picture. Another selling point Is
| play she takes off her we'll known
blond wig, and plays in her own
| raven tresses. Her acting is good
but her looks have not been improved
one bit by this back o-nature move.
One dramatic touch in the play is
a monument to Ingram's ingenuity.
1t is one Of the Outstanding points in
his career, and he should be given a
medal for it, but instead is more in
danger Of losing his union card, as
1t breaks all the laws Of the silver
screen. In the last act the Arab does
not turn out to be the longlost son
of Lord and Lady Lonsbury, stolen
from them when an infant, while they
were travelling through northern
Africa. He turns out to be an Arab.
Ramon Novarro is so good as the
Arab that his race and creed and relt-
gion become OF minor importance.
He out-sheiks all the sheiks that ever
rode an Arabian steed.
However. with all the good points,
it is not a great picture. With all the
fine finish and artisticness 1t cannot
be classed with Rex Ingrams pre-
vious succe sses. because there Is no
real merit in the theme. 1t Is doubt
full whether the story deserves such
length and such an extravagant pro-
duction.

Palace Broken Barriers

Broken Barriers" a Metro-Gold-
wynn production adapted to the screen
by Howard Higgin and saba Cowan
from Meredith Nicholson's story is
an interesting version Of the old-age
problem whether real love can live
and sustain the Sights that newt
ably follow the ignoring of the social
code of convention.
Director Reginald Barker has gath
cred a splendid cast to tell this story,
James kirkwood. Norma Shearer, Mae
Busch (the plucky little actress, who
since her "come-back some months
ago has gone steadily forward), Rob-
Frazer (made famous by his recent
role opposite Pola Negri, in MEM,
George Fawcett, Winifred Bryson.
Vera Reynolds and Robert Agnew all
which at its base is only another
such" in theme.
The story concerns the love Of a
man and girl who find themselves up
against the problem Of ignoring con-
ventionS, the laws of society and
going away together, for the man is
married, and to a woman who though
she does not love her husband and
knows that he no longer loves her,
refuses through warped sense of
revenge on life in general to release
him so that he may form truly
happy alliance.
Whether to go away together, for
feiting the respect of the world or
whether to give each other up for
ever Is question which is finally
settled dramatically but satisfactorily.
The latest of Ralph Graves short
length comedies gives this young
chap, whom one remembers partic
ularly for his excellent work in
Griffith's Dream Street" a new back
ground to work on. He is good, ex-
cellent, but one feels a bit too good
for this type of picture material.
News reels and orchestral music fin
ish the program.

Columbia-"The Arab"

Acting splendid. scenic effects mag
nificent, perturbation superb and a
very trite overworked plot. That
about checks I'D triefy Rex Ingram s
much talked Of photoplay, 1.-THE Arab
that opened yesterday at the Columbia
Theater.
To say that the plot Is hackneyed
is putting it mildly. The story Of a
native that steals away a. white girl
and drags l.er to his den, or hut, or
tent, as the case may be, only to dis
cover just in the nick Of time that
he really loves her, and that "by
heavings not a hair Of her head shall
be harmed" has been done to death
in every setting from Alaska to the
South Sea Islands, and several times
before on the desert. where THE
Arab" of course, is played. This
particular theme of the Arab and his
difficult love drama with the beauti-
full daughter of a missionary was
concocted solely to let Ramon
Novarro take his pet part, and he
does supremely we'll at it.
AS a matter Of fact, the plot doesn't
make a great deal of difference, as
Rex Ingram has done enough en-
bellishing to make it vastly interest
ing, If only from a spectacular point
of view. In the first place, it was
filmed on the real desert, and not IL
California, and the shots around AL
giers and Tunis are truly magnificent.
Battling between the desert tribes is
realistic, picturesque and thrilling.
Also the introduction ofsseveral ex-
cellent foreign players in the minor
roles lends character and color to the

best ventriloQuial artists who ever

boys also play violin and banjo,
while the girl dances cleverly. Toney

virtually everything that a vaudeville
artist can do. He sang, he danced
and he juggled.
The photodramatic adjunct to the
bill features The Spitfire," with Bet
ty Blythe and Elliott Dexter cast in
the leading roles. The story it I'M
folds of proud society girl, honest
to the point Of losing her inheritance
before she would lie, is Interesting.

Enthusiastically Say

Savage Love" a two-reel Christie
comedy, with Jimmie Adams in the
leading role, was shown yesterday and
will be continued through Tuesday at
Crandalrs Ambassador Theater. This
comedy departs slightly from the farce
type that has characterized the earlier
Christie comedies and embraces so
much fast action that it borders on the
slapstick style. However, the situa-
lions are well handled and the general
appearance of the sets, coupled with
the talent used in the leading roles.
makes this one of the best comedies
ever turned out by this company.
Jimmie Adams is cast as the obliging
friend who agrees to impersonate a
cannihal for the purpose of dissuadng
his pals fiance from her determination
to become cannibal missionary. Com
plications, of course, follow. Adams
is supported by Vera Stedman, Jimmie
Harrison, Earl Rodney and Jack Duffy.

MacLean is starred, is an adaptation
of the stage success of William Col

Polls THE Chocolate
Soldier"

| De Wolf Hopper and his company
| of talented artists make their fare
we'll to Washington doubly regretted
by their perfect production of THE
Chocolate Soldier" with which they
close their highly successful season
at Polls Theater this week. 1t would
be hard to imagine q more happy
! combination than Mr.. Hopper and his
| tuneful artists interpreting the enter
tanning roles of The Chocolate Sol
der"
! The humorous story of how hand
some young Lieut.. Bummerli finds
| himself seeking refuge in a beauti-
full lady's boudoir, wearing the uni
| form of an enemy nation, need not
be repeated to theater lovers of
| Washington. so this review will be
| confined to placing merit where it is
| highly deserved.
Mr.. Hopper himself is relegated to
| a comparatively minor role in the
play, but his delightful personality
and sparkling wit make him. never
theless, one of the outstanding char
acterS of the story. To Miss Ethel
Walker, however, who takes the part
! of Nadina Popoff, the young woman
| who conceals the fleeing Lieut. Bum
| merH and then falls in love with him,
belong the highest compliments that
can be bestowed.
Her Interpretation of the part is
perfect and her rendition of that
| never-old melody, MY Hero" is a
real triumph. Last night it wrung
| from the audience SO pronounced a
demonstration of approval that she
was obliged to give several enchores.
| Miss Walker and J. Humbird Duffey,
| the debonair Lieut.. Bummerli, were a
| pair to delight the senses of even the
most hardened critic.
Little Miss Ethel Clark is all that
| could possibly be desired from an
! optical standpoint and her cute man
| ners as Mascha, Nadinas houseguest,
simply captivated every heart in the
house. Nor may the work of Miss
Sarah Edwards, as the wife of Col
Popoff, be overlooked. Arthur Cum
| bingham took the part of a captain
in the Bulgarian army so we'll that
he made himself one of the outstand-
ing characters of the play and his
musical contribution, Seek the Spay,"
was an instantaneous success
Henry Kelly portrayed the role of
the would-be hero, Maj. Sparidoff.
Although Mr.. Kelly seemed to have
some difficulty with several of his
musical numbers, he was good, espe-
cially in his duet with Miss Clark.
The chorus in The Chocolate Soldier"
spends most of it's time furnishing
satisfactory background.
The Chocolate Soldier" brings
back to memory tunes somewhat for
gotten in this Kaleidoscope genera
tfon of scintillating music. and the
change is refreshing, at least. The
story is above reproach and provides
an evening of assured relaxation and
enjoyment. In selecting such a de-
lightful play for his farewell week,
undoubtedly the most entertaining
story of the long list of successful
light opera offered during his six
weeks stay here, Mr.. Hopper has
mSde it impossible for Washington
theater lovers to forget his stay in
the National Capital.

Rialto-" The Turmoil. -

The Turmoil" shown at the Rialto
this week, Is we'll termed by the ad-
vance notices "a study in human
life"-American human life. The pic
ture was made by Universal from
Booth Tarkington's widely read book,
and though in action it departs some
what from the bloodhound form, the
backbone of the theme is there, as
transferred to the screen.
1t is the story of life in the home
of a newly rich family. the father of
whom by dint of constant application
to business" to the elimination of
every other consideration toward his
family and associates, ruins the lives
of two people and almost brings de-
struction upon all his loved ones.
"All my life I have made two blades
of grass grow where one grew
before"-thus the ritual with which
he drives with misguided force his
own sons and boasts before the
whole town of his success. Blinded
in his mad pursuit of gain, power,
achievement, he fails to see the in
sidious forces of evil working in the
heart of his family-three sons and
one daughter, and all on the brink of
danger. Not until his favorite son,
Jim-his real pride-is swept to
death when the dam on which they
have staked so much gives way,
which incident1y is one of the most
realistically spectacular scenes ever
screened, does he literally rub his
eyes and begin to take in the situ-
alton in his home. His eldest SON,
whose wife turns to filtration with
another man to escape the boredom
of loneliness: his youngest son,
dreamer, who wants to write stories,
ald is forced by the impatient father
to work In the boiler shop" thereby
seriously impairing his health; the
dainty little daughter, his baby, who
runs off with a dancing fool" obvi-
ously fortune hunter-all this does
he see and much more, and the bum
Cling manner with which he tried to
piece together all these broken
threads depicts a most pathetically
human character.
Hobert Henley gets the credit for
the direction Of this strong human
subject, and his cast may be said to
be flawless, each character being
chosen with particular aGaptability to
type. Those playing are Emmett
Corrigan, George Hackathorne, Pau
line Garon, Eileen Percy, Theodore
Won Eltz and Edward Hearn.
