his work in many ways is reminis-
cent both facially and in action OF
Chaplin's earlier days.
AS to 1.-THE Heart Raiders" itself

story Paramount has been giving
lately. It's locale is Florida-not
the Florida of cypress swamps
and bayous and hunted criminals
and bloodhounds that was define

week in "Fog-Bound," but the
Florida of idlers and spenders and
wealthy rest-seekers and pleasure
chasers. Miss Ayres wears some
attractively abbreviated swimming
costumes that show her alluring
qualities to the utmost advantage,
but she is not given the emotional
opportunities that she has had in
some earlier films.
Chief in her support Is the we'll

JAZZ T HE ME
AT CEN TRIAL
THEATER

If Daniel Carson Goodman Is
intent on making the purportedly
prevalent craze for jazz the basis
of -admonitory drama, he must
devise cabaret and studio party
scenes infinitely more sinister and
not half so delightful as those
which enliven the action of his
latest photoplay, HAS the World
Gone Mad?" revealed for the first
time yesterday at Crandalps Gen.
trail Theater. Has the World Gone
Mad?" fails to answer its own
Interrogation, but it does not in
any sense fail to afford vivacious
entertainment and. keenly inter-
esting drama. The story con-
Germs itself with two families liv-
ing in New York. The Adams
have son, the Bells daughter.
Mrs. Adams, having devoted TWEEN
ty years to motherhood and her
home, feels the call of such wilds
as there are in midnight dancing
clubs and sporty studios. Mr..
Bell, also having reached the dan
gerous age, likewise steps out.
Now it happens that young Mr..
Adams cares hugely for Lila Bell.
So when their night-blooming par
ents threaten to smash the happi-.
ness of both homes they. step in
and smash the clandestine ro.
nance of their erriug elders.
What could be- fairer?
Lavishly mounted and splendidly
acted by Charles Richman,. Mary
Alden and Elinor Fair, as the
Bells; Robert Edeson, Hedda Hop

lights, Has the World Gone

1.-The Snow Bride" Plus Fine
Orchestral Work, Makes
Happy Program.

One of the best-balanced pro-
grams Manager Beatus has so far
arranged for Palace patrons dur
ing the present summer season
is offered at that house this week.
From overture to feature, News
to Topics, it's bill well worth
anyone's time and money even
with the weather as warm as 1t
was last night.
The show starts off with a big
bang. The orchestra renders
Herold's well-known Tampa
overture with an added novelty
in the form of a piano trio-one
of whom being no less than Tom
Cannon himself! Then comes the
newsreel, with some specially
made local views of the baseball
game sponsored last week by sew
eral prominent Washington BUSH

The piece de resistance, how
ever, is the latest Alice Brady
starring vehicle, 1.-THE Snow
Bride" To say that it's hum
dred per cent improvement over
her last previous film, THE Leop-
ardess, is to put it mildly. In
1.-THE Snow Bride" there's every
thing that goes to make a fine
picture-play; beautiful scenery,
colorful, rich Characterization,
strong plot-interest, fine photog-
raphy and exceptionally straight
forward continuity. Not many
films can boast of so high score,
on so many of these all-important
points, but THE Snow Bride" is
one of the chosen few.
Miss Brady, OF course, brings
human and pulsating figure to
the screen in the role of Annette
pathetic by turns-in short, she
does in full measure what she
and but very few other cinema
celebrities can do; breathe life
into the character she portrays.s
Chief in her support is the
dashing, towering Maurice j.
Flynn, who as the sheriff facing
terrific struggles between duty
and something else contributes
more than a little toward the sue
cess of the picture as a whole.
Nick Thompson and Marie Ma
jeroni do some effective char
acter work, as does an unnamed
member Of the cast who plays a
sinister villain with -consummate
ease and eclat. And there are
some remarkable shots of a
snow-siide avalanching down a
mountainside that take the mind
away from local torrid tempera-
lures!

ISLAND TALE
SHOWN AT
RIALT0
Picturesque Story Laid in
South Seas Is Lost and
Found"

A most picturesque and colorful
picture, one both thrilling and
convincing, is Goldwyn's romance
of the South Seas, Lost and
Found" which was presented for
the first time in Washington yes
terday at the Rialto for the week.
The film is filled with pictorial
beauty, with strange and conf
polling drama, and with unusual
persons in tense situations. 1t
may be classified for those who
like such definitions. as romantic
melodrama, with action rapid
enough to suit the most 1aded
picture palate. The beauty Of the
tropical settings on the island OF
Tahiti where the greater part OF
the picture was taken are remark
able for clear photography. This
combined with an emotional
story perfectly acted and directed
by the master hand of r. A.
Walsh, serves to bring US one OF
the best adventure pictures seen
here in sometime. The ship and
native war scenes are stirring
bits of action. ii
The story centers around the
compelling figure OF an island !
trader popularity known as Cap
tain Blackbird. His wife has
deserted him for an island gov
ernor, having taken with her the
Oldest child Lorna, but leaving a
young baby. Blackbird, enbit-
tered and resentful, breaks away
from his old associations and
feared by both whites and ma
tives, operates q slave ship. Out
Of this situation is developed
vivid dramatic. tale in which fig
ure as the principal characters
Blackbird and his wife Madge;
their oldest daughter Lorna:
Lloyd Warren, an American and
Walk, native medicine man.
The cast is most wisely selected.
House Peters as Blackbird, has
never done better. Rosemary
Theby as the deserving wife has
the sort of role in which she
excells. Pauline Starke. as the
daughter raised IN a naIL-WIlO
state on the island, gives q
Characterization that Is beyond
criticism, while Antonio Moreno
is the wholesome rugged Amer
lean hero to the life.
After a lapse of two weeks
George Wild and his famous
orchestra forge to the front again
by giving a most delightful and
unique musical offering.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Declaring
that the American people are eat

cess Of sugars and starches are

that the death rate has been enor.
Snously increased by the treatment
or disease with useless drugs, DIR.
Julie Stevens, dietetic adviser to

the American diet must be revolu-

place in the progress of the world.
Despite the fact that she is the
mother of twenty-five.year-o
son, DR.. Stevens emphasizes the
advantages Of a scientific diet by
possessing the fresh skin and clear
eyes OF a young girl. Typicauy
french, she. expresses herself with
all the sparkle and vitality of a
brilliant Latin mind. Her working
day is frequently twenty hours long.
she says, and during the war her
endurance was such that she kept
at her duties in a French military
hospital after the men doctors had
dropped from exhaustion.

ice-cream sodas. Millions more Of
you are only half alive because
your bodies are so clogged with
poison that your cells are often

American at thirty seems more
lacking in love of romance than
Frenchman at seventy.

II personally use half pound of

take them in the natural form Of

is especially true of the human

1t was a yellow covered book, a
collie dog. and a threatened opera
