carries in his waistcoat pocket.

q Mexican jumping bean.
If an ''oil king or o. sugar

should step up and ask me to be

cellars and cake-eaters. Rather

She has one Of those dispositions
that seem to curdle Immediately
after marriage. I'll used slang. I
might, under provocation, call her
a piece of cheese But then,

who insists upon wearing bright

wrong, Clarice.
If I choose to wear q ring on my

After hearing some Of the men
who come in to see the chief and
talk politics, I have reached the
conclusion that the human race
would be better off IL it used its
own domes and didn't delegate its
thinking to self-appointed man
ayers. Nowadays 1t seems to be
pro bonehead publico.

Don't Marry for Money

Despite the fact that It is made
up of a series of familiar incidents.
Don't Marry for Money" at Gram
dalrs Ambassador, is a pleasing new
screen production dealing with the
eternal triangle"
The scenic effects are artistic, the
sets massive and the excellent act
ing of House Peters, Rubye de Remer
and Cyril Chadwick tends to keep up
the interest in the story. which ends
in a manner that would furnish
counter argument for it's title.
The story concerns q poor but
pretty girl who is restless under the
dullness OF her life in a small town
She comes to the city and deliberate
" plots to wed the wealthiest bach
elor in New York. But the glamour
of the great white way" proves too
much and she accepts the attentions
CT a scheming adventurer The hus-
band discovers it and various dra-
matio scenes follow. which give those
playing the principal roles an oppor-
tunity to present excellent character
interpretations
The drama ends with the final
reconciliation of the husband and
wife over the dead body Of the viii
lain. A comedy, featuring VIII
Rogers: the Pathe News. a travel
picture and Mozart's THE Magic
Flute" excellently played by the or
chestra. complete an entertaining

1t is being shown elsewhere at the
regular theater rates. The Rialto
management Is specially featuring 1t
at its regular rates.
Marion Davies, the pretty blonde
star, does what is undoubtedly the
best acting of her career in the role
of Patricia O'Day. She makes
courageous, lovable little heroine of
the character and photographs beau
tifully in the bargain. Harrison Ford
as Larry Delavan is equally sympa-
thetic in his Interpretation. Other
well known screen stars make In
teresting portraits of Washington
Irving, John Jacob Astor. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Robert Fulton and Del
monico.
The settings and costumes are true
to the times and make lovely pictures.
The interest does not lag a moment
during the entire action of the story.
The momentous suspense of the first
trip of Fnltons little steamer, the
Clermont; the excitement of a prize
fight between the biggest bully In
town and an ambitious young fighter.
and the horrors of the pillory and
whipping post are vividly portrayed
The music as directed by George
Wild and presented for the most part
by the orchestra was harmonious to
the picture. Owing to the length OF
the feature, no additional films are
shown

"A Woman of Paris. -

A movie to run two weeks in
Washington must be something
above the average in excellence. This
seems to be true of "A Woman of
Paris" which packed Loew's Colum-
bia yesterday afternoon and last
night.
There is a consistent story run
ming through the picture, showing
the whims of women and the little
things that change the entire lives
of those interested. Edna Purviance
gives a remarkable Interpretation of
a woman who loves luxury above
sincere affection. She also appears
in marvellous gowns. The big scenes
are all laid in Paris and show ex-
travagant crowds in the cabarets.
The poorer side of the gay city also
is presented.
Charles Chaplin is the producer of
the picture and is also it's author,
which shows that the clever comedian
knows the public and need not
depend on his comedy work alone
to tide him over cold winter. The
added attractions are full of inter-
est. making the evenings entertain
rnent one of unusual merit.

OF the three headliners at the Strand
Theater this week, Dancing Shoes"
a Tiny Turek presentation, featuring
Marcia Compton. an excellent singer
and dancer, and five clever young
steppers, is adequately staged and
costumed and devotes itself almost
exclusively to dancing of the hard
and soft shoe variety. 1t presents
some of the most difficult, intricate
and graceful of steps and won in
stant and hearty recognition yester-
day.
Harry and Willie Lander a pair of
real honest-to-goodness comedians,
offer pills for His and add to their
past reputation as funmakers. Bobby
Heath and Adele Sperling, in "Persi-
f1age," likewise have a good line of
chatter and songs. Lee Mason. with
Stan Scott at the piano. also wins the
big hand. Miss Mason has a line of
exclusive songs.
The photoplay Crooked Alley" a
picture of one Of Jack Boyle's Bos-
ton Blackie stories, is entertaining
throughout.

Doug Fairbanks. Jr.. In
Stephen Steps Out"

Douglas Fairbanks, jr., steps OUT
as well as the boy hero he portrays
at LoeW'S Palace Theater this week
steps out in "a lively manner to prove
that he is, indeed, a chip off the old
block, for he scales walls. climbs to
perilous heights and rambles around
on balconies and roofs with an asil-
ity which rivals that of his famous
daddy. The winning Fairbanks
smile" is there. too, and every time
it flashed upon the scene yesterday
a whispered murmur ran through the
audience to the effect that the boy
was Doug" all over again.
But this youthful newcomer to the
screen is not the only reason that
stephen Steps Out" is good enter
tainment. Richard Harding Davis
wrote the story, which grips the in
terest from the opening scene to the
final fadeout. Perhaps this seen\ all
the more remarkable when one don-
sders that. it is a story without a
heroine. and, in fact, presents only
one woman in the entire cast. the
sweet. elderly wife of an old profess
sor. However. the audience doesn't
even notice the lack of love interest
because 1t is so busy enjoying the
schoolboy pranks of stephen and his
crowd and later his thrilling adven-
lures in Turkey. whittier he has been
dispatched with n tutor to study the
history of the country 1t first hand.

The Vir9inian." :"

owen WisterS famous novel, The
Virgtnian," dedicated by the author to
Theodore Roosevelt, and depicting the
life of twenty years ago on the cattle
ranches Of Wyoming. is presented in
motion picture version at the Presi
dent this week. having been adapted
by Hope Loring and Louis d. Lighton
and produced by Tom Forman.
The screen drama compares ad-
mirably with the stage production of
some years ago, with William S. Hart
and Dustin Farnum In the title role.
Kenneth Harlan Is cast this time as
the gallant son of the Old Dominion,
and Florence Nidor plays Molly Wood
the New England girl who is to be
the school teacher in Medicine Hat,
Wyo. Other members of the cast are
Pat O'Malley, Russell Simpson, Sam
Allen and Raymond Hatton.
Faithful to the original story are the
incidents of the drunken driver pre-
cipitating the stagecoach. which Is
carrying the now school teacher to
Medicine Hat. into a rocky stream;
tthe roundup of the cattle rustlers;
the mixing up of the babies at the
dance for Molly; the grief OF the
Nirginian over the tragic deaths of
Steve and Shorty, and Shorty's pas
sionate hope to own an accordion.
When Molly left New England for
the great adventure in the west she
didn't know much about the differ
ences between people of widely sepa-
rated sections of the country. Neither
was there much understanding on the
part of the frontiermen concerning
the ways of New England folk and
southerners. The Virginian, however,
maintains the balance by sympa-
thetic appreciation of human nature,
refined and in the raw. that keeps the
action tame enough to please the over
sensitive and lively enough to appeal
to adventure-seeking soul. Molly falls
in love but the road Is not a smooth
one, for her lover has become western
lied and must administer justice in the
custom of the land. The Virgin!an
loves Molly devotedly, but love can
not stand in the way of duty. Then
he is wounded and Molly discovers
him in raving - irium and carries
him to her boarding house. She learns
a new angle of the man and things
brighten during his convalescence
but on the wedding day duty again
bars the way to haDninnsr
and. of course. brings the reward Of
happiness.

trayal of the cartoon characters Fun
