CITY WEARS HIGH
HATS TO MOVIE
Innovation Is Staged at Rial
to's Private Showing of
'MichaeI Strogoff."
Shades Of Booth and Barrett-and

Shades Of Booth and Barrett--and
| even William Shakespeare himself!
Washington, in high hats. went to
the movies last night!
There was a brlght-colored canopy
| from the entrance to the curb, a car
pet for silken slippers; crowds gath
cred to see the distinguished guests
enter the theater. and q chap took
| f1ashlight photographs. 1t was a gala
occasion, something like the openings
Of the opera season--and the first
time since Maj. L'Enfant surveyed
the marshes that Washington went
to the movies in high hats.
1t Happened at Rialto.
A little more than week ago in
vitations were sent out to the pre-
opening performance Of Michael
Strogoff" at the Rialto Theater. Carl
IAemmle cordially requested a favored
few hundred ito attend the private
American premiere showing of the
Jules Verne spectacular melodrama
under the patronage Of Count de Sar-
tiges, charge d'affaires of the French
Republic, r. S. V. P" Also the invi-
tation announced that Michael
Strogoff" was a "Universal-Film de
France triumph"
But the outstanding fact is that
Washington went to the movies in
high hats, although Michael is not
high.hat movie. Jules Verne wrote
the story when the world at large was
getting it's first taste of thrill fiction
and before the days Of machine guns.
germ murders and telltale finger
prints. Therefore, it is rather old
fashioned.
The ways Of the villain are crude
and out-of-date, but he jumps to the
front with his nefarious schemes at
least once in every SO feet of film.
He was the king-bee Of villains in
the days Of Jules Verne and when
grandpa was a lad.
Fight Gives Real Thrill.
Two Of the most impressive scenes
of the photoplay are the fetes in the
czar's palace and the Tartar camp,
but the real thrill comes in the fight
between the hero and the villain, a
terrific struggle which may result In
several American movie fighters los
ing their crowns.
The film tells the story in a stupen-
dous way-the wide sweeps Of the
steppes, the encampments and the
mountain scenery-and it illustrates
the fact that it is possible to preserve
the intimate story in the midst of
spectacle. The closeup shots are en-
tirely different from those Of the
American photoplays, and the French
producers seem to have solved this
particular problem.
The trials Of Michael Strogoff have
| lived long in the minds of the older
generation. and now the hero lives
anew through the photoplay.
But, anyway, Washington in high
hats went to the movies.

FRIED SPUD ARTIST
CAPTURES FAME.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-Fame aad wealth
have come to a Montmartre artist
who until a few years ago sold fried
potatoes for a living. Emile Boyer
had talent, perhaps genius; but he
did not know it until one day friend
told him one of his pictures, which he
had painted for his own amusement,
was exhibited for sale at the gallery
of a prominent Paris art dealer.
Boyer visited the dealer and found
the friends information correct.
Though me picture was signed with
a pseudoym, "Utrillo," the painter per-
suaded the skeptical dealer to 70 with
him to his tumble down store. The
dealer bought on the spot a dozen
landscapes which Boyer had painted
while not serving fried potatoes to
customers.
Prosperity had came to the little
Montmatre home, but fame came
later, only through the caprice of
princess.
One day Princess Lucian Murat
became hungry while wandering up
and down the steep streets of the
romantic old hill and stepped into
Boyer's shop. She asked for a
nickel's worth Of "pommes de ter.e
frites," which the artist CALAMITY
served on a silver platter. The prin-
cess looked around in wonder at the
picture nailed on the wall and ended
by arranging to have Boyer paint her
portrait.

BELGIUM'S DRY LAW,
2 BOTTLES OR NONE,
WORKS WRONG WAY

BRUSSELS, Jan. 16.-Bclgium
has curious drink restrictions. One
can buy no spirits at all unless one
buys two whole bottles at once. A
single whiskey or a liqueur is I'M
obtainable, though in a restaurant
it is permissible to pour a whole
bottle onto some sweet if the GUS
toner desires it.
The idea of the "two-bottle" regu-
lation was to discourage workmen
from drinking spirits. The only
result is. that workmen who for
merly wanted to drink an occa-
sional glass, and drink It when re-
quired, now club together to buy the
necessary two bottles and drink it all
as rapidly as possible.
