LITTLE PROSPECT
 OF A SETTLEMENT No Light Seen in Strike Situation
 by George Pickett WILL HAVE DRUM CORPS
Collection Of Valuable Documents Is Brought to Close-Clurch is Presented With Handsome safe other Items of Interest.

Little hope of a settlement Of the present strike ot brick workers was seen today by George Pickett Of the Anlcrican Brick company. Mir. Pickett said he spoke for large group of brick manufacturers in- NuNcd in the strike,
 Air. Pickett expressed the con\ic- tiua that "We'll all be lucky to get oL with our skins" as he put it eN;,,ntly meaning that both manu- fu,turers. and strikers will have & puyr season all around. The situa- tluu with regard to the manufactur- e., is practically at standstlll hc sai, In fact, he was of the opinion th. things generally arc more quiet q, 'r present time then al the time { ;rike vas tirs called.
 course the manufacturers are f, z the rnrorcrL idencss, said ". Pickett. They arc losing the sale o; millions of bricks. But if they arc srtirring, so arc tho workers. Most n1 hem are doing little or nothing toward bringing in wages. Some of them. to be sure. have secured other emp oyment but a large portion are hausinS around in tho hope that the striN" will hc settled fa> >orably 10 trcm and that they may go back to N.rh
 .luet how long tho strike will %'n- ti1ur. Mir Pickett would not venture to guess. He expressed confidence tha; the manufacturers will not give in 10 the wishes of the strikers. It ie practically certain, on inc other 1rnd that tho strikers will not go hac,; to work unless their union is re-, orri7cd. at least not for awhile.

METROPOLITAN
"Her Husbands Secret"

Fundamentalists may believe
that raising the dead is a miracle,
but we Modernists know better.
We see movie directors doing 1t
right along. This miracle, by the
way, is the only flaw that this
reviewer noticed in the unusually
dramtic production at the Metro
politan this week.
Her Husbands Secret" first
Of all, Is blessed with a plot that
has some original angles in IT,.
What a rare thing to say truvh-
fully of a movie! 1t is plausible
and makes the spectator feel its
reality.
In the second place, this picture
rises to splendid heights in its
drama. But the way to the climax
is built with care, so that one is
swept along with it, and it seems
natural when it comes.
Finally, the production is well
staged and directed. with the one
exception noted. Just why the
director had to drag this asinine
and thread. bare trick into the pres
entation, | am totally at d loss
ii would make a splendid climax
to let the hero remain dead and
close the picture with that scene
. at the foot Of the cliff. But our
audiences wouldn't patrOnize the
unhappy ending, so the directors
give us lin one reeD all the heart

PALACE
''WelcOme Home"

The director who gave us "The
Covered Wagon" has put on the
screen Welcome Home,'' based
on the stage play by Edna Ferber
and George S. Kaufman. The
production is serio-comedy that
doesn't go to the extreme in either
direction. Withall, however, it is
a deftly turned light story that
proves entertaining, even If it
doesn't knock you out of the seat.
The story concerns young MAJ
ried couple and the compiled
tions and tribulations that ensued
when the bridegroom papa came
to live with the cooling doves.
The old man had his own ideas
about things and kicked up quite
a rumpus in the siX-rooms- and
bath flat.
Lois Wilson plays the cherubic
young wife; wife, by the way,
that is almost too patient and
long-suffering to be believable.
The male leads are played by
Warner Baxter and Luke Cos
grave.
An Our Gang comedy, in whie!-
the kids chase a bold bad kid
naper, proves an interesting
feature. Topics of the Day also
are shown.
Washingtonians will be interested
in the Pathe News Weekly, show
ing the work being done in the
CMTC camp at Camp Humphreys.
Gannon's Orchestra adds con-
siderably to the enjoyment OF the
patrons, as is usual and proper.

KEITH'S-
Johnny DOOley

Johnny Dooley and his Tiptop
Revue headline at Keith's this
week, topping as we'll balanced a
bill as one may hope to see. 1t
is we'll to mention that four acts
stop the show.
Mr.. Dooley is by way of being
a pioneer in the arrangement Of
his act. Ignoring the premise
that a revue must have lavish
outlay of costumes and constant
singing and dancing numbers, he
has borne down on the comedy
of his entertainment until now
he has more laughs crammed
into his performance than there

She is about ninety-eight pounds
of concentrated energy, pretty,
and has a song and dance or two
that she puts over almost VIC
lently.
Arnaut brothers. pantomimists,
musicians, tumblers and what
not, have an unusual novelty act
that set the matinee back sew

imitation of flirtatious birds is
polished pantomime and should
disprOve for all time that pan.
tOmime is a serious and dignified
business. This is a hilarious of
fering and the whistled CONVEX
sation approximates the human
voice near enough that you know
what they're talking about. These
two stopped yesterdays show
and rightly.

EARLE
VaudevilIe-Films

For three and a quarter hours
the relentless show at the Earle
passes in review this week. Al
though no act dominates the bill,
the flag of Erin flies at the head
of the column and each offering
keeps step with the established
nolicy of the Earle-satisfaction
Frank Reckless and Co., In a
unique novelty sensational offer
ing, make a better opener tnan

Tuck and Ginns, to whom nature
has been unusually kind, or otn-
erwise. "Contortions" is their
strong point. Fred Jarvis and
Freddie Harrison offer their com.

Just a bit of nonsensical patter
neither here nor there. The
Great Lovers" Sully and Mack,
seemed to have learned that com.
edy is the secret of success and
reap plenty of fruits OF their
learning.
But the high lights Of the pro-
gram lie in the bigger acts.
"Those Were the Days. billed
as the Irish Comedy Singing Gas
sic. is hardly a classic" Jim
McCool and Tommy Reilly, assist
ed by Kathleen Murray, are cred
tied with the acts success. Some
thing different is found in the
final act, How Circus Riders
Are Made" Lillian ST. Leon is
the featured "barebacker" in a
cast of five circus riders and
horses. The latter part of the
act is rich in fun, taking the
form of a contest to determine
who of a number of applicants
is the most successful amateur
bareback rider. Try it.
The Earle News, comedy and
overture lead up to the first
Washington presentation of Peter
B. Kyne's story, Beauty and
the Bad Man" This is a story
of the old West, of a beautiful
orphan girl with a wonderful
voice and of a bad man who saved
her from the danger of a dance
hall and sends her to Europe.
Some persons will find thrills in
the shootin' and poker games,
and others will only see a means
of exploiting costumes Of 1880,
which fact is done to the nth
degree. Mabel BALM and For
rest Stanley lead a rather gro
tesque cast-E. L. p.

The most important movie
news of the week Is developing
right around Loew's Columbia
Theater, where a new star is be-
ing hoisted, with cheers and
laughter, to the throne which
means fat contracts for him, long
lines at the box office and inter
views in all the film magazines.
He is Raymond Griffith, whose
silk hat, although not an i'm
portant part of his apparel, Is
becoming as famous, but moro
rapidly, than Chaplin's baggy
trousers or Lloyd's specs. Gr4f-
fith's silk hat is his trademark.
He doesn't need it in his bust
ness, but it's distinguishing
sign, and a darned good one,
too. You can't miss a silk hat
not even with a SNOWFALL.
The picture is completely dis
arming, brilliantly illogical and
Highly ridiculous. 1t is one of the
most entertaining underworld

TIVOLI---
"Chickie"

Dorothy Mackaill, one OF the
most plaintive and naive Of the
newer stars Of the silver sheet,
is occupying the screen at Gran
dall's Tivoli Theater today.
"Chickie," the story of a present
day stenographer with a yen for
luxury and the companionship of
millionaires. The tale Is hand
somely told and enlists the serv-
ices Of a group Of notable film
personalities in addition TO the
charming young English girl
about whom the plot reVolves.
The bill is augmented by a new
Hal Roach comedy, Yes, Yes,
Nanette," an affirmative travesty
upon the negative musical com
edy that has been a substantial
hit. Another important supple
mentary feature is new issue
of the Pathe Review.
