for the
heroine to masquerade as q boy,
and 1t is here that Miss Davies
does some of the finest acting
she has ever brought to the
silver sheet.
Not only is Miss Davies i'm

ingly realistic and convincing,
but she brings world OF charm
and appeal to her Interpretation.
Always. she is adorable and she
constantly reveals q deep and
thoroughgoing understanding of
the requirements of the part that
make her performance in this
production among the finest char
acterizations ever placed before
an audience.
Harrison Ford, who, with Miss
Davies carries the main romantic
theme of the story, offers a por-
trayal Of strong, appealing charac-
teristics. Others who have
prominent parts in the picture
are Louis Wolheim, of ''Hairy

BUOYANT IS
MISS COWL'S.
JULIET

Youth, bouyant, enthusiastic
and petulant, went arm and arm
with Jane Cowl and Rono Peters
Saturday afternoon and night
through the worlds most appeal
ing love story, Romeo and
Juliette." They bring it home
that after all love and youth are
the most beautiful things in the
world.
M IS Cowl, in her fragile lowell
ness gets across the foothghts,
the winsomeness and naivete OF
the girl of 81 cen caught In the
thrills of eat leEe.. In the
balcony scene and thank good
ness, it vas "a plain, architec9
turally beautiful old Italian ball
cony without the usual trailing
pink rosebuds-she portrays a
few lingering traces of childish
petuIance toward her nurse, who
insists that she shall come in
when each stolen word with her
lover is at the highest premium.
When that same child realizes
that father, mother and nurse are
determined she shall marry the
County Paris, Miss Cowl gets into
her acting that lovely womanli-
ness which prepares the way for
the great sacrifice Juliet was
willing to make to be again with
her beloved Romeo. 1t was just
q tilt of her head and slight
change in her bearing, but we
knew that the crisis Of her life
had come.
In delightful contrast to the
heavy somewhat elderly Romeoss
which have time and again tr0d
through the part. Rollo Peters
gives us a boyish Romeo who
laughs at his own presentiment
OF the forthcoming tragedy, who
raves In sentimental puppy-love
fashion over his Rosalind, who in
careful youthful comradery throws
his arms around the shoulders of
his companions when they plan
q lark. to the home of the enemy
Capulets, but who is capable of a
wealth Of real passion when he is
truly touched.
His portrayal Of the boyish
grief and Inrestrained sobbing
when he hears in Friar Law
rencess cell that the Prince has
banished him from Verona and
consequently from his beloved
Juliet for the murder of Tybalt,
is one of the finest bits of acting
In the whole play.
It should be noted, too, that
Mr.. Peters, besides being an adj
mirable actor, is due much credit
for the beauty of the production
which he designed.
IT Is difficult in a cast of such
excellence to single out individual
performers, but Dennis King,
who did some very interesting
work In Washington summer. be-
fore last with the stock company
ax the Garrick Theater, was good
In the part of the rash and I'M

JACKIE';S NEW
PICTURE A
TRIUMPH

Another triumph for Jackie Coo
gan is 'L0ng Live the King"
screen version of Mary Roberts
Rinehart's well known story, which
is being shown at Loew's Column
bia this week.
AS Jackie's first production I'M
der Metro contract, it is also his
first screen appearance without
the familiar rags which have
seemed to contribute so much to
his success. The lump just as
easily finds it's way into ones
throat, however, when he appears
in the role of prince-a mixture OF
courtly little gentleman and ire
pressible child.
The story centers around the
youthful crown prince Of the small
kingdom of Livonia, who slips,
now innocently, now mischiev-
ously, in and out of the traps set
for him by an anarchist group
planning revolution upon the ex-
pected death of the old king. He
is a lonely and appealing little
figure, pursuing his royal duties
in q whimsical fashion, but first
learning real play from an Arneri-
can boy whom he encounters on
one OF his impulsive escapes from
the unsympathetic eye of his aunt,
the archduchess.
Through his friendship for the
American boy he innocently falls
into the hands of the revolution
lists and cringes in childish terror,
until, discovering his favorite body
guard also a captive, he forgets
himself and with amusing ingenu-
ity helps effect their escape, reach
ing the palace just in time to queu
the revolution.
The settings are so beautiful,
the story so charming and Jackie
SO satisfying that this production
fairly cries aloud for a better sup
porting cast.

ture, IF Were King" there were
no supplementary features.-M. M.

details).
Wen chance a guess that "Our
Hospitality" Is the most congental
vehicle BUS" has found for some
time. It represents q radical de-
parture from the formerly cut and
dried, mostly dried, comedy
formula. Here we find a well de-
fined plot, not Just a series Of
gag incidents. There are times
when the situations reach melo-
dramatic heights with the compile
mentary thrills, ~but withal,
veneer of fun has been glued on,
it would seem, and It gives a
brilliantly polished surface to the
whole. About as logical q comedy
as we have seen, and ended yes.

HUMBLE WORK IS RESUMED
New York "Gimi" Reported to Have
Gone Back to Occupation
That Pays Little.

In all New York the "bimi" has
doubtless the humblest profession
Without capital or skill, he has long
followed his career with, more. or less
profit. Years ago, he was familiar
character throughout the city, but the
war drove him from his accustomed
haunts. With the increase In build
ing activities throughout New York he
is once more appearing In considerable
numbers.
The "bimi," 1t may be necessary to
explain to newcomers to the city, Is
usually tramp or some one reduced
to want, who collects wood from new
building enterprises or from buildings
being demolished, and prepares and
sells bundles of fire wood. The pro.
fession requires no capital or skill, nor
indeed any tools. The wood Is usually
broken by the simple expedienr of
smashing 1t to pieces with paving
stone.
Any "bimi" who would save from
his income and purchase modern tool,
like a hatclet or axe, could greatly
increase his output, but such efficiency
is not expected of the tribe of 'bimies."

jump. The same product today com.
