To one who enjoys blood and thun-
der melodrama The Way of a Girl

man" PLAYED by Matt Moore, that he
does not know as much about man
aging women and horses as he thinks
he does, and she also demonstrates
that the way of the willful always
leads to trouble.
A unique feature is the showing of
the scenario writer who has, accord
ing to early subtitleS, been given a
story of "rewrite" Glimpses of the
writer are given between scenes, pic
turing him in the throes OF compost
ton. 1t is announced at the outset
that he is given the piece or work
with instructions to make II iuhny,
but not vulgar; show love without
nassion and turn out a clean COM
edy." He promptly opens his plot
with an exceedingly vulgar prize
fight. makes a masked ball where
many suggestively CARRIED women are
among the dancers as the setting OF
big scene and has the heroine in
shedding automobile rescued by
murderer in another outstanding
scene The picture, instead or pelhs
a comedy, is ludicrous melodramd.
The short reel feature, also with
comedy intentions, is entitled stop
Look and whistle" 1t starts with
crossword puzzle, ends with a box
full of cats and has many hashes de

Metropolitan-"Fr Frivolous
Sal"

Frivolous SAL" dramatized from
J. X. McDonald's novel, is strongly
reminiscent of the early days of the
nickelodeon, when no photoplay was
complete without a dozen or more
hair raising climaxes, the great open
spaces and sure-s shooting two-gun
villains. Frivolous Sal" had its
Washington premiere yesterday at
CrandalTs Metropolitan Theater and
will continue there through the week
Frivolous Sal" is certainly melo-
dramatic Mae Busch is it's outstand-
ing virtue, in the Interpretation of a
role in which she might quite easily
have "spiashed over" but really is
fine. Eugene OBrien is not so good.
His characterize ton is weak and
weepy when the plot calls for the
little manhood his character is sup
posed to portray.

Keith 's-Trini. Spanish
Dancer.

A bill with preponderance of
mirthful comedy, over which TRIM,
the Spanish beauty ard scintillating
dancer, towers as the undisputed
headliner, is the weeks offering at
b. F. Keith's Theater.
With her own marimba orchestra
of eight players and a carload of
gorgeous settings, the beautiful TRIM
presents a rare artistic entertain
ment that won for her deserved ap-
probation from a large first-night
audience. All her numbers, which
run the gamut from a tango to a
difficult Apache sketch, glow with
technique and originality. TRIM is
assisted in her song numbers by War
rem Jackson and by Dario Borzani in
her dances.
Chief among the numerous comedy
sketches is novel one-act play
called Kisses" presented by the deb
onair William Gaxton, supported by
an excellent cast. The act is replete
with witty lines and unique situa-
lions. GaXton is male vampire
with a unique method in getting
women of all ages to kiss him.
Roy Cummings, always a favorite
with Keith patrons, is back with his
inimitable Glowing antics and re-
freshing humor. He was received
with loud acclaim by the first night
erS. His famous tumbleS are more
frequent and more breathtaking than
ever. Twice he plunges into the or
chestra pit and tears down the back
drops just as often. Irene Shaw is
with him principally as an eye at
traction.
Jimmy Lucas, the author comedian,
kept the audience in merriment with
his sketch, Vampires and Fools" He
has a brisk, amusing line of patter
and plenty of catchy melodies. His
latest composition, The Command
ments of Love-" scored a decided hit.
Miss Geraldine Herbert is his partner
Arthur Hartley and Helen Patter-
son have a breezy skit called "One
Night" Eccentric dances are offered
by Joe Wallace and Joe Cappo. who
describe themselves as broadway s
Adopted Sons"
The bill is opened with fine jug
Cling act by ELY. petite female
juggler, whose routine comprises
many difficult undertakings. Mary
Gautier and company close the pro
gram with an animal act, featuring
an intelligent pony. The usual tlm
attra ctions are shown.
AS whole, the bill is one OF the
best assembled at Keith's in recent
weeks.

Palace-" Contraband."

"Contraband," at Loew's Palace
this week, is Alan Crosland's version
of a sparkling magazine story of ad-
venture by Clarence Buddington KEEL
land.
1t has a typical American setting,
the action taking place in a small
Western town, and it concerns the
thrilling adventures of a lively young
American college girl, who inherits
Unexpectedly the town newspaper,
which she finds enslaved by the po-
litical boss of the town, and which
she sets about at once to free. Her
only supporters in her endeavors to
speak the truth through the columns
of her struggling little sheet are the
foreman of the composing room,'' as
she dignifies her one helper, much to
his delight; the printers devil and
her editorial writer, an earnest young
professor, who has been elected from
his position as instructor in the town
school because he has dared to voice
some truths about conditions in the
town. Her enemies are many and
run the gamut of boot1eggers, MUIR
derers, conspirators, the political
boss and his entire gang. She meets
them all, however, fearlessly and en-
ergetically exposes the towns richest
man and all his colleagues, until the
town mas itself better OH than 1t has
ever been. In the meantime the girl
has fallen in love with her editorial
writer and the two vow to stand side
by side for truth and uprightness.
Lois Wilson is pretty and charming
in the leading role. Raymond Mckee
is much in the picture as the earnest
young editorial writer. Noah Beery
gives another of his interesting char
acterizations as the political boss.
William Fox, jr., is the printers devil
and Raymond Hatton gives an anus
ing study of a small town photog-
rapher.
News reels of the races here and
in England, and natural color
scenic, with orchestra music, complete
the bill.

Sal forgives him.
There are several exciting fights,
one between O'Brien and the gambler
in an ore bucket several thousand
feet above a yawning canyon. In
another scene a rider fails to make
