William Cullen Bryant commented that
the Sharples portrait is fine" as lit
represents Washington in the vigor of
manhood, some years before Stuart's
portrait of him was taken"
The poet Henry Longfellow, after see
ing some small Photographic reproduc-

OF copies from life and copies adapted
from life there are estimated to be
about $50 OF Gen. Washington. while in
groups and various scenes of historical
interest there are hundreds more.
Washington was large man, almost of
heroic stature, and attracted the in
terest OF most artists who saw him. His
Importance in public affairs also caused
him to be continually besought for Sit
tings.
To Robert Edge in 1885, who re-
quested permission to paint his portrait,
he wrote in part: 1T is a proof, among
many others of what habit and custom
may effect At first was as impatient
OF the request and as FESTIVE under the
operation as q colt Is of the saddle.
The next time l submitted reluctantly,
but with less flouncing. Now, no dray
horse moves more readily to the thrill
than do to the painters chair"

Knew Women" which once upon
a time went by the name of The
Second Man" and was prepared for
theatrical digestion by the gifted
Mr.. S. N. Berhman, has been waited
onto the screen. 1t may be seen
this week at R-K-O Keith's. ..
Perhaps it's because the superb
memory of Journeys End" Is linger-
ing in this entertainment house that
He Knew Women" seemed Stilted,
crude and unreal. A complete anti
thesis TO Mr.. Sherriff'S war drama,
1t represents the So-called society
animal as a sometimes brilliant, but
more noticeably two-foOted moron.
Here at the beginning one finds a
middle-aged, admittedly third-rate
writer planning to marry a woman
merely for her money. Into his
life at the same time comes young
girl, who has an unconcealed pas
sion for him, but being an indie
terminate thing she cries, Il dispiSe
you'll" quite as much as, Il love
you" To complete the four-sided
triangle is nice young man, "a
scientific mole" who is not exciting
enough 10 be able 10 WIN the girl
until after he has taken shot at
his literary rival.
1t is due to Lowell Sherman alone
that this film rises to amusing
heights. His performance is splen-
did throughout. He, in fact, makes
of himself a remarkably lifelike
being. He polishes his role and
plays it for all it is worth, putting
the other actors to shame. Although
Alice Joyce looks remarkably well
in an. evening dress. her voice is
dTeadfully against her. The other
two members of the cast. David
Manners, who so distinguishes him
self in Journeys End" and Francis
Dade, seem in this picture more
like tyroS at the trade.
The outcome of it all is that Lowell
marrieS his money, the young girl
changes her mind for the nth time
and everything turns out quite as
one had expected 1t should.
Short subjects and the R-K-Olians
playing with their accustomed Verve
complete the program.
