CRANDALL'S-
Jackie COOgan.

Jackie Coogan's best picture,
Long Live the King" is the at
traction at Crandall's Theater to-
day and tomorrow. In this sub
ject, Mary Roberts Rinehart has
supplied the eight-year-old genius
with a superb story of lErrlgue
and a boy prince; a romance Of
golden youth, royal love and ad-
venture.
AS has been the case in every
picture in which he has ever
appeared, Jackie completely domi-
mates the action of the drama
despite the fact that he is sur

ond week at Loew's Columbia.
This is the production which re.

tress and which for splendid
beauty of settings, stands in
separate class.
Robert z. Leonard directed Miss
Murray in Fashion Row." which
was specially written for the star
by Sada Cowan and Howard

is the dual role it offers Miss
Murray. The cast includes Earle

A new Mack Sennett comedy,

THE JAZZ AGE
AS FABIAN
SEES IT

If youth must drink the wine
OF life from the cup Of expert
ence. then a toast to, Warner
Fabian. who has, sage-like, tossed
few suggestions OF a torchistic
nature, or some timely warnings
1--WE leave it to YOU across the
route of folly. AS was evinced
by the throng that yesterday
crowded the Metropolitan to over
flowing, Flaming YOUTH" First
Nationals adaptation Of the novel
by the same name, held the maxi
mum of allurement. And what
comments!
We will not stop to bicker or
advance opinions as to Flaming
Youth" Ohe novel;. Facts are
facts, and, as Bacon said, "the
more a man drinketh of the
world, the more it intoxicateth;"
but it's his business if he sips
the flowing bowl, SO why worry?
Flaming Youth" as a picture
is a celluloid reflection in all its
possibilities of the handiwork of
the author with an antitoxin in
lection for the so-called modern
tits germ. Bizarre, yes; jazzy,
flashing, daring in places.
AS Pat Fentress, the child; the
dazzling, butterfly-creature fitting
through life; as Patricia, the more
sober and disillusioned girl with
a discreet wOman's philosophy,
Colleen Moore is given her best
and possibly most elastic role.
She is the focus of the piece, out
shining the entire group of her
supporters.
The balance of the cast Is
notable for the distinguished
names. Milton Stills, Elliott Dex-
ter, Myrtle Stedman, Betty Fran
cisco, Sylvia Dreamer. Walter
McGrail, Phillips Smalley and
Ben Lyon. From such a we'll
known assemblage, we would
draw the name of Myrtle Sted-
man as worthy of mention. Mil
ton Stills and Elliott Dexter both
take themselves far too seriously.
If youth is flaming, why inter-
pref 1t passively?
BY way Of summary: Flaming
Youth" is faithfully and artist
cally screened. Some exterior
scenes are particularly note
worthy. The photography and
direction are good, but the act
ing, for the most part, is not up
to the standard.
A particularly entertaining and
novel musical program under the
Breeskin stimulus introduces a
bevy of Washington maids who
created no little enthusiasm. All
in all, a jazzy-good bill.-W. S. p,

Richard Carrie is completing a

STRAND HAS
A HAPPY
BILL

Barring one or two moments
and since there's no accounting
for the public's taste it is better
to leave them unnamed-the bill
at the Strand this week Is Of ex-
ceptional merit. 1t is well-balanced,
has plenty Of pep, and the cinema
half of the offering is away above
the average.
The Geraldine Miller Trio opens
proceedings with snappy ath-
letic and posing act that deserves
better than first position on any
bill. These three are as graceful
as they make EN-, and do some
interesting stunts into the bar
gain.
Bert Grant and Mildred Feeley
come next. Grant is as unbeauti-
full to look at as his songs are
agreeable to listen to-and he has
composed such hits as IF You
Knock the L Out of Kelly" SO you
can guess he's no Adonis. He
makes up for it with his ability
at the piano. His partner is as
different as day is from night.
She's one of the easiest young
women to look at you'll find in a
month of Sundays, and her voice
rates about as high. Grants
newest sing, Where the Blue Be-
gins" seems destined to be a hit.
Ward and Bohlman, in after
the Banquet" follow. Their
comedy last night drew quite a
hand. The house seemed to like
McDevitt, Kelly and Quinn also.
The latter act is that perennial
favorite, 1.-THE Piano Movers and
the Actress"
The big vaudeville feature this
week is Eddie Cooks act, where
in he is very ably assisted by
Dorothy and Gladys Shaw, two
very young and very talented
young girls who play violins and
pianos and generally disport them
selves for the delectation of the
delighted gathering. Cook leases
a saxophOne "a mean one-as
though he knew something about
it. Great stuff!
A dandy cast puts over Univer-
sails white Tiger the film offer
ing, with a loud detonation. Pris-
ella Dean heads the troupe, and
Matt More, the ebullient Raymond
Griffith and the delectable Wal
lace of the Berry tribe back her
up. It's a crook tale that hits
a higher note than most Universal
productions of the same sort.

turned back to the period in
which New York was just emery

entire play, with scenic, costume

DIRECTIONS; A
GOOD CAST,
BUT

We don't know just what to say
about 1.-The Man Life Passed BY"
the picture which is gracing the
screen at Loew's Palace this
week. 1t has some. wonderful
scenes, which go to the extreme
in both wealth and poverty. 1t
has a cast which is rich in por-
travail of the silent drama and 1t
has as q director O man who has
attained fame in that line. De-
spite this lineup we must admit
that 1.-THE Man Life Passed By"
falls short somewhere of being a
good picture.
The cast includes Percy Mar
mont, Jane and Eva NoVak,
Hobart Bosworth, Cullen Lands,
Lydia Knott and George Seig-
mann. The picture takes one
from scenes in the slums to
scenes of gorgeous wealth and
from a perturbation of perfect
virtue to one of utter degradation
in morals. We are even presented
with a Roman revel in which all
the participants are draped in old
Roman costumes, and a garden is
turned into an arena with raised
dais in the center filled with
pretty girls.
The story takes the type Of per-
feet young man, we thought had
succumbed in the Garden Of Eden,
and proceeds to prove to him by
one misfortune after another that
this world is mo good" When it
gets him to the point where he
is contemplating killing the man.
who caused his downfall by steal
ing and invention which he had
spent years in perfecting. 1t
throws in his way another Car
den of Edenite, in the form OF a
beautiful and wealthy young girl
who maintains Helping HAND
Mission" for the downtrodden
ones. Through her he conquers
revenge and is started once more
on the upward path. Percy Mar
mont is the perfect young man
and Jane Novak is the perfect
Young woman. Their characters
are two darn good-they're pos
sible, but not probable. Besides
this love story there is another
minor one that runs through the
story. Eva Novak and Cullen
are the characters In this one.
Eva Novak does justice to her
role but it would seem that 1t
would be a great benefit to the
screen career Of Cullen lands II
he would hire a masseur to loosen
up the muscles of his face.

CENTRAL
''The Virginian."

The Central Theater offers for
the first four days Of this week
a delightful perturbation of the
American novel, THE Virginian,"
by Owen Wister. 1t carries one
back to the West that was, when
men made their own laws and
saw the penalty Of breaking them
paid; back to the days of the
stage coach and cattle rustlers.
There will always remain the
beauties of the Western noun
tains and plains, which the direc-
tor, Tom Forman, has well re-
tanned in the unusual photography
of the picture.
The story is of a cowboy, reared
in Virginia, who falls in love with
a young schoolteacher from Yer
mont. Her puritan principles
clash with those Of the Virginian.
Hanging for cattle stealing, to
her, is murder, and when he, as
foreman, allows the law to take
its course and hang his pal, it
seems that she will leave him for
ever. But she does not go. A
bullet, sent from the leader of
the thieves whom the Virginian
has trailed, fells him. She goes
to his rescue and nurses him back
to health. It is while he is in
his dilemma that she learns his
true worth, and all ends happily
on the eve of their wedding day.
As 1.-The Virginian" we see 8
new better Kenneth Harlan. and
Florence Vidor is splendid in the
role of Molly Wood, the school
teacher. A large supporting cast
includes Russell Simpson, Ray.
mond Hatton and Pat O'Mallcy.
The bill also includes "Sing EN-
Again." a novelty in the form of
visualized songs, which the audi
ence is requested to sing. Kino-
grams and organ music complete
the program. f. l.. p.

acters will appear in the cast,

The company will arrive in Wash

rehearsals, but, owing to the

features, the first presentation
will not be given until Wednesday
