; ing his own films the movie
critics have been religiously say
ing, with each succeeding pre-
miere, "He has put into this

public demands" In the past
few years Fairbanks has pro-
yided some of the worlds great

for "Don O." with a Spanish
setting, the critics must needs
raise their cracking voices and
praise the name of Fairbanks.
Quite q. while ago, he made the
still.remembered Mark OF Zorro.
And "Don O. is a magnificent Sc
ouel to the earlier piece. 1t is
set in splendor, acted with rare
skill and was given the best of
direction. The principals knew
their own parts, and the mob
scenes are excellent.

settled in California, returns to
the lands Of his fathers to study.

tHre musical comedy with a large
cast of versatile artists, well
mounted and staged. This revue

there is no other woman in the

only difference between the two

A PICTURE THAT
.JOLTS AND
TERRFIES

The greatest thrills of life very
often come so quickly and are
gone so soon that only the fond
memory of them remains.
Under the title of ''Life's Great
est Thrills" international News
reel has assembled, and preserved
Tor all time. what Is probably the
most remarkable motion picture
feature ever placed on the screen.
II is composed exclusively of
thrilling scenes and incidents oc-
curing in real life and enacted
by real personages, among them
some Of the most famous in the
world
..Life's Greatest Thrills fur
nishes a jolting contrast to the
regular film features at the Pal
ace and Rialto fheaters this week.
For twelve years the editors Of
International Newsreel have been
culling from hundreds of issues
Of the Newsreel the most spec
tacular and magnificently thrill
ing scenes that have appeared
during that period.
Wherever there is danger or
anything that is likely to furnish
a thrill there you will find the
intrepid NewsreeI cameraman.
Very frequently, too. his pro-
verbal luck will land him. In
places where thrills occur at the
most unexpected moment. He has
photographed the sinking Of
steamships in mid-ocean: and the
seething nav Of Vesuvius as she
that bring death and devastation
to the countryside. He has pho.
tographed, too, the thrills Of avia-
ton. the amazing scenes of para
chute jumps; the angry moods of
nature as expressed in earth
quakes, cyclones and lightning
bolts: the sacred beauty and
grandeur Of the Pope in the re-
,markably beautiful pageants Of
the Vatican; the thrills that came
with the world war and of riots
and revolution; of great naval dis
asters and fires at sea; Of the
thrilling experiences of explorers
who penetrate the frozen North:
Of reckless riders in automobile
races and steeplechases: of hardy
fishermen who trail big game
through the seas; Of fearless men
who brave the swirling waters in
cockleshell craft-and these are
few of the many remarkable
scenes that go to make up "Life's

most exciting and spectacular mo-
ton picture ever thrown upon the
scleen, and one that no one can

RIALTO-
"Lightnin' "

The screen version of "Lightnin',
the comedy drama that has won
the smiles and tears Of thousands,
on the speaking stage is the fea-
tured attraction at the Rialto this
week and judging from the ap-
proval that greeted its first show
iugs yesterday, this quaint story
of old Bill Jones and his better
half, bids fair to repeat on the
silver screen.
The plot Of the play is too well
known to be detailed at any
length here. 1t chiefly concerns
Bill and his wife who conduct
little hotel on the border line Of
California and Nevada. Here the
ladies with ambitions for alimony
and freedom come to obtain both.
Bills wife catches the fever and
hales the lovable old liar into
court. Here human nature and
love rises superior to desires and
in a splendid little scene, the two
old folks are reunited. 49,
scented by a cast that includes
Jay Hunt, Madge Bellamy, Edyth
Chapman and our old friend, Ethel
Clayton.
Seeing Washington" presented
by Mischa Guterson turns out to
be an excellent little novelty, de-
picting some of the interesting
points Of Washington, az seen
from a rubberneck wagon. The
offering presents some home tai
ent both in person and on the
screen. The. International News
reel this week is the best yet: 1t
presents many death defying
stunts caught by the Interna-
tionaI Newsreel cameramen during
the past dozen years and for q
thrill film, we dare say, has never
been equaled.

again wins praise with q splendid
musical program.

METROPOLITAN
"Graustark"

If you are one who believes in
the grand passion, in love at first
sight; If you are one who has
never lifted life's veil of illusion
and seen the twisted smile be-
meath; or. in the words OF Doc
tor Jonson, IL you are one "who
listens with credulity TO the
whisperings of fancy and pur-
sues with eagerness the phantoms
of hope, = then Graustark will be
bread and meat and cake for
you-for here is romance with
a capital r; romance and high
adventure.
It is a love story of an Amer
lean who loved a princess relat-
ing his sundry adventures in the
land OF Graustark. How he was
unjustly sentenced to death, how
the princess came to him and
gave him freedom, how he fled
and finally returned to claim
her. A story indeed to make the
blood run warm at seventeen. 1t
is beautifully told, but it is the
frail beauty of unreality and
those who have eaten OF life's
black bread and drunken of its
sour wine will miss, perhaps,
the stern glory that can be
wrung out of. harsh reality.
In a story Of this kind it is
difficult of course to keep out
the flavor Of opera bcuffe, but
the director did we'll with the ex-
ception of one scene; that in
which the princess appeals to
her people for the privilege Of
marrying the American. Norma
Talmadge, as the princess, did
not carry a spark OF conviction
into this episode, and 1t was
ineptly done otherwise.
Miss Talmadge makes very
graceful princess. Eugene O'Brien
did a masterful piece of work as
the American. Wanda Hawley
and Marc McDermott, in second
airy roles, were acceptable. Many
of the settings are novel and of
rare beauty.
A subsidiary film, Shoes"
taken from an o. Henry story, is
a comedy far above the ordinary
and we'll worth seeing. Scenes
taken from the current Pathe
and Fox news films complete
the program. w. f. ...J

"Puppy Love" is really farce
comedy, rather than plain COM
edy. At times it hits the hilar-
ious. It is the kind of a piece
that incites perpetual grin
with frequent displacement of
the grin by chuckles and loud
laughter. The cast fits into
funny situations and witty lines
like a rubber glove and several
of the performances are mark
eddy fine.
The play is totally one of
misunderstanding, though the
authors might protest this. The
story is inconsequential save to
act as frame for the laughs.

EARLE
VaudeyiIle-Filrns

The Earle has two headliners
this week. a concession to the
great number of film and vaude-
vile fans which flock to this
amusement center. Tom Mix
heads the film end of the bill in
his latest release, The Lucky
Horseshoe. a picture which has
played at straight prices in New
York, with no other attractions,
and here as part OF splendid
bill.
On the vaudeville end of the
program 1.-The Wreck is the
featured skit. 1t is put across
with much gusto and smoke. a
spectacular vaudeville offering.
An excellent male quartet Is the
Temple Four. A black-face basso
supplies a bit of comedy.
Ed PressIer and Blanche Klaiss
offer "Song, Comedy and Panto-
mime.p The sl1it is good and well
received. Mr.. Pressler's efforts
at pantomime are excellent.
Mallon and Case show the folks
how. to Keep the Doctor Away
in their humorous sl1it. The
offering is of the slap-stick sort
but original.
The Major Revue, opening bill,
is unusual in that it carries its
own orchestra. The young wo-
man puts across a few songs
with but Indifferent success. Her
dancing, however, was excellent.
The two male dancers were also
capable.
Olga Myra. with Betsy Rees &
Co., offer a fine dance act, to
close the show.
The picture that is claimed to
have won Broadway over to Tom
Mix is at the Earle this week. 1t
is THE Lucky Horseshoe and
is a radical departure from the
customary Mix picture. The plot
varies from the reality Of the
cowman's life to the fantastic life
of medieval Spain. 1t is the story
Of bashful ranch foreman who
turns into an up-to-date Don Juan.
The picture is well acted, truly
interesting and worth seeing. a
Charlie Chase comedy is also on
the bill, together with Kilograms.
The Washington times., 1925-09-28

There are touches, even, Of
burlesque.
Vivian Martin makes a most
fetching picture as the young
ster whose love for young Loo
hart Robert Keith is forbid
den by her mother who ships
her to an aunt's farm to make
her forget. He follows and
such destnies as guide the COM
ings and goings of the servant
retinue in any well-established
house, make it possible for him
to hire out as chauffeur. The
story need be dwelt upon no
further.

Mission Mary reminds one
very strongly of Claiming Pol
locks The FOOL. although we
are told that it was written some
five years ago and in the interim
has been awaiting satisfactory
production terms.
1t tells the story of a high
church rector whose sociological
teachings conflict with the
moneybags of the congregation
and result in the loss of his pull
pit. Dean Roberts then starts a
mission in the east side of New
York and there follows the work
as he sees it, surrounded by
these habitues of the slums.
Mary Allison, alias Mission
Mary" his co-owrker in evangel-
ism, and the difficulties which 'be-
set her efforts to reform comprise
the groundwork Of three acts that
drip with saccharine preachingS
and too little action. Its few dra-
matte situations are SO machine
made and transparent that illu-
sion vanishes long before the
final curtain. The attempts at
comedy provide some of the sad.
dest moments of the play.
Mr.. Hales is the Dean Rob-
erts" Of the drama and sorrows
through it all from first to last.
Florence Rittenhouse, a former
Washington stock favorite, is the
1925 Mary of Magdala, with
Frances Kennen, H. Langdon
Bruce, Willard Robertson, Herbert
Haywood. Phillips Tead. Kay
Hammond. Frank Sylvester and
Charles Slattery in less important
roles.
Mr.. Pollock was in violent con-
flict with the metropolitan critics
funny to a burlesque point and
the last act, slightly too long,
is immensely funny in it's de-
picting of a sedate family group
getting inadvertently drunk
through very plausible device.
Liquor, like music, has powers
beyond price, and the stage that
had been set for the killing of
the unmasked lover becomes,
through the articles of the for
hidden dram, bower of char
ity and forgiveness.
Florence Earle contributes
gem in performance in the last
act, adding another picture to
the few in the gallery immortal
izing the art of not overriding
the Gag" stuff.
Maude Eburne, a dreadnaught
coincidence, does the maid for
every laugh there's in it. She
is a bright contribution to the
parade of characters, though a
little restraint will not detract
from her effects. The casting
on the whole has been happy
and wise and the staging and
direction exceptional.
Puppy Love- is built for
laughter and not for analysis.
You cannot miss being well and
richly entertained.

KEITH'S-
Irene Franklin

Jack Spratt, who ate no fat,
and the wife who simply loathed
lean, could both be perfectly
happy at Keith's this week. It's
an Ia carte offering, and what
ever you want, If you're not too
unreasonable, they have it.
Irene Franklin, with some new
songs, with her. hair red gold as
ever, and with a brand-new hus-
band, is the featured star. But
William and Joe Mandel, ;acrobats,
IL you please, would shine
brightly no matter who might be
on the bill. Most vaudeville aero
bats know their stuff. They all
try to be funny. These two are
GOOD. Also a scream.
Valerie Bergere, a little stouter,
perhaps, but always Valerie. ana
her company Of two in "A Wom-
a new twist to the unhappy wife
theme, also stands out like a sore
thumb at knitting party.

They're real character actors,
those two, with a subtle humor
that's a big relief from the usual
sIapstick variety of such acts.
If you like choral stuff, it's
right there for you, issuing from
the threats Of dozen and a half
or so Russians comprising the
Kuban Cossack Chorus. They
sing in Russian, but they sure do
sing. Also there is an unnamed
member Of the chorus who does
Cossack knife dance that is an
act in itself.
The gentle art of ''hoofing" is
presented by the Trado Twins.
They have been seen here as fea-
tured performers in many q
revue, including the Fiollies.
They offer all their old stuff and
some that is now.
Villa and Harold Browne, in
Rag Art, open the bill capably,
and Margaret, Blanche, and
Beulah Stewart, three shapely
sisters, close it with living
statuary.

tory of the republic peculiarly op-
perfume for those who through the
appeal to the spirit of unrest seek
to lead the people away from the
landmarks of traditional American
ism. Never were these elements
more active and hopeful than they
are today.
1t is not enough to counter-at-t tack
these assailants of fundamental
Americanism. The guarantee of the
continued faith of Americans in our
form of government lies in the affirm
ative appeal. 1t is necessary to hold
up before the American people the
ideals, traditions and beliefs in which
our institutions are embedded to
create wider familiarity with the wise
words and brave deeds of the heroes
and sages who have made and kept
US nation, and inculcate constantly
glowing love of country in an era
when the teaching is all too common
that patriotism is the mark of narrow
minds. Thus may we avoid the dang
er of a peacefur revolution through
the poisoning of mems minds, which

Real Danger of Revolution in
America

This nation stands in no immediate
danger from violent revolution. The
Moscow communists who have been
indulging in dreams of an armed
uprising of the proleta2 at" in the
United States reveal a peculiarly
stupid lack of comprehension of
America, where no "proletariat" ex-
lists. Those who are fearful of COM
munist uprisings in the United States
are afraid of something that cannot
happen until the faith of the Ameri-
can people in their institutions has
been more effectively undermined
than it is now. The present danger
lies in another direction.
The institutions of this country
make it unnecessary to have blood
shed in order to effect the overthrow
of our form of government, and the
complete betrayal of every idea and
ideal for which this country stands.
Whoever can make conquest of
public opinion in the United States
can capture the nation. The federal
Constitution offers some obstacles in
its bill of rights, but once President
is elected on a platform holding that
the Supreme Court has no power to
declare invalid and executive or leg
islative action in violation of the re-
served rights of the people, that i'm
pediment can be quickly swept away
if need be, by mere presidential fiat.
The sole defense of American in
stitutions is in public opinion which
comprehends, appreciates and stands
up for them. Let that opinion become
misguided and the nation itself will
veer from the course upon which il
was set up by the founders.
The opinion and covert disbelievers
in the principles upon which our in.
stitutions are established are ever
active in their appeal to public opin
ion. There comes times in the his
