FILM LUMINARY
TOPS THE
EARLE

It's take-your-choice week at
the Earle Theater, so far as
headliners on the bill which
opened yesterday at the Thir-
teenth Street house are con-
cerned. And there's plenty of
good material to choose from.
The brightest shining name,
of course, is Clara Kimball Young,
more famed. perhaps, as a star
of the silent drama, but no Sec
ond-rater in the spoken enter
tainment. Miss Young returns in
the playlet, His Adorable Wife"
in which she held forth earlier
in the season down on Fifteenth
Street.
Dave Harris and Company, in
a miniature musical comedy,
could well hold the electric
lights all by themselves, If there
was no other feature on the
bill Mr.. Harris is about as
versatile an entertainer as variety
offers, and, with these two charm
ing damsels, Helen Joyce and
Dorothy Donnelly, the comedy of
frankie Hourigan and the piano
playing of Arnold New, they
offer delightful fun.
Lee Morse is a tiny bundle of
attractive personality that the
world has hitherto known only
as a voice on the monograph
records, but who shows she can
put it across in the footlights
glare, when it comes to singing
those Southern ''Blues."
Bentell and Gould, dancing
xylophonists, present good
novelty; Riva and Larsen are
excellent acrobats, and Morley
and Anger. in singing and dia-
logue. complete the vaudeville sec
ton of the program.
There's a little catch in the
breath for movie fans. The bill
may give them their last chance
to see that appealing little but
terfly. Barbara La MARI, who
only recently staged the last,
sad act of her life's drama. She
appears opposite Lewis S. Stone
in the First National film, THE
Girl from Montmarte.' 1t is
well acted, well directed film,
woven around an inconsequential.
but not wholly undressing story.
But, above it all, in the minds
of those who see it, there runs
through the thought of Miss La
MARI and the attempt to find a
prophecy or a lesson in the de-
piction Of the gay life of Mont,

ard Traversl. The thrills atten.
dant on the second fire make one
easily forgive the hackneyed in
terlude. A light punishment is
visited upon the villain, and tan.
giles unwind themselves as the
story closes.
All the acting is fair, but there
is such a rush and hurry that It
is not especially noted, except in
the case of Miss Chadwick. Her
charm and sincerity lend pleas
ant dignity to the melodran1a,
and she alone has few-too few
moments of closeup acting.
Altogether. the picture is filled
with interesting and entertaining
action. though seemingly hastily
directed.

other things, and an Our Gang"
Comedy rounds up the picture

IRENE FRANKLIN
AND OTHERS
AT KEITH'S

Keith,s bill this week is char
acterized by novelty and pep.
Headlfning is Irene Franklin,
who returns with generous
supply of character songs, most
OF them now familiar, with clever.
amusing words written by her
self. Though a blonde, Miss
Franklin is still billed as the
beloved redhead," and puts over
her songs in her own charming
manner, proving herself as popu-
lar as ever. She shines best in
her washerwoman number, and
"a Fireman's Jealous Wife
was a most welcome revival.
Jerry Jarnagin. who writes her
music, is a splendid .accompanist.
Long Tack Sam presents an
elaborate Oriental act, well ar
ranged and stunningly done by
large support which features
two delightful misses. Nina and
Nee Sa Long. who sing and
dance with surprising vivacity.
One is kept busy watching these
fast moving and amazingly adroit
Chinese. who do all sorts OF stunts.
Ted and AL Waldman made hit
with their nonsense and clever
harmonica playing and left the
audience wanting more.
The Di Gatanos have an ex-
cellent dance act, attractively
presented. and only convenience
OF arrangement forces them to
open the show, as their work de-
serves a better position. The
"Old and New number of Amelia
and the Apache dance by Sylvia
and Adam are more than worth
while.
In aThe Teacher and the Pupil, ;"
Artie Mehlinger does most OF
the singing in his lively way,
with Sam Williams at the piano,
hut Mr.. williams voice sounded
so well in his imitation of Eddie
Leonard that one wished he
would sing more. Marshall Mont
gomery. supported by Lucille De-
Haven. gives a novel twist to his
ventriloquist act. Naughton and
Gold follow intermission. They
kept last nights audience laugh
ing with their comedy A re-
freshing simplicity marks their
foolishness and they showed up
nicely in their English work

ANOTHER LINK IN
THE CRANDALL
CHAIN

Out Georgia Avenue at Farra-
gut Street on Saturday night
they opened the newest link in
the Stanley Crandall chain Of
motion picture theaeers - the
Colony. The bright lights flashed
on about GAS p. m. and the neigh
bors began to pour in until every
seat in the new screen emporium
was filled, and when the clock
hands pointed to p. m. the
notables filed out on the stage
and the dedication festivities
began.
The guests were seated in a
first class little house with about
1000 comfortable chairs, all on
one floor, and every one offer
ing q perfect view of the screen.
Also there is plenty of space be-
tween the seats, and an album
dance Of good fresh air. It's a
neighborhood house to be proud
of, and as Manager Sherman and
Neighbor Nelson Bell stood among
the posies and extended a wei
coming hand to their guests,
everybody seemed happy. Neigh
Dor Breeskin TAXED up from the
Metropolitan and led the orches-
ira for the gay premiere and
right well did he perform.
The picture chosen for the
premiere is Harry Langdon's
TRAMP, Tramp. Tramp" This
chap is about ready to challenge
Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin
and Buster Keaton for a niche in
the comedians hall OF fame. He
has been making short comedies
and this is his first seven-reel
picture. It's well gagged, well
acted and has story that. pro
vides just about 1896 laughs
in the 20 minutes it takes to
unreel. The Colony audience
thought it immense and the new
theater was right joyfully chris
tened with laughter. A Helen
and Warren comedy and a news
reel completed the program.
Almost forgot to mention that
for those neighbors who live up
or down the road spell, there's
plenty OF parking space. "A. *.

MUTUAL OPENS
WITH FLOOD
FILM

"The Johnstown Flood" had its
first film presentation here at
the Mutual Theater yesterday.
Manager Garrison announces that
his playhouse will be devoted to
this sort of amusement during
the summer months. and II his
future bookings are. on a par
with the opening feature, some
good screen entertainment Is in
store.
Irving Cummins has directed
this picture in an excellent man
ner. Building a tale of unselfish
love and greed Of gold around
that terrible tragedy in the little
Pennsylvania city, he winds it up
with a climax which for grim
realism has seldom been excelled.
In that moment when the burst
ing dam releases its sullen waters
on the helpless town, the spec
tator marvels at the genius OF
man, able to reproduce the ter
rible grandeur Of the scene with
such startling results. Buildings
were swept away like feathers,
people are buried beneath angry
waters and the whole city is
blotted out OF existence with
frightful suddenness. The wild
ride of the little heroine to warn
her neighbors of the onrushing
flood is one of the big moments
of the drama.
The play has its lighter periods
also. The horse car methods of
transportation, the dresses worn
by the girls OF that time and the
attire of the men get many
laughs. That particular scene.
depicting the home town baseball
team, fresh from a victory, down.
ing large glasses of lager beer
at the corner saloon won wild
cheers and signs of regret from
the male members of the au-
dience.
Leonard Chick was on hand
with severel well-rendered ba
lads. The Fox news reel was
interesting. A short comedy and
a scenic release completed the
program 5.
