Lillian Gish IN
The White Sister"

"The White Sister" screen version
Of +. Marion Crawford's novel which
had it's Washington premiere at the
National Theater yesterday. un-
doubtedly reaches high mark of ex-
cellence among recent photoplay pro-
ductions. The well known Crawford
romance has been well handled in
transferring 1t to the screen, losing
none of it's dramatic power and gain
ing much through the pictorial effects.
The story concerns the love of
Angela, daughter of an italian prince,
for Giovanni Severi, a captain in the
to Africa few days after Angela is
left grief-strtcken by the sudden
death of her father. Betrayed by an
older sister, who also loves Giovanni,
she IS cast out of her home and is
befriended b fr by her goxerness, until
death in Africa she turns for solace
to the convent nearby and becomes
a member of the order Of THE White
Sisters" After a narrowing three
years OF captivity with an Arab tribe.
Giovanni returns a short while after
Angela has become spouse of the
church" He appeals to her to peti-
ton the Pope for a release from her
vows. and when she refuses the lover
driven to desperation. has her brought
to his villa through a Subterfuge and
there makes a dramatic effort to force
her to relinquish her faith.
Ronald Colman, who plays Giovanni,
is an excellent foil, in his fiery pres
entation of the role OF the lover, for
the sanity. almost unearthly, calm of
Lillian Gish's acting. The story
reaches its dramatic heights In. this
scene between the lovers. the soldier
pleading, threatening. and the nun
holding her cross between them,
praying for the strength that will
enable them to wait i'll patience for
the death that will unite them In
eternal life.
Henry Kings fine touch. is seen
throughout. the picture. not only in
the artistry OF scenic beauty, but In
the realism Of the situations and the
simplicity with which he has told the
story, at the same time making the
most of its highly emotional possi-
biiities. He has injected many cx-
quisite scenes. little bits of homely
Italian life, street singers and Fat
bambinos, corners of the market
place. etc. The hunting scene is es-
pecially fine, and the Mt. Eesuvius
activities most unusual.
A special musical program, prepared
by Joseph Briel, includes a. choir
which sings behind the scenes, and
special orchestral music, well chosen
and executed.

Katherine Macdonald
In "Chastity."

Katherine Macdonald is hardly at
her best in Chastity, the feature
picture Of the program at the Am
bassador the first part Of this week.
The story concerns the efforts Of a
rich girl to be a success on the
stage and to prove to q noted critic
that an actress does not have to be
in private life what the characters
portrayed by her represent. In do
ing this she overcomes the objections
of her uncle, who is, trustee of her
large fortune, and through him
finances her plays, in which she, Of
course. is big success. The critic
falls in love with the actress and,
after a lengthy series of listless
scenes, enlivened by a horrifying au-
tomobile accident, in which nearly
everybody is drowned but Katherine
Macdonald, she proves that an actress
can be an example of domesticity,
even though she does portray Camille
and Salome nightly before large au-
diences.
The program is rounded out with
novel comedy, "Cave Inn; Pathe
News and selection by the orches-
ira, under Bailey +. Alart.

PORTRAITS ON U. S. ORDER
Attorneys General Have Pictures
Made for Justice Building.

An impressive feature of the De-
partment Of Justice is its collection
OF, portraits. From the very first it
has been customary for the Attorney
General to have his portrait painted
at government expense before retir-
ing from office, and TO leave it hang
ing on the office wall.
Some of the official likenesses Of
this collection are very good, and
some are not, for the American gov
ernment supports no court artist but
has its great men painted on contract.
In some cases evidently the besL ,,tt
has won out, but all of the portraits
are impressive, and undoubtedly they
do their bit to inspire and reassurc
the incumbent in office.
This is one of the intimate details
of government affairs which are re-
counted by Frederic ]. Haskin in the
