STRAND BILL
STRONG TN
NOVELTY

There is an exceptional variety
of vaudeville talent at the Strand
this week, a gathering of vaude-
artists who present every desired
bit of entertainment, from music,
song. and dance to a seldom-seen
ventriloquial novelty.
Marshall Montgomery, dean of
ventriloquists, heads this program
with his unique oddly, entitled
An Evening at Home" Many
ventriloquists have been seen in
Washington during the present
season, but few can compare with
Montgomery.
La Ear and Dale, blackface art
lists, in skit termed THE Ba-
gooma Hunters" and the
Fletcher Clayton Revue, in
snappy presentation of song,
dance, youth and syncopation, are
also contenders for headline hon
ors. The offering of La Ear and
Dale is truly a blackface classic
in comedy. while the Fletcher,
Clayton Revue is a breeze from
musical comedy.

GARRICK-
"Gertie's Garter"

The quest of Gertie's elusive
garter continues at the Garrick
this week, where George Marshalls
comedians are giving a delightful
Interpretation of Avery Hopwood's
breezy farce.
Getting Gertie's Garter" is one
of the liveliest of the versatile Hap
woods works.
A jazz orchestra helps a lot to
add to the pleasure of an evening
at the coy Garrick playhouse,
where "Gertie" bids fair to repeat
her success in Baltimore. even
though the play was presented
here for three weeks last summer.
Miss George Hall, the girl with
the garter, is a petite blond who
possesses a fascinating personality
and incidentally proved to be a
highly capable Coincidence. Nat
urally she carries off the chief hon
ors of the play. In striking con-
trast to the leading woman is Miss
Jean Downs, whose dark beauty is
displayed to rare advantage in the
role of Barbara, Gertie's sister.
Miss Fay Cusick is another gifted
young actress who has an impor-
tant role, which she interprets eff
fectively. Among the male con-
tingent. Joseph Crehan, jerome
Renner and Louis Haines bear the
chief comedy burdens of the eve
ming, and help to make Getting
success.

A drama of striking contrasts
Is unfolded with a wealth of
spectacular effects and a deep
note of human nature in Poor
Mems Wives" presented for
the first time in Washington at
Crandall's Central this. week. 1t
is emphaticaIly a picture that all
will enjoy to the utmost.
The story traces the experiences
of two young models in the shop

regular party. The gayety, the
lights, the music, the flowers, the
jewels completely turn the wife's
head and then follows a series of
complications that lend the pic
ture irresistible climacteric force
and a quality of absorbing inter
est.
Betty Francisco is cast as the
butterfly and Barbara La MARI
as the drudge. Miss La MARI has
never brought finer or more
convincing portrayal to the
screen. David Butler does an
equally impressive piece of work
as the chauffeur husband. Gas
nier's direction is flawless and
the photography is remarkably
good, especially in the gorgeous
: costume ball scenes with their
: riots of color and action.
Poor Mems Wives" is present
ed with unusual musical and
scenic effects and is supplemented
by new comedy.

Players are continuing this week
in "Six- Cylinder Love-" the play
of love and motoring which ran
for more than a year at the Sam
H. Harris Theater in New York,
and which is new repeating its
New York success here. The story
deals with the struggles of a newly
married young man to support an
automobile that Is a bit too expen-
sive for him, particularly since
it's possession brings on his back
a fine set Of leeches, who permit
him to entertain them night after

The play has appealed highly to
President patrons during its run
here, more strongly than any other
President offering since "Abie's
Irish Rose" There is a real plot
to the piece, and 1t reflects human
nature pretty strongly. 1t is Will

in releasing this amazing revela-
ton of the hidden mysteries of

portray the fantastic beauty.
What has been locked in the

Again Charlie Chaplin ambles

at Loew's Palace this week. This
film brings Mabel Normand and
provides for her story of en-
chantment and charm; surrounds
her with beautiful backgrounds
and then supplies her with a.
supporting cast so excellent that it
completely overshadows the work
of the star herself!
To be true, Mabel Nermand
never did much save extremely
light farce work-and when she
attempted something little
heavier only sheer rushing action
on the part Of the story itself
masked, in a measure, her short
comings. But in Suzanne"
there is no rushing action--ex-
GLIDING one or two spots-and the
star suffers thereby, for there
are not enough opportunities for
her to display her real ability as

called upon to do too much emo

show is a 10-reel romp in
hodge-podge of nonsense which
begets continuous chuckles and
barrages, now and anon, OF
outlaws that can't be restrained.
That he is not all Zany, Mr..
