"Hunchback of Notre Dame

Victor Hugo, immortal of France,
and Lon CLANCY. motion picture real
ist, captured the supreme interest of
Washington yesterday-measured by
the size and quality of the audiences
that attended the first showing of
The Hunchback of Notre Dame" at
the Shubert-Belasco in the after
noon and evening. An even more i'm
portant social atmosphere will en-
phasize tonight's performance because
of distinguished officials and diplo-
mats who will be honor guests of the
management in tribute to the great
master Of French literature. whose
work has been Transmitted into the
drama of the screen.
Mindful of the gilt-edged aduIa ton
of commerce that Skyrocket the COM
ing of all photoplays, 1t is refreshing
to be able to admit that no adjective
has been overworked in behalf of this
production, which far exceeds in dra-
matte and scenic interest any de-
scription that heralded it's advance.
Travellers familiar with the great ca
thedral will recognize that its recon
struction has been invested with the
medieval gloom and architectural
splendor of the Notre Dame, and that
the eight squares of the Paris of
Louis XI hark back to the sights and
customs Of past century streets.
To scan the plot would be to in
fringe on the time of those acquaint-
ed with the story, and for any who
may be unfamiliar with the Hugo
work no mere outline could do justice
to the play itself. The introduction
of a Hyde-like villain and the per-
tie gypsy girl are changes of text
that are said to have been indorsed by
the critics of the country. They re-
fleet in no way on the value of the
original work.
While it is difficult for any human
being to create a character as it has
been visioned by the fancy of a read
er. Lon Chaney'S hunchbacked bell
ringer of the cathedral is the most
appallingly pathetic creature that
Distorted of shape, deaf to all sounds
of earth except the voice of the bells,
baboon-like in brute strength and
swiftness, he somehow conveys with
the one eye that nature has given
him a sense of gratitude for the girl
the priest who has reared him since
he was left a founding on the eathe-
dral steps.
The "beggar king" of Ernest Tor
renee Is a masterpiece; and the court
and the lame" walk. and where
laughter and death hobnob at his
bidding, IS one of the breath-ca tching
bits of the play. Another high light
is the festival of fools, with Tully
MdTsnaiINlooklnS as III ne might be a
Pythagoras-made incarnation of a
dyspeptic king grieved at sight of a
| populace having it's fun when there
| were so many empty dungeons.
Little Patsy Ruth Miller gave to
her embodiment of Esmeralda such
girlish prettiness and lightsome
charm of dance that even the great
Hugo. could he revise his text, would
be glad for her happy ending instead
of the grim one he provided. The re-
mainder Of the cast added individual
excellence to the artistic whole

"TriAine With Honor

"Trif1ing With Honor" a Universal
special production, in which a woman's s
reputation and a mans honor are held
at stake for a sufficient period to cause
the audience much uneasiness and
where the final result is kept In doubt
almost to the end of the picture, fur
nishes the chief attraction at the Gran
daifs Theater the first three days of
this week.
Into the drama has been woven an
especial appeal to sport-loving Ameri-
cans-the spectacle of the star batter
in base ball game confronted with
making good in the last half of the
ninth inning with two out and the bases
full
Rockliffe Fellows, FRITZ sRidgeway

players in the production.

Fables, Farmer AL Falfa's Pet Cat"
also is shown. The frolic Of a cat and
the liberties taken by mice make for
merriment.
