In filmdom.
The picture burlesque situations
of the World War and the plot is
not particularly engrossing, but
the often clever though sometimes
coarse subtitles are invaluable to
the production. The story deals
with the homely friendship Of
Patrick Muldoon, a typical Irish
policeman, and August Krause, a
German saloon-keeper.
Both are interested in a beauti-
full Russian sculptress Natalie
kingstonl. A hobo sells the Ger
man an invention lin reality, a
discarded radio, which he swears
will finish the war in one grand
explosion. So when August IS
called to the Kaiser's aid, he
takes with him the invention,
thenceforth called the "Hoot-
nanny"
When America enters the scrap,
the Irishman feels he must regain
the instrument before destruction
descends upon the allies. Too old
for the United States Army, Olga
gets him into the Russian guards.
An excellent International News
reel includes among other in
teresting items, the take-off of
Byrd over the Atlantic and of
Maitland over the Pacific. A
Bruce scenic and shots of famous

film offerings.

The National Cleaners and Dyers,
at 1924 Fourteenth Street N. w,
was founded by Joseph Hoffman
on August /. 1915. Before coming
to Washington he was actively en-
gagged in the operation Of three
similar plants in Philadelphia, Pa.
At the present time he owns and
operates three stores in Washing
ton. The shops are members of
the National Association of Clean
ers and Dyers and guarantee high
class work in dyeing, cleaning and
pressing at moderately low costs.
Mr.. Hoffman's long service record
in this particular line has made him
master cleaner and dyer and
enables him to meet the demands
of the Washington public. The
business requires the attention of
IA people and they are ready to
render service at all times--a fact
which is well proved in the quality
work that is produced for National
Cleaner and Dyer customers.
