"SURE FIRE FLINT"
Johnny Hines Has Exciting Times al
* Princess This Week.

Johnny Hines went through six
reels of threatening disaster at the
Princess Sunday in Sure Fire Flint n
which showed complication upon com.
plication adding up for him, but each
time he escaped by the skin of his
teeth. Johnny Hines is improving in
his acting and bids fair to become a
comedian.
"Sure Fire Flint" was originally a
story published in Ace High maya
zine and the thrills of the story are
well produced on the screen.

METROPOLITAN-Harold Lloyd,
in "Dr. Jack"

Not a few of the leading critics
who have consented by this time to
take the motion pictures seriously
are watching with keen interest and
much mmendation the advance in
the work of Harold Lloyd. who is
planting himself firmly in the front
rank of really clever comedians In
"Dr. Jack" shown at the Metropoli-
tan Theater this week, Mr.. Lloyd is
at his best. He employees what little
slap-stick comedy he requires in the
most effective manner possible and
depends largely on his facial express
sions and personal gestures to get
his comedy effects to the audience.
That he succeeds was more than
proved by the gales Of laughter
which echoed through the packed
evening. After seeing this picture
one does not hesitate to agree with
the critic who places Lloyd and Bus
ter Keaton as second only to Chaplin
himself in their comedy artistry.
The story of DR.. Jack is simple and
refreshing in it's idea 1t Is the tale
of a young physician who places
common sense before everything and
who studies the psychology. of his

PRESIDENT-"Cornered."

One of the severe tests of a play
er's ability Is a dual role-to imper-
senate two distinct personalities. Miss
Wanda Lyon. the President Players
new leading woman. is called upon to
accomplish that feat in "Cornered,"
which opened at the President Thea

parts in highly satisfactory man.

obliged to ignore several times in the
earlier part of the play. Her inter-
probation Of the roles Of two sisters
one rich. petted and well bred, the
other poor, neglected, the associate Of
dope fiends and thieves-was really
meritorious. Being endowed with un-
usual talent, Miss Lyon has a per-
sonality that counts.
The story of "Cornered" concerns
mainly the lives of two girls. Mar
garet Waring, the rich girl, and Mary
Waring, alias Mary Brennan, the pal
of crooks. Mary, however, still clings
to an innate refinement she inherited
from her parents, although her origin
is unknown to her. When Margaret

actly alike.

young doctor and the fate of his
castle of dreams form the details on
which; the rest of the story is based.
The entire cast Is also fully compe-
tent.
The other feature on this double
comedy bill which has brought to
Washington two wholesome pictures
that make the audience forget tenn
porarily their personal troubles and
feel that the world has not gone to
the dogs as yet. is that comedian of
the rope, Will Rogers, who also en-
ploys a subtle type of comedy. In

which equals the ride of Ichabod
Crane himself in its comic possibilt-
ties.

bill, which is absolutely one OF the
best ever shown in this city and

Back in the days when Theodore

and shown at Moore's Rialto this
week.
A great pine forest Of Michigan is
the basis of the story, which deals
with the passion of an old man to
turn trees into lumber and the de-
termination of a girl to carry on
the trust placed upon her by her
the great forest he has kept from
the clutches Of the lumber kings.
There are thrills aplenty as the
story unfolds-thrills that breed in
the hearts of all mankind the whole

how to battle and conquer the forces

blazing forest is another. while still
another is the driving OF a locomo.

How the pampered son of the rich
