STRAND-Arthur Ashley.

With Arthur Ashley, movie actor,

snappy song and dance revue, the
strand this week presents an excep-
tional vaudeville program as we'll as
its regular film attractions. Mr.. Ash

humor and pathos. Turning from
the lighter portion of his act, he pre-
sents with Miss Clement a dramatic
scene from The Man Who Came

The song revue is presented by
Eddie Davis and four graceful young
feminine dancers. Emerson and

Miss Talmadge reveals the full

PRESIDENT The Holy
CITY"

The St. Patrick Playere last night
presented 1.-The Holy City" passion
play, in three acts and eighteen scenes,
at the President Theater. to an audi
ence that was most enthusiastic.
To offer THE Holy City," play
with over fifty speaking parts and more
than 125 characters in costume, is
task that might properly challenge the
professional stage. The local players
gave a performance incredible in its
smoothness with a self assurance and
enthusiasm which won round after
round of applause.
This Lenten drama, by Chester Ben
nett, while adhering closely to biblical
teaching, tells the story of the passion
and death of the Savior in a well con-
nected series of scenes that are spirit
ually appealing and nevertheless give
due regard to dramatic climaxes. The
Christ of the play is symbolical, al
though the scene on the cross and at
the resurrection are shown in two beau
tiful tabeaux, made effective by fine
lighting.

Good old hokum- observation-disclosures is

week, where 1.-THE Shooting of Dan
McGrew," featuring Lew Cody, Bar

loid form, with Rodolph Valentino

The former-the ''melo-er" of the

Isles through a Gotham cabaret and

with hard drinking, blood and such

left behind. All is on the up and up,
however. but friend husband-Percy
Marmont-doesn't know that.
Then the slickster-Lew Cody
forges a cablegram that leads the am
bilious wife-Barbara La Marr-to
believe she has been cast off by hus-
band who doesn't understand, and
with her shrek of "All right, we'll go

Incidental music was provided by the
Glee Club of Catholic University, with
special orchestration by Pro- c. A

congenially with the action of the
drama.
When it is considered that the en-

the players, it is worthy of note that
1t challenges comparison with the work

Platte. And it carries throughout the
love story, tender and full of brave
deeds, of Molly Wingate. belle of the
train, and Will Banion. dashing mill
tary leader of the wagons from Lib
erty, Mo. These two roles, admira-
bly, played by Lois Wilson and j..
Warren Kerrigan, faithfully portray
the characters as masterfully penned
by Emerson Hough in his great novel
of the sane name.
Ernest Terrence, the genial giant
who sprang into the spotlight in hor-
rible roles of ferocious villains, is one
of the outstanding characters of the
play as Jackson, the scout, fierce, but
faithful to friends, hard-hitting and
honest, comical, and even, at times,
breezy. Other members of the cast
include Charles Ogle, Ethel Wales.
Alan Hale and John Fox.
Among the spectacular features are
numerous glimpses of the seemingly
endless wagon train, an inspiring
sight; crossing the river, swimming
horses, cattle and floating wagons: a
fight between the wagon train and a
horde of Indians, and great prairie
fire. The cast includes 5000 persons.
Orchestral accompaniment enhances

BELASCO-"The Cat and
the Canary.

To the accompaniment of spirit
warnings, mysterious and murderous
hands that snakify creep from trap
doors and the fear that arises be-
cause of reports of criminal maniac
wandering at large, the audience at
the Shubert-BelaSco Theater last
night passed from gasp to gasp dur
ing the opening performance of The
Cat and the Canary" the mystery
play, which has caused cold shivers
to run up and down countless spines
in New York during the last two
seasons This is the first appearance
of The Cat and the Canary in
Washington.
Those who came to be mystified at
tanned their end until the final scene,
when the solution of the mystery is
found. So cleverly, however, has the
author, John Willard, enveloped the
real story that the auditor hnds hlm-
self running-mentally- hrSt
one clue and then another. Mr.. Will
lard has succeeded-aS must the sue
cessful writer of the mystery tale-in
throwing suspicion on nearly all the
characters involved in the story. The
auditor realizes that one of them, at
least must be connected with the
diabolical crime that is committed
and the threat of similar crimes that
hangs over others.
The author dabbles a little in the
psychology of fear-in fact, the very
based on it. In the play the canary
is young and beautiful woman,
heiress to a great fortune. The for
tune, however, is to go to one of five
other possible heirs if this young
woman is dead. or is of unsound
mind at the time the bequest becomes
effective.
An eccentric old millionaire, who
hated his near relations, provided
that his estate should be administered

will should be read to the then sur

his death, in the library of his old
home. In pursuance of this provision,
SIX young people-three men and
three women-gather to hear the will
read by the confidential lawyer who
has handled the estate. There is a
lost necklace fortune in itself
which has been hidden away by the
dead millionaire, which also plays its
part in The Cat and the Canary"
1t is melodrama- All kinds of de-
vices are used that would make a
grown man or woman laugh-that do
make them laugh-in broad daylight.
But The Cat and the Canary" goes
from one moment of suspense to an
other until the nerves of the au-
