 AS Millett had predicted, 1t was wet and checrless outside. The canvas of the heavy Sandakan chairs were black with moisture. the cane krosl were equally un- usable. The keen odor of damp earth hung everywhere. The assistant set the lamp in the center of the sitting room table and pushed a chair toward Corrigan. They sat down simultaneously and Millett opened one of the bottles.

The White Sister.

"The White Sister," Henry Kings
superb film version of Marion Craw-
ford's famous story, began an en-
gagement at the Palace Theater yes
terday. The picture was filmed in
Italy and is a masterpiece of photo
graphic art. 1t also has drama tic
story that for power of theme and
ly been equaled on the screen. 1t
holds the attention from the first
screen to the last.
1t is hardly necessary to go into
detailed description of this story of
the fair young girl who, through the
cruel jealousy of the stepSister, is de-
prived of her luxurious home on the
death of her father and sent, an out
cast, to live as best she can,
as the picture was shown In
Washington earlier this season and
reviewed in detail at that time. Suf-
ficient to say, the tale has vivid,
dramatic plot unfolded by excellent
characterization on the part of the
cast, with Lillian Gish, perhaps the
most ethereal personality on the
screen, as the unfortunate Donna
Angela.
THE White Sister" is now being
presented at popular prices and the
size of the audiences indicates that
the people of Washington have real
interest in fine pictures.
Outstanding Photographic scenes
are those of Vesuvius in eruption and
scenes in the African desert
Owing to the length of the feature,

him the favor of women. and, what
means more to him, the smile of
king who had been his longtime
patron and friend.
The eStrangement reaches its Break
ing point when the monarch, prom
enading the Mall with Byron. refuses
to recognize Brummel in the presence
of the whole court. This cut-direct
means that the Beau has had his day,
but, in falling. he fires his last shaft
of insolence by asking Byron the
question that history forever asso-
ciates with his corpulent majesty,
who is your fat friend% And a
bubbling chuckle gave notice that
the audience knew it's little book.
The shadows grow darker in Calais,
where the former power of the court
goes with but one friend-his former
valet-a role in which Alexander
Francis challenges spotlight .promi-
nence with the star, and the love OF
the girl. Margery. whom Brummel
had truly worshiped. but who had
been forced into marriage with
title.
Barrymore conveys very real
sense of loyalty to his youthful de-
votion by the grim coldness with
which he escapes a somewhat torrld
love attack by a lady whose noble
fires in the air, and the nobleman
defeated of revenge. insists that the
victor shall marry his wife after he
has divorced her. The Beau saves
himself by persuading King George
to take notion to the lady. And
then regrets his act when he sees
the pathos of the Duchess of York,
who truly loves her gallivanting
spouse.
Poverty and illness bring the action
to the prison hospital, where the
Beau degene2tes into shuftiing
creature given to illusions. These
Inst steps of a downward career are
remiScent of Barrymore'S former sue
cess, in that the Beau becomes Mr..
Hyde-notably when fronting the
audience from behind a barred win
dow his face visions insanity set to
agonized laughter. Both the king
and the girl he had loved have died
and his delirium pictures the former
radeship, and the latter approaching
with the youthfulness of her apple
blossom days Neither of these
figures is of the aloofness Of some
other "super" Photographic ghosts
that have come this way. but the final
the dead body of the aged beggar
and his happy meeting with the girl
wrath make a joyful ending Of an
unconventional kind.
Motion picture adaptions seldom
run true to the fiction from which
they are taken, but it would seem
that a historical figure should stay
"put"-and history tells US that Beau
Brummel had a fortune from his
father and kept up his magnificence
for over twenty years, and that he
owed much of his charm at court to
the same inscrutable popularity at
oxford.
The king was satisfyingly in line
with all descriptions of that monarch,
and the acting, to the least important
character, was consistently good.
