OPENING ATTRACTIONS in WASHINGTON
THEATERS
PALACE-"The Divine Woman"

If Grcta Garbo is really divine
woman" the Sunday schools have an
other argument i'll their favor. There
seems TO be few better arguments to
Use on some people than Greta Garbo
herself. The Little Swede has enough
charm to be royalty hated by the F.
street fiappers whose escorts insist on
going to the Palace this week. The en-
tire picture is Greta Garbo and she
packs the house.
The star has faculty OF not only
being a superb actress. but of letting her
audience know it. We have had few
examples in recent months here where
a fine piece Of acting was lost In the
picture or in the directing. And then
we have had the converse. But Greta
Garbo goes over.
The story of the picture and the role
she plays arc hard, and with almost
any other star and any other director
there would be slight flatness at
least.
Lars Hansen. on the other hand. de-
serves full credit. He makes great
soldier and splendid fine hero.

crease Of interest In this more intricate
and subtle form OF musical entertain
ment in the National Capital. Many
string quartet organizations of renoWn
have given programs here and none OF
them has been more interesting than
that presented yesterday by the Curtis
aggregation. Incidentally, the Curtis
String Quartet had its debut in Wash
ingtOn and subsequent performances in
this hall. Following the program.
friends of the musicians met them in
the rooms of the music division for tea
This concert was of special signif-
canoe from two points of view. Music
ally 1t was important because Of the
remarkable way In which the Curtis
String Quartet played the rarely-reard
String Quartet in c Sharp Minor. Opus
49," written by Ludwig van Beethoven
more than 100 years ago. in 1926. 1t
is a stupendous work. 1t was one OF
the features here in the playing of all
String Quartet in the Beethoven CEN
tennial festival last year. The Kneisel
Quartet formerly played 1t and 1t Is
said that the FlonZalcy String Quartet
recently played it In public. The rug
gedness of Beethoven in This, one Cf
the works of the last year Of his life,
shows the breadth Of vision, the contra-
puntal brilliance. and the originality OF
the master composer. The presto move
ment and the following adagio brought
out these qualities most wildly. In the
first quartet, Mozarts Stirring Quartet
in B Flat" *. 458: 1784) the adagio
movement seemed particularly beautiful
in the true ensemble spirit.
The other feature OF the afternoon
was interest in the personnel of the
quartet This probably will be the
organizations last appearance In WASH
ington with its present membership.
1t is unique in being a quartet of vir-

METROPOLITAN-"Old Ironsides."

Laurence Stallings' masterpiece old
IrOnsides," beautifully and impressively
pictured on the screen by James Cruze.
Is held over at the Metropolitan for an
other week. The photoplay. for the
benefit of those who have not been for
tunate enough to see it, vizualizes those
romantic days in the earlier life of our
country. when the new Nation decided
to halt deprcdations of the bold Barbary
pirates. The picture gives keen insight
into conditions faced by our struggling
republic In bygone days. This his
torical perturbation Is sufficiently
blended with romance and comedy
very capably enacted, to be of more
than ordinary interest.
The thrilling battles between the
famous old frigate and the pirates are
softened by the romancing of Esther
Ralston and Charles Farrell. with q
touch Of comedy added by George God
frey. as ships cook. George Bancroft
and Wallace Beery. the former of
old 1ronsides." the latter of the good
ship Esther, make an able pair of sea-
men and comedians.
The picture is one that could not
help but stir the emotions of patriotism
and romance. It is remarkably we'll
done. and is indeed timely, in that 1t
gives Americans more significant view
OF the work being carried out now In
the United States to raise funds for
the preservation Of this ship, which has
won for itself immortality.
Musical selections by the Metropolitan
orchestra. under the able direction of
Alex PodnoS. lend atmosphere to the
production. The bill is completed by
