MET. WILL SHOW
O'NEILL FILM

"Anna Christie" Thomas H.
Ince's vivid film version Of Eu-
gene O'Neill's famous drama, will
be the principal feature next week
at Crandall's Metropolitan. This
absorbing and widely celebrated
play was the Pulitzer prize win
ner Of 1922 and offers one OF the
most penetrating studies of GER
tain aspect Of American life that
has ever been brought to the
screen. The central characters
are Anna Christie, daughter Of
Chris" Cristophemson an old
sea dog who wrecks her life while
intent on saving 1t, Christ, the well
intentioned father totally misled
in his notions of how best to
protect a young girl and Matt
Burke, the young Irish giant who
comes out Of a storm at sea into
the life Of Anna whom he in
spires to a new standard Of living
by his faith in her decency.

"THE FOOL" TO
BE HELD
OVER

Claiming Pollock's successful
and much discussed drama, "The
Fool" has made such an i'm.
preston upon Washington play
goers that the management has
decided to hold over the attrac-
ton for a second week at the
Shubert- Belasco Theater, begin.
ming Monday night.
The widespread discussion on
the policies and theological pur-
pose of the preacher in the Pol.
lock play has served to add fuel
to the feud between the funda-
mentalists and the modernists Of
the modern church, and Incl
dentally to awaken the keenest
interest among those who visit
the theater rarely, and then only
to view established hits. The
question broadly propounded is
whether a minister of the gospel
can make a success Of the plan
to live his life as Christ would
live it were He on earth again.
"The Fool" is not preachment
nor a document Of good deeds
patterned after any play. nor a
sermon Of the pulpit. It hap
pens to be a drama based on life.

PLAY. AT
RAMS HEAD
THEATER

Eugene O'Neill's "Gold," as
presented by the Rams Head
Players. contributes to a satisfy
ing Washington season of dra-
matte entertainment. A power
full play knit by a skillful crafts
man, with a fullsome measure Of
those clashes of forces that we
term drama.
1t is a story Of seafolk, with
that "old devil sea" the ominous
background, though not the domi-
mating influence throughout. 1t
is more a story Of a mans lust
for wealth and the supremacy Of
the bestial elements in his nature
over his God-fearing instincts.
There was once propounded the
question whether one would, to OBJ
tain a great fortune, kill by a sin
gle thought an aged mandarin in
distant China. The sea captain
in this story murders two mem
bers OF his crew by thought,
fearful that they may obtain the
treasure he has discovered while
shipwrecked in the Malay islands.
Throughout the story he pro-
tests to a rebellious conscience
that he didn't give the word"
did not actually order the men
slain-that he only thought it.
O'Neill shows the dire results on
ones own nature Of thus playing
with a thought.
There is an undeniab1e punch
throughout the O'Neill script
which barely energies from the
latent stage, in its current presen-
tation. We thought the scene
picturing the old captains despair
at learning his ship had deserted
him, underplayed. There seemed
uncertainty, also, as to what de-
gree Of emphasis and latitude was
allowable in that dramatic high
light where the castaways fancy
they see the ship returning and
footsteps are actually heard on
the stairway.
Walter Beck's Characterization
Of the sea captain Is splendid.
Arthur J. Rhodes is equally ex-
cellent as the thoroughly bad
boatswain. Ranald Slavery and
Josephine Hutchinson deserve
praise for their execution Of diff
ficult roles.-S. p.

FURRIN' STUFF
TOPS KEITH'S

1t is a bill Of somewhat inter.
national scope that is promised
at Keith's for next week. Taking
top place is Odette Myrtil, the
charming French volinist, who is
known as 1.-THE. Girl With the
Dancing Eyes" She is assisted
by Laurette Boucher and James
Alderman.
A most extraordinary act is
the added attraction, the first
American appearance Of The De
Marcos, dancing idols Of South
America, who carry their own
orchestra composed Of the Seven
Musical Sheiks.
Next comes Bird Millman, the
: little Queen Of the Wire, who re-
turns to vaudeville after several
successful years with the circus
and the Ziegfeld and Greenwich
Village Follies. Frank Davis and
Adele Darnell present some
amusement goodies in the form
Of a novelty comedy which they
call "Caterpillars." Wilfred
Clarke, an actor Of note, will APP
pear in another of his success
, full farces, Nov What"
Charles Crafts and Jack Haley
bring down the laughs in their
humorous interlude "Laughics Of
the Day." The dainty and clever
Adelaide Bell offers a number of
attractive dance numbers, and
Montana, the cowboy banjoist, not
only makes the banjo talk as he
walks about the stage but he sets
the style for new and nifty
Western outfits.

A WAR ROMANCE
PLUS LOTS
OF SPICE

William A. Brady in association
with the Washington Theater
Guild will offer next Sunday night
one of the seasons real dramatic
treats. For the FIRST tim on
any stage Robert Keable's famous
novel, Simon Called Peter" which
has been dramatized by Jules
Eckert Goodman, will be present
ed with an augmented cast.
Goodman, who is best recalled
as the author Of 1.-THE Man Who
Came Back" is said to have
found in the Keable volume the
meaty background for an en-
crossing play. The central theme
Of the novel is daring in type, but
the producers assert that in the
dramatic handling of the princi-
pal characters nothing will be
offered that can offend. Simon
Called Peter" tells the romantic
story of a war chaplain, and is
packed to the brim with interest
ing situations and dialogue.
Noah Tearle has been especially
engaged for the role of Peter Ora
ham. He Is a recognized star as
leading man, and comes to Wash
ington after Metropolitan tri-
umphs. Peggy Coudray as Julie"
will have the most ambitious role
she has yet attempted. Frances
Lightner and June Webster will
play Madeline" and Tommy"
respectively, and the other men,
bers of the company will be con-
genially cast.

MIR. ATWIL Is
STAR AT
POLLS

For the coming week at Polls
Theater is announced Lionel Atwill
In "The Outsider" a new play
by Dorothy Brandon. Mr.: Atwill
is being presented by William
Harris. jr., well known to this
city by his frequent visits here as
q tryout center for his many
plays. This season has seen his
Robert E. Lee" and Outward
Bound" the latter now one OF the
big successes of Broadway.
This latest play from the Harris
office is a love STORY OF the
stirring kind told in that frank
English. manner that allows the
use of good old Anglo-Saxon
words; a spade in other words is
always q spade and no ribbons at
tached. The background Of this
play has to do with doctors and
their ethical standards. There
Is Ragatzy, a practitioner who in
this country would be called a
Quack. He is outside the charmed
circle Of physicians and surgeons.
But he is able and often effects
cures. But that virtue will not
gain his admittance to the elect.
So, the outsider takes the daugh-
ter Of a prominent surgeon and
tries his cures upon her. How
well he succeeds, and what en-
sues, make up the four acts Of
the stirring play.
Lionel Atwill plays the out
slider. He is supported by Lester
Lonergan, Ann Davis, T. Wigney
Percival, John Blair, Whitford
Kane, Pat Somerset, Ferdinand
Eliscu, Florence Edney, Kenneth
Hunter.
