Mr.. Kyne became famous through

MUSIC

The musical program Offered

organization is alone well worth
the price of admission. Any re-
view of this weeks program at
the house in question which would
fail to place the orchestral offer
ing in a dominant position would
be eminently unfair to both read
err and theater.
Wild's men are at all times
vibrant under his baton. Ills
sympathetic and comma rdlng in
depreciation last night OF several
selections from Donizetti's Lucia
di Lammermoor" left nothing to
be desired: predominating strings
gave forth the melodious Latin
karmt mes with the snluothness Of
satin.
An added musical attraction
that rivaled the orchestra own
was Elias Breeskin's rendition of
two beautiful solos for the violin
-Dvorak's immortal "Humor-
esque" (unheralded on the an
nouncement-card) and Drigo's diff
ficult ''Valse Bluette." Both wore
given with sure tone and def
lingering.

the best piece Of individual acting
in the film is done by Pauline
Starke, who, as the dumb girl
given the power of speech through
her persistent faith, has one
scene in which she scales emo
tional heights.
The story deals with a coal
mining settlement, its people and
its spiritual progress. A thrilling

which occurred in New Mexico

suspense of the story. Capable

For two years 1.-The Bad Man"
has been on the list of plays we'd
like to see, with Holbrook Blinn,
who fashioned the role. Realiza-

in viewing Frank Conroy in the

OF this play, and this accounts, in
some measure, for one of the sea-
sons best Characterization on any
local stage. Certainly no actor
within mind could do aught but
murder the part if he had but one
or two weeks of rehearsing, despite
any measure Of talent, to back him
up. There is a duality in the
Lopez caricature that Conroy en-
phasizes like a double exposure,
with never a neutral lapse in The
shading which differs the bad man
from the good man. Unfortunately
the play, as here presented, be-
comes as dual in makeup as its
titular chief, for without him on
the stage, the action threatens to

RAISER
Safety Last" an Alternate
Series of Loud Shrieks and
Suppressed Clasps.

Once in a great while, amid the
idiscordant clamorings Of the farce
and the overwhelming changing Of
the slapstick, comedy which is
worthy of the name will force its
way through the debris left in the
wake of predecessors and breeze
across the silver sheet and bring
real cheer to the heart of an audi
ence and a sigh of relief to the
lips of the staid play reviewer.
IT'S then that one settles a little
deeper in the seat df the height
of the party just in front perlnits)
and awaits developments with
thorough anticipation.
Harold Lloyd, alias "Grandma's
Boy" alias "Dr. Jack" ETC., has
again brought comedy to our
midst that is not embellished with
the aforesaid debris, a comedy
which adds another rung to the
ladder of his success and goes its
predecessor just one better. Har-
old will sojourn at the Metropoli-
tan during the current week in
his latest Safety Last" The
highly popular screen comedian
of the blank stare which has the
faculty of lapsing into g. contag1-
GUS smile, the gentleman with the
horn-rimmed glasses and the
straw hat has come bubbling over
with those things that are solely
of Harold Lloyd. And, in ad-
dition, he has added something
new which is quite comTnendable.
Safety Last is a comedy
unique, emotionally comical, II
that means anything. Lloyd de-
livers the goods straight from the
shoulder and with a, by no means,
feeble punch. When an actor is
able to arouse one to the pitch
Of a thrill Chick" as it is COM
monty termed and at the same
time make a genuinely humorous
situation and put it over--well,
we say it's going some. Yet this
IL just what Harold has succeeded
in doing and we doff our caps in
recognition of the fact.
The story centers chiefly around
q young man who leaves his
sweetheart waiting in the small
town and goes to the city to seek
his fortune. A clerk in q de-
partment store becomes the first
rung in his ladder of success.
Then in a situation which arises,
he offers to draw customers for
his firm by a novel advertising
scheme. The scheme almost
proves his down fall, but he sue
ceeds in surmounting all difficult
ties and mounts higher and high
er-to the arms of the little
sweetheart who is breathlessly
awaiting her hero.
The action of the piece, of
course, centers chiefly around
Lloyd. who carries off the part
with his usual success. This new
role, that of human fly. seems TO
appeal to him and it was quite
evident yesterday that his au-
dience approved Mildred Davis
plays opposite in a role which
gives her little opportunity to
display any real acting ability,
but what we know of the past
will speak for the present.
The theater management has
succeeded in offering a number
of subsidiary attractions that are
above the average and thorough
ly interesting. s. P, Jr.

THEME

If Gladys Walton never actually
was a 'tFollies'' girl, she ought
to have been. In THE Town

starring vehicle presented yester-
day for the first time In Wash
ington as chief feature of the bill
for the first three days of the
present week at Crandall's Thea
ter, Miss Walton is cast ais q
small-town girl who goes to New
York, gets a job in q chorus,
finally makes a hit on Broadway
and finally decides to visit the
folks and give the boys in front
of the postoffice a treat When
she reaches her starting point

down. There is q bit of nasty
scandal tossed to the breeze and
rumor fits all over the place.
Then it occurs to the dancer that
while she was in New York the
men folks from home used to
have a grand time waiting for
her at the jolly old stage door.
So she goes into joint debate
with the league and right there
Is where the fun really begins.

SHE'S A MUCH
PURSUED
HEROINE

The first Katherine Macdonald
vehicle in which "the American
Beauty" has plunged whole
heartedly into the furious action
of a drama of frenzied adven-
ture, apparently oblivious of the
fact that her pulchritude hereto
fore has been looked upon as suf-
ficient justification for her pres
ence on the screen, is on view at
Crandall's Central Theater the
first four days of the current
week. The capacity crowds at
tracted yesterday by Refuge,
the new First National release
staring Miss Macdonald, were
not disappointed in the quality of
the subject which they viewed.
1t is a picture that reveals
wealth of artistic touches in
direction, staging and photog-
raphy in addition to relating a
crashing story of mid European
intrigue, revolution and personal
combat. The narrative centers in
a fight for the throne of Moravia,
the rightful inheritance of Prince
Eugene but plotted for by Ferdi-
nand, the pretender. The beauti-
full countess impersonated by Miss
Macdonald is the one selected by
the expiring king to guard the
secret of the birth certificate
that will calify the line of success
sion. Thus is she made the OBJ
iect Of much of Ferdinand's vii
lainy.
Katherine Macdonald demon
strates in this subject that she
can act as well as look ravishing-
~ lovely. She. is ably supported
by Hugh Thompson, Arthur Ed

THE CAST:

Good, old, lovable Tom Wise re-
turned to his host of Washington
admirers last night at the Shuber.-
Garrick in the able vehicle,
Grumpy" by Horace Hodges and
Wigney Percyval. He fairly won
his audience despite some poor
support by minor characters, some
very audible coaching from be-
hind the scenes, and some rather
radical conversions of his role
which, to US, seemed to help the
play not a bit.
Grumpy" we were led to be-
lieve, was an irrascible old man
bite, despite which, however, was
heart Of gold beneath. Mr.. Wise
has converted his role to that OF
good-humored old gentleman,
babyish in the extreme, with, of
course, the heart of gold.
The play concerns itself with
an English "Raffles,' who in
trudes his person into the home
of Grumpy for the sole reason Of
stealing a large and valuable dld-
mond (Which. by the way, looks
like a piece of camphor), which is
being transported to London by a
Junior official of a jewelry firm
who Is enamored of Grumpy's
daughter.
The custodian Of the precious
gem Is duly assaulted, the theft
effected. and the usual chase be-
gins. the only clue being flower
