PALACE-"Alice Adams.

Pretense. the most overworked trait
in human existence. is the cause or
all the trouble in Alice Adams, the
story for which Booth Harrington
won the 1922 Pulitzer prize for the
best novel of the year. 1t has been
adapted for the screen by Rowland '.
Lee, directed by King Eidor. and is
the feature attraction at the Palace
this week.
Based on the tried and proved
theory that pretending to be what
one is not is the SureSt road to ruin,
this play sticks close to its moral
and rubs the moral in at every turn.
The Adams family has been undoubt-
edly unlucky in the world of social
climbing. A man on moderate
salary. afflicted with a nagging wife.
whose sole interest in life is to push
her son and daughter into the lime
light of society. can be driven to
almost anything. The story of how
Virgil Adams was driven to dishon-
esty and ruin is portrayed in con-
sistent and convincing action, and the
daughter. Alice is fair and un-
vanished picture of what has been
said to he practice characteristic of
many Of our modern girls. The les
4on taught by this role. at any rate.
is one that can be taken close to
heart and given deep thought by
every person who sees the picture
No girl wants to admit that she is
not popular and that she cannot
marry any one of the men she knows
if she so desires. The attempt to
appear a favorite Is sometimes anus
ing, but often pitiful. With Alice
Adams it is pitiful to a degree that
creates only a compassionate SYM
pathy for her. Little deceptions here
and there grow into awesome proper
tions as the days go by, until when
the great crash comes, through the
theft of money by her brDt her, Alice'S
own affairs look mighty blue.
Out of the debris new father and
new Alice come to the surface, but
still the nagging wife and mother
remains true to type and the peren-
nial ding dong continues. The close

METR0P0LITAN-"Girl of the
Golden West"

High in the Sierras, where the
landscape is beyond description. the
screen version of David Belasco s
play. THE Girl of the Golden West
the attraction this week at the
Metropolitan, Is given a magnificent
setting, and so carefully selected has
been the cast of this production by
Edwin Carewe that a gem OF eXqui-
site perfection has been fashioned in
the world of motion picture stage
craft. The remarkable success OF
the original play and its popularity
in grand opera form as the work of
Puccini made it practically certain
that film production would be
warmly welcomed. With the great
mountains of California lending a
background of unequaled beauty and
ton Is almost Incompatible with the
Belasco and Puccini performances.
In the old romantic days of ,4s
when all eyes were turned toward the
gold fields of California, many strange
things happened. Men arrived in
multitudes. but the women were few.
In the wake of sincerely honest dig
gers came the great army of bandits.
the picture deals with the only white
woman on Cloudy mountain and the
great army of men who frequented
the Polka saloon and dance hall
WnlCn Sne COnOucted TOT tnelT rec
reation and entertainment The
Girl" as she is known to the entire
mountain district, is square, honest
and strict in the upkeep of morals
among the patrons of her saloon. A
cheater at "k'yards" is banished from
association with any one else in the
community, though not allowed to
leave. Every mothers son of them
is in love with The Girl. but all save
one of them has the good sense not
to make proposal of marriage.
The bandit element is also intro
duced, including hold-up of the
stagecoach and a plot to rob the
Polka. How The Girl unconsciously
changes the plans of the bandit chief
is a story romantic enough to please
the most sentimental. and at the same
prefer the dramatic. Gamblers are
her daily and only companions. She
knows and respects the game" and
when the life of the man she loves is
at stake it is quite in keeping with
the surroundings of the situation
that she plays to win or lose that
,ife.

TWO.MINUTE TALKS ON
SAFETY.
No. Ia.
HOOKING A RIDE.

Hundreds of young children
have been crippled for life and
some killed instantly by the
dangerous practice OF hooking
a ride" on. a wagon or automo-
bile.
Small boys. and sometimes
girls too, seem to think 1t smart
to catch on the tailboard of a
wagon or automobile truck
and hang there. getting a free
ride for a block or two.
Accidents have occurred be-
cause a child loses it's hold,
falls to the ground and is run
oyer by, an automobile or car
coming from behind; because
the vehicle following does not
stop in time. but crushes the
child against the one to which
II is holding; because the vehi-
Gle may suddenly start faster
or turn a corner too fast,
throwing the child to the
ground with considerable force;
or because the child let's go and
darts out to one side directly
in front of vehicle coming
from the opposite direction.
Ice wagons have been the
cause of many serious acci-
dents to children who climb on
the rear step to get a piece of
ice. and who are thrown off
when the driver starts off with
out knowing they are there.
The practice of children on BIZ
cycles or roller skates holding
on to automobiles is equally
productive of accidents.
The responsibility for injuries
of this kind rests in n large
part upon the parents. who
should teach their children the
dangers or the practice. 1t Is
also the duty of all drivers to
prohibit children from hooking
on" to their wagon or auto
mobile whenever they know it.
Never allow any one to ride on
the running board. tenders or
bumpers of your ear.
These practices besides being
dangerous are prohibited by
the traffic regulations of the
District of Columbia.
