THE opening Of the new photoplay
season of 1925-26 at Loew's Palace
Theater this afternoon with Monta
Bells Metro-Goldwyn production,
Pretty Ladies'" is supplemented
with the announcement of the new
seasons opening at Loew's Columbia
next Sunday afternoon with the
screen version of "Beggar on Horse
back"
Both these theaters, through the
coming season, the announcement
states. will give Washington it's first
glimpse of every big attraction made
by the Famous Players-L -Lasky Cor
noration, and of those of the Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer producing interests,
as well as the offerings of United
Artists, which will include the pic
lures of Charles Chaplin, Douglas
Fairbanks and Mary Pickford.
Manager Beatus of LoeW's Palace
Theater, who has just returned from
New York, after a conference with
officials of Loew's, Inc, announces
that Loew's Columbia Theater Will
offer such photoplay achievements as
D. w. Grifiths new production, "The

Naturally Proud of Its Own.

IT is not often that Washington feels
a pronounced personal interest in
a new motion picture, even though it
be the first showing of a big film cor
porations new season product. 'Pret-
ty Ladies'" the first of Metro-Gold-
wynsl perfect %" series for 1885,
however, which open the new photo
play season at Loew'S Palace this
afternoon, should be an exception.
Pretty Ladies" is the directorial
output of Monta Bell, a native-born
Washingtonian, who entered news
paper work on The Evening Star as a
boy nearly 20 years ago, and who
later rose to the editorial chair of
another Washington daily and varied
his editorial duties by inaugurating
Summer stock seasons at the Shu-
hert-Garrick Theater here during the
wartime period.
Washington naturally looks on
Monta Bell as one of it's foremost
representatives in motion-plcture
ranks, not only because he is a ma
tive born Washingtonian, but because
his work since joining the Metro
GoIdwyn organization has made him
one of the most notable and there
fore the highest salaried of directors
on Marcus Loew's pay roll. To date
Bell has turned out around half a
dozen productions for that organiza-
ton, but Pretty Ladies'" a drama of
the "Follies," in which all the splen-
dor of that famous Ziegfeld musical
production has been transferred to
the silver sheet, is expected to prove
the greatest of them all.
Another item of interest in this
picture is the fact that Lilyan Tash-
man, who scored a personal triumph
here withsth Belasco Theater Play
ers a season or two ago, has one of
the features roles.
A story comes out of Culver City to
the effect that during a lull in produc-
ton work on the picture Mr.. Bell
was chatting with Ann Pennington,
and remarked to her:
This may be just another job to
YOU, Miss Pennington, "but it's real
thrill to me. When I used to sit in
the 50-cent top gallery of the Ma
tional Theater back in Washington
and we had to get there by 1:S0 pm.
on matinee days to get a good seat
watching you dance that solo number
that first made you famous, it never
entered my head that before very long
I'd be directing Ann Pennington in a
big motion picture in California.
Yet-here we are!'

Cheating Cheaters." Max Marcin' s
comic picture of setting a crook to

Players offering next week beginning
Monday, August 3. The piece, when
produced under the direction Of A. II.
Woods, ran a full season on Broad
way and met with equal success on
tour Cyril Keightly was the star OF
the original production.
Marcin, author of such successes as
Silence. and Badges" which latter
/ had Gregory Kelly in the Washing
ton production. has taken the old
adage "set a crook to catch q crook -
and woven a furiously funny comedy
about it. There are two sets of crooks
in the play and the action is concerned
chiefly with the antics Of one set in
outwitting the other. A laughable
suspense is maintained through the
| device Of making it appear that vic
tory for one group is almost certain
when a sudden turn upsets the plans
and the would-be victims become the
would-be captors. The chase through
out is merry and fraught with laugh

decided to join them.
She was not quite II when she land
ed in New York, a rather frightened
little girl with a wealth of beautiful
blonde hair. She had to work, so went
straight to Flo Ziegfeld and asked for
a job in the chorus of his follies
Ziegfeld placed her in the ranks.
No girl in that chorus worked hard
err than Dorothy Mackaill. In fact
she worked so hard that a motion
picture producer in the audience one
night picked her out as a girl with a
future. He sent for her and the re,
suit was that Dorothy secured q posi-
ton before the camera.
Here, again, her willingness to work
hard brought her victory. She cared
not whether her part was big or small
She put all she had into it and even
tually found herself an outstanding
figure in the screen world.
Dorothy is said TO be at her best in
