CENTRAI-"Kentucky Pride"

William Fox's production of Ken
lucky Pride" the feature at Crandall's 8
Central Theater the first two days of
this week, offers an unusual and de.
lightful screen entertainment. The mar
rative is related by a horse, much after
the manner adopted in BLACK Beauty"
The story. however, does not lag nor
does it lose dramatic force, but un-
reels a tale of the Kentucky tracks,
love, intrigue and romance that keeps
the spectator constantly on the qui
vive. An added attraction is the ap-
pearance in the film Of many thorough
breds of the turf. including Man O.
War, The Finn and Norwich. The
human players include Henry B. Wal
thall Gertrude Astor, j. Farrell Nc
Donald and Peaches" Jackson

NATIONAL-Ziegfeld FoIlies.
Has Ziegfeld taken TO clarifying t,

Has ziegfeld taken TO glorifying the
men, too?
The girls, to be sure. are no less
glorified in this 1925 edition of the
eVer-giittering Follies. which opened
last night at the National Theater.
Ihe men, as represented almost en-
tirely by w. c. Fields, are much more
SO. Fields, at his funniest, with some
splendidly conceived material, must be
ranked In Importance with the girls
the beautiful, the vividly garbed and
Ongarbed girls who form the founda-
tlon upon which every edition of the
"FollieS" is built.
One is impressed with the greater
mobility and flexibility of the 1925
Follies." The show, unquestionably,
is one Of the livleSt Of Ziegfeld crea-
tions. Fields, Ray Dooley and Edna
Leedom, it seems, should be given
credit for this greater celerity. The
hlghlight of the evening for Fields and
Miss Dooley comes in the second act
"a picnic bit that is laughably realis-
tic, reaching a climax in Fields reply
to the question of cleaning up the
picnic debris: "Why should 1 go
around cleaning up these farmers
yards?" This statement, in the light
or the picnickers' complete pillaging
of the place, is one TO make an even
Realism never was more real.
Miss Leedom helps Fields in mari
tai quarrel sketch good for a hilarious
quarter of an hour. "A Back
PORCH depicting the TRADE of tene-
ment tenant trying to sleep while ice
men, milkmen, newsboyS and babies
perform their best, is still successful
IN its comedy effect.
But Fields, in spite of the space

may be glorified without any cost to
the main task of glorifying the girls.
Fields merely provides the comic re-
lief that enhances the beauty OF the
usual Ziegfeld picture-the dazzling
picture of the American girl. There
are but three big tableaux, and they
are up to the Ziegfeld standard.
The Tiller girls, excellent additions
to all reVueS these days, are emphatic
ally present in the Follies. They dance
as Tiller girls are expected TO dance,
reaching the peak of the evening IN a
novelty rope dance that is something
to be seen.
Irving Fisher is the tenor In dis
cussing the music of the show one
might be a bit exacting. 1t scarcely
is up to the record of the past. t1sher
can sing, but he has no such song as
''Tell Me, Little Gypsy" or The Love
Boat" which made John Steel so
much of the show years ago.
One needs no urging, however, 10

POLFS-"Leave 1t To Me-"

Leave 1t To Me-" a musical COM
edy, stamped with the present day
earmarks, which came to Polls last
night via Rufus LIE Marie, is saved
from mediocrity by specIaltles ana
intrinsic features, handicapped by
poor coordination and lack OIL
Bmooth-running continuity.
Mary Milburn's voice easily and de-
iightfuly succeeds with whatever she
ESSAYS. Eddie Buzzell's personality
fits nicely with the role in which he
is cast-a young man with month
to live, who fails to come up to the
mortal expectations of physicians
Godfen and King, with rhythm in
their feet, produce optical illusions IN
first water novelty dances-one could
almost swear they had had ice under
them. Janet Stone, ingenue, more
than fulfills requirements as to
beauty, voice, spirit, dancing and
charm. Frank Dobson. erstwhile or
the burlesque, could well have done
more than is required of him.
The music Is not remarkable. Lyrics
in general are of the ordinary variety,
but not displeasing. Settings are above
average-a harmonic Morro-Spanlsh
motif standing out in a garden scene.
The book could be far better. Unique
puns and tasty "nifties" are sub
merged by lack-aday, s-get-it-over-
with, run O. the mine sayings.
The story is that of young man,
cursed with $1,000, 900, who marries
girl on the theory that he has only
month to live, and who fails to live up
to expectations.
Songs producing the most pleasing
reactions are Little Song of My
Heart" LAT the Prom "One-Way
Street. and "Hey-Hey, the Rue de la
PaiX" Each is distinctive.
Balancing handicaps against good
points, Leave It To Me-" rises above
mediocrity, but is anchored short of
the plane of distanct superiority. 1t
does not come up to its inherent posi-
bilities. Better polishing and co-ordi-
nation with some book surgery may
do much for 1t.

METROPOLITAN-'The Lost World.

The Lost World" held over at
the Metropolitan for the second week
continues to draw capacity houses.
The spectacle of prehistoric ami
mails. faithfully depicted in this day
OF their non-existence except in bone
and fossil in museums of natural
history, coupled with a better than
ordinary sort of cinema drama, is a
novel treat to the motion picture pa
iron and is drawing all the support
II deserves in the Capital.
These monStrosities of pre- historic
times live, walk, fight and look like
real animals. and are a source of con.
slant wonder. How they did it would
also be good story.
In the drama are Wallace Beery,
Lewis Stone. Lloyd Hughes, Arthur
White, Bessie Love, Alma Bennett,
Leo White and Bull Montana.
The story is the film version of the
book of Sir Arthur Conon Doyle, and
retains the same title.
The added attractions, changed
this week, include a new Metropoli-
tan World Survey, the Pathe News,
celebrating its fifteenth anniversary,
and another of Paul Terry's "Ae-
sop's Fables, THE Great Open
Spaces" for the lighter moments.

EARLE-"WithOut Mercy"

Financial circles and political par
ties in London supply the background
for without Mercy" an entertaining
photoplay at the Earle this week.
Many we'll known people are featured.
The story is woven around an election
in London, in which Sir Melmont
Craven Rockcliffe Fellowes) and John
Orme Robert Ames) are rival candi-
dates. They also oppose each other
for the hand of Margaret Garch (Vera
Reynolds). Margaret's mother Ooro-

Orme in the election and proves to be
a dangerous rival of Craven's. I'M
mediately after the election, Craven:
is found to have won through dishon-
est methods, and is forced to eX-
tremes to keep the public from find
ing this out. From this point of the
story many exciting scenes are
shown.
Every one will be interested and
typists especially will enjoy the per-
Torrance of Miss Birdie Reeve, billed
as the Greatest Master of English,
and the Worlds Fastest Typist.
Miss Reeve is said to have vocabu-
larry of Ga 900 words. She uses four
fingers TO make 20 strokes per second.
She is witty entertainer and proved
very popular with the audience last
night.
Frank Farnum, eccentric dancer,
with his revue of pretty, peppy girls,
assisted by Irving Young's Califor-
mans, provides an act of 10 enjoyable
dancing scenes. Mr.. Farnum, who
gives a demonstration of his interpre-
tation of the Charleston" announces
free lessons in this dance at the
theater every morning of his stay in
Washington. beginning at 11:30 this
morning Harry Pease and L. G. Mel
son, song writer's, assisted by Ora G.
Dawson, apparently made a hit in
inspiration" an act giving an idea
of how they are inspired to write
songs. Miss Dawson is undoubtedly
good inspiration Other acts include
Joe De Leir, in Yours Accordionly, ;"
a brief concert of accordion music,
and Doom and McCool, in "All Irish,

TIVOLI-"The King on Main Street.

In THE King on Main Street" fea.
turing Adolphe Menjou as the king,
shown at Crandall'S Tivoli Theater the
first two days of this week, Monta
Bell has achieved a comedy drama of
unusual merits, due probably to the
fact that it really reflects human ma
ture. There is something about the
fanciful story that rings true. At any
rate, there Is a. wealth of entertain.
ment in this drama of the king in
America on a funding mission, who.
through a peculiar combination OF
circumstances. is thrown into close
contact with the average mass life of
America. He even falls in love with
a little girl who meant to throw q
rose at him, but used the wrong hand
and hit him in the eye with a char
lotte russo. or possibly it was an ice
cream cone. The king further romps
around Coney Island with a regular
American kid, and in the end we see
him bored TO tears at being compelled
to go back to his throne
Bessie Love as the American girl
with whom the king falls in love IS
excellent, and, incidentally, introduces
a Charleston that would make Ann
Pennington gasp. Greta Nissen is an.
other important member of the cast.

and Fely are twins, although they
have grown up in ignorance of each
others existence.
The story deals with the fortunes of
the two widely separated families and
the love affair which springs up be-
tween the little Irish girl and Dirk
De Rhonda, the only son of the proud
DE Rhondas.
Many interesting characters of his
toric Importance are introduced, in
cluding young Thomas Edison, who
has faith in the "neW-fangled lights"
destined to throw Wall street into a
turmoil by their searching brilliance;
Theodore Roosevelt, as "a boy; and
Tony Pastor, famous manager of early
Broadway.
The Hal Roach comedy, Fire
Away" offers a laughable addition to
the program. The weekly magazine
includes shots of number of popular
screen stars on location" FLASHES
of the Past" is the Pathe News reel,
showing some of that company's
earliest news pictures, including views
of Theodore Roosevelt on his famous
hunting expedition in 1910, and Mr..
Cannon and his orchestra offer a pop
ular overture.
The man in the audience who
laughed-and laughed and laughed at

morning if he had revealed his iden.
tity to any of the delighted audience
which rocked in sympathetic mirth at

KEITH'S-Nan HaIperin.

Nan Halperin is doing headline hon
ors at Keiths this week and her en-
thusiastic reception demonstrated her
right to the dignity. Miss Halperin
has winning personality, a splendid
voice for her work and in addition she
twists her pretty face into such funny
grimaces as to gain laugh Tor al
most every line uttered. Her act is
entitled, "A Historical Song Cycle, I"
wherein she brings forth characters
long dead and makes them critics OF
the present day. Lucretia Borgfa, for
instance, tells who she would poison
were she alive. The satire is mirth-
provoking throughout. Katherine OF
Russia also tells of her many love af-
fairs in song and it is also very laugh
able. A half dozen curtain calls re-
warded Miss Halperin's efforts.
Walter c. Kelly, THE Virginia

until they almost wiring their necks
off-used to teach his people that
it was cheaper to feed the Indians
than it was to fight them. But
when friction did arise it needed
men who understood Indian ways
to get things fixed up. Well, to do
that there developed some men who
spent much of their time on Indian
expeditions-such for instance as
Jacob Hamblin, Ira Hatch, Thales
Haskell and later Dan Jones and
others The greatest of these was
Jacob Hamblin.
Jacob used to live over in Tooele
county at first, and it was there
that Brigham found his worth and
sent him down to live on the Santa
Clara creek. The place was not so
very far from where the Mountain
Meadow massacre occurred. If
Jacob had been around close that
would never have been pulled off,

lived there, big part of his duty
was to keep peace with the natives
on this side of the Colorado, and
after he came back from one of
his trips the great leader of the
Mormons asked him what chance
there was for settlements out here.
The great scout said he thought
they were good, and that next trip
he would look into the matter fur
Their and report His report was ia
vorable and in 1872 Hector Haight
was sent out on the Little Colo

became discouraged and turned
back along about the San Francisco
wash, saying that the water was so
hard that it petrified the beams they
tried to cook in it, and such things
as that, so that Arizona got a hard
name right from the start with
many Utahns. Let me tell you,
you can not get some of those Utah
guys to view matters any other
way yet.
But getting back to Jacob Ham
bin. Jacob knew there were some
good places out here and so did
Brigham Young, and so in 1876 the
president sent out four companies,

and then went to dive in Round
Valley, where he was the first
presiding elder of his church, and
with the pioneering habit in his
blood by the middle SOS he had
drifted down onto the Frisco river
in New Mexico to a place then
called Pleasanton, where he died in
the summer of 1886 of malaria.
After the manner of the old-time
members of his church he had two
wives, Aunt Priscilla of Eagar and
Aunt Louisa of Alpine They are
both living yet and are mighty in
teresting old ladies and their chill

Importance in Apache county's his

Jacob Hamblin's history was full
of hair-breadth escapes and start
ling adventures. Why, one time,
out in the Navajo country they tried
him and sentenced him to death,
and got the bed of Goals all ready
to put him in it, and he talked them
out of it. Then some hot head
worked up another frenzy and a
second decision to burn him alive
was made, and again he reasoned
them out of it, but before he got
away third agitator got there and
he had to go through it a third time.
and he spent a whole night talking
them out of three death sentences.
After thirty years of such as that
he lived to die of malaria.

one to take its place, should have
many more No young Mormon
should grow up and not know of
Jacob Hamblin. When James H.
McClintock wrote his book about
the Mormon settlement of Arizona
the New York Times, in its great
book review, reviewed the book
and published picture of Jacob
Hamblin, calling him THE Mormon
Leatherstockings 1t is some book
that can get review in that pa
per and the character depicted
must be worth while, too Let me
give you my own private opinion:
Jacob Hamblin was one of the
most useful men in the whole his
tory of the west When = Arizona
was settled 5000 people lost their
lives by Indian depredations; Utah
settled faster and earlier, lost less
than one-tenth as many, while
thousands of emigrants went
through the Mormon country in
peace because under the wise Utah
policy the Indians were properly
handled. 1t was under the leader
ship of Jacob Hamblin that it was
done. Many man got to Oregon
with his life or to California with
his scalp because of Brigham
Young's and Jacob Hamblin's sane
treatment of the red men. If
Apache county has one thing that
will become a shrine, it is the grave
of Jacob Hamblin up at Alpine,
where he is designated the Apostle
to the Lamanites. There never was
any one man in all the west more
trusted by them than was he.
