Palace" SO This Is
Marriage"

For enjoyable humor and whole
some entertainment, so This Is Mar
riage," the feature Of the Christmas s
week bill at Loew's Palace Theater,
easily wins the cake. 1t is one OF
the happiest stories the screen has
brought to Washington this year.
so This Is Marriage" makes no
effort to be serious, to teach the poor
public some ridiculous, fearful moral
about downtrodden woman. 1t just
tells the story of two perfectly hu-
man young persons who fall head
over heels in love, get married and
discover that the garden of that
happy state is full of roses with the
customary amount of thorns.
Eleanor Boardman is the girl, and
she Is delightful Conrad Nagel is
the very much -in-love but somewhat
Jealous husband. Conrad finds rich
success in the financial world and
Eleanor, just as any real girl would,
proceeds to make the most of it. The
situations that develop are funny,
very funny.
The story is human from begin
ming to end and, since it does not
let either of the principals into any
serious difficulty. 1t does not end
with one of those peaches and-cream
climaxes that occur only in fancy
or in the movies. The curtain comes
down with everything status quo, the
author having realized that no home
Is letter perfect.
The comedy, Roaring Lions at
Home is exceptionally good, and, in
addition. the news reel and a good

events of 1924. together with the
usual orchestral entertainment, com

WARNS CHURCH GROUP.
College Head Sees Supersovereign
Danger to World.

Warning the world against super
sovereignty, DR.. B. G. Wilkinson. dean
Of theology, Washington Missionary
College, addressed a large gathering
last night in the Capital Memorial
Church, Fifth and e streets. Dean Will
hnson said the last great manifesto
ton Of anti-Christ Is developing before
our eyes and we may look for 1t in
just such a world supersovereignty as
proposed by those who recoil before the
horror of another World War"
mot TO remove the causes OF war"
said DR.. Wilkinson, "but to form a
supersovereignty where every man
will sit under his vine and fig tree, Is
the climax of all modern world super
sovereignty orators. AS such, Russia's s
entrance into the League OF Nations
would destroy the League of Nations
and curse the world. Even now the
workers party and the Young Work
er's' League are urged by their off,
cial organ to bring all pressure pos
sible in support of the child labor
bill, claiming 1t will help sovietize
the United States, just as the ma
tionalization of children in Russia
helped to sovietize that country. De-
spite the fact that the Bible demands
that Christians keep not such COM
pany, now a stirring plea Is sent out
by 10000 ministers to bend every
oar in imposing on the nation q

Tivoli-"F Forbidden
Paradise"

Pola Negri plays the role of Cath
crime of Russia in Forbidden Para
disc" the feature film at the Tivoli
Theater yesterday and today. The
production has lavish and artistic
settings that add to the atmosphere
of regal power. Rod La ROGUE,
Pauline Stark, and Adolph Menjou
are featured players, Mr.. Menjou IN
particular giving a realistic charac-
terization. Ernst Lubitsch, who di-
rected Miss Negri's pictures abroad,
also directed Forbidden Paradise"
The story concerns amours of Cath
crime, "the greatest queen and the
greatest woman with the greatest
heart in the world" Revolution is
brewing, and the young hero brings
warning to Catherine. who does not
become alarmed, but falls in love
with the bearer of the message. He,
however, is betrothed to her lady
in-waiting. So the plot Is laid, and
eventually worked out to a happy
ending for all concerned.

Metropolitan" Christine of
the Hungry Heart"

a little child and his mothers
love &c him constitute the appealing
part Of Christine of the Hungry
Heart" the film version Of Kathleen
Norris novel, this week at Crandalrs
Metropolitan.
Florence Vidor is the Christine"
who inconstant in love, leaves her
hrst husband because he is unfaith-
ful and a drunkard; the second, be-
cause he is so absorbed in his pro-
fession as a great physician in cur
ing the ills of little children that
she gets lonely" and runs away with
a romantic playwright only to find
out that he also is absorbed in his
business" and is writing his great
est triumph
When her little child, "Jeffy," is
taken from her by the doctor hus-
band, she concludes that all men
have a right to give much of their
time to the world She leaves the
playwright to return where she can
see her child. Accidentally meeting
the drunken first husband, escaped
from the prison hospital, she de-
votes her life to him in a little noun
tain store to atone" The drunkard
expires in time for the eminent ply
sician and little "Jeffy" to come
bring her back home"
The title character is weak and
wishy-washy. Florence Vidor, how
ever, suffuses it with a show of
mother love that is one of the most
commendable parts of the picture.
The little tad. too, plays his role well.
Walter HERS, as Christine's brother,
injects much needed comedy into the
action in many places, but hardly
succeeds in lifting it out OF an at
mosphere of depression.
The Christie Comedy includes a
freak prize fight, which evoked peals
of laughter.

perturbation of the novel by Cyril
Hume.
The centaur, half man, half beast.
tabled figure of yore, 1t Is explained
has his type among men of today,
geniuses of vision and ability, cursed
with wills too weak to master their
own conduct. 1t is such type por-
trayed by John Gilbert, a novelist of
success and man OF fick1e nature, who
falls in love, or thinks he does. with
two women-first one, then the other.
Aileen Pringle plays the role of a
passionate creature of vivid life, who
first accepts, later rejects the cen
taur's offer Of marriage. Eleanor
Boardman, as Joan Converse, puts the
stamp of real authenticity into the
part Of the girl whom the centaur
truly loves, whom he finally marries,
and to whom he returns, even after
the temptress has almost lured him
from the family f1reside. She fits the
role. She plays it beautifully. And 1t
is a kind of role all too much needed
among the theater and movie types of
today, character fine. strong, de-
voted, standing out like a beacon
light.
The show is rightly named the
wife" of the centaur, and not the
centaur himself, although it is his
capriciousness which throws into
strong relief The genuine love Of the de-
voted Joan.
1t would be good to see the centaur
played by a stronger "he-man" than
Gilbert. but he gives the part many
deft touches and an exhibition of ski
ing in his return home from the siren,
which is whizZing sight. There are
gorgeous ballroom and party scenes,
merry whirls with the speedy young
set and many comic situations.

Holmes on "Czecho-
slovakia."

~Czechoslovakia," as described and
0ictured by Burton Holmes at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon
and evening, gave convincing proor
that the real Bohemia bears no
resemblance whatever to the fam
boyant state of mind created by
grotesque imagination. 1t is a much
to-be-admired country, agricultural
IN character and peopled with hard
working and contented men and
women; orderly in their lives as
citizens and home makers, and as
joyously devoted to their feasts as SO
many children at a party.
An opening panorama is given of
ga day on the farms in the fields of a
rich agricultural region, showing how
the Bohemian farm folk plow and sow
and reap their harvests; meeting the
sturdy, wholesome natives in their
villages; amusing roadside encoun-
ters; babies and other products"
There are wonderful cherries and
notable crops OF hops. "beer on the
vine" There is visit to Carlsbad.

of Prague, the Czechoslovak capitol,

synagogue and Jewish cemetery, and
in seeing "the great sights" a visit
is made to the Tyn Church, and hear

muk. Art galleries, cathedral, thea
ters and the famous old town hall
are considered, and an ascent made
to the cathedral and palace on the
heights with call on President
Masaryk.
Folk dances by a rustic corps de
ballet reveal an astonishing wealth
OF richly wrought old dresses, the
highest expression of peasant spIendor
in fabric and embroideries. There
are more stunningly clad Slovaks
dancing in a Moravian village, and
ii great day at Cesky Brod shows
the gymnastic exercises performed
with astonishing precision by boys
and girls and men and women; a
postwar renewal of the nation wide
athletic training of the youth and
manhood and the womanhood of the
republic. Twelve thousand athletes
going through the Sokol drill at one
time give revelation of a nations
unity and strength.

Poll 's-Constance Binney
and Sweet Little Devil" "

Blooming with the confidence which
comes with Broadway success, an en-
tertaining little three act divertisse-
ment, called Sweet Little Devil" was
brought to Polls Theater last night
hy Laurence Schwab, with Constance
Binney in the title role.
A keen sense of true value is dis
played in the makeup of the printed
program. On the announcement page
the name Of Constance Bnney is very
properly printed in type which Is
several points bigger than that which
displays the name of the play.
1t seems that interest centers a bit
more in Miss Binney than in the play
itself Perhaps it's because devotees
of the screen features are a bit curl

leading lights who have mutely en-
acted dramas la shadow and licll er

Those who visited Polls last night
for such reason were we'll reward
ed. Miss Binney showed that she
could not only command attention by
adorning any setting, but also that
she had much more than a modicum
OF talent when 1t came to dancing
and singing.
This is clean little comedy, with
out much novelty to hang Thespian
immortality on, but it is enjoyable,
nevertheless. 1t slows up at times,
and few cheStnutS are pulled out of
the fireplace now and then, but on
the whole 1t is rather above the aver
age.
The story about which the comedy
Is woven is the rather well known
narrative anent the lady of the chorus
attempting to grab a bank roll by
mere marriage, and the subsequent
saving of the prospective prey by
ruse on the part of young lady
actually in love with him, said ruse
constituting the false spreading of
Information that he has not got any
money after all.
Toward the end Of the first act "the
Jijibo" song and dance peps up
things Immensely. Ruth Warren and
William Wayne here demonstrate
that they are factors in the success of
this presentation. There is a dance
speciality also by Olivette, who has
toes that twinkle.
Miss Binney's rendition of "Vir-
Sinia-an individual, not State, song
goes across the footlights nicely, as
we'll as .'Some One Who Believes in
You," which has real merit.
In the last act there's a song en-
titled "Hooray for the l.. S. A" that
seems to be a bit of burlesquing
which might not ring we'll In the ear
drums of such folks as those who
tried to stop What Price Glory for
patriotic reasons.
Irving Beebe, in the lead, is enter
tanning as young civil engineer
with an idea and prospects of much
cash. Edna Dare, as the chorus lady
with designs on the prospect, does
very well, indeed. The others come
quite well up to expectations. Even
grandma would be hard put to find
something amiss with this play. The
younger generation, however, might
want more pep.

Rialto-"This Woman

Shorn of many of its original dpr
tails as written by Howard Rocky,
This Woman" transferred to photo
dramatic garb by Warner Bros, was
shown at the Rialto Theater yes
terday as the principal feature of
it's holiday bill. what connection
the title has with the story is yelled
completely, but this does not detract
from the pictures interest. which is
thoroughly engrossing, due chiefly to
a superb cast.
This Woman" unfolds q story of
q destitute musical student o2 the
verge Of ending her earthly existence.
but who, through a strange turn of
fate, becomes attached to a wealthy
family and has her voice cultivated
by a famous impresario. Through
many trials and tribulations the girl
keeps her past life, made question
able by her presence at a disreputable
cafe and SO-day term in the New
York City jail on a charge of
vagrancy, a. carefully guarded secret
until natural sequence of en-
barrassing events leads her to tell
her story. Free from her conscious
troubling secret, the girl finds deep
love and strong faith in the arms of
her temperamental vocal teacher.
The story is told deftly and
smoothly. The spirit of speculation
speculation rs to whom the girl
will ultimately turn for true love
Is maintained nicely throughout the
picture and supplies the ideal climax.
Irene Rich depicts the singer, her
trials and vicissitudes. Her perform
ance is finely limned. Marc McDer-
motifs portrayal of Stratini, the i'm
ITesario, whose efforts to train the
singer are rewarded with love instead
of CALI Curci. Is excellent, too.
Louise Fazenda, the ex-comedienne.
and Creighton Hale furnish the few
comedy bits scattered throughout the
picture. Others In the well chosen
cast are Ricardo Cortez and Clara
Bow.
Subsidiary films include Jack in
the Beanstalk,'' featuring Baby
Peggy; news reel and newspaper
fun" The operatic artists, Tomasini
and Guarneri, and the Rialto Orches-
ira with it's overture, Christmas
Echoes" round out a good show.
