FARCECOMEDYAT
MOORE'S
RIALTO

Wisdom was not buried with
Solomon. The management Of
Moore's Rialto displayed quite a
bit when, having in mind that
nature would stage her cherry
blossom show this week, It chose
a feature with so intriguing a
title as Excitement" to compete
for crowds-and succeeded yes
terday in getting them.
And those crowds had no occa-
sion to regret their choice. A
nature show equalling that in
Potomac Park was provided In
the settings of the feature and
the added attractieHran episode
in the famous Chronicles OF
America" which had it's first
showing in the city.
Also, Excitement" is we'll
named. Laura La Plante, as Mia
Lyons, sees that there is plenty of
it, we'll seasoned with fun. Result
-Nila's parents take a rest cure
at a secluded sanitarium; Mia,
who in the first reel declares she
can not live without excitement.
admits in the last one that she
can stand no more. while the
audience would like another reel or
two.
In this picture Miss La Plante
makes her debut as a star, and
one wonders how she escaped
notice so long. The action moves
swiftly and merrily forward so
long as she Is about. and IN only
one scene does it drag-the one
in which she has no part.
Clever subtitles, good direction
and an able supporting cast all
have a share in making this one
of the good farce comedy-dramas
of the year.
1.-THE Gateway to the West"
portrays George Washington as
a young officer sent by Governor
Dinwiddie to Fort lie Boeuf, to
protest against Frances occupa-
ton of the Ohio wilderness, and
the result of this mission. The
Yale University Press sponsor for
the picture. is to be congratulated
on this effort to administer his
tory in delightful doses.
Added to the already generous
bill are: more laughs, instigated
by Hal Roach's rascals, pleasing
cello numbers by Richard Lorle-
berg, interpretive music by the
orchestra, and Fox News reel.

STRAND

It takes a show somewhat above
the average to offer any opposl-
ton to the call of spring days.
but the Strand Theater puts in a
strong bid this week with five
acts Of vaudeville and photoplay
that make a good bill.

and best of all, youth. Bernard
Wheeler and Adele Potter offer a
humorous skit entitled "Smithy.

Wheeler has the proper long ap-
pendages for eccentric dancing,
and uses them to advantage.
Five Lealands open the bill in
Juggling Human Beings" They
are the usual acrobats. but boast
a woman in the troupe who bal
ances two men on her shoulders.
Somewhat Of a novelty is the
offering of George Stanley and
